Hi everyone,

So far every game of AOM T I've tried online with Voobly has resulted in an Out-of-Sync error. I am not sure when or why they happen. I have the feeling they could be related to the use of (certain) god powers but I'm not sure. I haven't been able to complete a single game because of this. Hope anyone knows how to solve this. I am using a mod (Ippert), but it also happened without the mod.

Hi J0pa,

Thank you for contacting us and I'm sorry to hear you have this problem. Sync errors are caused by a mismatch in in-game events, for example when the Tornado drains HP from a building faster on one computer than on the other. When all players have a legal game, the chances of an out of sync happening are very small. The out of sync issues the original game had, have since been patched. The reason your games went out of sync is probably that others where playing with pirated copies.

Sometimes sync errors are maliciously caused by players themselves. These sync errors we can track and diagnose, but not without a report on the game-complaints forum. Also, our Anti-Cheat blocks most of these attempts these days.

Hi miko,

By now I have tried over 10 games and only one did go through (not Zeus bolting). I do not believe so many other players are using pirated versions so I'm guessing something is wrong with mine. I have reinstalled thrice with the whole sequence of steam into compatibility, 1.03 etc. After the normal steps, I always get some problems which I have managed to remove by adding files from previous threads on this forum (folders with gfxconfig2, zip folders with compatibility patches files etc etc). Maybe these files cause problems idk. Anyway, I think its enough for me and I'll stick to EE. I hope Retold can unite the communities.

All the best

Hi J0pa,

I'm sorry to hear you're leaving Voobly. To be completely honest, the majority of the community is using a pirated version as the installer from the original CD won't run on newer versions of Windows. The files from the compatibility patch originate from a clean installation done with the original CD. The patch has been carefully tested by multiple players and members of staff until all issues were solved.

Hi Jopa if you're still around I had the same problem when I first started Voobly, it's 100% due to the fact that you're using the compatability patch for EE. You need to install the OG AOM for you to get rid of the out of sync issues, if you're still around dm me and I'll walk you through it!

If you own EE on Steam you can install the compatibility patch in order to play on Voobly.
