The soviet players in the game history section always appear with a british flag. Sync errors could be caused by incorrect game data or a faulty replay. Try redownloading the replay and making sure your EF version and vCoH version is correct.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

You can:
a) Watch replays if them were recorded with the same version(patch) that you have now; this is for both, vCoH and EF.
b) If you have replays from 2.600 there's an utility on GR to convert from that version to 2.601, this is for vCoH.

You can't:
a) Watch replays from vCoH on EF and vice versa. Different versions.
b) Watch replays below 2.601 if you have full patched your vCoH. Also you can't watch replays below 1.11 if EF is up to date. Different versions.

In my experience:

If you watch a replay with "Sync error" and the game proceeds in a correct way, perhaps the file is corrupted.

If you watch a replay with "Sync error" and the game proceeds in a "weird way", most likely you are trying to view an outdated replay.

P.S. While trying to see the replay I realize that got the same error that our comrade hans... GodlikeDennis, do you use 1.111? :S


EDIT: Whoops! I have uninstalled, reinstalled and updated EF and now works :P. The good thing about uninstall is that the files remaining are never meant to be there ;). @Hans remember to patch to 1.111 after 1.11.

Thx, got it working.

@Sonders: I think you could have easily ruled out the WM Player much earlier.

The first engagement is basically rape-won by your Command Squad. You just sacrifice your Conscripts and then arty strike on MG-building and own the volks. Battlefiled is yours.
At 5.40, when you use fire up against two MGs you have 600-700 mp which could have been invested in to Strelky squads at that point. Those could have easily flanked the MG's = second engagement win. You basically dont do anything in early game, dont use the full power of soviet infantry.

Your use of SU85 was decent though.

The wehr player was pretty good IMHO. His greatest weakness was your greates strenght: His tank micro. But anyways he seemed quite more skilled than you in that game. No offense.

Again a replay which gives the impression SU is OP.

Situation changed: Now, everytime I start the replay (via EF) I get a sync error and the game proceeds in a very weird manner... like every player builds only one unit... and starts capping... thats the whole game... funny... but pretty unskilled... xD

Also the SU faction in the replay menu wears the british flag..

Any ideas to solve this problem?
