Welcome to DemiGod - ENJOY!
Join the club - I've given up!
Demigod is broken for many customers with no relief in-sight. I'm sorry to say that this otherwise fun game will not come close to reaching its commercial potential. It is quickly shaping up to be a lose/lose proposition for GPG/SD and players alike (IMHO).
[ well one person can lose the game for an entire team because they lack fundamental knowledge of how the game works. [/quote] well then just play a passwd entry game with your expert friends 516 people in the open community are free to play the game anyway they want
Fanboy propaganda aside, lets face it - the online game is broke for many people. The international people are going to have the same litany of problems everyone else is experiencing. I hope word of mouth doesn't kill this game before the "PATCH". Problem is most of the other patches were supposed to fix the online game and here we are. There will be a small and dwindling online community if online is not fixed very soon.
I wish I could help you but I'm stumped. I've had tons of errors running DG and luckily my computer still boots. I won't even launch the game until they fix it FOR REAL. I hope your situation serves as a warning to new players. As it stands today, this software is TOXIC.
There must be a lot of "regional problems" then because people all over the world are having online problems but just with DG (oddly enough). Lets face facts - the online game is essentially broken for a significant number of paying customers and I for one do not see a fix on the horizon.
I feel your pain but SD seems to be skirting this issue saying "well online play is working for most players". Well guess what - I paid as much money for the game as "most people" but I still cannot play (10-20K pings). My advice to you is get your money back before you waste countless hours tryin to get this pile of #$%@#$ workin. Sorry for the rant but I'm so fed up with Demigod.
I agree with Vladesch. It seems to me that issue #3 is paramount. What good is having all these game tweaks and modifications when a lot of folks still cannot connect faithfully and/or complete a game without lag crashing. First things first - this game is still a connection nightmare and more more people are starting to write it off. If you want a healthy online community, the connection issues must be resolved ASAP.
WELCOME to DEMIGOD!!!
I'm still gettin huge ping values (2000 - 20,000ms). Any ideas? Verizon DSL? What's up with that cause I still can't play.
I've taken this approach but I still get very high pings (anywhere from 2000 - 20000ms). So basically, anytime I connect everyone tells me to get lost (rightfully so). It has basically been solve one problem to get to the next problem and I still cannot play 1+ month after release. That is totally unacceptable. I'm outta here![e digicons]>:([/e]
I'm in the same boat. I cannot begin to tell you how many hours I've spent trying to get this game to work. I'm ready to walk away now and sympathize with you. Don't waste too much time on what appears to be a hopelessly flawed game.
OK - I tried the "/serverproxyonly" and got it to work BUT my pings are still 2000-5000ms (FRAK!!!). I'm on Verizon DSL. Could that be the problem? Any recommendations?
My mp is still crappin the couch. Will this EVER be fixed???
Count me in. I have the same problem - players run when they see me coming. I basically connect to the host and one or two others with a very high lag and then cannot connect to certain people. Thought the latest patch (proxy sewrvers) might fix it but nope. Connections seem a little better but the lag is still horrible (500 - 2500ms). SD, do you folks have a fix coming or is this game finally dead for me???
I certainly appreciate Brad, SD, and GPG's dedication to getting this thing straightened out. I guess my main fear now is that this whole proxy server thing is not going to be the magic bullet it is being billed as. Trust me, I pray to Oak that it is but I have this quesy, sinking feeling everytime I patch, get excited, only to have the same litany of problems all over again - fingers crossed.[e digicons]:\[/e]
When are folks who are still getting poor connectivity (pings 2000-5000 ugh!) going to get some relief SD?
Yea! I went from not being able to connect to not be able to connect AND numerous CTDs (happened very rarely before). I hope someone out there is benefiting from this latest effort. Hope to see ya all online someday - as for now - I'm goin to bed.[e digicons]XO[/e]
I have no doubt that despite all the problems, DG will be a commercial success. The opportunity that was missed was DG had the potential to be a BLOCKBUSTER. I know hindsite is 20/20 and that SD and GPG have been working hard to make the best of these unfortunate events. Nevertheless, I keep seeing that fly ball towering toward deep center field, back, back, back and then bounce off the cushion. Well I'm sure SD/GPG are happy to have the triple. We'll now see if they can bring in the run
So basically now we have a majority (?) of players who no longer have connectivity problems and have moved on to bigger and better complaints and those (like me) who are riddled with connectivity problems and are viewed as lepers while trying to play. We are the ones to get the enjoy the "lagger, kick em Ha ha" messages etc. It seems SD is winding down on the connectivity issues and moving on when many of us you payed for the game are still sitting here a month later flapping in the wind unab
MAPS, MAPS, and MAPS!!!!
Latest Patch put me in the BAD to WORSE category. I was able to get the rare 2x2 going but now nothing. Basically, I'm still getting in the lobby quick and then I see 0 ms for all players but the host. Then, I sit and sit and sit (and did I mention sit) while nothing resolves and then the host politely asks me to leave. I spent 1.5 hrs the other night trying to connect and did not get a single game. Please get those proxy servers online - I'm losin my faith in (demi)god. [e digicons
I'm prepared to cross-fingers and hope for the best. I really like the game and can't wait to play online. It has been frustrating for everyone but we've made it this far so lets take another plunge - maybe we'll strike gold this time.
