EDIT: Alright folks, from the man himself, the biggest problem Stardock is having right now is a dearth of useful information from us. They know people are having problems, they even know about most of the problems, they just don't have enough information to act on it.
The best way we can help is:
- Identify whether any problem you are having is considered a connectivity problem or "other"
- If it is a connectivity problem: create a thread in the "Demigod Connectivity Help" forum: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/559
- If it is something else, create a thread in the "Demigod Problem Reports" forum: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/549
- If you really want to help: go to your My Documents->My Games->Gas Powered Games->Demigod folder, zip your ImpulseReactor.log, DemigodLog.txt, CVPMultiplayerEngine_XXX.csv and MiniDump.dmp files, and email them to support@stardock.com. Make sure you mention the thread title in your email. Even more helpful would be to provide a link back to your thread in the email.
- If you really want to help: describe everything about the problem, no matter how trivial it seems, in the thread and the email
OLD POST:
Enough is enough. Clearly you guys are overwhelmed. I understand. Let us help you. Before you push another "fix" patch through, let a dedicated group of good players beat it to death first.
I hearby call upon anyone who:
- Is already at least decent at Demigod
- Is willing to help QA beta patches
- Is not looking for money, power, fame or even credit
Please post your willingness to help out here.
This group of individuals could get the beta patch and hammer on it, playing both private and public games. In exchange, Stardock, perhaps you could open another closed forum where these individuals can provide direct feedback to your QA team (and GPG), without being drowned out by the noise.
