Okay, I really hope that the dev' team will read this. I forwarded the ports I'm supposed to, I have no firewall, and I'm playing the v1.00. I have the following issues, and afaik many other people have also experienced them :
- Can't play any game in Pantheon or Skirmish. Either i'm unable to find any games (i tried to wait 30+ min without success), or, when I find a game (2v2, 3v3, whatever...), there are 1 or several AIs and 1 or 2 human players max (sometimes none). I'm not playing online to play with AIs, which totally screw the game by feeding the enemy.
- Custom Games : I can access a lobby, but it's hard to have everyone connect with each other. Often, we have to create a new game and everyone have to rejoin. And eventually we all have green pings (and no 0ms ping). But it's quite random...
When we finally manage to launch a custom game : LAG ! There is a permanent and regular lag which is really annoying, with sometimes monster lag spikes.
And, finally, random disconnection : i played today 5 4v4 games, and we haven't been able to finish even one game with the 8 players. Last game I played, we were 8, and suddenly, at 40min played, everyone disconnected except me, and another player (so it's not me who disconnected cause i could speak to a player, but every other players had been replaced by AIs (0 ping, not responding)).
Okay, I thought the last patch was supposed to fix many issues... But the game is still unplayable.
It's really, really annoying cause it's such a fucking good game, but we can't play it.
One (genuine) question to the devs : why haven't you used a LAN-like networking system, like Hamachi or Garena ? I am a DotA player, and Garena works perfectly to play online with other people. So, what's the difference with Demigod ? Could a similar system work ?
Keep up the good work, and thanks again for this great game. I hope we'll soon be able to finally enjoy it !
