[quote who="SolaceAvatar" reply="22" id="2206223"] I'm probably just not getting something, but... in many fps games there can be up to 32 players. 32*31=992, 10*9=90. So... is the D value in Demigod more than 10 times greater than you'd find in any fps? Because otherwise I don't see how this is such a huge problem... [/quote] FPS games use a client/server model. So there is just 1 connection for each client to the server, and the server would have up to 32 connections.

[quote who="Charvel1" reply="14" id="2191940"] I strongly disagree with this. That would be too harsh of a punishment when some people may leave for legitimate reasons: Family emergency, wife aggro, house on fire, ISP goes down, and so on. I like the OP's suggestion on this where there is incentive to stay but not punishment when you leave.[/quote] I concur.
I have also experienced the stuttering issue in 3v3 or larger games. All my ports are forwarded according to the guides, and my system is a c2d e6400, 4gb ram, and geforce 8800gts 640mb running win xp. My ISP (a Bell Canada reseller) does throttle p2p traffic, so I wonder if that is part of the issue :/
[quote who="Levelheaded" reply="17" id="2177777"] Again, you're jumping around. What you're doing is still wrong.[/quote] That is subjective. [quote who="Levelheaded" reply="17" id="2177777"] You are offered a service (the game). You can use it and pay for it. Or not use it, and not pay for it. If it sucks, you still can get your money back, unless you bought the game in some Josef Stalin equivalent of a gamestore.[/quote] You can't return open
[quote who="Levelheaded" reply="15" id="2177396"] I don't live in canade so i can obviously not tell you where to go. Here in germany its the same place you rent DVD's and blurays, a videothek. Of vourse some games will never show up there (heavy drm) but the nagain: i boycot these types anyway.[/quote] Well, atleast you have that option! How much does a 1-day PC game rental cost there?

Same thing just happened to me after the patch. 0 favor points and none of my purchased items are available. Played a few rounds, and it said I got favor points at the end, but they never show up on my achievements page.
