Looking at the current server stats, it appears to be about a 50/50 split between beta and non-beta games.
No, it's more like 99% non-beta/1% beta. I just loaded up Demigod with the latest beta patch, and there were zero games to be found. So, I am currently uninstalling/reinstalling because I actually want to PLAY some games.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with pancakes here in that there's almost nobody playing the beta patch. I had 0 games pop up in the 45minutes I was waiting last night and only one game this afternoon which was only a 2vs2 where everyone DCed before the game started so it was me with a bunch of bots. I might just have to downgrade myself out of this Beta patch and go into the normal game just to get games.
Speaking of which, it's been a while now, how come GPG/Stardock hasn't made the "Beta Patch" a normal patch so that everyone's on the same page instead of splitting their playerbase like this? I mean, right now it's hurting that some players cannot play with others because of different versions (although it's a great thing against pirates, it sucks for normal customers).
