This is our (Knavey vs. Feinder) last large CV attack. We have been getting discrepencies throughout this game, and I was wondering if it translated over to other computers besides ours.
If you can spare a few minutes to execute this combat replay for us and see if the results are the same as ours. We are well past this turn, but it is the last one that we had major problems with. I do know a bug associated with this game already, and perhaps this will help confirm it.
I EDITED THIS AND CHANGED THE FILE TO A ZIP FILE.
Thanks for the help...
Here is what happened during MY turn...

To echo what Joe said, I would be more concerned with specific data about units involved.
So a better idea would be to post what the sys, float and fire damage for the key ships involved in the combat.
So if someone has a ship sink that you did not, that would be the problem.
So to focus the extent of this test, pick a couple of ships for people to look at and compare the results.

Same exact results. Detail for Detail.
I think that CombatReports should be 100% same for both sides in PBEM...

I have another concern.
As somebody pointed out, the After Action Reports are fictitious - they are there to give you a general idea of what happened - not the precise results.
You only discover the precise results when the replay is complete and you check the condition of your troops.

They should be the same. Even with FOW on, both players should still get the same report. I know they have been working on this but its a very hard problem to fix.

We have never successfully completely eliminated the bug that causes the replay to play differently on different computers. Among all users we think this bug is rare, but we know it still happens sometimes. We have spent literally hundreds of hours trying to fix this and all we seem to have done is reduce the chance that the replay won't repeat exactly (at best). We are at the point of thinking the different results people get must have something to do with specific computers. We think if we did everything right this shouldn't be the case, but we've run out of guesses on what is causing the problem. Our last hope is that when the game was recently compiled using a new compiler, several errors were caught and fixed. Perhaps one of these fixes will help fix this bug, but that's a longshot at best. Sometime in the next month or so (no exact ETA due to test time required) we hope to put out a small patch that incorporates these fixes. Wish I had better news about this bug. If through your post you can come to a better understanding of what PC systems repeat ok, and which don't, that could help. Thanks.

The report contains bad info for both sides. As the US, you can verify the reports about your units but not the Japs, and the Jap player can verify his units but not the US. Therefore neither side knows just exactly how bad the other guy was hit. FOW.

Kid,
I agree that the replay sync problem probably lies in the fact that I play UV on different sets of computers.
I will download an email on my desktop and transfer the file to my laptop to play it.
I will download the file onto my laptop and play it on the desktop.
I will download it via my work email server onto the work computer and play it on my laptop.
Etc...get the picture? I would NOT want to be the one tracking down this bug.
I was really hoping that the file I posted on here would help out.
What happened with this file is that I ran the turn, and then forgot to save it (or it didn't save before I exited). I ended up running this turn several times trying to see how the sync bug affected our game, and the results that I saw were different every time. They were not slight differences either.
Unfortunately, it does not apppear to be happening right now when people are running it, but I was hoping the bug might be present in this turns file. Oh well...next time I run one and it is out of sync with Feinder, I will post with more information.

i Don't think it will be useful, but i run your file on two different computers. If i don't restart the game before running it, i get different result each time. If i start the game before running it, i get -almost- the same result from both my computers but different from yours (torpedo hits on CV Wasp):
win98SE french - pentium 1ghz - 2.20
win2000 english under emulation in virtualPC (macpowerbook) - 2.20
the two game were updated from 1.0 with ALL the patches in beetween.
