I was playing in a 1 vs 1 match with a friend on the map HighGround via
wireless LAN. We first noticed a problem when one of his trucks quit
responding to his commands. Later, I sent an attack force of cyborgs into
his base and then retreated them back to my base to repair. However, on my
friend's PC, the units stayed behind and destroyed his base. We looked at
each others' screens to verify. My ghost army was destroying his base and
buildings would randomly blow up from his base on my PC even though I had
no units there. When I finally did send my force back in, his PC
registered both the "ghost" units and the attacking force (which were
supposed to be the exact same units). Also, the ghost units appeared to be
indestructable despite the fact that they were still able to do damage.
Additionally, on my PC, some of his units persued my retreating force and
were destroyed, while those same units on his PC randomly blew up from
within his base. It was as if two battles were being faught with the same
units and on the same map, a parallel dimension. The point of
differentiation could have been anywhere. If I can find the point of
differentiation it would help this investigation a great deal and maybe
put an end to this bug. Both PCs were running Windows XP SP3, and both
were running v2.2.4 of the game. No mods were in use. There was no network
lag.
