Merely holding an offshore pump in hand is causing a desync. From our experimentation it does not matter which side (host or client), nor whether the pump is held over land or water (in any obvious way, anyway).

Let me know if you need more information than the attached desync report. I renamed the .dat file to .zip to appease the forum.

I can confirm the behaviour.

Yup here too. Done with a lan connection with a total of five players. Didn't matter who did it. Save file is below.

27882 describes this also happening with train stops and signals.

*sign*.. you fix one desync problem and it shows that it was actually hiding another.

Fixed for 0.13.4.

You can work around it by turning off the latency state until 0.13.4 is out. Or stick with 0.13.2 until 0.13.4 is out.

How can it be turned off?

Ok, nevermind, found it but does not help, still broken

The desync also happens when holding a train stop.

Edit: didn't see it was already reported, sorry.

Also seeing this issue, can you explain where to disable the latency state please?

I attempted to disable the "hide latency" option in the options menu, but it still caused desyncs.

Haha this is a funny error.... We ran into a desync loop, then started googling. 5 mins later... "er were you by any chance trying to place an offshore pump?" "yes, why?" "AHA!!!"

Helpful tip: you can break the desync loop by spamming the Q button (or your unequip key) during the desync reload progress bar. You'll still get one more desync load after that, but the next one should be back to normal.

Everyone log out except 1.

Place the pump

Everyone log in again.

Hey,

might be interesting for some people. You can work-around this problem by creating a blueprint of an already existing pump/signal.
Using the blueprint works without a problem

Desync while placing train station 0.13.3, checked both ways(first im server then friend is server) and on different maps.

Found a new desync problem with holding in a assembly machine 3, same as the others


Edit: wasn't that, he just had issues with his internet ^^ sry bout that

Ran into this problem today with an offshore pump - we managed to downgrade to 0.13.2, and no desync issues so far.
Progress was however lost.

Im also having massive desync problems in multiplayer (2 players) since 0.13.0. No items held, just mass desync reloadings after joing game. No matter what version. 0.13.4 didnt help at all.

This particular desync bug has been fixed. If you have desyncs in 0.13.4 then make a new bug report.
