A problem occurred during a season game with banana on Jebus, at 142 Facebook. There was a desynchronization. I won the battle, and I was left with 17 Vivians and 7 Thunderbirds. I passed the turn, and the transfer froze at 80%. I wrote to my opponent, and he said that he almost killed me and could send a screenshot. Then it turned out that he couldn't take a screenshot because the game crashed. Okay. We decided to replay the battle. We loaded his autosave, I replayed the entire turn, and saved before the battle. We fought again, and there was another desynchronization. The game froze during his Cyclops' turn. I showed him this on TV. The opponent showed me his Heroes screen, and the battle had ended for him, even though both heroes were standing still on the Facebook, and the Heroes screen was darkened (as if the battle hadn't ended, but the window was just hidden). I'm asking for a judgment on what happened in this game. I'm ready to provide the saves, password, and ICQ log (only to the judges and members of the Arbitration Committee). Write to ICQ 451561693.

[off]So what can the AI do about a software bug? Create similar heroes in the editor and have them fight each other.[/off]

Personally, I'm not sure if this is a software bug.

Therefore, take screenshots, especially for Facebook, to prove your point!
Those who don't have a screenshot can just go away...)) And in this case, it seems simpler to award the victory to me.

That's why you should take screenshots, especially on Facebook, to prove your point!

You can take a screenshot at different points during the Facebook battle, and who will believe that the freeze actually happened in the specific place where the screenshot was taken? And if a real desynchronization occurred, there will simply be 2 different screenshots. What's the point?

The point is:
firstly, it shows the progress of the battle (which is why streamers with video recordings will always have an advantage)
secondly, if you prove your words, and your opponent doesn't, it's easier for the judges to make a decision
thirdly, send the saves to Baratortch, maybe he'll find something
***
If it is impossible to continue the game, there is only one way out - awarding the victory, so the judges will be guided by all the materials that the participants provide.

P.S. No, there is another option: disband the troops, etc., and continue the game, but this is a very laborious option, especially if large armies were fighting, and the desynchronization occurred somewhere at the beginning of the battle. There is another important point here! to track at what stage the bug occurred - that's another reason why screenshots are needed

This isn't a bug, but rather a common desynchronization issue. Baratorch won't help here. Most often, each player sees the opponent's turn, but sometimes the battle ends with different results for each player. This can happen due to a poor connection (internet) or different versions of the game.

Dirty, I sent you the save files via ICQ; please take a look and see if you can find anything. It's a bit strange that the desynchronization happened twice in a row. If everything seems normal, then a decision on the winner needs to be made.

I'll look at them tonight or tomorrow morning.

it's strange that the desynchronization happened twice in a row. But if everything is fine, then the victory should be awarded.

There's nothing strange about it. If desynchronization occurred once, it will happen again, and again.

Option 1: Compare the versions of Heroes (ideally, use the same one). Often, someone has a SOD version that is not 3.2, but 3.1 or 3.0.
Option 2: If you are playing through Hamachi, try using TeamViewer (Hamachi can sometimes glitch).

Another option to solve the problem: You can create a game with someone you have a good connection with (ideally, a judge), they launch TeamViewer, and your opponent connects and clicks through the moves using remote control. This option will definitely help, but it's not ideal; we need to find a way to solve the problem.

A person shat all over me in ICQ regarding this situation, and I have no desire to communicate with him further.

It's surprising that I won both battles, even though my main stack skipped its turn without its action being displayed in the battle log. I've never seen anything like this before.

This person insulted me in ICQ regarding this situation, and I no longer want to communicate with him.

Likewise, I regret playing with him.

It's amazing that I won both battles, even though my main stack skipped its turn without showing its action in the battle log. I've never seen anything like this before.

Likewise, I've never had any issues with Pyre; all the games went smoothly.

As for me, I've never had any questions about Pyre; all the games went smoothly.

I, on the other hand, have never had any questions about Pyre; I completed all the games without any problems.

I'm glad for you, but I had a different experience.

I already wrote that it's quite possible that different players will have different battle outcomes due to desynchronization.

Make it a habit: if any disconnection occurs, especially in battle, and even more so in the final, IMMEDIATELY TAKE A SCREENSHOT so you can prove your case if necessary.

banana

I've never seen anything like this before.

Just because you're seeing something for the first time doesn't mean it can't happen; you should IMMEDIATELY contact the judges instead of badmouthing your opponent. (This applies to everyone).

P.S. I'll take a look at the saves, but I don't think it will help.
