Played 3 games of Demigod in the past week.  Haven't played in several weeks because of waiting for updates and connection issues to be fixed.  I gave one friend a coupon for the game and the other convinced to buy it a month ago.  One is on the west coast, I am central, and other is on east coast.

We eventually started a 3v3 and all was well til mid game, one of our guys dropped out (crashed with usual demigod fatal error) and AI took his place.  We made to the end-game man down and would have won but our dumb bot died twice and bought several upgrades we did not need. 

Anyways, we stopped after that.  We then tried again several days later when all of us were on and about 10 minutes into the game I dropped this time from the timeout screen (which never even got high).  My ping is always fine, sim speed near 10 constantly, and ports are even open.

We then tried another game after that and the first guy crashed again and it replaced him with a bot.

Now, what exactly is going on?  We can never even play a full game together and it is getting pretty irritating.  I understand you like to hear what is going on to try to fix it, but all of our stuff should be fine and okay.  We scrim all the time together and no internet or computer related problems.  We should not have to disable any firewalls or anything of the sort to be able to stay connected or play together.
