Desync when pinging, No mex capping

Postby LeMaddin » 17 Oct 2016, 23:24

Hello to the devs,

I don't know, if this is the right place to post this, but feel free to move the thread.

A mate and I just started a beta game for testing the some new features.
We encountered two issues:

When we placed a ping (it doesn't matter if move, support, ...) we got 2 desyncs after a few seconds. This was reproducible.
The desyncs also appear when using the new delayed transfer feature where at the end of the transfering a ping is set.

We also tried the new mex cap feature which doesn't work at all. Maybe we did something wrong? I tried to right-click, double-right-click, shift-right-click,.... with an engineer selected, but nothing.

For the Tests we switched all mods off (including CommonModTools).

So long,
LeMaddin.

Sounds like one of you had a bad data set. Try deleting everything in c:/programdata/faforever/gamedata to force the client to re-download the files.

Believe you need to enable the cap mex option in the settings menu before you can use it

Ok,
wasn't aware to have to switch the mex feature on in the settings *sigh*.
It works perfectly.

But the desyncs are still present. We have both deleted the gamedata folder.
