ANY cure for synch problems with 1.2??

[boogert]

okay, well we have all installed the new patch 1.2 and have had different stories to tell. mine has been one of failure. i have yet to complete a game without any synch errors. but i know there are people out there who have had success.....so i am wondering, if they have any advice?? i have been playing on a LAN. not himachi. just me and a friend in the same room with 2 computers. now it cant possibly get more stable than that! also i have heard some stories about the u.s. version being more stable, and i wonder if there is any truth to that?

my synch problems always seem to occur after i save, and then when we reload. i am wondering what it the "right" proces for saving and exiting a game?? i assume the one who created it should save right?, but then who exits the game screen first? the creator or the other person, and do you exit to lobby, or straight to desktop? thanks!
