i had a game with two people and mid game a out of sync sign apeared.we just ignored it and carryed on playing.then they told me they destroyed me but all my forces were still on the map then i destroyed both of them and they told me all there forces were still on the map very weird.

can you explain the problem and fix it for beta 3.please reply

mh, the out of sync problem was ment to be fixed with the last patch..
if you had the latest patch installed.. was one of the players noxter?

out of sync means that the game does no longer run synchronously and therefore different and strange things may happen. the beta3 development version seems to be free of out-of-sync problems..

Greetings,
Optec

mh thanks, i will test it.. i have the feeling it could be something with the wormholes

it happens on other maps without wormholes like dustybattle grounds.i have noticed that when a new ship is built or something is researched of any race then it out of sync apears.i think it may be something else than just wormhole problems

i would suggest that you try all maps with a number of people to find the problem.

hm we corrected a few out-of-sync problems after the patch for beta3... all beta3 games went fine till now (with up to 3 people on nearly all maps)..
without the out-of-sync patch there were problems when initiating research.. i think they are all solved for beta3. but i will make a few more testgames as soon as possible

Ive noticed crashes on nirvana 2 but never the actual out of sync error.
