Anti Desync Guide

Hello , Are you sick of desync? Lost your kaoms to desync?

Have no fear , DemY's here!

I found a way , to cheat death , to triumph fetid pool on merciless , I am GOD.

Now to the guide.

*What is desync*
Desync is/happens when the client side is not syncing , therefor your character is somewhere and apears somewhere else so you are not in sync , you see one think and in the game something else happens , witch can lead to your death.

*Aditional Info*
Spoiler
As we all know Path of Exile doesn't have a anti cheating/anti hacking guard.
basically no sneaky'n'peaky program that sniffs around your memory values used by the game or as other "hack" shields do sniff your entire PC out like a 71 year old virgin sniffing pants.

This is good and bad at the same time.

Since PoE doesn't have a anti hack shield , they don't 100% trust the client , so not 100% of the information is send from the client to the server , basically desync is a 100% anti hacking shield witch doesn't sniff around and works.

Pros of no anti hack shield.
-Less load on the pc.
-Cheaper then a hack shield , witch lets GGG to invest in server/game content/advertising.
-Is as efficient as a hack shield.

-Cons
-Desync.

*More addition info*
/oos is the command in the game to manually resync the game.

*Actual guide.*
There are more ways to achieve true immortality , Let's discuss first way.

Spoiler
Spoiler
1st way.Runs better on old/bad PC's.(Synapse 2 needed.)
It's basically binding the /oos command to a key.
This let's you bind the /oos command on a mousekey(Scroll up/down middle scroll left/right click or/and additional buttons.
Explanation what it does/works.

1.)Start up Synapse 2
2.)At the top select macros
3.)Create a macro like mine.(By recording the next key combinations.Press Enter , / , o , o , s , enter.

4.)Bind the macro to a key on your mouse.
Select a key by pressing it.
Select the macro witch you want to bind.
5.)Enjoy , never die.


Second way. This works with Qmacro , a simple , but very good tool.
The trial is free and the program is quite cheap. *torentz* meh meh
Spoiler

1.)Start Qmacro press on New , location indicated by red rectangle.
2.)Press on Keyboard command.
3.)At Key press enter , make sure exec times is set to 1 and press insert.
4.)Repeat step 3 by changing the "key" from enter to / than to o than o again than s and at last Enter again. Should look something like in my picture.
6.)Now press on Start hot key to select witch hotkey you wanna use to resync your game.
You can use any keyboard key , you can use any mouse key.(Like scroll down for example , or the key you use to spamm your main attack to resync every time you attack.)


*****NOTE*****

You can bind the /oom to the key you cast your main spell , but incase of high attack speed chars/fast casting chars , be careful since it affects performance if spammed a lot on low end PC's.

I have heard that the /oos command works only once every 10 second.
Still testing.


Next ways coming once I find some free macro programs.Please post comments if you know any free macro programs.
Beside AutoIT.
Thank you
-DemY

all nice and good, but you are aware that autohotkey desync scripts exist for some time now?

Hello , I am well aware of that , but most people always complain about desync , without researching why it is there , how it works , or how to do something about that. So I thought , why not explain people how to do it , instead of giving them a already made macro.Might actually rise some intrest in some people.

There are also gameplay methods that reduce desync. If you can, attack the ground in front of the target you want to hit with an AoE and not actually on the target. (This way if the target is desynced you won't move to attack it) Don't attack around lots of pillars (think marketplace). Shift attack targets if you have to actually attack a target (again, you won't move).
An incredibly important piece of information (unless it's changed with 1.0.0) is that there is a 10 second invisible cooldown on /oos. Which means that you can't really become immune to desync using /oos.

I also have reason to believe this 10 second cooldown is shared with some of the game's automatic resynchronization code, so I try to use /oos very sparingly, lest I resync at the wrong time and prevent resync at the important points.

There is no easy answer to desync right now. It's very difficult to program synchronization problems due to how the Internet functions, and GGG doesn't trust hack shields. They say they are working on more solutions. I'm hoping to hear from them soon through 1.0.1 patch notes.

Very intresting , I haven't noticed that.
I will check it if it works.
Till now what I observed is that if I spamm it 2-5 times/sec
My ping get's a bit higher(from 74 ms average to 81 average.
But very intresting.I'll check it.
So now desync is an anti hack mechanic? I've heard a lot of explanations from Chris but never this one.

but yeah... /oos macros have been around for... oh a couple of years now, bit late to the party on this one hoss.

Desync is a side-effect of only trusting the server site for calculations,
which is the most fire-sure way of dealing with hacking.

PoE also has a mechanic which "inflates" the desync:
The ability to miss with your skills.
