The
EA Support forums (thanks
Ant and
Command and Conquer DEN) have an update on problems owners of the new
Kane's Wrath expansion for
Command & Conquer 3 are experiencing in
online play, as the RTS add-on doesn't always know whether to desync or swim:
Alright, we fully understand the severity of this issue and have our
development team all over it trying to figure out what is causing the rampant
desyncs some of you may be experiencing. Please understand that tracking down a
desync is incredibly challenging.
Since early last week we have been working with the mods and others internally
via replays, any substantial data evidence, our customer support department, the
technical forums, everything you can imagine to try and repro the desyncs from
what people are saying.
We have some very good leads now on what it may be and as soon as I know we have
an internal fix in place, i'll let you guys know what the plan to patch will be.
Please understand, we have all hands on deck trying to assess the situation. Any
exact evidence you may be able to provide or links to replays would be very
helpful as always.
We know if people are using any kind of hacks or trainers, that can desync the
game, but we agree that is likely not the main culprit here. So, if you have any
exact evidence as to when the game desyncs for you, please feel free to keep
providing.
We know about the apparent "8 second" mark and are looking to see if there is
any connection there as well.
Overall, we are fully on this and working hard to figure out what is going on.
Please do keep enjoying playing Kane's Wrath online, this issue can certainly be
avoided in most games, but we understand its severity.
More soon
