Compilation (list) of new bugs

1. When you have enough people in the game lobby and you press launch.  Game will often just get "Stuck" at the loading screen (even after 5 minutes).  People will start doing their ctrl-alt-del and you can hear the "Player has left the game" it has done that an average of 10-15% of games (This is extremely annoying.. specially after waiting about 5-10 minutes to get 6 people in a game)

 

2.  After the game either crashes or you take it down with the task manager, your saved username and password will be shown as invalid by the demigod client.  Even if you put in your username and password it still doesn't work.   The workaround is to remove the save password check.  Then get out of the client, come back in and reinput your password correctly.

 

3. I keep getting unhandled exception errors when trying to connect to a game where there might be a person my computer doesn't like connecting to.  I get this Unhandled Exception Error Often.

 

4.  When someone is coming into your game lobby.. there is a possibility he will freeze the hosts game for about 5-6 seconds.  In turn this makes everyone else in the game lobby drop off with a message saying "Connection to host timed-out"

 

5.  Sometimes you get two yellows (Which means they are both not connecting to each other) but everyone else is showing green all across.

 

6. Lord Erebus team players can get killed by Poison blood.  There needs to be a way to let the player know it is a LE kill drop so your team members don't die from this.  IF the team member dies from this.. our team gets gold (and if the enemy is hitting you, they get a remnant of this gold.  Not good)  This happened to me twice already.

THIS MUST BE FIXED.

Yeah, simply make the poisoned potion show up as a red color to the team allied with Erebus or something.

lol That Erebus bug is pretty funny, luckily I've never encountered that happening to myself or anyone else in a game.

I can't think of any bugs atm that you already listed, but if I see some I'll let you know.

Oh, sometimes it's just wonderful. My suicide got me the gold needed to buy the upgrades that would eventually lead to giants, sealing the win for my team :D

the potion thing isn't a bug... don't take potions from erebus.. it's not fucking hard guy.

Add the bug where your hero just randomly stops attacking and stands there like a moron when you command it to use abilities like bite or pounce.

If you would like to add a beta bug to your list

 

7. [BETA BUG] When finishing a custom online game, you can not leave the match result screen.  It seems like the interface has locked up but it actually hasn't, because if you are in windowed mode and press close, it asks if you want to exit to windows.  I have confirmed this has happened with at least 4 different people, all using Windows XP and maybe one on Vista.  So far it has happened every single time for us (but we have only had 2 online games in this beta).  It happened in both of the most recent beta versions.

It's kind of hard to notice when you pick up the potion half a game later. Allied players should be able to see the potion in a different colour, or with a notice.

I agree, the Erebus potion should effect your teammates. His blood is poisonous! It's not like they are any different than the other team. Erebus himself however, should be immune to it. If there is an Erebus on the other team, he should be immune to it too, and it should work like normal (or possibly have no effect) for all Erebus' in play.

I'm unsure of whether your allies should have a different visual for "friendly" poisoned potions, but I'd be ok with it. They can see Regulus' mines after all, which are invisible to the other team.

Not to mention that the potions can be used to easily gain money. Just have an Erebus die, and then let him keep eating his own potions. He'll keep getting gold for each kill.

God I wish someone would make a decent list and keep it updated with the issues instead of the hundreds of posts like this with repeatead and incomplete bugs.  I'm almost tempted to do it myself.

But it's so funny when a team-mate takes it.

I've even fallen out of my chair laughing when I kill myself with it. It's mid game hilarity :D

That is pretty amusing - it's not that hard to tell if youlet your teammates know anyway, normaly he drops 750 pots while the real ones are 3000, and late in the game DG's drop 5000 health + mana pots so it is easy to tell

Thing is, I've won games by suiciding on my own pots. As funny as it sounds, if you really need 1.8k to buy that new item/citadel upgrade, and you can't find a DG to kill, just go to your last corpse, and choke one down. 30 seconds, no fuss, and you're back at base to buy what you need.

 

Of course, it was a bit of a fluke that it worked so well, but it DID work.
