Multiplayer Sync Error - reproducible

[mrgenie]

The saved game file is on the google drive, link at the bottom.

And below I outline the steps

Do NOT press play, until all steps in the list have been completed

• load the saved game on the host
• join with a client
• host selects Guangdong
• Client selects Norway
• Guangdong player gives all possible technology (not units) to Sumatra
• Guangdong player gives all possible technology (not units) to East Indies
• Guangdong player gives all possible technology (not units) to Australia

Now you can press play.
Upon the next day - all three of them accept the transfer of technologies
at the end of that day - when going to the next day - the Sync error happens.

This is reproducible.

We hunted for this moment - because we already noticed that Sync Error happened always 1 or 2 days after sharing Technologies

Good luck to the Programmer to find the bug and finally fix this Sync error which has been plaguing us for years already.

Note - this is with an own-made no published mod - I can share all those files too if needed.. but I think just loading the saved game file should do right?

Update:

We isolated the cause of the Sync Error to giving "Integrated Circuits" to "Sumatra"

Giving it to another player, like Atlantic US - doesn't create the Sync.

giving other techs also doesn't create the Sync.

Giving it a few days later to Sumatra also doesn't create the Sync error.

You really gotta give it exactly that day to Sumatra - then it's reproducible

Update:

After waiting a few days and then giving the Integrated Circuits - doesn't cause the Sync Error.

BUT - after waiting another few days - Guangdong can give more Tech to Sumatra - and THEN giving all remaining Tech - causes again a sync error (we'll do some more if this is again caused by one of the newly techs that can be shared)

[mrgenie]

Note - if we don't share technology at this stage in the game - there's no sync error... happens only after sharing tech

[mrgenie]

after playing many hours - without sharing tech - no sync errors..

so it really indicates it's about sharing technologies

ticket 32065 started to investigate this.

I forgot to ask previously, was this using any mods?
