Yeah, since the new patch I keep getting stuck with it going back and forth between 'Trying to find a suitable match' and 'A match has been found and is attempting to connect'  messages.

Whereas before it sometimes took a couple tries to get a game with no one stuck trying to connect, it would go pretty fast.

I just played a game after the new patch.  It started well.  Near the end it froze, I thought a player had dropped.  It hard restarted my PC.  Is it just me, Or is this game really hard on the graphic`s card.  I have a 8800gt.  The fan runs at full tilt while playing this and for awhile after.  I`m going to do a test later with Supcom and see what the temp is during a big battle and compare the 2.  The card doesn`t run like this during Crysis.  I think it may be a driver issue.

Ouch thats not a good fix. Seems weird the patch would have caused that though.

I think you guy`s are going in the right direction.  I think better connections is the way to go.  The DG community will continue to grow which will provide a larger playerbase to work with.

In hope of better consolidating information, i would ask the thread opener to close it and point to this thread which already has 26 replies for the same issue.

Scoop26, having same issues

Where you playing Oak and were you placing a flag. I have crashed to desktop twice now no messages. I think it has something to do with collisions of flag and units or structures near me.

This is not your issue then. I know it was a long shot. I don't know how it affects multiplayer I have only seen it happen in single player, and I don't play Oak much in multiplayer only 2 times. But since its placing a flag I would assume it would be in both sp and mp, but it should not affect other players just the player placing the flag I would suspect.

A week later and the game is still unplayable. I dont know what you need to do but i imagine you should have done it before releasing the game.

......client -> host

if you srsly want to walk the p2p line:

Make it so that people won't have to forwardport's (like DoW2)

Make it so that you can select in pantheon (only EU only Asia only USA players)

Make it so that you can see how big the ping is to someone in the custom game lobby, can't be so hard so just "ping IP XY"

Make filter option for the custom game lobby : EU only ping under >100 map only, stuff like that

Make something that detects laggers and if they have a low upload speed get's them behind a proxy so that they only upload to the proxy and the proxy is streaming is informaiton to everyone els (people with 5kp upload cna play with 9 players)

drop me a mail -> reamus@aon.at next time you plan a game and ill test it so this won't happen again, your reputation is srsly damaged.

Start searching in the neighbourhood for 1 minute; then tell that the search is broadend the next minute; then accept all

I guess no one has said this yet so, my main concern is if we start connecting ppl by region then your ladder stats are never going to be a true representation of the skill of the community. Just one example very basic one, it actually gets alot more messed up if you think more into this, say top ranked player is in US and say the 2nd ranked player is in Europe if you start connecting by region then they will never have a chance to play against each other or tegether on the same team. Now think into this alot more into this than just 2 ppl but 100's of thousands of ppl and your ladder will never represent the true skill of the community only the skill of that region versus the skill of another region but then the stats are only based on player not on region.

bumping this i would really like for frogboy to see the suggestions and concerns here
