The strength of any structure can be completely full for one player and
nearly gone for another. Here's the setup I had:
2 players in a Multiplayer game:
1 = 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 desktop
2 = 32bit WindowsXP laptop
Player 1 is attacking a structure OUT of radar view with VTOLS. Each time
they strike the structure's strength drops quite a bit. Then the problem:
Player 2's cyborgs start repairing the structure on his screen, but Player
1 can't see that happening, and the cyborgs don't move at all on Player1's
screen. As this cycle repeats Player1 will eventually see the structure
near 0 and Player2 still sees it full strength. One more strike from
Player1 and both players see it destroyed. From Player2's point of view a
very strong full strength structure was just destroyed by one weak shot
from a VTOL.
This only seems to happen when the nearby cyborgs start repairing the
structure AUTOMATICALLY and Player1 can't see it (out of view of any units
or radar). If Player2 orders them to repair it, Player1's computer will
also see it being repaired even though it's still out of view.
