[0.15.15] No size limits or player options on desyncs

Post by zerohourrct »

So I have a desync report that is 1GB large. If you guys want it, I will find a way to upload it... but 1GB though.

I'm requesting the option for clients or server admins to disable desync reporting, perhaps via a dialog box when a desync occurs, perhaps related to the size of the map.

Desync reports are my #1 problem with multiplayer game play right now, and are probably using up significantly more bandwidth than the game itself, and are a huge drag on large MP servers.

Please do not force automatic generation of desync reports if the client is not going to upload them automatically. It's a big waste of bandwidth. Let the player decide to generate the desync report, so the players that are going to upload them can, and the players that are not going to upload them don't waste everyone's time.

Perhaps have options both ways, allow server admins to disable desync saving, and allow clients a dialog box on whether to download the desync report or not.

That is not a bug-report, see development suggestions.

We're not going to add an option to disable desync reports. The point of the reports is so you give them to us and we can fix them.

*Especially* so in the experimental branch.
