Reply to Can people use cheats and hacks in demigod online? in Demigod Demigod Forums

No, because Demigod is p2p, all players have to have the same exact version or you will get desyncs.

Yes and no. Yes, there is a proxy in Australia but no it's not used yet as the intelligence for picking the closest proxy hasn't been published yet. :)

The patch notes are right in Impulse in the history area that specify explicitly what's new.

Well it becomes pretty clear reading through this thread that even though we live in an age where people have big download capabilities, there's still plenty of people with very limited upload. Very interesting.

This thing has got to be the most annoying in game bug for me.[/quote] They say this bug is harder to fix than it may seem like because it doesn't happen with all Demigods anymore in all situations. Do you have a really easy to reproduce scenario I can send over?

I would use them as a last resort generally because they do add some latency. But we have the infrastructure to handle insane numbers of users.

Nearly all RTSs are P2P, not C/S. The host does not route the traffic.

[quote]Sounds to me like you aren't willing to stand behind your product, which is clearly broken. It was released with a large number of bugs, many of which still aren't fixed. People still can't really reliably play 4v4s and 5v5s (evidenced by the fact that you only recently dared to make pantheon 3v3.) You promised you would get these bugs fixed and its been over a month. What do people get for trying to support you and stand by you while you attempt to fix things,

[quote who="Dead Ghost" reply="7" id="2214079"]You plan somewhere in the future to make Demigod a client/server game, or is just for Elemental? If yes, how much time we will have to wait? One year or more? [/quote] Just Elemental. We don't develop Demigod so we don't really have a say there. Plus, Demigod's p2p system lowers latency.

[quote who="rendari" reply="25" id="2213394"] Why did it take 3 weeks to fix? That implies you've fixed it. You haven't. [/quote] At this point, if you still can't connect you need to look at your ISP or your Internet set up. While an update later this week will provide proxy servers for users who can't use the game, that's not considered a "fix" but rather extra support for users who have unusually difficult Internet connections.

Reply to DotA Allstars 6.60 in Demigod Demigod Forums

Guys, please treat each other with respect. Dota players and Demigod players should be friends. It pains us when people see these games as competitors when we thought part of the objective here is to help expand a fresh new genre into the gaming world. Unless Dota or Demigod players think this type of game is doomed to be a niche then why is there always so much animosity?

Skirmish in Demigod Demigod Forums

As some people know, we are having some difficulties inserting users into custom games. This is being worked on. However, the skirmish portion seems to be working well. If you are looking for MP this weekend, skirmish seems to be working.

Reply to Where we’re at as we enter the weekend in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

[quote]Because the issue is largely with the Impulse matchmaking service facilitating the multiplayer. GPG end of things works fairly well. I don't have many, if any, issues once I get into a game. GameRanger apparently works pretty well too. I understand there are a couple of things that GPG needs to do to assist matchmaking, but I have to imagine that most of it is on Stardocks end of things.[/quote] That would be an incorrect assumption.

Let us distinguish Demigod from the NAT fascilitator which is not part of Demigod for a moment. Is Demigod finished? Absolutely. Are we happy with the state Demigod is in? Definitely. Are we happy with the performance of the NAT fascilitator? Clearly not. But the NAT fascilitator isn't part of the game. Its failings certainly impact the multiplayer aspect of the game to be sure. But a person playing Demigod could replace the NAT fascilitator with Hamachi or various other services and

Reply to Demigod in the long run in Demigod Demigod Forums

Really depends on which parts of the game matter the most for you. Let's go with the worse case scenario. We still plan to work wtih GPG to release 2 free Demigods. There will still be free updates for roughly a year. And all the multiplayer stuff will be heavily enhanced because it's also used in Elemental (the next game) so Demigod would piggy back on those features. So that's your worst case scenario.
