Reply to Exile Map Design Flaws in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

If a team has all of the flags, their warscrore is probably much higher than the enemies'. Which means they don't have giants. And you can't tell me it will be easy for the enemy team to fight of a horde of Giants, Catapults, Creeps and 3 or 4 other Demigods, which will not let you get back to that crystal that easily and which also have much more buffs due to the flags. Also they will have much more gold, since they have both gold flags.

Also, what about desyncs? I had a game today, where I dominated the enemy mid game with 5 smites in succsession after which 2 of the enemies rage-quitted. My allies quit the game after that too and then the game desynced. I wanted to finish the game with the last remaining enemy, but couldn't. And now it counts as a loss.

[quote who="JagerJack" reply="13" id="2208993"]Perhaps the system or whatever you call it can't tell the difference between a "net hiccup" and a manual disconnect. I know next to nothing about computers and the like so I'm probably wrong, but could something along those lines be a possble explanation?[/quote]The system can tell the difference. It's just a bug. It doesn't even happen all the time. Sometimes when a player quits on purpose, he is dropped immediately. When a player quits

The OP isn't complaining about having to wait 30 seconds for players that are actually timing out. He is complaining about the 30 second time out that happens most of the time a player quits intentionally (via the menu).

It could be because of the massive amounts of UDP packets the Stardock server sents to you. My Router/ISP has a problem with that too, I simply lose the connection to the NAT facilitator after that though.

There will be proxy servers and the Impulse will automatically select the nearest proxy server, if direct connect and NAT punch through fails.

Since this issue is getting more publicly known, I just want to warn new players not to give away the content of your Game.prefs (for technical support purposes for example).

Reply to Cannot connect to a NAT facilitator in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

[quote who="ShunKeets" reply="16" id="2207796"]Potentially, yes. The router would have to inspect (SPI = stateful packet inspection) the packets to determine how they're fragmented. A false positive for that attack on the Demigod/Impulse packets would definitely cause this. That said, I haven't really looked at a trace of the game's traffic to see if it could possibly be considered an attack, but if someone reports that it has been detected as such, it may very well be that others would detec

Ah, hang on, is spamming (fragmented?) UDP packets (apparently something called an "opentear attack"), like the Stardock server does, something that would be detected and blocked by an SPI Firewall?
