Okay so I've played a bit over this weekend.  Because it seems most of the work on connectivity improvements is being done for custom games, I've broken down and been just playing them.

Here are my findings:

Game 1: Played and finished a 3v3.

Game 2: Crash Hard lock, had to turn off the power supply before I could restart my computer.  Was stuck on a Demigod screen, could not alt tab.

Game 3: Was okay and playing fine.  In the connection window prior to the game we had 1 NAT, 1 Proxy and everyone else nomral.  One guy quit the game and we all started to constantly get a window to pop up with Desink errors.  This window would pop up every 3s or so and when it was up you could not use abilities or powers but had to click the "okay" button to make it go away.  I ended up quiting out of that game once that happened as it was unplayable.

Game 4: While in the middle of the game clicking my hero to do something (multiple clicks, fast clicking) game crashes to desktop.

Game 5:  4v4, ping all looked good, soon after someone showed no ping/connecting.  They dropped, right after that another, soon everyone dropped but 1v1.  I kept playing and so did they, middle of the game BAM Crash to desktop again no errors.

Game 6: 3v3 middle/end of the game doing mutliple clicking again -- game crashes to desktop!  No error just BAM desktop.

So out of 6 games only one went off with out a hitch.

This is not good.  Game still has major issues.  Players need to be able to form up and connect to players 99% of the time not 1/6!!!!!

I can't tell you how fustrating it is to just crash to the desktop with no warning!  Stardock, I love this game and I'll stick it out till the bitter end (cause I know in 3-4 months the game will improve). 

But I'm here to tell you that as far as you think you've come... has hard as you worked and the hours you've put in crunching to try to get people up and running... I hate to say it but your still not there yet...
