Server splits only happen with bots, and only with more than 3 people. I limit my bot-hosted games to 3 people at all times to avoid getting desynched from the ones I like.

I take that back, I got a desync with 3 people today.

Today I played 8 games.
Games 1-3 were desynced and all the others left so I had to leave too ( 20min timer :/ ). ( but I met Valkier in the very first game biggrin

)
Games 4-6 were desynced too, but I got disconnected right away.
Game 7 worked fine ( o_O ), but at some point, something killed me and my base again and again with random lightnings until I quit.
Game 8 was disconnected again like 4-6.

So yeah, it pisses me off too. aaa

heres a temporary solution. if you desync tell everyone in the game to restart wc3. its not the bots fault desyncs happen. its the map code, i know this from being the lead dev in TBR. theres nothing you as a player can really do to prevent htem. but i do know that restarting wc3 after a desync DOES help. also you can desync with only 2 players.

So if I had restartet after the first game, I might not have had 7 desyncs in one day? Good to know, thx KySoto.
