Desync issues : what other possible causes ?

[Ricola3D]

Hello,

I'm making a map and I had many desync issues. So I did the following :
- Remove all "GetLocalPlayer" calls
- Remove as many "Player Slot Statut" comparisons as possible
- Stop using Widgetizer+Optimizer to protect my map. Now I only use Vexorian's optimizer.

It improved much, however I still have a few desync sometimes on Bnet.


Does someone have any idea of other known desync causes ?
Maybe a infinite loop somewhere in my triggers ?

1st reason : untested wc3 patches with unknown issues
2nd reason : something actually caused by you.
Just wait for Reforged 4Head

Since I am editing the map with WE 1.30.4 and most players use Warcraft III 1.31.1 it may be patch issues.
But let's imagine I am in the 2nd case. Do you have an idea of potential reasons ? Some functions I should avoid to use ?
I know for example there is terrain deformation & height check, but I don't use it ^^

Also, if there is an infinite loop (trigger calling itself, etc...), shouldn't the player lagg before being desync ? Also will the player's gamecrash or only desync and return to Bnet home page ?

crash means something rly bad, desync just finishes the current game, they belong to different clans

My map has desync issues too but also wc3 crashes when you quit the game. E p i c .

@Ricola3D do you alter constants? Which ones? I heard creep related constant are possible causes.
Do you familiar with Fixing SmartCameraPanBJ Desync? Might be possible issue as well.

The best way is to find a pattern or specific state causing desync. This helps narrowing down the source of the error.

Thanks buddy ! I don't use the "Pan Camera As Necessary" function. About game constants, some are modified in the constants editor. But I think it is the very same than Sogat in the previous map version, that didn't desync.

About late idea, I'll try to see if I can narrow a scenario, but it is hard since it is multiplayer game on Bnet ^^

I think new version of War3 allows you to open multiple instances of game, so you can test it with a LAN game.
