[glob2-devel] Next Release: Targetting Network Games

[Bradley Arsenault]

In the next release, other improvements aside, I think we should put
multiplayer as the priorty. This means solving desyncs, in particular,
this 0 checksum seems to be hiding all other encountered desyncs
(since the 0 checksum bug started appearing, I have only seen a desync
not involving it once). So, heres to gather the information about that
bug

1) It can, and most often does, only happen to one person in a multiplayer game.
2) It can be reproduced if one person serioussly lags there own system
3) Checksums are 0 by default, which means if the packets aren't be
recieved for some reason and the normal damage control is failing,
that could be the cause
4) I am fairly certain this is a client error, the checksum is being
sent, just not recieved properly.

If anyone has a slow computer and lots of free time, I would like to
meet on IRC to try and debug this.
