Ah, multiplayer. That's my department. If you wish to play online, you must revert to original formations. If you don't, you'll get desynchronization errors.
EDIT: Wanted to mention that you can play online with a formation mod only if your opponent uses the same formation mod. Our online community as of yet uses the original formations. This is because we don't need formations (since we don't use group+formation buttons, and we don't face computers).
