Orrrrrrrrrrrr.....it feels like you and the people you're playing against have different builds of the game. For instance, you have a mod installed, or they have mods installed, or you haven't updated to the latest version, or they haven't updated to the latest version.

I thought you had to have the latest build to get online. Also you can't run mods unless all players have the switch to allow it.

 Either way if the code was written well it wouldn't allow me to play online with other people who have incompatible builds.

You can't run mods unless all players have the switch to allow it - hence a desync.

You should always bring up Impulse first thing before you play the game because then you will know if there is an update available.

Are running a non-English localization? Some of them (Polish, in particular) have been reported to cause desyncs. Those users found the issues were resolved if they reinstalled in English.

Could you, please, make a desync problem report just to display in chatbox? That pop-up window with confirmation button makes the game hardly playable when this error starts to occur.

Thanks.
