Attempt to join failed

from Demigod Forums

I get "attempt to join failed" on about 50% of the games I try and join.  30% more just sit there trying to connect till I get a message about a NAT facilitor error of some kind.  Then when I actually get in a game about 10% of the time we don't get enough people and end up playing with or just giving up.

 

This is totally foobar why is the multiplayer part of this game so backwards anyway?  This looks like something you would seen 10 years ago.

 

I didn't get this game so I could play the computer.

 

Now that I'm done ranting can someone please point me to a post from a dev that addresses some of these problems and some sort of timeline when they can get the thing playable.

 

Thank you.

The issue is that the error messages are too generic.

90% of the time it means that the game is full or has started but that it hasn't updated the custom game list yet.

Yea, it sucks they are working on it though, you think this is bad, you should have seen the WoW launch.

Ouch!  heh.  I am trying to figure out why my connection sucks and it turns out the games are just full?

Sometimes yes, other times connections.

Stay with Pantheon or Skirmish for the time being. Also google GameRanger and use it.
