I couldn't connect to other people before if running through my router, this patch solved this. Just finished my first game online Dominated everyone of course   Unclean Beast ftw

Great stuff, frogboy.

Seems to be a lot of issues, such as Favor Points in the billions. Also everyone seems to get named "ImpulsePlayer" or a numbered variant of it.

In addition to that, 3rd attempt at a game. We actually got a 4v4 with almost no lag going, awsome brilliant, fantastic, superbness. That game alone was worth the £27, flip! I actually feel a bit edgy and hyped up afterwards. Just brilliant!!!

Congratulations Frogboy

What he said.  (EDIT: I should add that with the non-beta version, I can generally get into a game in one to three tries)

The first Pantheon game I tried to join appeared to be working: the connection window said I had successfully connected to the other human in the game.  It sat there for a long time, then a window popped up saying "You have been disconnected because the matchmaking service has failed."  The game immediately started loading, and when I got in, everyone was an AI.

The second game, I wasn't around to see the connection window, but I heard "A player has left the game" and when I got back to the desk, the game was loading and everyone was an AI.

Both of these took a long time to even start connecting, but I assume that's because the pool of beta players is smaller than the pool of non-beta players.  I'm trying a third time now, we'll see.

Also: the control issues are NOT fixed in this patch for me.  I still have to issue a move order before I use Heal (in fact, once I had to issue multiple move orders before the Heal went off, something I haven't seen before).  My minions also like to ignore my attack orders until I issue a move command.

Just played an awesome 5v5.  I was us and they were EU and aussie.  Despite this and pings at 250, lag was mininmal at best

No move-attack issues, looks like that one may be fixed.  Great News!!!

Still had a few issues in lobby.  Two times I was disconnected in lobby for host time out.  Simply rejined and everything was fine.

Bigg step forward.  Thanks.

Okay, enough "testing" for one day.

Achievments and favour are still broken.

Connection info is still broken and completely wrong most of the time.

Saying that, connectivity and speed is loads better with this new patch for me. Stability in game and drops are much better as well. Although, I've never really had connection problems in the first place. So actually, connectivity seems better for the other people!

Perhaps when you threaten the people who are doing favour and achievments with bee's, they might just be saying its fixed to escape punishment. I say, sting the buggers purple into they get it right

Nice fixes..but game is still too expensive to warrant a buy from my friends.

Battleforge just lowered his base price to 30$ and it has easily twice or even triple the content. You might want to do the same for the digital version of Demigod.

Coupons might help, but it won't be enough to keep sales going.

Agree, it's better but there are still some issues, specially with Sedna and Heal.
And now i play with ImpulsePlayer1 and ImpulsePlayer2. It's... fun

I have noticed upon occasion that some pings are yellow even though the connection info box indicates all connected, and it is infact possible to start the game, so the ping colouring seems to be wrong. As if there is some issue with the reporting of 'lack of connection' info to other players in the lobby.

Also i've seen where a player leaves but sometimes people are trying to connect to that persons ghost, and fail. At worst this can force a remake of the lobby to fix it.

Does the connection keep retrying for players in the lobby, as sometimes if someone has a 0 ping to another player, just rejoining seems to fix it...

Also i've seen it where someone connects to the host, but does not join the lobby. Although the game seems to think they are as everyone else starts to connect to them.

Played one game after eight attempts!  I gave up on the second game after 15 attempts.  Before the issues I could connect and play within 2 to three tries.

Fixed crashes = good so far

Allowing people to show up in a lobby when they eventually have a NAT failure or some other host failure = bad

The patch is far from ready for a final release.  We'll be lucky if they figure out what's going on by Tuesday!  I see no worthy patch to fix multiplayer until mid to late next week at the earliest.  Thursday will be a milestone with the game's 1 month launch and the multiplayer remains mostly broken.
