unsynced

[fire_ice]

Hi.

When I try to play an on-line game with TASClient, I have always that red cross under Sync/Bot owner. But when I host game, others have that red cross. Can anyone please help me?

Thanks.

what other reasons for desyncs in lobby do we have? i met some players where ota-content didnt help...

[Forboding Angel]

you have to unzip ota content. Most people just put in in the base folder without unzipping.

Umm, what?

[Forboding Angel]

OTA content (depending on where you got it) is in a zip file which is renamed sdz. Under that zip are sdz's. Most newbies put that zip file in base thinking that that's that, but it doesn't work. The archive must be extracted so that all of the sdz's are present.

Hopefully that made sense...


base\
-sdz
--sdz
--sdz
--sdz

^^ wrong

base\
-sdz
-sdz
-sdz

Oh. Well, the proper version is just otacontent.sdz. Who is packaging it as sdzs within a zip?

[caldera]

there are more .sdz files, so its necessary to zip them.
I hope this is clear now:
