Can't connect to one of my e-friends

Both of us have no issues connecting with anyone else.

When joining a game together it shows him as being connecting to me and me waiting to connect to him forever.  I have ports 6112-6200 open and 6076 while he has DMZ turned on.

 

Any suggestions?

Also experiencing the same issue, we definitely aren't alone there.  There aren't many options except to hope for the patch soon.

Incase he hasn't i will post my guide.

(I have a feeling ive been posting this ALOT lately lol)




I posted this in another thread to help a user but as i browse the 3 different areas to report issues on the forums i see alot of people with issues connecting ... yet it doesn't sound like they are using them proxies! You have to set it up ... yes YOU have to set it up .... Stardock put the servers up you have to tell your client to use em!!!

 

Follow this step-by-step guide and you will be rdy in 5 mins! :).

 

Follow these pics step by step!

 

1)

Open impulse and right click Demigod and click "Open application folder"

 

 

2)

 

Go to the "bin" folder.

 

 

3)

 

Right click on Demigod and make a shortcut to your desktop.

 

 

4)

 

On the desktop right click the icon and go to Properties.

 

 

5)

 

In the Demigod "target" box you will see...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe" (OR SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR. DEPENDS ON YOUR OS.)

 

Change it to this ...

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe" /serverproxyonly

 

(Just basically after the end " just put a space and put /serverproxyonly).

 

Hit apply and ok and then run demigod from your desktop from now on to open it.

 

Note: You MUST LAUNCH DEMIGOD EVERYTIME FROM THIS ICON. NOT FROM IMPULSE OR IT WONT PROXY YOU. WHEN DEMIGOD NEEDS A UPDATE IT WILL TELL YOU IN-GAME TO OPEN IMPULSE AND UPDATE WHEN YOU CLICK THE "INTERNET" BUTTON IF REQUIRED. ONLY USE IMPULSE TO UPDATE THE GAME. ICON TO LAUNCH IT.


Please also note... This WILL NOT fix Pantheon and Skirmish games because that is broken on Stardocks end. Nothing we can do about it except wait for a fix...

Ok im done. Enjoy :yes: .

Gave /serverproxyonly a try even though I don't think that I should need to proxy EVERYONE because the program won't proxy won't person and it still didn't work.  It proxies correctly but then sits there at connection and doesn't let me in the lobby.

Finally got a game going.  Oddly he can connect to me but I can't connnect to him with /serverproxyonly.  It also took us about due to more connection issues than I've ever had in this game before.  Was it just bad luck or somehow related to /serverproxyonly?
