try playing with others on net games.
I had only crashes when ALT TAbbing.
Rarely, maybe two times had some NAT error or something - other ppl were prob behind firewall.
I had a hui guy hosting game then leaving when he was loosing - thus invalidating the game and thats it.
Game with 1.3 patch is good and the gamepšlay is excellent.
I think I may have 3 of us LAN playing on friday and after a few games we just might feel competent to play with others for a bit.
Oh, I wish for a Demigod 2....
