OOS On Multiplayer Random Events

[Ed_]

Hello all! I did a search for out of sync issues and found the guide for clearing your cache. My friend and I both did that to no avail, so I figured I would try creating a new topic on the issue as this seems to be a new problem with the patch for the two of us.

Basically, my friend and I play long games together and before the patch had no issues. We leave random events on because we enjoy the extra element of surprise. We typically play for a while and then exit the game and load at a later date.

In any case, it seems that when the load the game everything is okay at first. Then as the game progresses and random events occur, we go out of sync. I've found through the event log we're both getting different random events, even though it happens at the same time. Example: Maybe I'll see the Dutch get a tornado but he'll see them get a breakthrough. Of course, I can always disconnect and reconnect and this fixes it.. but only until another event occurs. As you can see, this is rather annoying.

So it would appear that the random events are causing us to go out of sync.. but why? This never happened before the latest patch. As stated before, we tried clearing our cache but this didn't help the issue. Is there anything else we can do besides just disabling random events?

i got the same problem as this guy... me and a friend we can play for long hours and at some point we go OOS... we clean the cache then go back to the game and it does the same thing after some turns... btw we clean the cache before we start new games to try to remove the possibilities of that OOS prob.

anyone can tell how we can solve that problem other then removing the special events? cause we like those so we would like to keep them if possible.
