Very interesting article from one of the Sins of a Solar Empire developers about why RTS games suffer from sync errors: http://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?aid=331090

Very Interesting Text, thanks Kolath.

I read it in Programming class, now we learned once more; Restart restart!

Kinda like that one time in Hearts of Iron 2 where my nation desynced, on my screen it was doing fine but on everyone else's it had 65% dissent and was falling apart  .

I think the author's example of the one desync bug that depended on a whole bunch of really rare situations is probably similar to the random CoH desyncs for no reason.

You wonder if relic approach things the same way. Or they don't care and expect the community to live with it.

Oh, they care; the beta is at least 5 times more stable than vCoH with net code.
