whenever i fight a person sometimes the game stops and it says sync lost waiting for other player and then there is a countdown but most of the time it says sync lost waiting for other player and there is no countdown. i wait for like hours but the screen stays the same. i have to quit and then i'll lose points could someone tell me what to do when this happens or at least why it happens? :angryfire:

Yeah I know what you mean. You're talking about this (http://www.angelfire.com/games4/starcraft_g/xvssfglitches.html), right. It's rather confusing. It's a lose lose situation. Very frustrating. TMyApp fix this!!!

glitch? sync lost means the connection was lost. any idiot would know that. when it says 'sync lost waiting for other person', it means YOU lost the connection. the countdown means the person lost connection.

No, it's not like that. I have cable, so it's not like I can lose my connection.

Sorry, I didn't make myself quite clear. I know that I can lose lose/cut off my connection if I just take out one of the plugs/cables/whatever in the cable modem.

I meant that if I don't do anything, everything is all plugged and everything, it won't disconnect (unless the company actually cuts off the connection to us), but other than that, no.

Well, Lets See Now, Hmmm..., Oh Yea Well I Have Cable Too, And It Always Loses Connection, Why, Because When The Other Person Loses Connection You Lose Connection.

This has been happening to everybody for ever...

It happens when people leave your game (almost always in host games then any other type). If you have people watching the game and they leave, if you have people playing the game and they leave... this msg will almost always pop up.

Not really anything you can do about it.
