People, for the love of Christ...

from Demigod Forums

People, please understand that this game has SERIOUS networking and connection problems.  As such, it's just common sense that the greater the number of players in your game you are hosting, the greater the chance that you will hear "a player has left the game" as soon as the game starts.  Not only that, but you will sit there for ages waiting for the game to fill up in the first place, due to people having trouble connecting.

Let me try to make this as simple as possible:

1) The bigger your game, the longer you will sit waiting for the game to fill up.  These waits are already substantially long.  With a big game, the waits become huge.

2) The bigger your game, the higher the odds you will hear "a player has left the game" once the game starts.  These odds are already substantially high this will happen anyway.  With a big game, the odds approach 100%.

Therefore, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, will you please knock off the 8 and 10 player games?  Pretty please?  How about having a majority of people host 2v2?  And maybe a minority daring a 3v3?  Pretty please?

From now on....everyone only start 8 player or larger games so we can see Agent of Kharma's head explode. That is all.

For the most part, they work fairly well after the patch up to 3v3 (I haven't tried 4v4). Yes, there are the occasions where someone drops. That's a minority event, however.

Perhaps there is a problem with your connection/firewall/nat?

Relax people, I know you like to sound tough online, i guess its your right, but there is no need for the bashing.

 

Lets make this a bit more of a respectful community.

The worst thing is, I swear to god he was normal in the Sins forums, it's like someone else is now calling themselves that name.

Thank you for the asinine opinion about this game's multiplayer, however I've played 4x 5vs5 games today without any issues what so ever.  Only in one of them was there an issue and that was that the entire enemy team rage quit because we were spanking them back into their citadel area..but that's player error and nothing to do with connection.   Maybe you've just got a bad ISP?

Most games I see are 2 vs 2's and 3 vs 3's. Hmm, maybe it's just the time I play.
