This is to summarize how our last game ended:
blue player had to defeat a bunch of master gremlins to get further, but every time he did, the save game button turned gray. If we stood still, the save game button was fine. We were unable get past this problem. My guess is that something in the combat phase can cause the save game button turn gray.
I am making a distinction between out-of-sync and a grayed save game button. Despite a grayed out button we were able to see each others heroes moving and even attack each other. This is in contrast to the desynced games we had - in those all opponents heroes seemed "frozen" and did not move even when the other player moved them.
Maybe the games can be more or less corrupt, and the grayed out save game button is a just a sign of some type of problem? (I have heard rumours of games being desynced and still having an enabled save game button).

According to my experience - once the button is grey the game is fuc*ed.
Types of desynchronizations (more like various cases):
- minor (heroes move and you can see each other moving but then you want to attack your enemy you freeze in tactics mode forever
- major (all oponent heroes are frozen and not moving)
- neutrals. Some of the neutral stacks that are already killed by your oponent might look present on your monitor cousing problems (you can't attack them and can go through)
- AI players migh also get bugged. One time my oponent exterminated the AI Yellow player but my PC was still showing Yellow players movement bar. At some time after bug activation the bar freezes forever
p.s. then the bug is active you can't use quicksave button. Only autosave is active.

Not to spread gloomy thoughts etc, but me and RadDull just had a crash when playing HoF, it was out of sync so I would still advice you to save once in a while till we get a bit more experience wiht 2.0... I hope it was something outside HoF that triggered this, but I dont know.

I don't know that to think about this damn Sync bug anymore...
Lately I had a game with my friend. I was the first player and was checking “save” button every turn. Then a bug appeared and we loaded and continued playing. Same situation repeated one turn later – we loaded again. The “save” button was OK and the end of the game (the final battle) was coming.
Unfortunately we couldn’t fight. We found ourselves frozen in tactic mode forever. And the “save” button was looking good.
Let’s look at some statistics of games between my friend and me.
4 – 0. Sync bug wins all the time.
Also I have some other friend. We played more then 10 games together – no Sync bug.
That leaves me with only one theory. It’s quite not realistic but what a hell 
My first friend has the Russian version of the game (I would call it half-pirated, semi-pirated version). Second friend has the original USA version of the game (same as mine).
Question for you. Has anybody encountered a Sync bug while playing with the opponent that has the same version of the game? It doesn’t matter if the game was on Hamachi or Ubi as long as it wasn’t a Hot Seat game

Or you could consider that your friend is pulling a fast one on you and faking a de-sync problem... i.e. he knows he is going to lose for the 4th straight time and when you enter battle he simply never clicks to start battle so he sits in tactics phase. Then he says...darn its froze...it gets passed off as de-sync and poof no loss for him.... I know that is a crappy theory...but the fact that you play with NO trouble at all with others and only have this problem with same person would lead to some more thought on the matter.

Me and Sq79 both have EU versions (i think) and we have now had a really great game ruined by freezes at the start of combat. Is there any way around this?? (when you`ve encountered it). We can save and everything

i experienced some desync bug in HoF due to:
USING THAT FIXED EXE FILE MEANT FOR STARTING THE GAME WITHOUT INSERTING THE DVD INTO THE DRIVE.
WARNING: IT'S A BAD FILE! it keeps few settings from 1.4 even if u play HoF, some changes have no effect and cause major malfunction. i tested it, so my advice is: if u dont have ORIGINAL DVD IN (with the original files) upon starting , better forget or you will waste few hours and maybe a good game.
have a nice day

I dont know wat to say about this advice.
If it is really true I already knew it, but when i played didnt seem to work. I could save and everything(I made the game and i've been the first), but sxhopper couldnt move on to fight each other. Dont know wat to say
