Can't connect to some players

I started a thread, probably in the wrong place about this.  http://forums.demigodthegame.com/366766/page/1/#2409306

On the basis of replies, we are not alone.  I came over here to report it, since I haven't seen any replay from SD anywhere to the other posts.

yesterday it was all messed up. tried for 5 hourse to get starting games and barely got around 3 or 4 games starting. never spend so much time in lobby or in the custom games window.

but no, they game is not dead... not even close

I feel ya, but nobody tries to play a dead game for 4-5 hours.  Must be something about it you and it like.

it is not the gameplay that makes it dead. it is the support and the nearly non existing community, the bugs and lack of mp-infrastructure. as i already payed for it and i like the gameplay i still play arround with that cadaver.

but sure, you can ignore the facts only because someone still plays it.

btw. and i did nnot played for 4-5h. i wished to, i waited for 4-5h to get a view games where half of the got discos and all were laggy. you get the point?

you see how much i like the gamedesign itself that i still try to play it?

edit: @spooky__ donnu what it was yesterday but i saw very many people ahving the same problem as the op, including myself. and up to yesterday at least a problem like that i never had.

There is already a thread about this problem and it seems that it is related to the overlay patch: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/366766/page/1/#2409306

yeah, i think the problem come from overlay too. I already screamed on this topic, i hope they will fix this new problem soon.

Spooky_ : I don't understand what you mean, but i know that PortForwarding tell me that my Demigod ports arn't opened.

                But I don't understand the first instruction "Forward the port you want to test in your router to this IP adress ...".

                What's more, I've already opened this ports on my router firewall and on Impulse too.

                I havn't got firewall.

Pre-overlay patch I could connect to anyone at anytime whether it was pantheon or custom game.

Now I cannot get into a game (have been trying for the last hour).  This problem is very unfortunate and definetly is patch related ..

Ultra sadness

In case you missed the other thread, richtofen found the fix for it.........................and it works great.

Quoting richtofen:

just resolve the isue just click in properties in you shortcut for the game in the desktop and add /serverproxyonly in the destiny field....for me and my friends it resolved the issue.....probably will resolve yours

Example:

"C:\xxxxx\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe" /serverproxyonly

You will connect way quicker this way.

Thanks again richtofen

It works ! Thanks man

Even if i'm proxied with everybody now (normal ?).
