Feedback on .0108 build

from Demigod Forums

1.) For starters - When I first downloaded the update I wasn't sure if was beta or not. I'm still not sure. Maybe make that more clear.

2.) After the update I couldn't get the game to launch but someone told me to delete the game.prefs file and I did. So now I can launch the game and get it to work. I played single and multiplayer after the patch.

3.) I was able to connect to some folks from the USA to a "nordic 3v3" game. Pings were in the green around 180 to 200 ms. The game ran well w/o a lot of hangs and stutters however 2 things:

a.) it seemed like there was a lag between the time I casted shield on my oak and it actually proc'ing. I died needlessly because it seemed like there was a delay in this activating.

b.) after about 15 minutes of otherwise good gameplay the game borke apart where every other player had "left the game" so I was stuck in the game now with 5 AI players and just me. Not sure why the game broke up like that because there was no warning and it all happened at once.

I'm just going to use this thread to feedback my game experiences from a technical standpoint. Maybe I'm dumb but I'm not sure if I'm helping beta test or not but I figure the devs can use my feedback.

Second game multiplayer was better. Played w/ 2 other people 3 vs nightmare ai. No hiccups or disconnects. No lag, halts or stutters.

Nightmare AI is still pretty weak. AI heroes just get themselves killed to easily, especially by chasing to far into towers.

3rd online game, about 3/4th's of the way thru on a 2v2 cataract our two opponents were dc'd. Me and my partner stayed in the game and we had verbal confirmation neither of us were kicked.

We got the "lag screen" and the host seemed to lag out when his thing said 30 secs.

BTW I understand .0108 is the beta and so I guess I will continue to give as much feed back as I can.

Forming games seems better now except for the fact there doesn't seem to be a lot of people making custom games.
