Sync Problems 0.76b1 / fresh OTA content

Hi all,

I fresh compiled 0.76b1 on an arch linux yesterday.
The game launches normally but I have a sync problems on multiplayer games.

I got my OTA content as said in the doc here http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/SetupGuide#OTA_Content / http://ipxserver.dyndns.org/games/sprin ... ontent.zip

The file dates from 2006 and seems outdated, so I got all the spring/base files from my winXP partition (in which the game runs) and I copied them into both /usr/share/spring/base AND ~/spring/base...

No success, I still got syn problems. I don't really know what to do now, as I KNOW the base files are good, (the game runs in win).

No much answers on the FW for those with latest version and base files updated...

Any idea where to look now/what to try next?

Thanks

alexmic

did you use any non-default compiler flags?
those are known to cause desyncs

What lobby are you using (and are these sync problems in the lobby or in the game)?

I recompiled springlobby and spring with no option whatsoever (had to symlink some things after that, which is a bit dirty)

But it worked eventually !

The sync problems were ingame, but the springlobby was not uptodate... I don't think the lobby is the cause, but yet i don't see options like "prefix=/usr bindir=bin datadir=share/spring" as a problem either.

So weird, but fixed !
Thanx for your answers :)
