Thanks for trying to put all this together.  I had an instance where this occurred.  I'll add some details.  Playing a 3v3.  The connectivity screen pops up.  I notice that I can see everyone chatting EXCEPT one other player.  Somone on my team indicated that they could see what this other player was saying.  I'm guessing that me and the other player could not see each other for some reason.  I was the host of this game.  I think this has to do with the host disconnect handling and assigning a random seat to report stats in the event the host drops.  Anyway, I actually hear my CPU fan start to speed up.  My computer is pretty stable.  Even with demigod.  I eventually am able to drop the game via control+alt+delete.  About 30 seconds pass (the time it would take for me to lag out) and my team is back in the game along with everyone on the other team.  The stats for the game appear as incomplete.  http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/1006915/player/28414/.  There's a game replay from Kalel here (though I doubt that will help.  I believe I dropped out somewhere between 5-8 minutes.  http://www.gamereplays.org/demigod/replays.php?game=51&tab=popular&show=details&id=97585.  I did not have any crash message and the game appeared to be functioning as expected (but the CPU fan kicking up a notch was not such a good thing). 

Futile - please be sure to open a ticket with support if possible as well. 

About the stats. When I had this the stats for the game weren't incomplet.

I just received an e-mail from stardock, asking for me to run their report program after the next crash.  In case one of you experience it before I do, here's the letter:

Yesterday (10-13-09), I literally could not complete a single game of demigod due to this problem.  I was able to get into a total of 4 games.  In 3 of them, the connectivity screen came up and froze the game permanently for all players.  In the 4th game, I was just simply booted out of my game, crash to desktop, and I'm sure my teammates saw a disconnect screen pop up while this was happening.  I should also note that while my team did go on to win this game (Yay!), my game list shows this to be a loss for me (Booo):

I'm not one to whine about DG's flaws, as I really enjoy the game and appreciate the work that went into it -- but even my patience has been tested as of late.  Last night was the first time that I just had to stop playing DG because of its bugs and switch to something else.

I've been in atleast 10 games now in the last 2 days this very issue has occurred.  I'd have to guess its a proxy connection issue of some kind because its weird that only 2 players would lose connection to each other. Stupid P2P is retarded as hell.  Should;ve had dedicated servers since day one for these very dumb reasons.

I hate the fact that you can't even end your game. You have to end task.  And typically once one person end tasks, then the game continues on. Sometimes it takes 2 people.  What is weird though is that it just doesn't do anything, just sits there with no counter.
