First of all the game worked perfectly from Friday til this morning, Pantheon worked well even though it was mostly AI players, I did play against a few humans and had 0 connecting issues with them. Hopefully these things can help iron out the kinks, but anyhoo here's been whats going on. First 5 Pantheon games I played worked flawlessly, connected to everyone, very little lag, great time, etc...
Now recently...
1. Upon starting Demigod, menu buttons especially Multiplayer ones(Mulitiplyer, Login, Panethon, Custom, etc) cause my computer to hang, I do know its not on my end(and i suspect its somethign to do with connecting to Impulse), well it eventually goes to the next menu selection after a good deal of waiting, although as this happens I cannot alt-tab or task manager as it will show DG not responding and I am forced to exit it cause it will not respond then for sure.
2. Pantheon connecting... Like I said my first 5 games worked perfect. But since then my next 8 have all resulted in the exact same thing. Hit find game, get the "match has been found but not complete" see "connection info box", see 3/4, 5/6, 2/3 etc connect, yet always one does not connect. While talkign with others in the chat while waiting, they ahve the same issue. Now this will just sit with that blank dialog box where "match found" dialog used to be, and we all sit there with connection info, and even if this person cancels out, it will hang there. It does not time out, as I've sat with it open once for 10mns while I went out and let my dog pee on my car's wheel.
3. Nothing big here, just that favor item points have been starting out in the negative for me.
4. Pantheon ranking is showing a loss for a game I canceled out of, while waiting for connection(see #2). Game shows only 1 player me, and it noticed the timer on it and it was during a time I was not able to get a game because of #2. Apparently it was a 30mn game as the timer says, even though it just says me. Not really concerned here, just wondering.
5. A few minor game bugs, but no big deal, mainly number 1 and 2 seem to be a big problem, considering it doesn't allow you play.
Besides all of that, I've found during this weekend when the game worked quite well and the first 5 games I played on Pantheon, that I had an enjoyable time. Hopefully this can get resolved cause I can't sit for another hour or so trying to connect for a game.
