Games Desynch at the start, but I can easily continue

[Plasma_Wolf]

As in the title. The games desynch the moment they start, but there is actually nothing wrong. I can play, my opponents can and the game can continue as if there is no desynch at all. I've looked in the game.log, but I can't really work out what the problem is, because there is no additional information to the desynch.

In the test game (of 5 seconds), I replicated the desync and the game.log, forever.log, replay.log (I've watched the replay of the test game to make sure it's updated) are provided.

I've also ensure that there are no mods or UI mods active.

Edit: I may have a solution to this problem, but I really can't say for sure: [url]http://www.faforever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6790&p=69104#p69104[url]

Could be a different version of the map but with the same name, or a modification in your SCD files.

It's probably not the map, because I have this problem with every single map I'm playing. I could try to reinstall FA and FAF.

Edit: Reinstalling the game didn't help. Reinstalling FAF also didn't help (that's not really a surprise though).

I have also tried removing all files from the /binFAF folder (Is that still being used) and replacing them with the new files from the reinstalled /bin folder. Also this doesn't work.

It looks like this is an unsolvable issue.

I'm completely stumped now: I have reinstalled FA and FAF (the latter repeatedly to clear some files). I have used the clear files option in FAF, on the cache, settings and Game Files and the problem still persists.

What's also weird, is that the player I have tested some games with, does not have the warning "Checksum for beat 0 mismatched:", something I would expect because he has the desynch on his screen as well.

Additionally, In a game with more players, I get the warning

Code: Select all

GetResource: Invalid name ""
info: Can't find texture "" -- trying fallback.

Less. 3 times instead of 5...

I also don't know how it cannot find a texture. The reinstalls should have dealt with this.

Anyway, here are some more logs. One of my in a two player game, one of the other player in a two player game and one of me in a four player game. All with the exact same result: a desynch, but the one from the other player doesn't report it in the log.

I don't even know what these texture warning are. I would really like to know so I can fix them to be honest

But yes, they are probably part of your problem.

By the way, I've checked in steam : These textures errors are there too.
I think they are related to missing icons for units, as it also display each time you open the cheat menu.

[Plasma_Wolf]

I have tested the game a lot of times with one person (the same as the one of whom I posted the log) and he had this issue every time after playing a skirmish game, started from steam. However, when he cleared the game files through FAF (Options-Clear-Files), then the problem would be solved.

Clearing the game files didn't work for me though.

[Ze_PilOt]

The steam version doesn't use anything related to the FAF one, so I don't see why clearing the cache should solve these texture errors in steam.

I try more detailed the Log on the missing texture.

But i have Steam version and i have always this error, i can play without any problem.

It's not this i thinks.
