happened to me as well. the out of sync in the replay happens exactly when in the game i placed a house over an enemy lubercamp (that i hadnt scouted).

AbruptTarsier10 · January 31, 2021, 12:52am

Same issue happening with me with the attached rec (played today.) Also on the same build version, steam, and Windows 10. For me the desync occurs at 33:11 in-game time. I watched it once successfully (the second time I tried) but the other 3 times it desynced at the above time. I got a similar message to the original poster.

Relating to what @BubblyMango3400 said, in that game red was trying to place a forward castle on blue, which was blocked by buildings of blue that red hadn’t scouted yet, so that’s a possible angle of investigation.desync3311.aoe2record (3.5 MB)

Yep happened to me too. Almost every game I watch either out of sync or just crashes to the desktop.

Disgruntoad · January 31, 2021, 8:44am

This has happened in many of my replays as well. It has only happened since the update right before the expansion.

thieftdp8498 · January 31, 2021, 9:17am

im getting the issue as well.

scihantek · January 31, 2021, 7:29pm

Same here. I haven’t been able to finish the replay of any one of my online games I played after the patch.

FoughtBird1976 · January 31, 2021, 8:59pm

Looking at the screenshot you have destroyed the essence of the game with mods, where is the terrain for god’s sake?

GiantLancelot99 · February 1, 2021, 4:36pm

As AbruptTarsier10 already said, the replay game crashes when someone tries to place a building on a spot that is already occupied by another building. This happens if the area was scouted, but in the meantime the enemy is already building there.

Replay crashes at 32:01 ingame time

This is one of the issues I faced as well. I thought I was the only one.

OutlaWoftOrN · February 2, 2021, 8:10am

Can confirm this happens in both replays and spectate mode.

fwdobama · February 2, 2021, 8:01pm

Another upload with the same issue.

Multiplayer match against AI (about 1 hr long). When I load the replay to watch, it stops suddenly about 13 min into the replay. Quit game and relaunched. Replayed the same match and was able to watch a little longer. Replay stopped around 34 min. Each time, got the same message: “Out of sync replaying game. This is usually caused by incompatible game version or data being used. Replaying stopped.” This happened after the latest update. Have not experienced it before.

Try replaying any match and see if you can view the entire match from start to finish.!

GAME BUILD #: Version 101.101.43210.0 5867313 (the november hotfix build)
GAME PLATFORM: Steam
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10 Pro 64bit, latest update

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Watching the recorded game of Gajah Mada mission 2 desyncs the recorded game at 3:15 every time you try to watch it, making you unable to progressing watching the recorded game further, giving you the error message:

“Out of sync replaying game. This is usually caused by incompatible game version or data being used. Replaying stopped. worldtime: 194821”.

The error message shown doesn’t make sense because I am using the latest version of the game, and not using any data mods.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

steps to reproduce the issue:

Play Gajah Mada Mission 2, stay in the game for at least 3 and a half minutes
Resign, watch recorded game
Recorded game suddenly desyncs at 3:15 with the message “Out of sync replaying game. This is usually caused by incompatible game version or data being used. Replaying stopped. worldtime: 194821”.

EXPECTED RESULT

Play Gajah Mada Mission 2, stay in the game for at least 3 and a half minutes
Resign, watch recorded game
Recorded game succesfully watched to finish without desync

We had the exact same problem about 3 times yesterday while trying to rewatch a recorded game for a stream (showmatch). It broke three times on different timestamps, always with the same message like shown in the post above (different worldtimes though).
It obviously happened after the january patch and the respective hotfix (lithuanian relic fix etc.).

I hope this helps, if someone has already posted this, feel free to delete my post. Thank you.

GAME INFORMATION

I was having FFA community games and the games went out of sync 3 of them in a row (some more last week) so we decided to see what could be the reason and (apparently) we found it.

GAME BUILD #:
101.101.44834.0 6148570
GAME PLATFORM:
Steam
OPERATING SYSTEM:
Windows 10

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Usually this happens in FFA games and in 2v2v2v2 because in team games or 1v1s this situations are not usual, when you (Player A) is trying to escape to find a new base and you place foundations of something in a place that already has the LOS of Player B’s unit (not building) and Player B gets to see the “dust” of the building, the game goes OOS.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS) when this happens

REPRODUCTION STEPS

^{List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!}

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

Play multiplayer FFA, 2v2v2, Diplomacy or other kind of non-common game settings with at least 3 teams present
Explore the map (or use explored)
Build something in an already explored area where an opponent has LOS of a UNIT (after at least some time into the game, not inmediately and the opponent has to have particles on apparently to see the “dust”)
OOS

EXPECTED RESULT

No OOS

VIDEO OF HOW WE FOUND THE PROBLEM

Desync moments (just look at this timelines, I was not able to cut the everything)

Game 1: 6:19
Game 2: 10:58
Game 3: 24:34
