I see reports of "bad connectivity". But please understand, when we play the game with people online it works perfectly so we need to try to understand specifically what you're seeing.
So when you say "I can't get into a multiplayer custom game" for instance, what specifically do you mean?
Can you bring up the connectivity dialog? What does it say?
That kind of thing. The more you tell us, the quicker we can resolve it.
See http://forums.demigodthegame.com/347467 for where we're at.
Thanks!
If you've got two copies of the game behind the same router, you need to use the ImpulseReactorOptions.exe in the bin folder to set one of them to use different ports.
Hey,i havent been able to connect to any game or player so far. Sometimes it even freezes completely on hitting connect button. or it "attempts to connect" til the end of days... One time, a host player was able to connect to me according to the connection status window, but i wasnt.I tried that port forwarding guide from orleanknight, and still all ports closed as far as PFPChecker can see. No Firewall or Anti Virus Software in use. Ports are configured to be forwarded by the router, its a Telecom Speedport W502V, pretty modern and hasnt cause any trouble with other games or applications before. Although i cant find any "MAC adress cloning" feature within its firmware...So what can i do except waiting for fixes, although it might be the error is on my end. But so far, as I said, everything else works fine on my network, so whats so special about Demigod's netcode?Thx for any advice.
sorry for double posting, found this thread here to late...
I've had the occasional freeze up when in the game selection screen in MPlayer. Today I can't even refresh the list due to some runtime error that claims a lack of memory and forced me to reboot once, and simply crashed the game the second time. The list of games today seemed to be extremely long today for the brief moment I could see it before the freeze ups. On a side note why can't we sort games by using column filters?

since today, when i click on internet (afer clicken on multiplayer u know what i mean), its just stuck and i wait till it connects but it will never do.
EDIT: OMG tried it like 30 sec after writin this for the xxx. time and now it works again. curse u god of luck.
FIXED for me with latest patch
THANK YOU!
everything fixed for me aswell, i could not connect at all before this update... now everything is without issues working perfect.
Everything works fine for me except skirmish. When I tried some skirmish games Saturday there was always someone. Usually the last person that never tried to connect to anyone. I always showed up as connected to everyone except the last person always showed up as connected to no one. Then eventually I would get matching service failed. I played custom games fine. I had played pantheon as well with little issues.
Simce I prefer 3v3, I guess I might stick with custom games.
I wonder why the pings in demigod are so high. in fact i would say that pings between players in demigod are at least twice as high as in any other online game i played.
in demigod the best ping i got was around 70ms. i'm from europe/germany and if i play something else (no matter what) i usually have pings around 70-100 to servers/players in the usa. with demigod i never had a ping below 200 with an usa player.
within europe i normaly have pings between 25 - 120. in demigod it starts with 70 and goes up to 300 with bad luck. it is only demigod i know of to have scuh bad pings.
just for information, as i only join games with pings <160 i never got disconnected during a demigod game.
edit: i guess that anybody else encounters the same ping situation as me. because i ask the people from time to time about their pings to others and they are in the same situation. soemthing seems very bad here about the latency.
What's with the message that keeps popping backup up every 2-3 seconds when someone gets desynched - I must have clicked it away at least a 100 times, since it was a very tight game otherwise - but after a while I just got too annoyed with it - becomes unplayable.
Can't they limit the number of such near-identical messages to 1? I believed it the first time. Argh.
I have never been able to play Patheon after the patheon restarted. I can went into games but none of them (very few of them I could get in anyway, so only 1 or 2) were perfect. 3vAIs, 2vAIs, 3v1.
Typical symtoms:
A: 1 guy stuck on not connected while everyone else could connect. the following happens:
B: Everyone shows connected to each other, but game loading screen won't launch. Stuck like this forever until someone quits.
C: Launched into game loading screen alright (may be combined with situations above), but stuck at game loading screen forever, until someone quits due to impatience.
Unually when someone quits, it moves on fine.
