[quote who="kyogre12" reply="2" id="2631218"]Well there's the fact that the boxed version of Steam games still make you install Steam, which totally kills my primary motivation in getting boxed copies. Up until recently, my internet was pathetically slow, so installing off a disc was always much, much, much faster than the 5+ hours it would take to download a game. Plus there's the fact that the boxes don't say they require Steam installed (at least they didn't when I bought the box of Portal
@Kiamori: if any player in the game has the Russian version of the game, the game will get desynced once one side controls the map.
Yeah, Curr 2 and 3 is only worth it in 3v3 and up.
You shouldn't call it "host desync" btw. ;). Here the issue is not, that someone is desynchronizing. The issue is, that the game does not get recorded, if the host disconnects or even simply leaves the game regularly before it's over.
[quote who="Uphax" reply="6" id="2627266"]ok, i posted something about him being and exploiter a while ago. but now that ptarth has clarified how it happens it seems he really doesnt cause the invalid gamestate on purpose. but be aware that he really plays _far_ worse than his stats might imply. i.e. he didnt even pick monks as erebus last time i played with him.[/quote]We aren't talking about desyncs here.
lol, nice one :D
I only have the problem whenever Rook is around... which is... always, since I always play Rook :P. He frequently obscures the view on Demigods that just teleported in for example.
PeaceFulBlueSkY is right. KalleMix uses the host quit exploit quite often. My advice is also to completely avoid him.
I played two or three games with him. He was not that good and the problem was not me or the other teammate, at least not always. He's also rather rude.
Well, anyone can do that against an AI... this thread should be about regular multiplayer games :).
Btw. also check out the hot chick in the latest video blog ;P
[quote quoting="post"] After Supreme Commander 2, I didn't have high hopes for Kings and Castles, but whatever hopes I did have just go crushed. In the most recent video blog (linked above, but here it is again http://gaspowered.com/kingsandcastles/video-blog-15/), Cris Taylor said K&C will be using Steam for their DRM. While he never explicitly said whether it will be using Steamworks, or just be distributed on Steam, I think it can probably be safely assumed based off o
I think it's about 600 MiB or so. But I am not entirely sure. I don't think it's 2.6 GiB?
I'll even give some Karma for this ;) [e digicons]k1[/e]

I'll have stats, items, times to look, everything, let me get it all together and come up with some details. If I'm wrong and it is proven completely I will retract my stance. I want to keep the same open mind I ask others to have so I am open to being wrong. Thank for your at least being open to this Pacov, I appreciate it greatly. And again, I ask any othe
Jesus, calm down. Caps lock will get you nowhere. Writing multiple exclamation marks won't get you anywhere either.
[quote who="CPCvwr" reply="39" id="2623362"]The question is : 5/5 will be playable ?[/quote]Playable in what sense?
If you change your Impulse Login name, it will also change your Multiplayer name. It just takes a while until the change applies to multiplayer too.
QoT and Sedna will be horrendously OP ;P But yeah, I'll participate as DA :)
[quote who="KillzEmAllGod" reply="36" id="2623051"]Might buy it depending on how much is fixed, you should buy the rights for the game off them since they don't care much for it.[/quote]It seems you didn't read the first post ;).
[quote]Spooky, i made sure i forwarded the exact same ports that NoooOoooOOOooOO had forwarded to see if there was an issue. We just wanted to match them up. I don't know why some of them were opened lol. [/quote]Well, it doesn't matter which ports he forwarded. You simply have to forward the ports, that are defined with ImpulseReactiorOptions.exe. By default they are in the 6100 to 6200 range (I don't remember the exact default values). Also forwarding port 6073 (the default hosting
[quote who="Kermo" reply="24" id="2621438"]Also please fix the big difference in SP Tournament normal and hard game. My 3 y old son can play in normal mode and win all games with any demigod. But hard mode is too hard even for me.[/quote]There is nothing to "fix" here. You just have to try harder ;).
6100, 6103 and a plethora of others sounds weird ;). You have to forward the ports that you configured via the ImpulseReactorOptions.exe
