Dude, get a refund, gtfo, and stfu. Because if you listen very closely... very closely... you can hear... the sound of no one giving a crap. No one gives a crap that you think Stardock is stupid, or Azrail is stupid (both of which I find false). This "fix" is going to take time, and if you and your ADD-addled generation of tweens can't wait, then don't. No one cares.
But more importantly, from your post I seriously believe that you probably could play the game if you ever learn to use your brain and learn to port forward. But then again, I'm kind of reluctant to share the "secret" of how to make Demigod work online because then you will probably be those tweens populating this forum with "NERF X!!!!!!!" while happily feeding the other team and wondering why you are constantly getting killed.
Okay, I apologize for the second paragraph. Get a refund.
this is funny i almost read all of it then i realized by doing so i was just slowly getting more retarded by reading your post. this was never about port forwarding but if you want to bring it to that please do because im sure i understand the concept far better then you. i had my ports forwarded before most of the people here even knew they needed their ports forwarded thanks to monks guide. how ever during beta a dev team posted on here saying what ports to forward and that the impulse reactor was being added to configure the game to those ports etc etc... but if you read the post you would of read the game was working fine before the new "fixes" im sure you coulda figured it out but since your tiny mind needs me to explain everything i will break it down for you.
now on the other hand i never said stardock was stupid, just said people were losing confidence in the game.
i was in the same place most of u were about 1 week ago i was posting "forward your ports" "configure firewalls" etc etc... the games not broken it works fine for me...how ever the game is broken or they wouldnt be fixing it duh?! you dont realize what other people are going through untill you start experiencing their problems. even if u take all the steps needed to connect it still fails not all the time but probly 30% of the time. or some one drops out losses connection mid game. thanks to the NAT
