you don't need to go through the whole data to find the last synced point. you can track this on the fly. this is nothing difficult. believe it or not.

anyway, it's the developers duty to do this or not. just a suggestion of a very simple thing to do.

Resyncing can be done its just a lot of work. First pause the game then do a majority poll on all gamestate variables to filter out which client messed up then resync it with the other players. Ongoing changes like a half executed attack are simply reset and everything put back into the solid state position and the game continues from there on. Basically it would seem like a hiccup and maybe a tower would respawn or a unit position reset/warp. But it would be way better then ending the game.

But i would already be happy if they would just kick the desynced player and let the others finish the game to avoid desyncs that are done on purpose by a ragequitting cheater that just wants to screw you out of your victory.

And gamestate data surely isnt that huge. I mean lets assume every unit/tower/building has 1 kilobyte state data wich is huge and in reality is probably much less than that then even a thousand units would just be 1 Megabyte.

Lost two games to this now.

Strangely enough, it may just be coincidence, but I was playing against the same guy on the losing team. He had whinged the game before that we were a premade, although not, in both games once the game was beyond recovery, it desync'd.

I wonder if this can be abused? Possibly ALT-TAB out and change something in use?

Just had a game on the brothers.  The host was purgespam.  We got the desync message and it closed.  Stats are crazy though.  http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/851048/player/28414/

BlackWindowSPDR somehow gets a win... wonder if we can get any clarification on how the desync coding is supposed to work... in that game, it acted like the host disconnect exploit, but widow wasn't the host.  In the only other game I have had desync, no results were reported at all... I'm wondering if the fix to the host disconnect exploit was to assign 1 other player the same stat reporting rights of the host... then if both the host and this other person drop, then perhaps the desync message appears?  No idea, but am trying to makes some sense of a nonhost reporting like they pulled the host disconnect exploit. 

Pacov i had a similar game where i was hosting and two guys started arguing with a teammate and rage quit, the game went on for another 5 mins before the last guy quit by concede... I did not have a critical game state message, although one did happen the next match.

Heres the game: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/871912/player/62759/

It was 4 minutes into the game, I just got the first kill on a 3k+ hp UB and then... I lost internet connection (ISP's fault). Later on I checked the stats and the game was not recorded, so I suspect a desync. I am not 100% sure that I triggered it because I did not see the 'Invalid gamestate' message, so it could have happened later. I was playing Dark in a 3v3 Cataract game vs Frogboy and Tukulis. If you see this, can you confirm that this is what happened?

If it was me, it would suggest that desyncs can be triggered by removing the network cable from the socket or turning off the wireless network adapter. This is not linked to you being the host or on the Light team (I saw some Dark non-host players repeatedly do this before). I hope that this will help the developers find a solution to this problem.

Can you tell me where do I find the log of this game (it was my last one so it will still be there)?

I have expierienced this "Invalid gamestate" error a fustrating number of times as well. Almost always as I'm about to win (making it particularly frustrating). I think it's notable that here as well as other threads, it has been mentioned that it happes just as one side is "controlling the map." While this may not be universal, and I am not ruling out an intentional cause (ie someone desynching to avoid a loss), is it possible that there is something wrong in the communication between players at the "**** side is controlling the map" message? It would explain why it happens so often at a near victory. It is also possible that other issues can cause a desync thus creating other variant times and causes for an error, not matching all the above criteria. While it may not be possible to completely eliminate such a problem, at least the major causes need to be addressed ASAP. I tend to agree that a hot fix is in order...

true. but it does need to be addressed, preferably swiftly.

Any update on this?
