Hard AI... Is a tad difficult to win the tourney when you get the Kill # games. AI just owns your teammates... That's my only gripe about Hard AI, I'm used to AI "cheating" in RTS games on higher difficulty.
You can buy it from the digital download on the main page... And the people suggesting waiting... The the connection would be fine if people knew how to set up their routers or work a connection. It's the one person who can can cause a game hang up on search, granted they shoulda had a time out on the connection part, but still. If he's planning on buying the game and wants to keep up to date with patches etc... There no difference if he buys it n
Not sure if it's why... But generally all games i play I can get in(blame others for not being able to connect and making us go through the hang/cycle) are fine. The only ones that I experience any lag are people with 300+ ping... And generally when I ask very nicely it's people from halfway across the globe, I live in the USA. And maybe since its more p2p then server hosted that is why it is sluggish if you are connecting with USA people, I would assume they see the ex
[quote who="DeadMG" reply="8" id="2140519"]Waiting for a little while seems to resolve most of them, even if Windows says that Demigod has stopped responding. I'm hoping that the warning in gpggal will be useful. I saw several people in Impulse chat with this problem.[/quote] Ya that's what I meant hanging... But is it worth it waiting through 4 menus for 30sec-2mns, so 2mns to 8mns, to sit in the connection info box that is Pantheon for 5mns + to see one guy not connect, then cancel
I've already gone back to WoW enough times to know, not to do it again... Was such a great game, pity, I don't agree with the direction is went since WotLK, err actually since Arena. Only thing Blizzard can possibly make to have me once again as a customer will be the day D3 ever comes out.
[quote who="kryo" reply="17" id="2140468"]We're working on it. The main issue right now with multiplayer seems to be that people who cannot connect or be connected to (bad routers, etc) try to join games and basically hang it for everyone else. We're working to reduce the number of setups that have problems, and give hosts more control to prevent such issues as well. Problems seem a lot more common than they are because as you try to get a bigger game going, you run higher and high
[quote who="DeadMG" reply="6" id="2140443"]ROFL, nice one chevelleking. I will try that. However the usual exe works now instead of just the shortcut. Crashed on trying to log in. It does seem much better now. However, I'll have to start downloading again to see how long to leave it for. Thing is, the Betas were absolutely fine. I participated up until Beta 3 or so, and it was completely unheard of for Demigod to crash. Now, the retail crashe
Have to admit, experiencing pretty much exactly what you're saying... Not so much the dropped players, because I haven't been in a game for them to drop, since it's mostly stuck at connecting. And the menu button hanging... Is currently keeping me from even opening the game.
First of all the game worked perfectly from Friday til this morning, Pantheon worked well even though it was mostly AI players, I did play against a few humans and had 0 connecting issues with them. Hopefully these things can help iron out the kinks, but anyhoo here's been whats going on. First 5 Pantheon games I played worked flawlessly, connected to everyone, very little lag, great time, etc... Now recently... 1. Upon starting Demigod, menu buttons especially Multiplayer one
Mulitiple Reg. teams make me cry... Snipe x?, with tracking... Don't drop below 50% or arrows will fly from all over the map. Some maps you can't even make it back to the base before snipes come flying even if it was the snipe that dropped you low in the first place. Not really complaining, I used Reg. til this new tourney, then chose Darkness :( Still learning them mostly.
Meh, just had to rechange the account name back to the original name to let me download the update... And play. Well if anyone is having that problem of no update... That fixed it for me.
Just gonna change the name back in the account thing, apparently they haven't figured the name changing out yet... Hopefully that will fix it.
This is the error message I get everytime I log on Impulse, not sure if they are related... "Could not log in Invalid Stardock.net account A Stardock.net account does not exist for "_____". You must register that account first" Well it is the same account I just changed the name, it shows me logged in under the new name under the community tab. But won't let me download the update.
I load up Impulse first and it says theres an update in the community tab, but I see nothing on the My Games... I load up Demigod and it tells me to load up Impulse and download the new update, and closes the game. Impulse is not showing an update... I think this is related to me changing my account name, which Impulse still error messages me to register my old name when I log in, even though it shows my new name in the account tab, and shows my registra
https://www.stardock.com/demigodmanual.pdf This thread has the info... About it being released in the patch. http://forums.demigodthegame.com/346154 <br
This will help alot of people... Any idea if the account name change will affect the ingame multiplayer name, like it does with the forums? Seems to be changing only here, and not in game even, though I'm logging in with the new name, still shows the old name in bottom corner of screen and in game scoreboard.
[quote quoting="post"] Right now I am hoping that this multiplayer experience is still hiccups of bad servers. I have yet to get a single nonbot teammate and my bot teammates continue to feed the live players on the other team. The only time I can play with live people is if I go into custom games. I did not pay for a semi multi player game and hope that this is either bad servers or is being worked on because right now I would rather go back to dota. [/quo
"That 2 hour long battle was a bit ridiculous. I'm not having a pleasant first day of playing this. I was in the beta in December and quit because of some odds and ends bugs." ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Isn't that sort of the point of beta? To test the game? Help the developers iron out the bug kinks? Had a few pathing issues also though, nothing like w
Same issue here, although it has worked fine since Friday, but I assume that has to do with downloads/server changes/etc... Not to worried... Getting hang up on screen menus in the mulitplayer portion of the menu... Also trying Pantheon get the "found a game, connecting" thing for 4+minutes, my ADD doesn't let me just wait and see. I just figure this will will all be fixed tomorrow for the release. I'd gladly pass out now... If I freakin' didn't drink a pot and a half
I also would like to add... That everytime I start up Impulse I get a error message saying I could not log in with my account name(the orginal one that I changed, tells me to register the old name, I hope this doesn't affect anything), even though it shows my new name in the information tab. This keeps popping up when I start Impulse... And, the name still hasn't changed in game, although currently works on the forums and at least shows on both account info pages.
I think you have to wait til the end of each Tournament season... Which again, I think starts with the release of retail(14th), not sure when they will start it exacty. Again, all those things, I think... Since I did what you did and chose, the wrong side not knowing exactly the details of everything... I think currently right now it's still in a beta tourney... At least that's what the website is showing...

I know it'll get better though since the support for Sins of a Solar Empire is outstanding. Its not that is not a kick ass game, its only that it needs to display more information, its true what JKnuckle88 said, but come on, ive never played DoTA and i still think that showing damage armor health
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="5" id="2137139"]Hmm. That's odd. Ask someone in IRC I suppose, it uses my forum name, but I've never had to change it so I don't know if it takes a little while to register or what. You can also log in by using the username, not the e-mail.. have you tried that?[/quote] Ya... It's working here, but not in game, maybe it takes some time. Not sure... Hopefully it'll change, otherwise now I'm gonna get confused :(
Well shows new name on the forum... But not on the bottom left hand part of game screen, where it says Logged in as:

I personally never played DotA, I think this game is extremely enjoyable. And for me it will get better since more people will be online today or tomorrow to play, been only getting a few games with hu
