Maybe try playing more than one game before posting?

I always find these threads interesting, because I've never seen this. Ever. Not once since release day.

Well, you've only played 50 games since the stat reset, and the critical gamestate error was implemented in a hotfix to 1.1 which came after the stat reset.

So yeah, that doesn't really impress me much?

people clearly hallucinate when they see invalid gamestates.. Zehdon is the only sane person in this game.

Demalii:  The game's still worth playing.  The 'invalid gamestate' seems to hit me about 1 game in 15, and can be caused by players pulling the plug to avoid a loss, or game crashes.  No way to be sure that I've heard of.

You just got lucky, 'invalid gamestate' and dissed by ZehDon all in one effort.  Welcome back.

As I constantly need to explain to people here, I play mostly over VPN's rather than play Public games. I usually play three games a night, every night of the week. The roster changes daily, and I play with a random selection of around 20 people who have access to our VPN. The issue may effect a percentage of the player base, however that percentage is disporportional to the percentage not effected by it. Of the 20 or so people I play against, no one has ever seen this issue. Ever. I'm not saying it's not real - I'm just saying it's not as bad as the OP likes to pretend it is, and the fact that there are no less than 3 threads currently covering this exact issue on the front page should be more than enough. Post in one of those.

ZehDon - you might be onto something the programmers need to know.  If it doesn't happen on VPN, and, believe me, it DOES                happen on the net, maybe that will help in the diagnosis.  If there's something about the VPN connection that eliminates the problem, maybe that helps find the flaw in the programming/bug/irritant.  And there still needs to be another solution when somebody doesn't figure he should take a loss, so he exploits the game and induces an 'invalid gamestate'.

One of my teammates lost his internet, in game, last night.  Took a couple hours for him to get service back.  But the game did it's job.  It counted him down, and replaced him with the AI.  We took a loss for it, when the remaining player and I could not overcome the other 3 guys.

I've posted in multiple threads about it, PRECISELY BECAUSE I'M HOPING SOMEONE WILL FIX IT !!!!!!!!!!!  I have seen no recent feedback in this thread or any of the other threads from Froggy or Stardock that they are working on it.  There was a report in the 1.2 patch that something in the game was fixed to prevent it, but maybe that was another instance.

Oh, and ZehDon, please post a forum guide to every noobie that he should read every freakin post ever made before he posts for the first time, so he doesn't repeat something you've already seen.

Now that i've vented, ZehDon and all of you have a great Thanksgiving and Holiday season.

My God, ZehDon you are really annoying!

I have see you post in other threads, saying that the Invalid error happens only when people have connection issues or a computer problem.

Now you are acting like you "know" it is an exploit, by people who dont want to get a loss. You just dont want to admit that your argument:

So yeah you play with some nice people who are not jerks, and they dont try to exploit/hack the game.

What does that have anything to do with the rest of us?

Also, since you do know that it is jerks who cause this error in order to avoid a loss (finally you have figured it out), and you are so smart knowing exactly how it happens, why dont you try to help SD/GPG to find a way to avoid these exploits?

I am not trying to look smart, dumb, annoying or whatever.

I am simply trying to say that me and other people who have spent a LOT of hours playing, and have a lot of games online, have seen more Sh!t in this game than most people. I am not saying just me, but many people who have played over 700-800 games total, since the infamous Invalid gamestate error first appeared.

First of all, stop saying things that i never said. Frequently = more than 50%. What i said is that i get the annoying error about 5-8% of my games. That is not frequently, that is rarely.

Secondly, Do we both agree that the error is caused by assh*les 90% of the times it happens, that dont want to get a loss?

Also, since you clearly know more techinical stuff than me about connections, how could I know a solution to this? I thought you did know something, but unfortunately you dont.

Third, I agree with most of the things you said, blah blah blah, but clearly you are avoiding my arguements about you not playing ranked games and thus, not having to deal with random jerks who exploit the game.

Since you are not playing with random players in ranked games how could you ever get the Invalid Error? Nobody from the 20 people you are playing with are jerks who are trying to desync the game, apparently. I am gonna say it again:

Invalid Error = 90% of the times an exploit/hack.

4th, if you want to make arguements about what i said, answer properly. Like when i said that what does playing over VPN have to do with a person playing a random PUG game that it is ranked. Or about everybody else who is playing Demigod for that matter. Btw, you didnt have to explain what VPN is, i think i have "heard about it" before.

Last but not least, I understand that the NetCode of Demigod is solid on that matter, and i remember saying in one of my posts a long time ago, that the Netcode is crap, which is not the case, i was wrong about that.

Is that what you are defending so much in every post you make? the game's NetCode? how Solid it is? I dont understand why you are fighting and defending it so much since people complain a LOT more about other problems/bugs, but this.

We can keep this up all day, but i am too tired to do it. Just state your facts, (you already did) tell us your opinion, and lets leave this post get buried like all those old demigod-has-issues posts before it.

Cheers,
