texture res desync bug?
Sun, 2012-01-15 05:56
i've been messing around with a demo from an online match that stopped mid game and i just noticed it plays back differently with highres textures on. when i played the match originally i was using lowres.
so those are pictures of the same shot with high and low res. i remember thinking the game had frozen when the mine stopped mid air because i didn't see the dot of land it had run into. with highres the mine goes past it. also note the hog i was aiming at is in a slightly different position.
i removed the finish command from the demo to make it playable. here is the unedited demo file
hmm.. i'm pretty sure it's the snow causing the desync. i've done a quick test and high/low res snow don't seem to be compatible.
well idk.. but here's another snow match that plays back differently

a noticeable desync starts at 3:52. with highres the flying saucer slides and on low it stops abruptly. the match was originally played with highres

This change is backwards compatible (obviously) with 0.9.17 if you can do a build with it added.
BTW, the problem wasn't really with snow, it was more that snow made it much more likely to occur.
I had accidentally erased part of idling hedgehogs, and inconsistently. When snowflakes hit them, their shape was different. This accumulated error occasionally caused desyncs.
