DESYNC - How to help Zanz fix it!

[jmizzle7]

In order to find the source of desync issues in PvP, it's important that we gather specific information about the events surrounding specific desync events. In order to accomplish this, rules must be set. From now on, please include the following when reporting a desync:

Your decklistA screenshot immediately after the desyncAs detailed description as possible of the sequence of actions taken during your turn before the game became out of sync - exact order is preferred

I actually forgot you posted this. Will do next time. Pretty sure Drawing multiple cards in a round with with HG and SD causes desync. Will SS next time around.

I seldom see desyncs in pvp, maybe like once every 20-30 games but ever since I saw this thread I've been watching for it.  This leads me to believe that the problem isn't coming from the cards in my deck.  I was basically playing the same mono fire as I posted here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,989.0.html). 

At first I was not sure it was a desync because the other dude played a vamp dagger and defraged my tower, and then played the exact same thing the next turn.  I blew up the 1st dagger and the 2nd one eventually dissappeared.  By the time he played a -10/5 Bone Dragon I was quite sure... never had a desync that healed me back up to full life before.  : )


Edit:  Here is another desync with me playing against upgraded Tremors deck.  The game showed the other dude playing 5x towers and protect artifact 3 turns in a row, as well as dissappearing/reappearing elite shriekers.  Luckily they dissapeared enough that I won.  : )



Both desync have been against an opponent with cards that use an activated ability... coincidence?

It happens when the messages sent over the internet don't get through. I can force it to happen easily.

after that i quit the game.
The screens are in order, round after round.
In round 3 or 4 (4th picture) i copied a devourer with twin universe, after that i just discarded/ played a sundial, as shown in the screens, as I did before copying the devourer.
My opponent appered to open with a couple (2?3?) of darkness pillars, which disappeared after the first round, instead the devourer popped up.
First i thought, I encountered a cheater, since the desync bug appears to be fixed with 1.21, but thats for u devs to decide.

cheers, Muellje.

My deck was standard mono aether:

Code: [Select]

808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 80a 80a 80c 80c 80c 80d 80d 80d 80d 80d 80d 80e 80f 80f 80f 80f 80fThe original opponent had an entropy mark. I went first and played towers. I didn't play them the second the turn began, but I did play them in rapid succession. The opposing deck switched to a fire mono after I ended my turn (when I was updated on the opponent's actions).

I made the first screenshot one turn after it happened (my third turn), but it should be easy to deduce what each player had played on each turn up to that point.

I then made a screenshot on each of the turns following another deck switch. Sorry if the pictures look a bit pixelated - it didn't occur to me to switch graphics back to high quality until the match was nearly over.

Ok a few turns in i noticed his mark and stuff change, so after that i screenshotted and then 2 turns later it changes again, these bugs are getting annoying.

Rainbowdeck playing against Mono-Aether. On some round my elf has mutated some firefly to a green frog creature with hatch. This hatched into the destroy Deja Vu. Then my opponent was playing a phase dragon without playing the card (so maybe thats because he has 7 on the field) and in my turn, when I was using my elf, I get exactly the same hatch-frog and then exactly the same destroy Deja Vu.

Also he played invincible Phase Shields.

Interesting desync just happened. Unfortunately I didn't think to take screenshots. There was either a lull in the hordes of PvPers or I got lucky, but I got to play the same opponent twice in a row. The lucky part is my deck totally owns his.

The first game was normal, no desync, I was playing blessed vampires and had 3 of them out at the end. He didn't play any creatures. Second game started normally for me but he asked me why I cheated and had 3 vampires out first turn. Later on the game was classic desync, his messages recycled and his chysaora kept popping in and out of existence, I think it was switching between his old deck and his new deck for me and switching between my old deck and my new deck for him. Thankfully, in both alternate realities, I was winning.

 ETA: My deck, if it helps. He had death/water: chysaoras with freeze and plague, a pretty standard poison deck I think.
