Co-op and desync still a thing?

[Ozolz]

Hi,

I used to play FAF a lot with some friends mainly Co-Op missions but a while back a patch made it unplayable with desync happening every time we tried. It was patch related, but I couldnt read up on the notes if this was fixed or not since then.

So is anyone playing FAF Co-op missions with a friend and does the desync still happen?

Really want to come back since there is no other RTS game that comes close to this...

A lot of the maps are still broken. Try speed's client for coop

Thanks for the tip, but sadly we got an issue. I posted the problem on that thread but putting it here too, in case someone knows a possible fix.

Hi,my friend did exactly as instructed to install (me too) but he gets this error when trying to use the Coop.ink shortcut. The screen is just black and once he press Esc, this error is shown:
"
CD3DDeviceResources::DevResInitResources: Unable to load effect file /effects/cartographic.fx

Program : C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe
Cmd line arguments : /init init_speed_coop_beta.lua
"

If he runs the normal Forged Alliance shortcut in Steam it works just fine.

We both got game and everything installed on C:drive

Its clearly nothing to do with the file "cartographic.fx" because I copied his file to my PC and the Coop.ink starts the game just fine.

Tried reinstalling everything, same error still.

What to do?
