OUT of SYNC problem in patch?

[Magyar Khan]

we (the hunters) noticed that a number of games on comp resulted in a out of sync drop of a player, more than it did before. let say 3-4 of 10 comp games!

from what i have asked around others experienced this as well.

the betatesters played solely on friendly http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

i got an idea what might be the problem, but the real testers will find the solution.

so who experienced this as well?

Yup we Rages have experienced this quite a bit as well. Both friendly and comp games. with different members as the hosts. Everyone goes out of sync, kicked back to room. No countdown.

we dropped maybe 4-5 times outta 10 games tonite. In one game it worked fine with me, rageKrast, rageStorm and RageSword, straight afterwards same 4 members went to play again and we experienced an out of sync.

Plz help http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif.

Good point...although when Rage played..we must have had Krast involved for this to be so..as we all have Euro MI patch....Krast has GAH! Patch!

[ElmarkOFear]

I have noticed drops in only the 4v4 games i have hosted. 3v3 and down has been fine.

[Rath]

I played in 4 games today....4 drops....3 before the game started becoz of out of sync and with someone who usually has a good host (koc). Sooooooo what's going on with it and more importantly what's going to be done about it ?

Btw 3 of the 4 drops were in comp.

[Kocmoc]

ahhhh,

sorry again rath, i try to change to english version,...maybe i helps..

btw, never my ally droped, only the enemy droped ??!?

so, i think mag use english patch....

the first step in the right direction sould be, that such games dont count.
and if the other hits esc, this game counts too :O

i played a guy, who lost, than he hit esc http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif
in stw, the games just didnt count, now he get a win, if he hit esc.

so, i need just to hit esc, and i win always...

No need to apologise at all Kocmoc u were not at fault m8 http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

guys,

nope. we didnt do much testing in comp games. about the only time i tested comp was right at the end to make sure the external stat files couldnt be used in comp games and didnt crash when i did.

who knows, could have just been 'a bad net day', sorta like a bad hair day (?) or a bad server day (?) or who knows what all.

it would also help if you post specific data on what version everyone in the crashed game is using, we/mi/gold, where everyone is playing from, who hosted, who dropped and so on. if it's a true out of sync (oos) problem, generally one player will drop while the rest remain in the game, unless it's the host who is oos and then everyone is forced to drop cause the host does. if everyone is consistently being forced to drop from the same group of players who are using different hosts each game, then i'd say this isnt an oos thing, but something else.

best thing is to try and collect as much specific data as possible and post it or email it to CA so that they might get a handle on what's going on.

K.

I'm sorry, but i never apologize.

Guys, I will talk to CA about this problem tomorrow, but indeed I need to know more details.

There could be inconsistencies in the different patch versions, although I don't yet see what the problem can be. If this happens to you, try to find out which versions people are using. You can mail details to me (erado_san@hotmail.com) or post them here. I can then put some info together that CA can use to look into this.

[Puzz3D]

I've experienced no problems in friendlies with v1.02 except the usual drops that were always there. I'm using WE Euro v1.02, and playing mostly with others with the same patch.

And guys, one more question. As this is happening in competitive games by the look of things, and since apparently now the honour of dropped games goes to the one who dropped, are you sure your opponents are reliable?

Not accusing anybody of course, I just want to know what the heck is going on.

[Catiline]

Bwefore anyone http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif complains about consistency I'm leaving this thread open here for now as it strikes me as more important to sort out comp problems than discussing the troop stats, and people are more likely to report those issues here.
