In middle of game, I get disconnected from everyone!

May 31, 2009 11:15:51 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Hi,

    I have been playing DG since it was first released.  The game has always been running fairly well, (with the exception of nat issues that were introduced, and then resolved with updates).  With the most recent update, I have encountered a new issue which is really frustrating.  I'll be playing along in a good game, doing well, and will hear the "A player has left the game", the screen will display the names of ALL OTHER players as having left, and I will be playing with ONLY AI players.

From what I've read, this is a symptom of me disconnecting from all the players.   This sounds kind of like the "ping spike" issue I've read about, but am not sure.

I have not experienced this issue until the most recent update, and had rarely experienced a disconnect once having begun a game.

I am currently running v1.00.091 (displayed from impulse), Windows XP, and am using a DIR-655 (v1.21).  

My intent in reporting this issue is to either:
1.  Begin a new thread.
2.  See if there is already a thread which I should be reviewing.

Thank you for your time,
M

Some users have also reported that when one person quits/drops, they can take another with them. So unless this happens to you all the time, it is possible that there's nothing wrong on your end and you're just the victim of that issue.

Thanks,

     It's an "intermittent" issue, but is important to me, because I don't want to appear as a quitter in any game.  When I begin a game, I make a comittment to remain online through the game, no matter how it plays out.

I'll post an update if I find a solution.

This happened to me twice today, really annoying. Especially since it was a clear win and in the end it is counted as a loss. (I played it till the end, won it and a few minutes later Pantheon showed it as a loss)

Almost makes me think about people exploiting this when they see they are losing...

I also experience this quite often, someone will ragequit or disconnect and it will often cause most of the other players connections to split from each other. It seems to mostly happen when it's the host who rages/disconnects, it's really very unfair for 2 people to suddenly be in a game with 6 AIs because one butthurt guy ragequit.

FYI: I also have UPnP disabled....happened again this morning.  I got the 30 second screen for a different player, and was left playing all AI.

It has happened to me quite a few times as well. THis occurs in skirmish and pantheon for me, not in custom.
