The multiplayer errors are back (?)

Well, I need your experience to figure this out:

I have played ToH games through Ubi and Hamachi for some weeks with 1.2, (about 15 games)  and never had any crash or sync errors when in the game.

Then, yesterday I played Sovetcki (Ubi). First we crash to windows when taking the crypts on "Mystic Vale". Then, we finally found out that none of us see eachother (we both had the same town for instance...). Sync error of another world. 4 hours wasted before we realized that this was going a bit too easy for the both of us...

Then, new game today vs Tc_fear (Hamachi). Pensillua (or whatever). Same crash when I found the crypt there, and when we try to fight the fight wont start (""you gotta place your troops to start the fight .. "" blah bla message when holding the mouse over the start combat icon), and a bit later he doesent see my hero etc, so well. Totally out of Sync. 4,5 more hours wasted.

My first question is - have these errors been here all along, and I just lucky to avoid them up until now?

And second: How can you then discover that there is a sync bug before, well, too late?

Nothing can kill the online experience like this. Since I am back at work tomorrow, maybe it was the destiny... but no, i don`t thiiiink so.

:P

I have 2-3 errors for TOH games in ubi. I think that, it is a possibility to have eror when you hide part of your army before combat. Because of that I m not hiding trops.

Well, yeah this might just be right. But then again, in the games i played the stats were decent, so it must have "stopped" someway during the game. Maybe the saves after crypt-crashes creates the sync error?

If not a cure, it is at least a way to minimize waste of time

but dont forget   :
autosave will only help if the error just appeared.
you can't load the autosaves you made while you where "out of sync".

untested theory to fix synch bug

I have come to realize that sync bugs heppen a lot when during your opponent's turn, the turn bar stops doesnt move no more. If that is the case, it's prolly cause game out of synch.

What i suggest is to reload the same turn or previous turn and see if the synch bug happens.

I f you play with a corrupted save, then the entire game is ruined. You must reload game at precise moment synch problem happens.

I havenot tested this thoery yet, but perhaps it should work

I will test this karim.
i forgot to mention that i also have had a period of weeks (!) where everything was fine. but since couple of days its worse than ever. i got kicked from ubi-server, i got out of sync, i cant load saved games anymore. for me LOT of bugs are back and i have no clue what makes the game do that to me

Hmm, I think Karim26 could be right with his theory about the progress bar. Had the same thing when I was battling Bobby Ohms and we eventually did get an out of sync bug.

Hey,

- I have had some similar problems lately too. Not encountered the "re-load" problem yet though. "hope" Karim26 is right, then we atleast know what and what not to do.
