Help me not disconnect in pantheon.

from Demigod Forums

I have no firewall running, I've set up 6100-6200,  6073 ports to be open through my router, but still get dropped like a hot potato out of 75% of my pantheon games.   Here is what most look like at the connection info window.

Then if i manage to connect,  it probably will drop me, but this game its only 2 v 2 out of what looks like a 5v5, 6 are bots.

I've looked at the sticky connection thread and still have no luck.

 

Could someone give me a step-by-step on what to do?  I'd just like to play some games here.

There is some information sent between all players at the start of the game, but due to latency tolerance being set fairly low internally, this results in some people dropping almost instantly at the start of a game when that bit isn't responded to in time and getting replaced by (or see everyone else replaced by) AI players. We're going to increase the tolerance in one of the next updates to alleviate this issue.

That sounds like it will help a bit,  but I seem to miss every packet sent.   I get to connect to those 3 other players (And it is ALWAYS only 3) and then get hit with a loading screen.  SUCCESS! I think,  Then the voice tells me "A player has left the game"...  ME.  and i'm staring down 9 bots.   Fun...

I've been trying to get a game going for a while now and am 13 trys 1 play,  It's pretty terrible.  What can i Do?  I've set my router/pc up for static connection,  Port-fowarded.  What else is there?

Edit:  I'm now up to 22 game trys and still one play.  It's impossible.

One thing I'm doing from now on,  if i ever see the connection info like my screenshot (Some people just blank, no connecting info)  I leave.  I'm not dealing with that anymore.
