[Possibly Fixed]Still cannot finish a game in multiplayer (sync) Anyone else?

I am posting this to ask the community if anyone else has had the same experience "specifically" relating to my sync problem.  Ok here goes......my bro and I play as much as possible since obviously we love the game and the expansion but, we simply can not finish a single game as at some point tween hour and half to 4 hours we lose sync. We play on Icon online and use alloy. This happens so far eveytime (we have finished 2 games desynced ,one took total 7 hours(2 hrs played with desync) other only another 30mins after sync loss)

Now the 7 hours was because at round the 5 hour mark it desynced but we were having fun so we decided to conquer all planets of eachothers that we had not alrdy taken ourselves....Yep thats right....we both went different paths at the start of the game therefor we both had to go kill all the enemies that should have alrdy been dead.

  Sheesh... he finished bout 40 mins before me.....The other game we chose to move towards eachother in the start so that if we desynced it would not matter as much provided we moved together and double fortified eachothers fronts.  IT desynced just before we were going for their throat and so we just decided to finish it ...bout 30 mins or so and we got VICTORY......man what a feeling..... YEE FREEEKIN HAW..... only thing better would have been to get to use the top level tech.. like novalith cannon, er better still to have been able to use it in some strategic capacity.

What we have done to try to eliminate some variables is this; removed our routers and play straight through modems...new internet cables....I have hosted every game through ico personally.....send devs the checksum data folder and game saves..Play really small maps with few or only one opponent...game has to finish in under hour an half to have a chance at no sync loss.

What are we going to try next?...well Mvon is going to host the next game to see if it desyncs with him hosting....we will continue to send sync error data to devs, but if anyone else has any other suggestions that may be hlpful we would both love to hear from ya.  I truly want to play the multiplayer part of Sins as much as I have played various other MP games.....like Age of Empires 3/Command and Conquer 3/warcraft 3 which he and I have played hundreds of hours and STILL do.  I do understand that those companies that made those games likely have drastically more money to invest as well more employees however, IMHO those games do not hold a candle to Sins...... period.  So that is why it so important to fix the Multiplayer issues in Sins......it could be the best MP game out there were it stable. 

Soooo I am going to tell Mvon to host a game now.. and all I got left for ideas is if it desyncs....I shall try to play a few MP games with others online.. to see if/when those games desync.. perhaps it is a prob tween me an mvon somehow...do not know.

Oh and one more thing we have started from a save and the game desynced same time 3 restarts in a row....anyone else?

My buddy and teammate are still running into the exact same sync problem every single game we play (even after Beta 2.5, etc.). Just last night we had it happen around the one hour thirty minute mark in gameplay.

"Tac, they're attacking your planet! Yellow just jumped in with a huge fleet!", Yells Dragon over Vent.

I respond with, what are you talking about... there's not a single enemy ship in ANY of my gravity wells.

Dragon retorts, "They just took out your starbase and defenses and are bombing your planet; it's about to go!"

I sigh in defeat as we realize the sync issue that's plagued us through the entire Entrenchment beta remains. It remains...

Just quit out Dragon, it's over bro.

- Patiently waiting for a miraculous fix! -

Sincerely,

Tac

Blair,

I just read your post on the Sync issue and wanted to bring this to your attention (feeling bad if I'm being a wet blanket or the bearer of bad news):

My friend Dragon and I are able to recreate sync problems every game we play and we'll help track this down if needed, but anywho...

We didn't have a single Marza fielded in our game. I was TEC, he was Advent and the two Hard AI players were Vasari/Advent. We still had a desync after about the 1:30 mark...

Hope this helps...

Currently, advent homing mines and the Vasari Subversion ability crash the game -- this is due to be fixed 'soon'.
