yeah pantheon games connect horribly slow also, ive had games where I sit there 10+ min waiting for a game to start after it connects to all the players

There aren't "bugs" in connection code as much as it needs to be identify players whose routers are too difficult to traverse.  We are working on updates in the coming days that will give players more control over the connection in games.

As for the pantheon games, when there are very few people online, it will take longer for it to find opponents. This is already changing even as the game is made available.

That's because without a router you're not even connected to the internets ZOMG!!!!1!1!one

I would guess your NIC is having trouble opening all the similtaneous ports, just as a guess.

IC my modem is a router and wireless access point

Also, please don't quote "not enough players" ... There are plenty of people if you

pull up the chat screen (shift-tab). And, according to this forum, they are all having

the same issue.

I respect that you stay on top of the forums, and make an effort to reply, but please

do not feed us pap. We just want to play the game. I think everyone involved wants

us to be able to easily and pleasantly play the game.

We are gamers, not children. You don't have to feed us a line to pacify us, just be

straight. It will be better for everyone in the long run.
