Mp Battle reports

Mine seem to be way off what actually happens. Any way to fix this?

Re: Mp Battle reports

care to elaborate a bit?

Re: Mp Battle reports

Hehe, yeah that was a bit short http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif I was Still playing at that time you see.

The problem is this:
When theres a battle, I get the normal battle summary on my Messages screen, however if I watch the battle it usually tells another story altogether.

Or maybe there's a difference across different OSes? Are you using the same OS (Win/Linux/MacOS/Solaris) as the machine doing the hosting? My understanding is that the battle report text is computed during the hosting, and is compatible with the in-game situation; while the replay itself is computed while playing, supposedly with the same random seed as was used for the hosting.
