darkn3ss17, it would make your posts a lot easier to read if you would format them properly like everyone else.

That means proper punctuation and white spaces.

It would also help if you express your opinions with more tact.

Right now, the two posts you've made encourages people to either ignore you or attack your ill expressed points in defense of what many of us believe is a a great effort by GPG and Stardock so far, well deserving of the praise they're receiving from those who will give it.

Quoting ,

MP Stats not storing right.  This one we’re still working on.  You’d think that this would be straight forward (as a non network guy, that was my view anyway) but it’s actually remarkably complex to get the data to the server in a secure way at the end of the game but before people quit because the game is over.  

 

Does this address the issue of host leavers?  I have seen several times for myself over the past week and many time for others an issue where if the host is losing and they get disconnected or choose to intentionaly disconnect, if they reconnect and beat the game, they get the win while everyone else gets the loss.  I would really like to see that fixed.

 

Also any chance to get the disconnect timer back to 30secs?

Also fix the random demigod option. And maybe tweak a little the chat window (make the borders straight and make the whole window a little bit more transparent, just a little so it doesn't stick like that). And if they can, change the color of the "player X voted for concede" to red or something, so it's more visible! These fixes are not only my wishes, take a look on the forums and see that others also want this.

I'll keep my fingers crossed, hopping you fix all these bugs and don't introduce some more...

Good work figuring this stuff out. I'm really impressed with this company since this is the kind of dev-player correspondance I'd expect from a subscription MMO.

The random demigod issue was already fixed internally, we thought that was an obvious given thing to fix so it wasn't listed.

Sounds good. Also looking forward to seeing what GPG has cooking for new Demigods & maps.

Any ETA on the other bug fixes? (I don't want to nag on these, but gonna do it anyway till they are fixed)

Autoattack bugs, instant skills/items cancelling current orders ect.

Just a small reminder, there are still big bugs in this game, hope they get adressed!

Is there anyway to make the steam overlay work in demigod? Currently if i alt-tab out of game there is a chance of it crashing which ruins my game.

Looks like there will be an update this week. New build just got handed to QA.

1) Fixes the v1.1 crash issue.

2) Fixes favor items/achievement saving bug.

3) Random demigod fix.

Other issues in a subsequent update but it was decided that these issues needed to be expedited.

We are looking into this. We are not intentionally disabling the Steam overlay.

You should be able to add Demigod to Steam. Hit the add non-Steam game button in the Games tab.

The non-steam game thing doesnt work, u can see pop-ups but cant reply as the overlay wont open. It's incredibly annoying for me.

I can see how it would be complex, however do what WIC does and have a simple message display to show whether the update to the server has been succesful or not.

Good update as ever. Any note on when the demo is due?

I play windowed.  This allows me to use steam on the bottom area while not alt-tabbig and causing a crash.

 

Be careful though, resizing the window with the arrow at all in game leads to an immediate crash.  This got added in 1.01 or 1.1 not sure which, so be careful you don't accidently resize.

If it wasn't clear from the original post, until the patch update clears Stardock testing and is posted, avoid fiddling with your UI while dead.

Cool, a post from gpg.  So are we getting an update Thursday?  If not, it'll be next week I guess.

Happy 4th of July.

Good fixes here.  My only suggestion (which would be in the 1.2 thread if it wasn't locked) would be to increase the visibility of Demigods.  Rook typically blocks my view of smaller Demigods when in a large melee.  If there was a way that Demigods were more highlighted or perhaps had an overhead nametag that could be toggled, I think this would be very helpful in those large melees when it's easy to "miss" the smaller Demigods.
