An update.
On september 12th I restored that installation from the HDD I mentioned in an older post. The game (Steam version) worked fine for 2 days, but on 13th in the evening it desynced again... This time the bad syncs do not occur after a minute, I can play for longer. But looks like they happen in crowded arenas (Valley of the Jaguar) or crowded DM servers (yesterday on Survival of the Sickest in the afternoon).
Also, the first time I had tmbs on 13th it was on Hole when I was observing. When I rejoined the server as observer, a Player 0 appeared on the map. So looks like the game went desynced because it couldn't register another player accessing the map.
Next try will be deleting the folder again and copying non-Steam version (which yesterday worked flawlessly as usual because I was able to play on Yodeller, ST and Sniper Station) to Steam folder.
OR
Installing the game from an ISO in 2 different directories and try both 1.07 patches. Either Euro or USA might be causing the issue...
I think I should open a new thread next time, since I noticed the issue is not related to Fix42 (I also tried the game before installing the mod).
