Desync in every game

[Salami]

Hello! Anyone know why I've gotten a desync message in every single online game that I've played? It doesn't matter if the game is modded or not. The game starts, it says "waiting for other players to join", the desync message pops up with a list of players' names, people freak out on chat, the game continues smoothly without problems. But should there be any lag, I'm always the one asked to leave, even when it's not me who is lagging.
I have the original copy version of the game patched up to 1.5.3599. I've already tried reinstalling and deleting the whole folder, but the problem remains. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks for reading.

It's likely you have a broken map, or some kind of hard mod.

Try to rename/move your maps folder (so supcom doesn't find them) and see if the problem persists.

The game may APPEAR to run smoothly but what you are seeing is often completely not what the game looks like for the others (desyncs are like the butterfly effect, something small gets out of whack early on and every second that passes, the game becomes more and more detached from reality)

Does the desync pop up again and again, or does it go away after the first beat?

The desync goes away after the first beat.

Okay, that's good (you can play) but bad (we had this fixed a while ago and wonder why it still occurs).

Open the FAF menu "Options->Settings->Clear...->Game Files" and try to play again.

Didn't do anything :-/

Can you list the files (or post a screenshot) of the contents of your Forged Alliance "gamedata" folder?

Here is a screen capture of my gamedata folder

Thanks for the picture. To remove the desync you MUST remove the following files:
02_Sorian_Ai_Pack.scd
03_Lobbyenhancement.scd
BlackopsSupportv50scd.scd
BlackOpsUnleashedv52.scd
lemreadme.txt

Also, you see you have 5 loc_XX.scd files. You probably only use one and should delete the rest.

To elaborate, Sorian AI, LEM, and blackops are all integrated into FAF so you do not need them installed. Also, the loc files are just localization... whichever language is displayed in-game for you, just keep that one.

Thanks for your quick reply. I've now deleted all of those files and left 1 loc_US file in the folder, but the problem still remains.
Could the problem be with the 001SCTA-MapPack.scd file? Would you recommend deleting that one aswell?

Unlikely, but you can try (rename it .old to test).
