[quote who="Lost_WLd" reply="11" id="2260164"]Give Braid, World of Goo, Plants vs. Zombies, or Space Rangers 2 a try.[/quote] No point now as apparently the codes went invalid at the stroke of midnight for the 15th. So basically it was only active for 48 hours...
I gotta say, this whole coupon thing has had the exact opposite effect as intended with me. For one, I got the 20% off code, not the 50%, because after managing to get barely two games running, I've been waiting for them to fix the multiplayer code so I can actually play. Then I go to use the code, and apparently it expires not at 12AM on the 16th, but at the stroke of the 15th, which it happened to just pass into as I was making my purchase, which is super.
Several days later and I still can't connect to other players at all. It attempts to match, it just gets absolutely nowhere trying to connect. All the appropriate ports should be getting forwarded. The game was great, for the whole two matches I got to play...
The OP should never be allowed to post on the internet ever again...
At least you can connect. Since I had to change up my network settings, I can't connect to anything anymore. It takes roughly 10minutes just to get the freaking connection data, and then it just sits there, doesn't update, and nobody connects to anybody. I'm forgetting this game even exists until the proxy servers go in. This is rediculous.

[quote who="chaos40" reply="1" id="2153552"]Be patient. Can't believe I'm saying this considering some of the things I've posted recently! But it is true. Sometimes you may have to wait several minutes or more (5 - 6 is not impossible) for a multiplayer match to happen. Stardock is working on this, so I believe, so it should improve soon. I hope!

[quote who="xxplayxx" reply="7" id="2153526"]Kordesh, I'm not sure your problem is related to what I've posted. I'm able to join games and connect to peers without issue. The problem I've described is only when attempting to host Custom games.[/quote] Oops. Guess I didn't quite get what you were getting at. I kinda skimmed over it.
Game was working ok but the last time I played was immidiately after the restart. I switched router configs since then, still have the same ports being forwarded, but now the Connection Information pane stays blank for the better part of forever, and when it finally does update with players, nobody seems to connect to anybody. This is across skirmish, pantheon and custom games.
I haven't been getting NAT facilitator errors, but I haven't been able to connect to any games since I switched over to a new router config. Forwarding the same ports I did last time, no new firewalls, but now it just sits at "Has not connected to anybody" for the better part of forever, and I can't even seem to get updates on other people connecting to other people anymore.
[quote who="Soko10" reply="2" id="2152148"]sigh still no updates =\ sort of ruins the multiplayer experience, what's the point of playing in the pantheon if your rank never increases and you never get any wins . -Soko [/quote] Yeah that's the general feeling I'm having now. Achievements being glitched and rankings not saving properly has kind of put a damper on the whole multiplayer thing, especially considering the whole light
Sadly, I haven't been having to bad of a time with the connection. The lack of ranking/achivements on the other hand...why play anything but custom matches for shits and giggles?
I was in a long pentheon game that, unfortunately, had everyone drop out one by one as time went on either from personal linkdeath or from being DCd in general. I finished up the match against the AI anyway (since it was mostly over) and the second I picked up the All fathers ring, the enemy AI went nuts. The HP regeneration and speed went through the roof, far above what I had with the ring on. It seems like the harder difficulty AIs just take whatever you have and then multiply it on themse
Data updates once every 24 hours, however, this is still a moot point as the ranking system is completely borked and reports random win/lose/game statistics about 90% of the time.
[quote who="weeble1" reply="6" id="2149171"] Quoting DalzK, reply 4meta-critic has it at 50/100 atm - which is what people will look at. Like the end bit about "re-reviewing" - all reviews should do that imo. Maybe there is hope IGN/Gamespot will boost the score if connectivity gets fixed soon? Ask the Ubisoft/Tom Clancy guys how that hope worked out after initial server problems wrecked console EndWar and H.A.W.X., or the GPG guys about Space Siege.[/quote] To be
Connnections have been much better, for me anyway. However, there are still seemingly random drops in games, and the ranking system/achivement system are non-functional at this point as they keep producing false data or rewriting themselves. Unfortunately, this makes Pantheon matches essentially pointless.
[quote who="seevtastic" reply="12" id="2148617"]How about people not leaving games... WOW[/quote] You realize that the multiplayer is highly unstable and drops people against their will randomly right? I haven't seen anyone deliberately ragequit a game yet, but I have had plenty of games where as the hours dragged on, more and more people ended up succumbing to DCs between the duration and the connection issues. I myself got dropped in the middle of an hour long game, which sucked bad
They're losing it because the rankings/achivements are glitched at the moment however, not because of anything you're doing FYI.
You have idiots like that in every game. Unfortuately, with RTS pairing you with only one person rather than a whole team like in other genres, idiots are more likely to open up and blame their teammate directly than simply screaming at their monitor that "their team sucks and they are teh gods of the internet", in private. Especially if you're playing ranked games, in which case expect every 9.5 out of 10 players you're paired with to be egotistical maniacs who care more about a quick win an
You would be surprised how often this happens. I know, you shouldn't treat ANYTHING as secure, but plenty of times devs will consider a system file secure enough as someone would need access to your computer in the first place to harvest it. But yeah, I kinda figured this might happen which is why I generally don't have my username/pass saved automatically
The whole mess is bugged. See my thread about purging this round of Pantheon until the ranking is fixed.
Actually, Gamestop began releasing the game at least 4 days ahead of schedule (at least they did here). Just FYI. But I agree with diz and wbob. Development is not a perfectly planned process where everything goes right all the time. In fact, its a perfectly planned process where just about nothing happens as its supposed to and its a miracle this thing runs at all.
[quote who="JKnuckle88" reply="7" id="2144176"] Quoting Tekkor, reply 5Has there been a dev comment on this issue yet? Even just a "Yeah we are aware of this issue and are working on it..." type thing? Not sure... Granted they working on things prolly more important in the grand scheme everything... But any info would be great. I'd tend to stick to SP games if I know that Favor, Achievements, Rankings, etc, are not working co

This is assuming he's also completely innocent in putting himself in the situation he's in, which honestly I'd put at 50
...What the hell are you talking about? And since when does being a tank="OMG UBEREST THING EVER". I'll have you know, my awesome "UBER TANK!" Oak gets plenty of freaking grief from the Torchbearer and the Unclean Beasts plagues are none too fun either. Methinks someone is getting their ass handed to them in pantheon...
