[BUG] Can't Join or Host Games Successfully

This is likely general knowledge but I don't see a repository or any tips based on our latest build.

January 18, 2009 10:07:32 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I continually try and fail to join games.  Sometimes with the same people that I have success playing with (maybe 1 in 8 tries.)  I am at a loss, I want to playtest the multiplayer portion (which is what Beta 2 is all about, right?)  However I am very rarely able to even get into a multiplayer game.

 

From what I hear I am not alone, is there a fix or resolution or tips for people trying to host or join?  Do we need to fully close the game each time we fail to have a real shot at it for the next one?

I agree, its about 1/8 tries I can get into a game for me so I usually just host, and I have played with a player here a player there if they are lucky in connecting to me.  It's so hit and miss...

I hate to beat a dead horse, but is GPG/Stardoc aware that people are having such a hard time?  From what I read, Betas 2A and 2B were to make sure the multiplayer and connectivity worked...but it seems to me that it *doesn't* reliably work.  And Beta 3 is supposed to start Thursday???

 

I read originally that with this new system, and using things like tunneling and such, the hope was that all users could both join and host, regardless of firewalls and other things that would slow them down.

 

Would we see better luck if we tried to host on specific ports and setup forwarding on those ports?  What about the Auto-Port?  That seems to always use 6073...

 

Also it seems that, and I could be wrong, but when a users who fails to join can't get in...effectively it screws the game and now nobody can join.

I noticed in the latest build that my friend and I can't get join a room made by one of us after we've played a match. We have to exit the whole game and restart it to play a second game.

I have connected to one game since beta 2 began.  It's slightly furstrating to see that Trying to Connect screen nowadays, actually.

Stardock and GPG are aware and working on it.  I promise you that we want this to work *more* than you.

I'm a bit dissapointed as well. I was expecting a 70% success as was advertised for beta2b, but I seem to be at the same level as before
