Desync Problem

N1ghthawk · Apr 16, 2010

My map causes players to desync when using Ghost (i'm not quite sure if it happens on B-net and such too but I don't think it would make a difference).

From what I understand, this occurs when one player's data differs from that which other players have and they are automatically dropped because of it.

The players who reported the problem said it happened almost as soon as the map began, which tells me it is most likely in one of the following triggers:

Put the map on battle.net and test it there.

risk_fan2 · Apr 16, 2010

on a first glance i noticed that you use "normal" waits. this can cause desync because this wait uses real time seconds that may differ from player to player; also, it can cause problems at the beginning of the game while waiting for lagging players.

use game time waits instead, those are safe.
