5.1.6 - Activating a faction's special tank introduces de-sync
Posted: 21 Mar 2019, 01:47
The group of friends I often play this mod with, myself included, have played countless hours on this mod. We love it!
We can't be sure of how long this has been true, but we have noticed that if you build the 'starred' tank in the faction you choose, it introduces de-sync for the player that builds that tank (i.e. Super Pershing). Most times, it will result in that player dropping from the game and finishing on his own. Sometimes, we simply end up finishing at different times, and end up with different end-game scores. Another symptom we see is our own units not following our commands, and instead acting as if the human player is one of the CPUs guided by other players' use of the Capture, Defend, and Attack buttons. But we've found that it only occurs if someone builds that "special, starred" tank if available in the faction of choice. We have confirmed this behavior over several maps, although I cannot be sure if all the instances were on community-made maps or not (or some other distinguishing factor). Please let me know if I can clarify anything.
Thanks!
