I'm happy to announce that it will be fixed in 3613 ! (released next week).

I just gave up trying to compile a list.

Problem is, the amount of data is HUGE and I don't exactly understand how it maps to the directories in faforever.faf

You get the SAME desync if someone plays with 3599 FAF vs 3603 FAF (non-steam).

Interesting. God I wish I had a list of exactly what all the 3603 patch changed and where (what files) it changed it in.

IT'S NOT STEAM

It's 3599 and 3603 (which 'is' Steam, but 'is' SupCom, too).

So FAF seems to be missing one or more files from 3605 vs. 3599. I'll make a list.

And these are the new steam lobby:
\lua\ui\lobby\gamecreate.lua
\lua\ui\lobby\gameselect.lua
\lua\ui\lobby\lobby.lua
\lua\ui\lobby\lobbyComm.lua

They do have some network stuff in them though.

So it's MOST LIKELY the executables....

Are you comparing Steam to 3603 ? Or 3599 instead...? I did the same mistake first.

There are no detectable differences in units.scd

In fact, in Lua.scd, the only changes are in the localization and menu files, so it says steam and not gpgnet.

you can run fa and tell it to do a log to show on beat 1 where in fa that its pointing to.

effect is 1kb bigger in steam,
lua is 17kb bigger
units is 1k smaller

in steams bin folder is has a few extra files,

d3dx9_31.dll
game.dat
gpgcore.dll
gpggal.dll
LuaPlus_1081.dll
MohoEngine.dll
SHW32d.DLL
SupremeCommander.exe < steam fa exe

the rest look normal

No, I'll attempt something to disprove that tonight.

I'll run FAsteam with an FAFbin directory that's from FAretail.

If I still get desyncs, then the issue is indeed in gamedata. If I don't, the issue is in the binaries (much easier to fix)

Obviously you should be comparing steam and non-steam installs of FA, including the individuals files in the .scd directories. Then see if any of those files listed is not in faforever.faf.
