Constantly Desyncing

sort
grafvonzan 3 years ago Hello all. I am having some pretty rough de-sync issues, even when I am hosting. I have three friends who play ZK as well, and they do not have any de-sync issues at all, so it must be something on my end. However- I consistently play on different networks, and all of them are pretty decent. I find it hard to believe that all the networks I play on all have the same issue causing a de-sync, but none of my friends have any similar issues. Any ideas? +0 / -0
Chesti 3 years ago is it a real de-sync where the games tells you are desynced? If yes try to clear the path cache or maybe even a real install. Do you have an example game where this happened? Maybe it is just the ping, do you go over VPN? regards +0 / -0
Aquanim 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) Assuming you installed through Steam try verifying file integrity. If you can grab an infolog.txt (from the install folder, there is a link in the help menu) after a game where you desynced and share it that would help a lot. +0 / -0
Porkchop 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) There's a recently added setting that lets you adjust some of the network properties for when you host a game. Look in the Game tab for Network Connection. I don't know which option is best for your situation (Fast or Reliable) but one of those might be an improvement over the Balanced option. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 3 years ago It sounds like broken game files. Redownloading should work. +0 / -0
grafvonzan 3 years ago Alright, thanks for the tips. I have re-validated in the past, to no avail, but I have done so again. I'll let you guys know if the issue continues. For reference, here is one of my desync reports: https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/CrashReports/issues/32909 I appreciate all the help, my friends and I greatly enjoy the game. :) +0 / -0

Specifically, the Minotaur wreckage model. I suppose the thing to try would be to see if you regularly get desyncs after a Minotaur is destroyed. +0 / -0
Aquanim 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) I think previous errors of that kind have been fixed by validating the game files so hopefully your issue is now resolved. If you get the same error with "correap_dead.s3o" after revalidating you might need to try a reinstall. +0 / -0
