I know this is an outdated question based on a game that was prolly left out, but I was thinking on some projects here and, knowing the answer to this question could really help me out. I was looking like to know the origins of desync in multiplayer matches and what are some potential ways to solve it. Among speeding up our own internet connection, was there/could be another way around for it?

Also, is Endless Space 2 Server Hosting good for a large number of players? Just asking... 

I was always wondering what causes desync... Is there something that causes it, and something we can do to solve it? Thanks... =) 

Hello? Can anyone answer what's the cause of Desync on multiplayer games on G2G? General overview, please?

I need to understand it more, on it's general causes... 

Wow! my post got upvoted by an influential user! How cool!

I'm starting to feeling proud now! :D *-* ♥

You can cope

I hate to say it, but if anyone knows, it's Amplitude, and I think they don't care to fix it. Just make sure to back up your games often.

Interesting. Only they do now what's the real cause of desync in multiplayer matches? I thought the community here knew/know of it already... Maybe I wasn't entierly wrong when I saw that I didn't knew the cause for that...?

Knowing the cause, the actual cause of it, could help me come up with a directive plan to solve it, but for it first we must know it's cause. Otherwise no-go, how can I fix/plot a fix and a plan for something If I don't know even how it works, or what is it's cause?

Oh gosh...

Hope can someone tell me, either... 

I haven't played for that long but I know some things that cause desyncs.

*A player changing anything while a new turn loads

*Double clicking things (some things can activate doubles, see mining probes)

*switching windows while loading a new turn or a big battle starting

And some things that increase the risk of desyncs:

*A player changing anything after they pressed end turn

*Big battles, just any that freeze up the game
*Diplomacy between players that have ended their turn

*Playing umbral choir
*Finishing a hack on another player

Also, unstable network. Any packet loss can cause a desync. So beware of VPN services
