If Singnet guys can only connect to those from SG, then before this matter is resolve (if ever), we'll just have to meet online together and get games going. Perhaps organise time frames where everyone can be online. It's a lot more fun playing with guys of < 150 ping anyway.

I'm usually online at 9-11pm any day.

Stardock is showing us GREAT CONFIDENCE.

First a buggy game.

Now a buggy forum.

If today's update didn't work I think will can start to consider refunding

Better to get it over with then keep on playing the waiting game for a miracle patch.

Count me in =.=. I want to try multiplayer for the FIRST TIME.

I tired it both ways - with and without the "proxyserveonly". I couldn't connect either way to other Singapore players - I could enter a game lobby, but both ways there was a Singapore player I couldn't connect to - and it was random.

I.e. 

Attempt 1 - Got into game lobby with other Singapore players - couldn't connect to player A.

Attempt 2 - Got into game lobby with other Singapore players - now cannot connect to player B, but can connect to player A.

It's weird (and frustrating).

I personally have no interest in a refund. I might try out the new AI in single player and see whether that will be enjoyable.

Modern triple A titles typically require some months of patching to stabilise, more so if the game is multiplayer-centric. One month is actually still young. I'm not advocating that games should be handled this way, but given the immense complexity of modern games, it takes a live environment to fully find out all the kinks.

I, too am willing to wait this out. I do appreciate the difficulty in getting things to work right for everyone under so many variables, I seriously look forward to the full glory of the game when it finally stabilises. I can only hope the initial poor start doesn't shoo too many players away.

I think we have to call a spade a spade.

Demigod has a wonderful concept - the game play is fun and relatively balanced, the graphics and sound are great, and the maps challenging.

But.

The connection issues really bog the game down (and this is perhaps aggravated by the lack of substantive single player content). Granted that modern internet connection issus are complex - and at times unpredictable - I tend to think that Demigod could have avoided a lot of heartache (and bad press) had they taken the decision to host all online games from the start (instead of p2p). To me, that one bad commercial decision (to go with p2p) changed what might have been a great game into one that is struggling to live up to its potential.

I have to also say that I am impressed with the amount of (relatively) open communication and sheer number of patches that have been forthcoming. But that, in the overall scheme of things, is scant comfort when I can't get the game to work the way it is supposed to.

That being said, yeah, I'm content to hang around a bit more (with my fingers crossed), but this state of affairs obviously cannot continue indefinitely.

And yeah, I would pay for a Demigod expansion (with more maps / more demigods), if (and only if) the connection issues were resolved.

Update for those who are using 2wire 2700 HGV 2 ... that piece of crap.

I bought a 49 dollars Belkin router which i cannot even find the model name.. By bridging the 2wire modem and let the belkin router handles the routing. And using the proxy thingy i am able to connect to the aussies which i am not able to do so last time.

Hey Kurooon, thanks for the info about the Belkin router. This is something I might look into.

Since this involves money in buying new parts a little picture as proof.
