Hi everyone. We will be publishing a new update to the Impulse Overlay soon. This update will: + Fix display bug where some players showed 0% win percentage even when they had played and won games + Cut back on the amount of bandwidth used when connecting to other players in the game + Remove the "% Games Completed" stat from the overlay. At this time, we are unable to accurately track this data. We are working on a solution, though. <p

Hi everyone. We have a new version that fixes a display error in the win percent (some people showed 0% even if they had won games) and cuts down on the amount of bandwidth used when connecting to other players in the game (the new overlay introduced a lot more queries to the CVP server). We'll have this new update ready on Impulse as soon as it goes through testing. Thank you, CodeCritter
Hi everyone. I wanted to let everyone know that we are looking into the problem.
[quote]Also some games are password protected but you wont know until you click on them.[/quote] If there is an asterisk ( * ) by the number of players in a game, it is a password protected game.
[quote]Also, it really REALLY sucks that you can't at least talk to the people you're in a lobby with (or trying to connect to).[/quote] Once you get into the game lobby, there is a chat at the bottom of the screen. Before you get into the game, you can use the CVP IRC chat. Hit SHIFT + TAB and then go to the Chat option on the menu that pops up.
[quote]Frequently custom game listing never lists anything. If I try to host and get this error: HostGame in CVP failed.[/quote] Try making an exception for demigod.exe in your Windows firewall settings, or turn off your firewall. This is a common cause for not being able to host a game.
You may be seeing NAT disconnection messages when the host has cancelled a game, or when you've been kicked from a game, or if the game has already started while you're trying to connect. The new update will have much more descriptive messages about what is happening.
"Then when i load in, Bam, i'm up against all kinds of bots and no one is there. IF it isn't me that drops, the only people to manage to make it in, are the people with the connection info. the blanks never pass this point, and are replaced with AI." The blanks that you see are not people who cannot connect. They are AI players. We have replaced the blanks with "AI Player" labels for the new update.
