UB, when chasing a demigod, will pause and do nothing if you tell him to cast a spell (such as grasp).

We haven't seen any crashes in our testing.  Could you send us your .dmp files? They will be in your demigod directory that's in the my games area of my documents.

I have also experienced lobby crashes yesterday.  The quality of the programmers coding is such that you would have thought they were on crack when making the fixes.  Yet, having worked in the games industry, I don't even blame them.  The games industry is about slave driving to the max; game programmers are the most overworked, underpayed software programmers that you will find.  And I say this in retrospect, having worked in the telco, cartographic, financial, gaming and simulations industry.   

Game programmers' work hours, especially in the lead up to a release are typically 7 day weeks, late nights, sometimes sleeping in the office; all this of course with no overtime pay.  Its downright unhealthy and plain abuse.  Now imagine all that slavedriving COMBINED with the pressure of having to fix crucial bugs POST release.  You are already burned by the time the game is released and now this - critical bugs that MUST be fixed post release because after all this work the devs realize people might drop their game if it continues to bug out on them.

Solution?  The developers clearly need a vacation of 2 weeks to disconnect their minds from this game and to come back and face the problems with fresh minds.  Too bad if the community has to suffer during that time - no point making fixes if you are gonna screw things up further.  To the managers of this project; stop the slavedriving.  Give the devs a vacation and announce it so I can play some other game in the meanwhile; I will definitely come back to this one coz this one has got plenty of potential.  As it stands though, its just not stable enough.

its not just sedna, its all demigods, you cast spell/ability on someone from a distance and your guy will stop about half way through, then proceed to have a seizure until you manually click on the ground and move him.  great when you spit someone, then que up foul grasp, only to see your guy stop mid way through, at least previous bug your guy did nothing from the start so u could just start clicking early to break it, but this one is just like haha %^&& you lose

You right about sedna's bug.

This new bug is not such a big problem but i've missed 1 or 2 kills yesterday because of that.

There's still bugs, but it seems better IMO.  I don't know I can attest to the AI being much better yet though.  All I care about is my bite goes off more often; that's worth a week without a patch in my book.

I have not had the lobby crashes that the OP is talking about and I played several games last night.  The Demigod bug is something that I noticed even pre-patch.  If your DG is slightly faster than the other DG, then your DG will get just within range and then abort it's attack - plus you fall behind.  I now always move to a position ahead of the DG and manually attack when they get within range - annoying.

I would have to agree that the game overall is more "glitchy" for me with this patch.  I really haven't had any major issues with the game itself (not connectivity) since release other then then Sedna bug.  But now I actually see pathfinding issues.  Click a tower to attack that just around the corner and your DG will get stuck and not get to it yet get hammered with tower lightning cause he's close enough.  Ouch.  Also some weird camera issues at times.

Wow... only in America do we find the solution to a problem = 2 weeks vacation.

I took a 2 week vacation from the game, and I haven't played it in about a month now... I'm distracted with other games that I've been playing for years that don't have critical problems (like Guild Wars), and think about Demigod once in a while, but haven't gotten the balls up to load it yet... if I hadn't registered my key and installed this game before checking what everyone was talking about it wouldn't be sitting on my shelf and I could have saved $80.

One of the problems is a desire to reinvent the wheel. Why would a game like this require a P2P (host-to-host) multiplayer? When all you have to do is click on a demigod to attack it and the rest is resolved via AI routines, why can't that be resolved by the host of the game on a host-to-client setup. If it works well enough to play a FPS, why wouldn't it work for a strategy game, especially when clicking does not determine where the strike occured?

It baffles me that any one person would attempt to claim that the fundamentals of online gaming are broken! A client-to-host multiplayer experience could have been written in no time, has far less latency issues, and has lower bandwidth requirements. It also runs far less risk of having problems due to desynchronous users. Without some robust resync routines (requiring yet more bandwidth and causing more latency issues) it seems there'd be more crashing, dropping, and weird bugs.

I had the crash to desktop from the lobby thing happen too.  I did not think too much of it; thought it was just a weird glitch, now I see others got it too.  Guess I'll send in my dump file to help.

I had the same problems with UB and stun not firing off. If I'm chasing a demi and he runs through creeps, my UB will sometimes stop and swipe at a creep, do a 360 and then continue to chase ( I think it continues to chase but not sure since I'm clicking like mad on the demi)

I also get the lobby crash.
