I SEE THE LIGHT AHEAD(the latest beta)

May 9, 2009 3:14:38 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

ok so im one of those players who couldnt connect to any custom games after ALL port forwarding efforts

but after this latest beta i can get into lobbys very quickly, and connect to the host

but this is what happens to me:

when somebody else talks in chat the players name doesnt show up, it just has [ImpulsePlayer]:

everyone else who connects has 0ms, except for the host (they have a normal ping)

also when i check "connection information" it just has my players name and thats it, no other peoples names at all

keep up the good work everyone at stardock!!

The reason behind the 0 ping is because the UI was built to display NAT info, but what you are experiencing is Host service (I wish i knew the groovy shortname for this).

You are not seeing other players Pings because your computer is recieving all needed information through the host, who is aquiring all information from all players.  Its a stable setup, but if you get a host to ragequit, GG.

BTW, this post is sensationalized.  The BETA didn't fix much, but gave the APPEARANCE of progress.

Honestly, all this patch did was bring up how this community WANTS a fix that it will deem any progress a godsend.

Nope, this patch fixed my connection problems. First online game that worked since I got the game. All this beta patch need is some final polish on the UI. In custom games and in the Patheon game I had the same 0 ping as described by OP. Everything else worked just fine.

And sorry to my teammate, the rook, still trying to get the hang of the game.

StAcK3D I'm having the exect same issue as you.

 

I can connect to games and get a ping to the host, but zero to anyone else in the lobby. If I host no one can join the lobby.

 

I have ports forwarded, tried with dmz also. Have tried impulse reactor with ports 6100-6200 or 6000-6200.

 

I have neither a hardware or windows firewall enabled.

 

What's going on with this???????

so i disabled those ports on my router for hosting, and changed my ports in "impulsereactor" to 6120-6200 and now i join lobbys whilst he is playing WC3 , hopefully that helps some people out who are having problems

This new beta patch has added something the previous patch didn't have...added in-game lag at random times and the game just freezes for about 30 seconds occasionally at the end of a match (citadel destroyed).

 

That's not a feature I want!!!!

None of my mates in Aus have had this problem, they can all at least connect but hav experienced the same general issues as everyone else.

 

I am using a Billion 7402 adsl modem and I am with Exetel, so that likely excludes modem and ISP as issues.

 

I'm running Vista 32bit, dont see how thats relevant though. I really need an answer from a stardockian about this but I find it hard to get them to help.

<- similar setup to OP.

 

I only get the cant connect to one person.

 

Then it says NAT failed, u will be disconnected...

 

The patch helped me stop crashing everytime it couldnt connect to someone.
