I just got booted from another game due to an out of sync error. I've posted before and the only advice anyone could offer was to increase my virtual memory. While my paging file was already bigger than 1 MB the last time I posted, butI increased it to 1.7 MB just to be safe. I'm running AOM on a 2.3 GHz Pentium 4, with a new Radeon video card and 512 MB of RAM. Can someone please tell me why I keep getting an out of sync error, every 1 out of 4 games now. It's really anooying to just be booted from a game, and recently, it's even been happening in Heroic whereas it used to be limited to long Mythic games. If someone from ES reads this, I would especially appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Where can we read some document about this technical problem? Surely it must be well documented just like the Intel bugs. It's a bit funny as there hasn't been an uproar on the internet about it. It does exist, doesn't it?

ES_Nazgul, that is a cop-out with regard to AMD cpus. I have an AMD cpu, but I only get the OOS when I use my Linksys router. And wouldn't this happen with all AMD chips and wouldn't there be an uproar? No way, I don't believe it. Why don't I ever go OOS with WarCraft3 or Age of Empires etc.? Change your netcode.

Thanks a lot for the advice Nazgul. But I was just wondering why it seems that I've gotten OOS so many times while I've spoken with an overhwelming majority that have either never gotten it, or don't seem get it nearly as often as I do? Also, I was curious as to why the game didn't just stop for second to let the computers re-synchronize instead of just booting the player. Is that not even technically possible?

LLBAD, you have no idea. The first time I got oos(months ago) I came to these forums and told ES they had a problem with their game. And all I've heard is it's my computer, try this try that, change this change that, like I don't have a clue what I'm doing. Very frustrating. I'm an expert with computer gaming and I know for a fact their netcode isn't very good and it really doesn't like routers. There have been NUMEROUS posts of users going oos and month after month goes by without a fix. Maybe patch 1.05 will fix the problem. Till then, I have a worthless game.
