Imagine it: you fasten the brooch on your cape, buckle on your piston boots, and stroll out of the door of your super base, only to find a deserted city before you. The <a href="http://www.coh.com"><em>City of Heroes</em></a> - or <a href="http://www.cityofvillains.com"><em>Villains</em></a> - is abandoned.The buildings are still standing, but there are no people. Familiar contacts are gone from their street corners. No pedestrians pass by and wave to you. Places that are usually abuzz with player chatter, like Atlas Park, are silent. Even the villains are gone. You are the only living thing anywhere in this desolate place.<br /><br />It's not post-apocalyptic <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/cox"><em>CoX</em></a>, it's the result of a bug that has been around for a while, but has been cropping up a lot more with the last round of patches. The 'sync bug', as it is known, gets the client out of sync with the server. You can move around, but you can't interact with the other elements of the game world. It's spooky, and it's very frustrating.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/20/cox-addresses-the-dreaded-sync-bug/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>CoX addresses the dreaded sync bug</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/20/cox-addresses-the-dreaded-sync-bug/">CoX addresses the dreaded sync bug</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST.
