Help! Can't host!

September 7, 2008 12:35:41 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Well, I decided to pre-order the game today.  I downloaded the beta and ran it without any trouble.  The problem is that when I try to host a LAN game, after choosing a name and port for it, it comes up with a windows saying:

"Trying to connect..."

And it indefinately stays there.  I've tried both using the "Auto Port" function and specifying a port.  I've also turned off the Windows Firewall.  Still no progress.  Anyone else have this problem and how do I fix?

(I'm running Vista x64.  Don't know if that would have anything to do with it.)

Yes, I created a profile.

So I'm pretty sure it's an issue with Vista x64, cuz I was able to get it to work on XP with the same computer.  I'm still trying new things to get it to work.

Anyone running Vista x64 get it to work?

It's fine on my Vistax64 without any special modifications. I turned UAC off and Demigod is in firewall exceptions. Try creating another profile.

Thanks for you help.  I read from another post that creating another profile WILL in fact fix the problem.

...so that means I went through all that trouble to get XP on for nothing?

You can boot it up for when your pretentious Mac friends come over.
