Synchronization quality testing

Module for search abnormal desynchronization between two identical movement sequences.

There are three steps:

• (1) record movements
• (2) playback movements
• (3) verify sync of movements

How it works:

• load savefile in game
• start server
• open RGL Command line console
• (1) type coop.record 1
• do some movements on campaign map
• type coop.stop
• stop server
• load the same savefile in game
• start server
• open rgl-debug-console
• (2) type coop.play 1
• setup normal speed (key 2)
• main hero party will be moving exactly same as past
• (3) wait while in log shown [REPLAY] Verifying has finished ...
• view file \mb2\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\logs\1-verified.html in browser or Excel

Column names used in report:

• timeDiff(ms) - it is the in-game time interval in ms between related saved and replayed movement events
• skipped - it is the number of saved movement which did not find a related movement while playback
• newEvents - it is the number of new movement happend while playback which did not find a related in saved movements
• cols - it is the statistical info about distribution of time intervals calculated as count(log2(time_diff), column)`

Constant shift in result data no matter. It is important that the spread of values is minimal.

In Excel you may create histogram looks like follow:
