Debugging sync

Post by malric »

Is the sync debug build available somewhere for each release (http://springrts.com/wiki/Debugging_sync_errors) ?

I have checked http://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/defaul ... 4.1/win32/ but it is not clear if _dbg includes sync debug or not.

I ask because we were trying to provide more info for http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=3809

no, release builds don't have desync debugging abilities. also your desync seems to come from a stale pathing cache.

spring 95.0 (and later) uses a dedicated cache folder for each release, so this shouldn't happen any more...

see the line
[f=0000000] Warning: [DESYNC WARNING] path-checksum 07450bd8 for player 0 (malric) does not match local checksum b451076e; stale PathEstimator-cache?
in infolog.txt. did you modify this map and had an invalid path cache because of that?

Great! Thanks for explaining.

The map was newly downloaded from spring files. I do not modify maps. So, no clue how the invalid path cache appeared in the first place.
