Bug Description

Tried multiplayer LAN with a friend on a MacOS and a Windows (both on the same Beta 17 compatible version). After a few minutes of game play without any issues, synchronization error pops up and the game ends.

Tried both Network Area and Direct Connect connecting both devices to the same WiFi, happened on both.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a Network Area game (or Direct Connect) on Windows or MacOS
2. Join the game with the other device (connected on the same Wifi network)
3. After a few minutes of game play, the synchronization error pops up and the game stops.

GeneralsX records desync logs for investigation.

Could you please follow this instructions and provide the logs? Thanks.

I’m not sure if Windows builds generate desync logs. I’ll confirm when I have time.
