Hullo,

Is it possible to maintain synchronization between players when using Preloader, or are the sync methods broken?

Does the Preload function desync? I never really knew that.
What is the point of the function again? I used it mainly for anti-cheats

Preload doesn't (which writes to files), but Preloader does (reading from files). I'm using it to make an auto save/load system.

Does this help? It has built-in save/load so no manual saveload needed.

Yeah, I was using his system as a baseline, but he wasn't keen on helping me figure out the fundamentals on it so I could use it with different save systems. I got like halfway to figuring out how to incorporate it into others, but I couldn't figure out the right way to sync large amounts of characters so that it wouldn't go over the limit.
