So I started a TMM game and it had a desync straight away.
AFTER THE GAME I noticed that the client was still downloading the new exe. There was a game patch recently, I didn't have it.
So my theory is TMM doesnt wait for upgrade downloads before launch.
Yeah, i had the same thing, i made a Github issue^^
The player should probably only be queued after he has all game files.
If you’re a guest in a party this is currently not possible to detect. It’s only possible for the leader.
@katharsas said in desyncs and patch versions:
Cant we just delay any queue joining on the client side if game files arent upt to date?
Doesn't cover the problem if you already joined a queue and then a patch is deployed.

Also the party leader is the one who queues and there currently is no way for party members to inform the leader if they are ready or not.
Can we simply block joining a party if game files are not up to date?
@Brutus5000 That would not happen very often at all, while right now it can affect anybody even long after the patch has been deployed.

Probably

Well then this should not be tied to joining queues, but the client should download new game files after start.

Or it could be tied to loading the TMM tab. That way you have needed game versions for any TMM related activity, but don't unnecessaily redownload version if for example you are just repeatedly testing with beta patch via custom games.
