Multiple Desync Errors

[Shakril]

We are a MP round and have massive roblems with desyncs.
After some days/months in a game someone always gets a desync

We tried multiple things:

- different hosts
- different combination of players
- lower gamepace
- fresh new game
- reinstalling the patches
- pinged different players if they can be reached
- 2 of the players, play a different mp on a different day without any problems!

result:

some players dont have problems to each others
the desync error seems to jump from one player to another
same players who did not have a desync to each other suddenly have a desync
different hosts did not resolve the problem
even if players with desync where excluded, desync appeared

I need some usefull suggestions what we could do to solve this desync Mess.

For a start, no player can play a horde (steppe nomad) power, that will always cause OOS issues.

Aside from that, make sure all players join the game before the host selects the game to be played.

Noone played a horde and we waited for all players. It has to be some bigger technical problem with the connection.

OK, try having everyone manually delete the entire contents of their EU3 /map/cache/ directories; then run the game up, exit, and run up again to make sure the checksum is now right.

If that doesn't help I'm not aware of anything else in the game itself that might help. Say you split your players into two equal groups that play separate games of EU3, do both groups get this problem?
