Desync error
A desync error occurs when one or more players move out of sync with the server. After a short while, the player will be ejected from the game with the following message:
Desyncs are always bugs in OpenTTD, which can be put into three classes: calling (Interactive)Random() in the wrong place, not rebuilding caches correctly, or coding errors like overflows. They are NOT caused by a too slow computer, too slow internet connection etc.
See Desync Debugging on how you can help to track and identify the bug.
