Nat Facilitator Issue - 8/15/2011 3pm Est - MP WORKS AGAIN!

Nat Facilitator Issue - 8/15/2011 3pm Est - MP WORKS AGAIN!

Everyone that plays Demigod online is aware that there is currently an outage on the Demigod MP servers (anytime you host a game, you get the Nat Facilitator error).  The issue began on 8/3/2011 around 2AM EST and is still ongoing as of 12:50PM EST. 

I've chatted up a few people at SD (and sent the appropriate emails to support) and they are aware of the issue.  The issue appears to be because many of the servers that were once housed at Stardock are being moved to Gamestop facilities.  The closest thing I've got to an estimate on how long it will take to get things back up and running is "hours yet, maybe a day."  So, they are working to resolve this.  I'd just check back in from time to time and see if things are back up and running. 

Update 8/3/2011 from Island Dog:  "Just an FYI that it won't be back tonight, they are looking at sometime tomorrow."

Update 8/4/2011 from T-man:  "We are still working on getting the NAT Faciliator back online.  But due to several technical difficulties it is unlikely that we will get it back online this week.  I would estimate that we will have it working again mid next week. Our apologies for the inconvenience."

 

Update 8/15/2011 around 3PM EST:  The servers appear to be back up and the issues seem to have been resolved.

Yep, they finally killed it. 

 

I do love the values and approach these guys have, their engagement with the community. But their incompetence with bugs and networking has beaten this game into the ground from the first day.

I'm seeing if I can get a status update from SD on this to see where they are with things.

Guys, still not killed.

But they DO need go get the foking servers up if they want to keep the game. I am not even sure they are aware of this.

I work in this IT industry and have seen the wrong people doing these things and simply take for granted that their client base will return as soon as their service does......idiots.

It annoys the hell out of me that there is no info about this!

Hehe, yeah,  that's why it does take so long: The bugfix & balance patch as a surprisefor the community, was more work than approximated. ;-)

I am really amazed by this. Is there such huge problems or do they simply do not care about their CUSTOMERS?

Reply #70 Top

Yeah, that's why.

And if it's not fixed today, it won't be at least until monday, I guess.

I have a feeling it is not even a person responsible for this disaster. It would be great if we could get time to update! Or no one dares?

sorry. its a German translated text. my english is fatal.

i dunno LoL is alright but i can never play it out of enjoyment like I do with demigod. It's only fun competitive and with so many griefers that is taken too:( I haven't touched ranked in a while. Then 4 out of 5 games i lose because of out of control circumstances (leave/feed/rage). That's 4 hours of wasted time !

I have friends who just got the game and, sadly, refuse to use Hamachi. Great intro the game, not being able to use the main feature.
