Can't use multiplayer

from Demigod Forums

Im fairly certain that there are 2 seperate isues here.

the first being that pantheon mode wont work. I click the play button, the game freezes up for about 30 seconds, and then continues as if i had not done anything.

 

the other problems is that i cant get into a skirmish game. I've waited a good 10 minuites waiting for everyone to connect to everyone else before losing patiens and canceling. I would like to know if this is common due to serer issues or whatever, or if its my internet/computer thats the problem.

Another problem, whenever I try and join, or anyone joins my custom game, the entire game crashes

Most likely the former.  The servers took a pounding today, and were on and off.  I would say wait a few days to start blaming your ISP/Network/etc.

One of the things you can do that may help is to use the ImpulseReactorOptions.exe application in your Demigod\bin directory.  This will limit the number of ports that the Multiplayer connection server uses for you, and allows you to forward that range in your router (as opposed to the huge 6100-6200 block).  By default I believe it's 6112-6132, and can be changed in case of multiple machines needing to be connected on the same LAN (port forwarding shouldn't allow overlaps, and most routers will not allow such a configuration)

Yup having the same problem as you just that mine does not crash. It just goes on trying to connect forever.... as for the port fowarding tried those and still it does not work.

Patches are coming down the pipe and server upgrades being done to help with the situation.  Make sure to let us know if they're working for you.
