1. I watched 1 replay whit new gentool future on MDS mode.
2. Didn't turn off the MDS mode and went online to play some clanwars.
3. we played random 1 game whitout problem
4. we wanted a rematch and got a mirror matchup (it was random tough but both players got Laser general)
5. then we got the MM, we rehosted and it stayed happening.
6. it didn't happen when i tried to play whit other players, and it didn't happen to -Z-Ledenon when he tried to play whit other people eighter.

I dont know if it is a Gentool error, but since Sim Lim Tao has the same problem now i am asking.

Yep, I encountered the same problem

me and player Robin from CCG were having some ffgs, and everytime we went to start the game, the mismatch error came up on the screen

eventually we got a couple of ffgs in but every 2nd game was mismatched ohmy.gif

Hmm shit. I need more information than that still. Version constellation, no gentool, with gentool, player count, replay watched before, no replay watched before. I must know everything.

I have no idea where to look still.

- I had watched a replay before we played.
- first game worked fine (after replay watching)
- 2nd and 3th 4th 5th 6th 7th game dced
- player count 2.
- first i had v4.7 updated to v5.4
- I had the MSD version on.
- after the 3th or 4th game i noticed it was on and turned it off.

What version does the enemy have?

Do mismatches also occur if none of the players watched a replay before?

Could it be that you use hotkeys for base building and when you press that button it mismatches, like lets say buttons S, U, I, O, P, L ?

Was there an observer in a game?

Tested out something quick on QM with it:

Watched replay - Started up a few QM matches - No mismatches

Watched replay with MH being used and MDS popping up - Used all MDS keys - Kept MDS turned on - Started up few QM matches - No mismatches happened.

Opponents probably didn't have Gentool. Anyone else up for some testing on ZH?

i pressed ofc the hotkey for the powerplant wich is R i think ? and i use D for fast dozer.
but it mismatches right in the 1st second of the game. (I do press D in the loadingscreen tough)

both where using version 5.4

there was no observer

That happened for me allso, and when i got gla i buy worker with mouse it happens allso. Worker/dozer doesn't move, like if someone was sl , and after 2 sec mm came out. It happened even if i join 2v2 3v3 doesnt matter. It fixing when i restart zh otherwise it wont.

I was thinking a bit and have the suspicion that the GenTool crash fixing feature causes this MM behaviour. By that I mean the Replay crashes when you select players to enable the Fog of War. GenTool basicly injects some code which makes crashes "skip" by checking if the pointer is good or not. And no I am not using IsBadReadPtr() in case you know this shit tongue.gif

Point is that this "skippage" of crashes may lead to memory corruption, as the initial cause is somewhere else probably. It would be good if you could verify if this MM really only happens if at least one player was watching a replay with fog before.

So far this is just a theory.
PS: If you think you have a replay which you think causes MM after watching post it here with info what player you observe in there.

I removed the 5.4 version from gentool.net and replaced it with 4.7 as I do not want to harm the online playability for players.

Same, yesterday evening, we tryed to load a 3v3 game, got MM 5 times in a row, all on 5.4, but also different versions. Retstart zh did not help.
With other players it did work though, very strange =P

I think it'd be best guys, to stay on gentool 4.7, and if ur really insisting on watching replays; switch to 5.4 in the meantime.

Xezon should have an update before not too long biggrin.gif

I am 100% sure that is the cause. I have a possible fix, but I am not sure yet...
