So a couple of days ago I played against this player:
Name: Katrielly
aoe2 Profile: https://aoe2.net/#profile-5253179
And the game desynced just as I was about to win the game, I saw his profile and he constantly desyncs his loosing games so that he doesn't drop ELO (just check for all his games that don't have a winner/looser in his aoe2 profile linked above).
It has been 4 days from my desync and he still hasn't lost ELO for any of the desync games (and I haven't won ELO from my match) so I think it's safe to say that he has a working method to force desync and don't loose ELO wasting time on every person that beats him in a ranked match.
This should be stopped ASAP before it gets more and more common in the ladder (and by seeing recent post in this reddit it's pretty clear that it is in fact getting more common).
I belive that fix bugs faster its better to have the exploits in the open so I encourage everyone to keep posting this issue until it gets fixed, same as the current Sicilian exploit where you can't loose if you have a krepost fundation in the map (IDK how he desync's games so I can't tell you how he does it, it's possibly done by trying to build stuff on top of unseen existing stuff in fog of war but I have not seen evidence of this in the his recs).
Update: Now he started doing it in Team Games as well.
