Reply to Legendary Heroes Beta Now Available in Press Releases (FE) Elemental Forums

The Steam part is really bad news. Steam has got to be one of the worst services made. It is down hours every day, has terrible customer service and is run by someone who hates competition and wants to rule the digital distribution world while not making Steam stable or friendly. I have been through many nightmares with Steam and their service, the best example being Borderlands. Selling you an unplayable game because of DRM and then refusing to give a refund or anything, just saying to

Whenever I try and use the explore button to make any army auto explore, it seems to do nothing at all.

Two things I noticed that are issues are: 1.) Ships can be loaded into other ships. Doesn't seem this should be allowed. 2.) When selecting units and moving them into the fog I often do not get the marker showing my units have a real destination. I never know if they are actually set to go where I hope they are or not.

Reply to Internet Explorer 9 in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I think the largest issue with people migrating to IE9 is business. Unfortunatley my company (22,000 employees) has so many legacy applications and web tools that we are stuck on IE6 forever. No one in IT has the spine to to tell various business groups to get rid of their legacy stuff or else. But I am looking forward to IE9 for my own personal use for sure.

I hope it will work well. I certainly do not like Steam and would like to see Impulse be the big name in town.

One problem with Impulse Reactor... at least in Demigod, it simply didn't work. Doesn't matter much to me, I can't stand playing games on the internet anyways. It's all about the LAN. =)

I have tried forwarding all ports from 6000-6999 both TCP and UDP to my computers internal IP address. I have enabled 1-to-1 NAT to my machine with one of my public static IP's. Nothing works. Also, I don't know about this proxied connection thing, but I have never seen it even attemept to use it. How does this work? Why has 0 info been provided about the proxied connections?

Reply to SUPPORT: Solving Connectivity Problems in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Ok, so 4th update in 2 days now. I am not sure on the details of the proxied connection but.... I find that I still cannot join games. In the connection details window I always connect to the host and no one else. And no one connects to me. When using the proxied connection, do any ports need to be forwarded or opened? I haven't seen any details of this new scheme yet.

Ok, yet another new update that didn't fix anything. Very sad. EDIT: And another update today, that's #2. So I have forwarded all ports from 6000 - 6999 to my internal IP on my Watchguard Firebox and still nothing.

WE all need one of two things from you . 1. A way to get a refund due to the game not preforming correct. OR 2. A fix to this immediately. I am not saying this with an angry tone just a disappointed one because at this point I honestly feel this is a waste of money. [/quote] Agreed. There isn't much of a single

Reply to SUPPORT: Solving Connectivity Problems in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

This is a silly setup if you have to forward ports and not just open ports. I have alot of computers in my house on the same connection that all play DG. So for one to play, I would have to forward the ports to that IP? A game shouldn't take this much work to play. I am pretty disappointed with Impulse Reactor.

Reply to SUPPORT: Solving Connectivity Problems in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Hettikus, I do not have anti-spam, anti-virus or anything running on it, just basic firewall and VPN server. I removed all ports from the blocked list in the 6000 range as well as created a custom policy to allow all ports in that range through to the internal network. Still no luck. Unfortunately I don't have Fireware Pro software to watch realtime what is happening with the connections.

No, I have a block of statics, I have multiple servers outside the firewall that need them. I also removed all ports in the 6000 range from the blocked list.

I have never been able to join an internet game with my current setup. I use CenturyTel DSL with a Westel Modem. Then I have a Watchguard Firebox. I have a block of static IP's, one of which the Firebox uses. It's a model x10e by the way. Anyways, it has all of the default configuration our of the box and doesn't allow Impulse Reactor to work. I created a custom policy to allow traffic on the required ports to all destinations, but it will not work. A

I have never been able to connect to a game or have anyone to connect to my game in any beta version. I am not a huge fan of the Impulse Reactor technology, it doesn't play nice with alot of routers/firewalls.
