First, a question...Do you have a broadband internet connection? Second, a comment, a 900 ping in a multiplayer peer to peer game is going to cause horrible lag for most of the people playing, that's likely why you're being kicked, not over any personal issue. I'm not sure if it's the routing of your packets to get to the games you try to play, the quality of the connection, (or it's just being slow as hell) or if you're using a dial up modem. I've had lower pings to hong kong and Russia is why I say what I say. If you don't have broadband, don't count on running the online version of the game well.

Head over here and please post back here the information the website gives you - the little picture detailing your internet connection.

Do you play any other online Video games?

ok on adsl connection  ,   and yes i play few other games  "Red Alert 3" "Company of Heroes " "Wow" " Cod4" usually my ping is not hte best 250-450   but its playable but it seems demigod needs a better connection however i managed to play 1v1 with 0 lag  but my net can't handle 3v3 which is the most playable   on demigod im sure 2v2 would be fine

 

another question ?

 

is there any type of automach which u can choose if u wanna play 2v2,3v3,etc,etc ?

thanks for the reply guys

No sorry, there aren't any Auto-match options to chose how many people in your game.

It would seem your connection might lack the upload speed required; the most I can play myself is 3v3 due to my upload. I'm not sure if there are any ways to decrease your ping for Demigod specifically, I certainly haven't come across any myself.

ManOwaRR, I was getting a ping of 300 to you in a 3v3 (lobby). I'm hoping you should be able to play 2v2, but I'd stick with EU players as much as you can so that you are closer. But, most likely it is your upload speed. You can test your speed here:

As we discussed before, your download speed of 4 Mbps (512 KBps) is sufficient, your upload speed is the limiting factor here.

I have an upload speed of 1 Mbps (128 KBps) and I can play 5v5 just fine with both EU and AUS players (I'm in the US). If I recall correctly, the minimum upload speed for a lag-free 3v3 is about 400 Kbps, and 500 Kbps should work just fine.

If you are meeting that criteria and still having ping/upload issues, I recommend trying to forward your ports, that may help.
