Hi everyone.

We will be publishing a new update to the Impulse Overlay soon.

This update will:

+ Fix display bug where some players showed 0% win percentage even when they had played and won games

+ Cut back on the amount of bandwidth used when connecting to other players in the game

+ Remove the "% Games Completed" stat from the overlay.  At this time, we are unable to accurately track this data.  We are working on a solution, though.

It will be available on Impulse as soon as it goes through testing.

Good call. I have like 10x longer connection times since the overlay came out (beta/retail), and I never had a problem before, so I'm quite ceratin it's the overlay.

If you hadn't tried it, use the proxyserver switch:

add   /serverproxyonly    to the executable in your short cut.

 

That speeds up connections.  

 

Now, we need to address the ton of crashed games "unhandled exception error" that I've seen.

I don't see what this has to do with proxies. I never needed those before. Downloaded older impulsefiles from another thread by frogboy. Those are slow too but work a little better then the recent ones.

Did you try the newer ones posted by Frogboy? Those have solved my problems.

Here's an updated DLL that you can unzip into your Demigod/bin directory:

Answering ntropy - #3

 

I don't understand the reason the proxy server only switch works, but it is amazingly quicker than whatever got broken with the overlay.
