Hello,
My wife and I have been playing factorio for some time now but after 1 play session (normally 2-4 hours) the next time we attempt to play we suffer from a constant DeSync loop. If I host (more powerful PC) she desync's 4 or 5 times then crashes, if she hosts my pc will continually re-connect until it eventually stabilizes (40 or so de-syncs) Yesterday we didn't De-sync once but today we cant play at all.
I have attached my latest desync report.
We both have the same mods
Diesel Generator 3.0
Landfil 2.1.7
Powered Entities 2.0
SolarMod 1.0.1
VanillaEx.8
Appreciate any incite you can give!
Thank you!
~Josh

As the desyncs happen so often it is almost guaranteed that they are mod related, on the other hand it should be quite easy to find out which mod it is, remove them one after the other until they no longer occur. You can still load your save file after changing the mods, only mod related entities will be removed.

Looks like you were right! VanillaEx no longer works. It's just so strange. We can play for 6 hours in s row but as soon as someone leaves and try's to reconnect or we come back another day I starts the desync. This is why I didn't think it was mod related.
Regardless thank you. It's very stabil now.

If you can start the game with the mod but can't rejoin it/load it later it would point to an issue in mods on_load handler.
