Ok, Manu, more people are confirming they have quite a few desynchs in doubles...it's silly For example Kiril vs Fedex in Hamburg - I talked to Kiril after I've seen their score and I quote "Yeah, we had to play some points about 5 times "...Please address the problem as soon as possible

I can only confirm this and hope that the problem is going to be fixed as soon as possible...

MAnu, fix this problem please, we are a lot to complain, it"s horrible!
We can't play the slightest rally. The desynch appears everytime and a set is 20 times longer.
I think i am not alone to have this problem, the game is probably bugging with this new update.

The desynchs really are awful with this build. A couple points in my last match had to be played 10 times. There really is no special time when it happens either.

Ok, so if you want to help me to find the cause of the Desyncs, do this :

1- do a clean install of the last SubBuild 2010.7.15 (ie: in a new folder) ; don't use the Patch
2- find someone who also did a clean install of the last SubBuild
3- both turn on the demo recording in the Tennis.ini
4- play a doubles set
5- note down the score when the 1st Desync appears
6- at end of the set, both send me the recorded .dmo files (saved in "C:\Program Files\Tennis Elbow 2011\Profiles\Demos")

Bonus : 7- try to notice if the Desynch happens more often when you stand on the end of the court you were not on start of the match ; ie: Host starts with the sun in his back, so does Desynch appears more often when he has the sun in his eyes ? (coz main change of Build 59 was about real change of ends)

Well, this is the same in singles? So, the standing position shouldn't be the cause of desynchs in doubles, as singles don't desynch. In the past, doubles desynchs sometimes occured when my opponent had some strange fancy stroke styles, but when he put them as normal strikes, the desynchs disappeared. Now, the desynchs occur no matter what, so I think they are definitely caused by the changes in the CPU play from the last build...Rather than reinstalling the whole game and wasting a lot of time, it is much easier for us and you to return the partners to what they were...they are quite awful now anyways.

Also, do the changes in partners' volleying change human volleying? Every time you change the partners' volleys slightly, I notice a subtle difference in my own volleying too...

Hello Manu

Missed me?

So, desynchs are still there (yes, I like my sunglasses and no I'm not TennisChampion). Now, sometimes they dont appear too often but then at periods they come like crazy Secondly, the partners aren't normal and they are hitting tonnes of errors...I think my partner has a "lob-ya-all-day" syndrome too, he lobbed about 15-20 times in a single set today What can be done for us during these dark times?

One thought... did anyone notice if there are more desyncs when both users don't have the same settings for the courts (ie: playing with 3D courts vs 2D courts) ..?
