Heh, wait till peak hour (around midnight GMT I think). Usually there's 20+ games in the custom games bit easy. 

Thank you for the reply. It's a shame (though likely inevitable) that peak times are largely inacessible to those of my geographical location.

Thanks again for the reply; plus one karma pour vouz!

Where you located?

In the UK. I know the game has not been officially released here but I was so damn impressed with the version I acquired that I bought the Direct Download version off Impulse the second I found it.

Seriously, great job on the game: I flipping love it!

As someone else said, many, many people are waiting for all this connectivity stuff to be fixed.  My brother for example, works ten hour shifts then gets home and only has a few hours to himself before he has to go to bed.  He tried putting up with Demigod for a few days then gave up as he could only get 1 game in at night time as it takes forever to get a game going.  He said he will give Demigod a few weeks until (if) he returns.

That sounds mega-sexy! I'm an active player of a good few MMOs (intermittently, I have very little money so I play one MMO a month and tend to buy one game a month (all the more compliment to you that I chose to buy your game this month!)) and I love the guild/clan system in MMOs but I've always pondered why casual online games have failed to pick up on it. Games in clan-matches are so much more intense as you all come to know one anothers' play-style and you all come to feel a real kinship.

Ouch! Tell your brother I sympathise! I have roughly 2 (perhaps three depending on how productive my previous day was) hours per day to play games so I can really sympathise with your brothers' troubles! It sounds like I've been pretty lucky: my one tournament match was put together in perhaps a three minute wait. Although it was massively unfair on the opposition (it was two Erebii versus one human Regulus and an AI Rook and, of course, we smashed them to bits) and I can appreciate how hard that must have been on the guy whom found himself with an AI and had to abandon the match halfway through due to the sheer impossibility of defeating two players.

Ehh... there were definitely more people around before and I have seen more Custom Games before. Really sad, this was a really good game.

I get about 5-6 games in a night, mostly 2v2, but occasionally 3v3, its a blast to play, its going to be awesome once they can start adding DLC to it, if you want to call it that, seems so consolish heh.

I've been able to get a game every time I've tried...

But I do play late, between 9pm-6am EST.

If you bought it at a store and you haven't installed the update (from Impulse), then you need to patch or you'll be on a different server from everyone else (as far as I understand it).

I updated it through the Impulse client (at least, as far as I can tell!) and when I go into the game and use shift+tab to bring up the impulse client the update option is greyed out, I presume this means it's updated?

"Run-Fine" is a personal opinion.  Sadly if you have any of these "run-fine" people load up WC3.... they won't think Demigod runs fine anymore.  Its not even completely about lag so much anymore... as it is about this game requiring a computer that is WELL above what it should.

I'm runnin a 3.0 core2  with 8800 gt.   It runs every game i've ever tried perfectly fine... including demi god if i'm playing by myself.  2v2 is ok.  3v3 is very sluggish and slow but still playable.  4v4 and higher is a crawl for EVERYONE.   Its almost turn-based its so friggin slow.  Assuming you can keep everyone connected.

And this game has apparently been released EVERYWHERE... because when playing on game-ranger with a legit copy running latest version... We are getting tons of people allover the world joining.  Many of which won't survive long with connection issues but they are running a legit copy (or a copy updated to latest version).
