Hello Luxcerv,

FAF should not install any mods inside the steam folder.
I will have an eye on it.

Thanks for your reply!

Greetings, Uveso.

I've found another issue with my mods, I don't know whether they are contained within another mod (?) but I apparently have 3x build range and experimental wars installed even though I remember uninstalling them and they are no longer in my mod folder (Documents/My game etc)

edit: I found that somehow FAF autoinstalled some copies of mods to my steam folder? I know it autoinstalls to documents/mygames/gps/sc/mods. This is probably the issue overall.

Hello Luxcerv,

Since we know, that Xtreme wars is causing the issue you can copy back the 02_sorian_ai_pack.scd if you want to use this on steam:
(You don't need to delete this, if you play FAF)

Code:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\supreme commander forged alliance\gamedata\02_sorian_ai_pack.scd

Just to be sure;
You now need to delete xtreme wars from both PC to clear all old files from the mod.
Then redownload and install the mod from:
http://faforever.uveso.de/XtremWars(AllGameVersions)-v1.2.rar

You should now test the game with only XtremWars enabled.

Test it for some games, and report here if its running (or not).

gretings, Uveso.

Hello Luxcerv,

the 2 logs from (username windows) Thunder and Patrick.

Both logs show that the sorian AI pack is installed while plaiying FAF. FAF has his own Sorian AI!
Please remove this on both PC if you play FAF (or make a gaminstallation only for faf.)

Code:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\supreme commander forged alliance\gamedata\02_sorian_ai_pack.scd

Then i see wrong installations of some mods on thunder PC:

Code:: "c:\users\thunder\documents\my games\gas powered games\supreme commander forged alliance\mods\brewlan_0755.7z" is not a valid .zip file. "c:\users\thunder\documents\my games\gas powered games\supreme commander forged alliance\mods\readme.md" is not a valid .zip file. "c:\users\thunder\documents\my games\gas powered games\supreme commander forged alliance\mods\totalmayhem(allgameversions)-v1.33.rar" is not a valid .zip file.

You tested the game with mods enabled. This way we can't see if this desync is from a mod or not.

Code:: info: Quantum Resource Generators (D817E8B8-5F40-3656-0140-F37F6166FB5E) info: BlackOps FAF: Unleashed (9e8ea941-c306-aaaf-b367-u00000013000) info: The Dairy Farm (55D5A55I-55R5-5432-2345-555YF555A55R5) info: Extreme Wars (81DE7248-XTWA-3652-0120-94B6CD7856CC) info: Smart Tactical Missiles (6BEA1FF0-5D8B-3656-0180-C359C5A5E849) info: Resource Rich (74A9EAB2-E851-11DB-A1F1-F2C755D89593) info: Nuclear Repulsor Shields (44844B72-6054-3656-0150-D5FA6066FB5E) info: BlackOps FAF: ACUs (9e8ea941-c306-4751-b367-a00000013000) info: BrewLAN (25D57D85-7D84-27HT-A501-BR3WL4N0000755) info: Total Mayhem (62e2j64a-TOMA-3652-0133-146as555a8u3) info: BlackOps Special Weapons (9e8ee941-c306-4751-b367-e10000000104) info: Ninja Reclaim Drones (FEC17324-7392-3652-0140-119A739294E0)

Desync starts at the time, where only the ACU is present. So we can asume its not a modded unit, its the mod itself changing gamefiles.

Code:: warning: Desync at beat 1 tick 0.20000000298023

After viewing this;
1. Clear all mods from the gamedata folder: All files with a .scd ending and a differnet timestamp then the installation date of the game.
Thunder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\supreme commander forged alliance\gamedata\
Patrick: d:\steam\SteamApps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\gamedata\

2. Test the game now with NO mod enabled. if you can build a factory, then a mod is desyncing the game.

3. Be sure you installed all mods inthe right form (unzip/unrar it)
c:\users\thunder\documents\my games\gas powered games\supreme commander forged alliance\mods\
c:\users\patrick\documents\my games\gas powered games\supreme commander forged alliance\mods\

4.Now check, what mod is desync the game.

5. Report it here

Huge desync issue

2017-08-23T17:10:40+02:00

Game starts as normal, desync pops up about five seconds in, we don't crash however my friend even though in lobby is shown on team 1, desyncs hugely and apparently we aren't on the same team. No idea what the cause is as we should have identical files in terms of mods.
