Brad, Don't let the "[b]modern entitlement-baby[/b]" (as it was so aptly put by someone else in another thread) get you down! There will always be people confusing "[b]privilege[/b]" with "[b]right[/b]" and sadly that can't be helped (save the next generation of parents growing a brain/balls and kicking some ass again!) People need to remember: Just because we enjoy "rights" in ou
I loves the Monkey Island games.......ooh memories....take me back to the Apple II days....;)
Thanks for the suggestions..... As it turns out....I already own [b]Making History - The Calm & The Storm[/b] (courtesy of an [i]Impulse-buy[/i] hehe ;) ) which I enjoy alot (reminds me of Axis and Allies the board-game which I played to death as a kid!) Another series I've always enjoyed is the [b]Hearts of Iron series[/b]. I see [b]HOI 3[/b] is slated for release sometime this fall... the Mon
If it's a killer RTS you're after, you absolutely can't go wrong with "Men of War". Check out the thread I posted about MoW here: Thread about "Men of War" Nothing else in recent history (last 10 years) has been as deserving of attention as MoW, unfortunately its largely unknown, which is sad.
Great news! Once again......SD ftw! ;)
[quote who="Dead Cell" reply="3" id="2228271"]Im having very similar issues and im a pc retard when it comes to forwarding ports and all that stuff. If someone could give me a step by step "guide" on how to open the right ports and anything else that may be screwing my online experience i would be grateful [/quote] Networking and DEMIGOD
I lol'd......thanks for that! hehe (we all have stories like that I'm sure..........mine is somewhere along the lines of clicking "shutdown" on a remote DC instead of "reboot" :P)
Could it be that your ISP modem is also functioning as a router? That would create a "double-NAT" scenario and first thing you will need to do is either: -- place your router's WAN IP into the DMZ of fhe ISP modem. -or- -- forward all UDP traffic on the specified ports from your ISP modem to your router, and then forward all UDP traffic on those same ports from your router to your PC.
[quote who="Rudolf Smits" reply="9" id="2213478"]I go for Speedball 2 Tournament. Game was never finished by the develloper (promise was made do to so with a grant update/patch, never happened...) Played 2 or 3 times (bought a gamepad for it to) and after about 3 weeks, or so, the online severs were down. The end of it. Was a great game on the Amiga 500 thats why I bought it, but it ends for me at the places one, two and three in worsed games ever.[/quote] &

[b] @ DemiCom[/b], here's quoting myself from a different thread.......... [quote] As I've posted about earlier, I don't believe "forwarding" of ports is even the bigger issue here. The biggest issue with Demigod is that the level of NAT- filtering (either on out-going or incoming connections) is breaking things. Unfortunately many people's setups don't allow for changes to the level of NAT- filtering being applied

[quote]I love you Stardock, but there is no other RTS out there where I have to forward 100 or 200 ports. That seems beyond unnecessary. Even via your own post you indicate that in Supreme Commander people only needed to forward ONE: 6073 (UDP I assume). Why does Demigod need a range of at least 100, if not more? I assume these ports are UDP, but unfortunately, most of the time this information is omitted in posts explaining what we need to do. Please, it's important. Do we forward
[quote who="schloob" reply="1" id="2187112"]I think it is bad for somoene with veto power to prowl the forums. Half of the people with negative opinions are too scared to say them so you get a lot of "this game is pretty good/ok/fun" with absolutely no critique on the dozens of negative factors. Also, you get critical but thought provoking threads locked down with a vengeance. Anyways, just my opinion.[/quote] Yeah and every "praise for Stardock" threa

So pleasee, be mindfull if you have already answear this question prior, but in facy "Port switch to DSL.pdf" crap I keep reading. I have no clue what it means. I don't even know what a port is, let alone how to open a port. So here is my problem. I'll log on, everything is fine and dandy.

comanoodle, I have personal experience with ISP's "prioritizing" traffic, and it IS easy as hell for any competent ISP to screw with ANY type of P2P traffic. Even if they simply drop a few P2P packets here and there you will have issues with Demigod and games setup up like it. Period. Now can you please stop calling XSive_Death an idiot? thanks! ;P the Monk
Absolutely fantastic game! The most fun I've had gaming since.....well I don't want to remember.

[quote who="novex" reply="4" id="2175516"]a nice post, that i mostly agree with, however whyis it in techincal support ? i can only guess you are taking a dig at the people who clutter their systems with firewall virus etc and then complain when things dont work right. as is quite possibly the case in a fair few DG players machines, however if thats the case i take offence at the implication that if its not working its our own fault for installing more software[/q
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="25" id="2175293"]As a die-hard Stardock fanboy . . I din't become one because I was brainwashed . . I became one because of their great products and great support. At some point, it's OK to have a vested interest in something that you believe in and want to defend it. At another point, if they burn through the karma they accrued with me (not likely at this point since I am one of 'them') I would cease being a fanboy and be neutral. If the
gGor, I have a machine here that is the same as yours with the exception of the video card (mine's an ATI Radeon) and the system runs DG without a single hitch. I've read a few posts now with what seem to be nVidia 8800 series users having your type of issue? Could be a driver/card issue we're looking at here? Just supposing....
