Today I've been getting these strange pauses in between clicking buttons. At first I thought the game was just hanging but I let it run for a few minutes and then it went to the next screen. Taking almost three minutes to go from the main menu to the Pantheon bit and then another five minutes,
Server issues. Happens sometimes. Restart the game can help but other than that be patient or join the IRC channel to see whats up.
I got told I was connected to a non connected player or a player I shouldn't be connected to, then the game crashed form a C++ exception.

And while I'm posting this, Impulse is damned bloody slow! It took me almost five minutes to get from starting it up to this thread and whenever I try to go to the chat section in the Community tab, type in /join #demigodgame, no room pops up.
After reading this, perhaps all the "slowness" is someone that is using your connection? All your upstream is taken? When these lags happen, I would recommend browsing to (non cached) websites to see if the problem is impulse or your internet.
