Snyc:
I know this was also an issue in old TA but would it be possible to let the other players wait if there is a delayed snyc? It is really annoying if you realize after 1 hour gaming that every player is in a "different" game. Like:

A: Hey i have destroyed your base
B: No, i am just destroying your base

Crash Bug:
Sometimes when i press shift key the game crashes, i had this 2 times now.

That sounds like you 2 are playing with a diferent pack of units...

Are you sure you both were using the same units set? Similar things have happened...

LOL, I remember a 3 hours game at homeworld with 4 players...all of us win :)

I agree, when the game detect you desync, it should wait like in star/war Craft. If the player take too long to be sync, you can kick him.

It's not just caused by different units. High lag/packetloss will also cause it.

It happens to me as well, sometimes even with playing on broadband with a guy just down the street at 40 ping. Maybe when the game goes out of sync the server can save a script and restart the game so everyone is on the same page again.
