Demigod Connection Issues

Not Stardock's fault?

from Stardock Forums

Hey everybody,

I'm pretty sure this is my first game I've ever tried using a p2p connection for the game, rather than a client server. Is a public IP address required for a stable game? I currently use accesspaging, which reroutes cox internet through radio waves to a receiver at my house (ridiculous, I know, but I live out in the middle of nowhere). They charge extra for a Public IP address (15$ a month).

I can play the game right now, but only 1 of the 4 games I've played so far were lag free, I've done port forwarding and everything.

So yea, just wondering if a public ip address would resolve lag and connectivity issues.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried Proxys? If not ill post my guide so you can follow it.

 

 

 

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: .
