Well, the huge spike isn't *that* huge, I think something similar occurs when opening a web page. Firewall is already turned off. But I *do* see a DMZ option now I look more closely at the options. I might try that later, see if the problem remains if I turn it on.
The huge spike seems to occur when you press the join game button, it'll probably have to download game info from the stardock server or something. After that, I don't know, 10, 20 seconds? I'm just sitting there waiting in the lobby until something goes wrong. My last attempt wouldn't kill the router btw.
[quote who="just_dont_do_it" reply="9" id="2208929"]And these HUGE short D/L spikes?[/quote] I think that was from before joining a game.
I did a run with NetMeter, this is the result: The timeout happens before/during the last upload burst indicated by the green bars at the end. I'm guessing this just indicates Demigod panicking and trying to send data as a result of the timeout. Otherwise, I don't see anything big happening during that period.
Ok, last time I edited I already had my ports for Supreme Commander set up, I removed those too, and now I connected to two lobbies without being able reproduce this problem. A bit of an awkward solution though, as I play Supreme Commander rather often, and it is a bit less forgiving when comes to forwarded ports. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one Mauxe. I'll try NetMeter to see what happens if this occurs again. [edit] Well, it appears I crie
[quote who="just_dont_do_it" reply="1" id="2208808"]Read some recent posts here: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/347837 (edit: wrong link) Basically, you would want to make your router as non-intrusive into traffic as possible. There's usually a "DMZ" option that'll let you do so. It seems that ANY kind of packets routing (including, but not limited to, port forwarding) is acting up on SO many hardware with the latest Demigod patch.[/quote]<

[quote who="Ceylin" reply="12" id="2207751"] I'm going to go ahead and guess this has to do with them finding and removing the Flow Control on the client side. Now your computer is sending a ton more packets. My guess is your router is crashing under heavy load. What router are you using? [/quote] Well, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Why exactly was this Flow Control removed? My router is an E-Tech "ADSL Modem router" (http://www.e-tech.nuPro
I am also experiencing problems still. Somebody started a thread yesterday about Demigod crashing his router. This still happens for me (E-tech) with the latest update. Sometime during connecting to the lobby or while in the lobby, my router will just crash and take Demigod with it. This didn't happen before yesterday's update. Now, a router shoulnd't just crash, whatever the program is doing, but I suspect Stardock is doing something rather dodgy to make this happen. I did get one game runni
Well, I can at least confirm the router reboot problem, as I'm having the same. Something will go wrong in the lobby, causing my (E-Tech) router to stop responding until I hard-reset it. I've never seen this before in any application, and I'm actually quite curious to know how Stardock managed to do this. [e digicons]:D[/e]
