Stardock needs to put a lock on LAN gaming. It current state the pirates are having too much fun with no limits. Noone is lan'ing anyways, and its too far yet for tournaments. So just disable lab option.

Pirate.

The disconnected from nat facilitator message means your either getting kicked or you have a problem on your end.  I had this before updating my router firmware.  Given you can't get into a game in 2 hours, I'm gonna say you probably need to fix some settings in order to get into games.  Try connecting the internet cable directly to your pc and see if that makes an improvement.  My bet is that it will, and that will prove that you still have some things to figure out on your own end.  I"m not saying its your fault - I mean 15 years ago sure, but these days games should be easy enough to get working that a 10 year old kid can do it.

I haven't had much problem connecting.  The longest I've had to wait is maybe 2-3 minutes to join a 5/6 game.

The biggest problem I've had is constant extreme lag with some games... not sure the cause.  I'm not entirely convinced it's the game's fault but rather specs, drivers... etc.  The game more or less works.. but until we identify all the possible problems with people's own networks and whatnot it's going to be rocky.

Unfortunetly the game is new so people automatically assume that the game is at fault rather than taking a look at their own stuff which may actually be the issue.  I'm sure they will iron everything out and all this will be a unhappy memory.

=D

I've played a couple of 4/4 and 5/5 games time to join the game has much improved to something like 1 min maybe, about as long as it takes to join a DoW2 game (sometimes quicker).

I've never had a lag issue in a game, I have had a bit of stuttering where the whole game will freeze for like 10 seconds and it makes me think a crash is going to happen but the game so far has always recovered.  This also does not happen that often.

A problem I am seeing is NAT faciltaion error.  The window will pop up, I'll click okay.  The game usually keeps going fine for me for X amount of time.  This last game I was in 4/4 finished dispte that error.

Previously I was in a 5/5 game and the NAT error popped up, played for about another 5-10 mins and then game up and crashed on me back to the desktop.

Overall though after the last few days joining and playing games has been much quicker/easier.  So IMO Stardock is making progress towards improving things.

There is only so many hours a week, yes they should have been more prepaired but they're a pretty new company and new to MP online.  I can only imagine that the next game/launch they'll do better.

True. He had to have preordered to get into the beta, though, so he didn't pirate Demigod.

How do you plan on disabling the LAN tab for the pirated versions that are already out?

how the hell can they turn off lan in a piracy copy of any players home?

this post is just idiot
