On the one hand this can be ignored because the server performs the actual sync-checking during live games and these messages are only intended to find desyncing demos, but clients do not check if they are playing a "real" game or just a demo when logging them. On the other hand a client should never detect a desync if the server did not also, so it would be interesting to reproduce.

are two demofiles of a desync enough?

I think this has to be done "live" because it involves AI's in multiplayer.

yep, you're right. seems to only happen with ai's in multiplayer.

E323AI seems to cause the issue every time at the validation-test...
