How much server desync is "normal"?

[topaz flicker]

Just testing some dedicated server stuff atm. Playing with someone, a decent amount of zombies they kill just disappear. They turn into lootable corpses for them, but not for me. Just wondering if that's normal or not

Not normal.

Who is host?

What is the ping difference between both players?

[pine frost]

Does the Ping difference affect the likelyhood of de sync?

[barren current]

that + server stability

[pine frost]

Server stability? Like Mod Errors?

[barren current]

In the sense of hardware capabilities

[pine frost]

I see

Hopefully this can help others help cut down on de sync

Like Network and Ram?

[barren current]

if you're frequently running out of RAM or having the CPU on max strain it can affect sync between players and also cause a bunch of other errors like disappearing zombies or teleporting zombies

network card aswell but that shouldn't be an issue most of the time

also port forwarding can help with network issues if not done already

VPN can cause desync too.
