Logs are more interesting, but I need all players logs.

Desync happening in game are real desync. Nothing can be done. Not related to replay. Should never happens. Ever. Report when it does.

It's probably some crap that is written in the replay.

I could remove it easily if someone take the time to analyze a replay tick per tick.

Ah OK, I see. Yes, it's never truly consistent with the cause or timing of desync.

I'm not saying that replay desynching are a legend, I'm saying that it's caused by player not leaving with the score screen is.

It may be the trigger of that (or not), but very unlikely the cause.

Not a legend. I remember watching a replay of an epic game I once had and it desynced a few minutes in, and the game went completely differently, units did some random things etc.

That' an urban legend.

Nobody really knows what happens with a replay desynching.

We need to analyze the command causing it (quite possible if you replay tick per tick and print each command from the replay).

As I understand it, the replay files are just information giving a series of clicks, co-ordinates and time, and then the replay just issues these commands at the appropriate times and the sim plays through those commands to recreate the game exactly as it was.

Say there are four players in a game, each of them should have identical replay files. In the instance that somebody quits incorrectly (alt+f4, pulling plug, power failure etc) then their replay file will not be finalised and so will not match the other replay files. This causes the replay to do things that didn't happen like that in the actual game, and the longer the game goes on from the desync, the further from reality it gets.

You should always quit using the menu to avoid this happening.

what does desynch do ?

2013-09-09T14:51:35+02:00

hi,
i was told if a desynch happens in a replay gameplay will be imaginary and things that didnt actually happen shows in the replay so why does it happen and what does it basicly do ? does the ai take controll of the game then ?
