This seems to always happen as im about win. I get a sync error and most of the time, i get a defeat. What is this, a sync-hack? For fuck sake, this is frustrating as hell

This just happened to me. I'm winning a game against the team I've been matched against all night in 2v2. The game is in the bag. The first armor they can finally scrape up the fuel for is dead. The blobs are being punished by the M8's. AND BAM! Sync error detected. It showed the defeat screen for a minute and then crashed to the desktop. WTF.

Some people say this is some kind of cheat. This happens when some certain values (like MP or MUNI) do not match between player and server. Every time I get this error, the game crashes.

Seems it disappeared a bit recently but has been happening a lot more often since last patch.

Guys like:

"easybaz2pwn" or something like that should get named and shamed for doing this each time they tend to loose a game.

as far as I understand it, if the game files are changed while the game is in progress it will do this, so it's very very easy to cause sync-errors. The question is, who will the win be awarded to?

and more and more and more and more.

apparently it is exploitable and relic can't tell who does the deed when it happens in a match. so just have a good trust rating, aka dont rage quit, sync error yourself. although my team has never done those and we got like 20 sync errored and lost all 20 them ffs.

Relic should be able to tell in an automated way pretty damned easy. As I understand it the replay goes around to each player in a round robin style. The sync error is going to occur at some point in that round robin. The person with the token before the error is detected should be considered the culprit. This could also be recorded in the player database with an invisible mark. Players with a lot of these marks can then have their games investigated for cheating or tech support action ( :foreveralone: )

Over 80% of my okw losses so far were sync errors. It's a bit ridiculous when you say it like that.

Had a big spree of them earlier this week too.

well it seems like my "defeat" somehow turned into a "win". I am surprised it is happening to a lot more folks. It is quite annoying, because the game crashes after the sync-error.

I am fairly certain that there are sync hackers in the game now. I hope relic can look into this issue. a recent forum member exposed a sync hacking clan

I had it happen to me in a 2v2 earlier. Fortunately, I got the victory.

It was definitely suspicious, as it occurred after the opposing team had just lost a couple of high value tanks, and a lot of their infantry when it had been a 50/50 game up till then.

Coincidence? *shrug*
