The biggest Demigod discovery ever!

from Demigod Forums

I don't know how many people know this already; but Rawrr, Renzo and I were informed by some Russian players today that if you switch the map frequently while hosting a lobby, the game will never crash.  I haven't tested this enough to say that it's a 100% verified but I played a lot today without a single crash since I started doing this, even after almost putting together a 5 vs 5 with people constantly leaving/getting kicked.  Whatever map I was playing on I would just switch to prison, then switch back every minute or so or right after kicking someone.  Try it for yourselves and post here if it seems to work.  Just to be clear this is lobby crashes that I'm referring to, before the game starts.

I think you only have to do it after every action that happens in the lobby.  i.e. someone drops, change maps.  kick someone, change.  

 

But ya.. amazing discovery lol.  Srsly how did this go unnoticed so long!

WAY TO GO MCSHANE..... probably didn't help that I posted an April Fools joke on these forums shortly after this.

 

But srsly.. it's real.. I promise.. Pinky swear.  If you triple dog dared me to tell the truth, I'd still concur.

Hahaha oh man, yea I forgot about that.  Probably should've waited til tomorrow to post this, but honestly, not an April Fools joke.

Alright, April Fools is over, and I'm still serious, this works.  Give it a try.

IMO lobby crashes are likely to occur because you load most of the game when entering into the lobby (not when you click start) and again everytime someone new leaves/joins, the changing of maps would refresh the hosts files often enough to prevent you running out of memory.

just my 2 cents.

Yea, I discovered that if you do it to much, it seems to create a new bug lol.  People in your lobby get fatal errors and crash, then you crash too.  So who knows, if you ever run into Chur86 or Akumrise they're the ones who know the exact science behind it, try to find out from them, but english is not their first language.

That's not true.  I have tried that 'trick' quit a few times and it still crashes.  (but does not crash a lot for me as I am awesome)

 

The End.

most time i play in catarat and never crash;and critical error is not a crash or a bugg is the weapon for looser´s with great stat´s

I read that as "looser apostrophe s with great stat apostrophe s" and was confused for a minute until I realized that you meant "losers with great stats."  :dur:

I still doubt that this works. You could post some videos of it working with 5v5 matches to persuade me.
