sync errors every game

[lucido]

I'm getting sync errors every game, they appear later if I only spec.
This stared happening after I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 from ubuntu 9.10. I deleted the spring forder and purged the springlobby and spring-engine packages then reinstalled them, it didn't fix the problem. I'm using athlon 64 3200+, 2G of ddr ram and an nvidia geforce 9500 gt card.

please post an infolog.txt of such a game (attach as file or use pastebin.com or similar).

some AIs (E323AI, RAI) are known to cause desyncs. in the past we also had desyncs because of different compiler versions used to compile spring, and as Ubuntu 10 is still new, this could be it, in theory, though the chance is low for this to be it.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

There were no AI players present. Here's the infolog: http://pastebin.com/0XsRJYJT

hmm.. :/
strange thing is, that you have spring version 0.81.2.0.
that should be ok to play online (many others in the game had it too), but 0.81.2.1 came out months before Ubuntu 10.
anyway, what you can do is, trying to compile spring release version yourself, waiting for a newer package.

I will build a new deb package. Where can I find the 0.81.2.1 -> 0.81.2.1 patch for the source?

[hoijui]

you can get the latest source at this site, under Download (above) as tarball.
or through git.
we do not work with patches for source repositories; do not have them.

[lucido]

I extracted the new sources on top of the ubuntu source and compiled it. I'm not getting sync errors anymore.

nice! :D
well done!

Spoke too soon, sync errors are back: http://pastebin.com/5mCi9Vu4

when you have your self compiled spring under /home/chris/spring/, then /usr/games/ and /usr/share/games/spring/ should not be used as data-dirs by spring, but your infolog shows they are enlisted.
chances for this being the problem are not too big, but it should be fixed anyway.
you may have them set in /home/chris/.springrc, or in /etc/spring/datadir. they should not be in there, just remove them from there.

I found the problem I had. The cpu was overclocked and was making claculation errors, found out by running prime95 stress test. Adjusted the bios setting and the sync errors dissapeared.

wow :D
ok.. thanks for the info, and nice you solved it!
