Multiplayer problem

from Sins Forums

I just tried my first multiplayer game, and there's some strange problem. It seemed as if me and the other players weren't playing the same game, my capital changed automatically, and buldings from another race appeared on my planets. Others kept saying i'm taking a beating, when from my point of view i was doing fine.

Is this a known bug, and is there a solution for it?

 

edit: i watched the replay,and apparently anything i did was not visible to the other players. Maybe it was some sort of connection problem?

It happens a lot to me as well after 1.1

It only happens after the host leaves, but each player's game diverges and see different things...  =\

It sounds like what you're experiencing is called a Desync error where people's computers end up hosting different games, killing the game.  This will be fixed in the 1.12 patch which should be available soon.  A 1.12 beta patch is available but everyone has to have it in order to play.  You can find it in the Desync Woes thread in the Developers Journal forum (3rd from the top).
