Ship location not sync'd correctly

[Disablez]

Hi,

 

we recently launched a pair of test missions with 1.2.3 including naval units, tested both static and moving ones. We shot at some from our A-10s but it seems two of us were seeing them in a location half a mile away of where other clients saw them (so, for those clients, my bullets were hitting water in the location where "i" saw the boats). However, once I set the boat on fire, for them the naval units instawarped to the proper place.

 

This happened in both a A-10C only mission (10 players and 6 players) and a typical test mission with A-10, FC3, BS2, P51 units. Number of extra ground units was around a hundred.

 

Anyone else saw this problem ?

Ships to seem to exhibit some strange behaviour but only for some clients. We saw this briefly during MP testing but only 1 or 2 of the MP clients saw it (the ship was actually moving in the terrain). We are unable to work out why some clients see this behaviour but others are not. We think it might be related to when you joined the server and whether or not mission had already started. More investigation required.

Need still track files for this ship desync issue?

 

Seems that if a client joins later than other clients he will see different position/movement (or no movement) of ships.

Is this acknowledged yet??? It's a big issue in some DOW missions... I imagine it will be a bigger issue with Hormuz
