1 month : 2 hours

from Demigod Forums

That's my playtime ratio online. I've had the game for a month, try for 4-5 hours on weekdays, and 7-8 hours on weekends, to get a game running.

-.- Yeah I'll check back Demi. In another month, and hope things have goten better.

I'm not asking for a refund, just getting frustrated that /serverproxyonly /useproxyonly /anyothercrapi'vehadtodo are doing diddly to help. So, I'll check back in a  few weeks, maybe after another 3-4 updates have come out, and until then, wish the rest of you who have working games good luck.

I posted this in another thread to help a user but as i browse the 3 different areas to report issues on the forums i see alot of people with issues connecting ... yet it doesn't sound like they are using them proxies! You have to set it up ... yes YOU have to set it up .... Stardock put the servers up you have to tell your client to use em!!!

 

Follow this step-by-step guide and you will be rdy in 5 mins! :).

 

Follow these pics step by step!

 

1)

Open impulse and right click Demigod and click "Open application folder"

 

 

2)

 

Go to the "bin" folder.

 

 

3)

 

Right click on Demigod and make a shortcut to your desktop.

 

 

4)

 

On the desktop right click the icon and go to Properties.

 

 

5)

 

In the Demigod "target" box you will see...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe" (OR SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR. DEPENDS ON YOUR OS.)

 

Change it to this ...

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe" /serverproxyonly

 

(Just basically after the end " just put a space and put /serverproxyonly).

 

Hit apply and ok and then run demigod from your desktop from now on to open it.

 

Note: You MUST LAUNCH DEMIGOD EVERYTIME FROM THIS ICON. NOT FROM IMPULSE OR IT WONT PROXY YOU. WHEN DEMIGOD NEEDS A UPDATE IT WILL TELL YOU IN-GAME TO OPEN IMPULSE AND UPDATE WHEN YOU CLICK THE "INTERNET" BUTTON IF REQUIRED. ONLY USE IMPULSE TO UPDATE THE GAME. ICON TO LAUNCH IT.


Please also note... This WILL NOT fix Pantheon and Skirmish games because that is broken on Stardocks end. Nothing we can do about it except wait for a fix...
 

Ok im done. Enjoy :yes: .

(edit for fixes!)

So me posting a guide showing him exactly how to do it (in-case he is doing it wrong since he said /useproxyonly and /anyother BS). So i figured me posting a guide for him double check wouldn't hurt. Plus its better than anything else anyone has said so ... yep?

 

You can stop following me around the boards and trying to tell me what to post and what not to post. I post w/e i feel like it ... and i felt id make sure he knew exactly how to do it. Thx!

Thank you for the help. It seems proxy servers are back up (I guess they crashed or something).Or I did something wrong, either way I went through did it again, and just played a very fun 3v3 game ^-^ thanks for the help/ thing to help me double check.

go here:

http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm

download port checker

run it, select port 6100 (any number between 6000-6200), check UDP box, click "check me"

I will bet money it says port is not open.

If that is the case, then you are not configured to play this game, you need to go into your firewall/reuter/modem and fix it there.

unless you show me a screenshot of port checker showing your port is open i have no pity for you

 

 

 

this goes for everybody complaining on this thread

Nope, they are open.

 

Anyways, I was bitching that I should be skipping direct connect, because it's a waist of time and I alwayss, in all but four games I find I have one person not connecting to me. So if I went all proxy it would save me time, and I would always connect to everybody.

 

Still not happening, and I'm rather pissed off. Doesn't mean I don't support demigod, just "Proxy only" isn't proxy only and if it doesn't work why bother with waiting in lobby to find one person not to connect to. I don't know sounds pretty pointless to me. They say it should be fixed in v1.01, so  I'm holding out for them. But until then, if anyone has anymore suggestions, I would be glad to try them.
