    Default Desynchronization with Custom Campaign Mod 2

    For some reason this happens everytime my friend and I try to play an online match together. My game is patched and CC2 installed. It doesn't happen in M2TW vanilla, only CC2. Also, is CC2 the most up to date retrofit mod or should i be using the Grand Unit Addon?

    Vanilla is the best bet for online play.
    Any online play, all players have to have the same mod, patched to the same version, with exactly the same personal tweaks. You change a file and your buddies don't, you can't play everything has match exactly. My guess they use file time/date stamps, file sizes, etc.

    Well we both have the whole thing installed with CCM2. I don't know why it is acting up.

    Both XP? Both Vista? One XP, one Vista?

    I don't have any special insight into your problem. Now that's said I'm tempted to tell you to turn off your UAC on both systems while playing. Vista is a strange animal and I have a hunch that this might help. My thought is that UAC is interfering with the game and causing it to go out of synch. Let us know if this helps or not - I'd like any more insight into Vista as possible. Thanks!

    Well if you tried disabling it and it didn't change anything then you're probably right. It was just a shot in the dark.

    Have either of you installed another mod that the other doesn't have? The files in the mod you're trying to play has to be exactly the same as your friends or you'll never get them to synch. It seems to me that the only reason you're not getting a clean handshake is that one or the other of you have files that aren't exactly alike....
