Out of sync Crash hack

During the last month there are a lot of players making the game crash with the out os sync crash just when they are about to lose.

At the beginning I thought it was a bug of the game but It always happens just when the game is lost for them and never when Im losing.

Another thing to mention is that almost always this happens against players with chinese characters, so I am starting to think they do it by changing vpn ip on purpose to crash the game, thats just a guest, I dont really know what kind of cheat are they using.

I experienced this also, have reported it to official support with a warning log too, I don’t know how the Dev responded to it? Have Dev aware of it? no clue at the moment, it has been a long while and no update yet at the forum whether they have take note of it?

Usually, this happens for a large team game, when we want to win and the lost player just abusing this bug to crash the game and ends with no result.

  1. crash the mid-game and everyone kicked out from the game and get error “C06T09R09X-01 4D504D6101EA”

when we just want to get the victory we only get => cry when it happened , ruin the fun part.

what civs were in the game? for me it seems like player playing as china forced that, looking for some similarities

We are aware. Best thing to do here is contact support with your warnings.log file. Thanks!

it’s not rocket science, simply abusing the de-sync with obvious (read&write) to memory cheats

i have explained why this De-Sync happens here
