Multiplayer Desync solutions
Hello everyone! I was wondering what tip or tricks you all have to help with Desync issues in multiplayer. My friend and I have been trying to play but we get desync a lot. Here are some of the things we have done to try and remedy this ourselves. Also, to get it out of the way, we have both have very good computers, and we are hardwired.

We have:
Reduced graphics to 5 (we are considering going lower)
Turned off scarring
Match settings are set to normal except for
-Starting resources- High
-Resource Multiplier- High
-Wreck lifetime- Low
-Unit Limit- Normal (We have tried high and low but it made no difference)
Limiting number of races to 4 or lower
We have tried using a VPN (Hamachi) and running it through LAN

Anything you guys can add in would help greatly. So far the longest match was just over 1 hour before a desync(This has only happened 1 time). Usually it is about 10-15 minutes before a desync.

Hi, so are you saying you play matches of 10-15 minutes in MP? Very strange I can play for hours, and yes sometimes I have desync but not so often.
Let me know, all informations can help.

Hi, I have the same problem...every time I play with my friend we have always a desync error and sometimes after 10 min. We play 2 human vs 2 bot with all set on normal, graphics on 6 (medium), modem port open TCP: 7777,28900,28910 - UDP: 7777,27900.
We also try to use Hamachi but nothing change.
It's so frustrating because the mod it's awesome... pls tell us what we can do to play without desynk.

It's not possible to add the possibility to save during a multiplayer match?

Tnx for the help
just spent a whole night pretty much with my buddy, being burned by desync. I'll try turning down graphics etc. damn the taiidan are op, don't change 'em.

Hey everyone. We got burned out trying to play this a while back and we tried again last night. We tried everything... Still no good results.Here is what we tried in addition to what we did before.

-Reduced graphics to 5
-Turned off scarring

Match settings are set to normal except for
-Starting resources- High
-Resource Multiplier- High
-Wreck lifetime- Low
-Unit Limit- Low, Normal, and high.

Limiting number of races to 3

We have tried using a VPN (Hamachi) and running it through LAN as well as using multiplayer.

2v2, 2v1, 2v4, and 2v6 were all tried, and using different races. It could just be timing, but one thing we noticed was the game would desync when he got to level 3 tech with the Kadesh. But that could be entirely coincidence.

Man we want this to work so badly.

Hi, i just got back into this mod and find that im desyncing after 15 min or so as well. This was playing with 2 player vs 2 cpu

15 minutes after playing is when we got desync. We had 1 Turanic AI and 1 Taiidan

So last night we played again, and we had reduce a lot of the graphic settings to get it to be stable. And there may or may not be something wrong with Taiidan. Redu cce your graphic quality a bunch, then step it up. GOOD LUCK.
