I'm playing the 1.27 PTW patch with a 2 human player, 5 computer player (Russia has been eliminated) game.

I try to bomb an enemy city and we get an out of synch error.
We reload the game, I've tried bombing a different city, at a different point in my turn, with a different bomber, using auto bomb instead of bomb. They all generate the error.

Anyone else run into this? I suppose I could not use bombers, but what's the point?

A few people have now reported this bug on 'poly as well. Damn! I was looking forward to a 3 player LAN game this weekend using 1.27, but I think that this is a fairly annoying bug. I hope Firaxis notices these bug reports:undecide:

Looks like same bug here.
We play on LAN, 2 human, 5 robots (Egyptian returned in front of Thot).
We play a home scenario with lot of specific units, whose graphics are from this server.
Saved game (autosave and resynch.sav) available on request.

Action:
bombing
nota: looks to appear more often (quite systematically) when second player bombs (the one who is not the server).
nota: looks to appear more often with the dragon bomber, but not only.
nota: looks to appear more often when the non bombing player is in a city screen or in the advisor screen.
nota: at this stage of the game, we bomb only sea vessels.

Effect:
Loss of synchro (most of the time) or game crash (rare).

Environnment:
1.27f on PTW. Windows XP Home edition. 512 Mb RAM, 2GHz machines. 10B100 LAN connected to internet via ADSL router (automatic connection).
2 players on the LAN. No other player.

I had this problem when playing lan with my bro...easy fix it to turn off animation for this...you might not like turning off animations for it...but atleast you can play and bomb then...

Hope this helps...
