Well I played pantheon for the first time in a fair while last night.  

Finding a game was a lot quicker than it has been in the past, and looking at connection info everyone connected to each other quite quickly.

Unforutnately after that it went to the loading screen for demigod and just sat there for about 5 minutes.

I don't believe the game had crashed, however due to the nature of this screen it's difficult to tell.  alt tab, ctrl+alt+delete didn't work, and I couldn't access the impulse overlay, but maybe these are disabled for the loading screen.

Regardless I found it fairly frustrating as a user experience and would appreciate some more user feedback on that screen (eg, am I loading myself, am I waiting for other clients to load? am I trying to establish connections again?)

Take a look at the C&C series and the Dawn Of War / Company of Heroes series, they have a progress bar for all players, that's a great start.  Maybe some text indicating what the software is attempting to do at this stage would also be useful.

So there's two things here, one is reporting an apparant crash, the other is a request for more user feedback when the map is loading.
