To remain on-topic, I will state that my in-game, DG nick still remains totally alien to my chosen nick : the game stubbornly refuses to recognize the new Impu

[quote who="kryo" reply="1" id="2145895"]The game just picks up you[r] Impulse nick (if you don't have an alias set, it's your name). Changes to your nick should transfer over to demigod within 24 hours. [/quote] Well ... kryo ... that's in theory. As you very well know, it doesn't quite work like that, as I have repeatedly informed you on past threads.

@ X-Raider : It is never "silly" to ask a question. Computer game developers often use the Greek alphabet to label the series (A/B/G) of major phases in the development of computer games : 1. ALPHA builds (letter A) 2. BETA builds (letter B : which include internal betas and public betas) 3. GAMMA pre-gold-master builds (letter G : comes before the D of DELTA, in the Greek language, skipping C) Not all developers test Gamma builds : often

In reply #5, I was refering to the first of the two March 19 updates : 0.95.03 3 . When I left the game program, around 10 : 36 PM (New York time), just before reporting here, I was not aware that a 0.95.03 4 update had been released (or was about to) to fix the problems raised by 0.95.033. I have not tested 0.95.034 yet.

Reply to Update: Connectivity Noticeably Worse in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

I could join games fast and fine during version 0.94.033, but after the small 0.95.033 update (March 19), I could not connect to join. The NAT Traversal phase got completed (all players green), but the Connecting to Players phase never completed. Going back to the main lobby to rejoin did not work. Restarting the whole game program did not work. I played into one of the two games _Mercury_ mentioned in his reply #3 (the one where he was surprised by my presence)

[quote who="JinxOfSin" reply="25" id="2099263"] With the unbelievable amount of optimism in these boards, any critisicm/disdain for the game is generally met with wild flailing hands and gnashing of teeth. To question Stardock's/GPG's design or policies is like asking to be lynched.

It happens to me now, even though it did not happen before! The game pauses for a few seconds.

I still cannot join a game, and now, it is worse : once started I cannot cancel the join-game process. I get stuck on the pretty angels-with-swords-with-sunset image. No in-program key can get me out of there except the Windows control-alt-delete/kill-process trick. What a progress! Oh well : I still can host or play alone against the A.I.

Beta 3. I have never succeeded in joining a game in the previous versions of the Beta, even though others could easily join my games when I hosted. Now, with Beta 3, my situation is worse ! In the previous versions, I could easily abort the joining process when it took too much time. Now, when I try to join a game, I get stuck on the full-screen image of the "angels" with swords and sunset. I can move my mouse cursor, but my whole screen is filled by
