I had no issues connecting to my friend in custom games before yesterday's patch, but now neither of us can connect to each other's custom games. He's not behind NAT, so I see no reason for it not to work.
It's horribly broken, hopefully fixed with a patch on monday.
There were actually three, but i only stored the debug text for two of them: Crash one: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x007525eb attempted to read memory at 0x000000c8 Program : d:\games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe Cmd line arguments : Callstack: Unknown symbol (address 0x00752
Heads up from a new player: Achievements and favor points are horribly broken for me. Achievements reset all the time, favor points go up and down as they wish, and bought items do not save. I played some offline before I patched and that seemed to work as intended for both achievements and favor points. I guess it's a known bug at this point, but I find the lack of official information disappointing. Both features are a big part of the game.
To me favor items is the only peristant progress in the game, and I was pretty disappointed when everything was reset. On top of that achievements were also reset, and valor points keep changing in both directions seemingy at random. Achievements seem to reset every time I select a new character, though I haven't been able to test this in great detail yet. I appreciate the option to turn them off, but please, by choice, not by bug. Any news on this?
