Can we get an ETA on fixes?

from Demigod Forums

1.1 did a lot of nice things, but it also has a few shockingly bad bugs.  I realize that people are moving away from Demigod to other projects now so we wont have as much communication, but I'd really like to have a rough idea of when some of the most annoying things are going to be fixed.

For starters:

Hosting nonsense - Stats are completely meaningless due to the Host Quit nonsense.  We had a stat reset and made people go through the pain of getting favor wiped in the process, but things are just as bad now because a Host can choose to never lose a game if they wish.  Stats in general are pretty fishy still since a lot of the results dont make any sense (for example, I have a loss yesterday where it was a 1 person game - only me - and I somehow lost).

Random DGs - Yeah, I dont think much needs to be said here.

Rebuying favor items every game - Not a big deal, but it completely ruins the point of favor.

Frankly none of this stuff should have made it past the testing phase.  I mean, you add a Random DG feature and NOBODY can start a game with it?  Come on now.  But I'm not here to complain about shoddy quality control really.  I'd just like some indication that the right people are thinking about this kind of stuff and would like to know when its going to be fixed.

Maybe all this stuff has been answered and I just havent found the response.  If thats so, somebody can point me to the correct post.

...that's not working.

And please add to that list: crashes. Before i had none (except when i was alt tabing), after 1.1 it crashes like hell, randomly. And by reading the forums, i'm not the only one.

Happens to me too. First match I played after the patch the game crashed on me for the first time ever, right after my team started making a comeback. Didn't exactly leave me with a good first impression.

Yeah last night I got 3 crashes in a row so I reboot my computer and the game ran fine.  Might be some memory leak going on :annoyed: .  Before this patch the only crash I would get is the silly alt-tab one.  And that was rare.

Yeah, as somebody hinted at, you can select a random demigod, but you cant start the game if anybody has selected a random DG.  The feature is completely broken.

you all have not realized this but her it is. they do not test shit cause if they did alot fo the bs that gets introduced after patches would not be there. i mean how does random not work.

i second that. i come back from holidays to play some nice games, but not once was i able to finish one yet, because i get some unhandled exception every game. I had that once in a lifetime before the patch.

more frequent crashes... 2 out of 2 games tonight have crashed... prior to this version - 1 out of 40-50 or so crashed.

The reason I didnt list crashes is because that can often be a harder problem to fix.  It involves the workings of a large range of computers and its pretty understandable if they still have some work to go there.

But the things that I listed dont work right on ANY system and really shouldnt have made it past any kind of reasonable quality control.  And they should be easier to fix too I would think.

Crashed again here, 3 crashes in total for tonight. Yay for patch!

I'm going to start creating posts for my crashes.  Someone posted this list before, but please do the same if you are having crash issues.

1.     Identify whether any problem you are having is considered a connectivity problem or "other"

2.     If it is a connectivity problem: create a thread in the "Demigod Connectivity Help" forum: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/559

3.     If it is something else, create a thread in the "Demigod Problem Reports" forum: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/549

4.     If you really want to help: go to your My Documents->My Games->Gas Powered Games->Demigod folder, zip your ImpulseReactor.log, DemigodLog.txt, CVPMultiplayerEngine_XXX.csv and MiniDump.dmp files, and email them to [email protected]. Make sure you mention the thread title in your email. Even more helpful would be to provide a link back to your thread in the email.

5.     If you really want to help: describe everything about the problem, no matter how trivial it seems, in the thread and the email

Well, i've sent them an email already. Should i sent them everytime it crashes? It crashes too often, lol...

Dead Ghost - the more info they have, the more likely they can track down the problem... so yeah, I'd put up forum posts and send the logs for a good amount of your crashes.  Here's one of my posts... maybe compare and see if you have anything similar going on - http://forums.demigodthegame.com/357636.  I was able to play several games after my crashed ones, but I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing crashes in the future.

I also would like to see an ETA, or at least an acknowledgement that 1.1 is borked and they are working on a fix ASAP.  Instead all we're getting is a request for what we want to see in 1.2.  Newsflash: they already know what we wanted to see in 1.1, try dealing with that first.

For those of you who have had crashes, what LANGUAGE is your Windows PC in? (English, German, etc.)?

The pattern on the problems almost makes me think there's an issue with a string or something.

I have had crashes on the English (U.S.) version, 1.10.

Reply #18 from Demigod Forums Top

English, US (the OS). Retail dvd (also from US, bought before EU release).
