#

my sync file since i saw another thread asking for it

📎 SYNC1.TXT

#

i see no one responded, this is an issue that a lot of people are complaining, we provided the logs from 2 players here

#

solid tapir my sync file since i saw another thread asking for it

Have the sync.txt from other player as well by chance?

#

And sorry for the delay but desyncs are almost impossible to diagnose. I'll take a look anyway though

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:13 AM

#

will ask him right now

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:17 AM

#

Have both from yesterday,

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:19 AM

#

Now there's total of 3 syncX.txt files

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:19 AM

#

not sure what namor18's time

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:19 AM

#

I need two seperate player's syncX.txt from the exact same desync

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:19 AM

#

i will upload from the upload the other sync file just in case

#

📎 SYNC1.TXT

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:20 AM

#

@solid tapir what time is your sync? @regal stream sorry, we did 2 tries and generated two reports

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:21 AM

#

i uploaded the second one just in case

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:21 AM

#

My first one is from 11:42, second one from 10:32

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:22 AM

#

10:32 and 11:42 as well

#

to be more clear the first one i uploaded was the 10:32 and the one i uploaded just now is the 11:42

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:23 AM

#

Can you both just zip the entire snapshot folder and upload here?

#

just to be sure I have everything seperated

#

snapshot folder of the desyncs

#

not entire debug folder**

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:24 AM

#

sure thing, both attempts?

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

Yes please

#

the 10:32 and then followed by 11:42

#

so I can tell them apart easily

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

10:32 has a "extcrashdump.dmp" of 300 mb

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

dry mist 10:32 has a "extcrashdump.dmp" of 300 mb

this is not needed

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

Ok I'll take a look when I can

#

Thank yall both btw ^^

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:37 AM

#

You welcome, we have been under your care for years. And thanks to the cncnet team, we can play this game even when we are far away from each oher.

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:39 AM

#

regal stream Thank yall both btw ^^

thanks to you as well for taking a look at it, we love the game since it came out and now with the cncnet we are grateful to allow us to keep playing this game

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:39 AM

#

Can you each upload your aimd.ini files here?

#

@earnest stream The checksums for ai config are different between both of these two players. One of the gamestates is calculating a soviet dog while the other is a flaktrooper for both games played

#

Then it snowballs

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

sure thing let me locate it

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:45 AM

#

📎 aimd.ini

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

i cant seem to find that file on my end

#

let me check again

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

solid tapir i cant seem to find that file on my end

I hate to have done that, but that's a good thing you can't find it. It's not in the directory by default upon installation.

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 1:58 AM

#

dry mist

Your aimd.ini is heavily modified.

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

I once installed a AI enhancement mod, this was around 2 years ago, stopped using it after cncnet update with the Extreme AI,supossedly, the base files should have been restorted

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:00 AM

#

dry mist I once installed a AI enhancement mod, this was around 2 years ago, stopped usin...

📎 aimd.ini

#

Use mine

#

Move yours somewhere safe if you wanna use it in furture for skirmish and offline only when dealing with the AI 😛

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

no need that old thing, i use the client. that was some vestiges of the past forgotten.

#

Should namor download it as well?

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

should i download it as well

#

?

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

No, it's within a mix file from the games installation

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

ahh ok

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

if you don't have one in the folder you're fine

#

actually after saying that IDK why I uploaded mine haha

#

could just rename the modified one to 1artmd.ini or something

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

oh that makes sense

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

some ini files if placed in the games folder, will override any ini file with the same name if inside one of the game's custom .mix files

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

Alright,

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

we are going to try to play a round now to try

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

room created

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:05 AM

#

You might still get one. This wont be a complete desync fix

#

it might just fix this specific desync from happening

#

they are super hard to diagnose

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:05 AM

#

i understand

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 2:06 AM

#

Well.. maybe that explain why all the AI always ganked on me 🤣

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:06 AM

#

dry mist I once installed a AI enhancement mod, this was around 2 years ago, stopped usin...

I made the extreme AI btw 😛

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 2:07 AM

#

We will do couple of runs and keep you posted of what happens

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

So far the game has not crashed it would have crashed by now but the game is still going, im guessing that ini was the issue

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

How consistent was it before though?

#

Like every game?

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

Yup two tries on a row as you saw

dry mist Feb 19, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

All fine, on my previous tries this week (like 5) had the desync in the first 5 minutes. It seems it was me all along, i apoligise for the inconveniences.

regal stream Feb 19, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

You're good, glad I could help

solid tapir Feb 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

Seems that the issue was the ini file, thanks a lot, we are still playing and we were bored without the game hehe thanks... And btw you did a great job with the extreme ai, tough to beat hehehe
