Same problem here but a little bit different. Instead of pressing ESC i click 'til the last video freezes and i can hear the wind blowing, usually after waiting 10-20 secs the menu pops up, though sometimes i can press ESC and skip all the vids without any problem. I think somethings messed up with the UI.

I'm going to +1 myself onto this topic. To add some more information. When I originally installed the game, I was able to get hours of gameplay out of it. After I updated the patch, the game will freeze after I click through the opening cinematic. If I sit and watch the whole cinematic and wait, it will occasionally let me into the game. This all occured after that last patch.

 

I removed the Intro.bik file as was recommended here and the game locks up for a minute, skips the cut scene and then lets me play.

I am having this problem as well, but on the rare occasion that I am allowed to get to the main menu, clicking anything results in the same freeze. Alt-tabbing does not work; control-alt-delete -> task manager -> tab back to Demigod seems to make the menu display properly as long as Demigod actually feels like restoring itself after being minimized.


Fun stuff.

Uninstalling, downloading, and reinstalling ALL via Impulse seems to have solved the problem for me, for now.  Coulda been something GSG did during the time it took to do all that, but I can play nonetheless.

Now to get around the NAT issues

I actually fixed the issue on my computer.  My firewall has a popup when a new program is trying to connect to the internet to ask if its ok.  For whatever reason the game didnt minimize when this popup came up (probally becasue it didnt start in the same resolution as my desktop 1680x1050).  Once I was able to bring the permission box forward by pressing the windows key and allow the game to access the internet the problem was solved.  Hope this helps some people.

Today and lastnight I was able to play, but when I started game I had to let the game at start up play through all the BS games have you do before you can get to the menu.  After the intro movie it take 10-20 seconds for the main menu to show.  the clicking through the menu can be slow respones from clicking on menu.  I have duo core 2.8GHz with a NIVIDIA GeForce 8800GT gc so I can run this thing pretty sweet when I am playing.  Most awesome graphics yet for a game I think.  Internet play is laggy but I am also running on a 256kbs connection but yet haven't really had any lag problems in online games.  Downloading updates tedius but other than that, I sure hope they fix stuff on next patch!!!

Still having the problem intermittantly again. Same as the above, gets through, you can hear the wind blowing, but its frozen. Sometimes you wait a few seconds and you pass right through. Other times, it just stays that way. Been like this since the patch.

My issue has been resolved after patch.  Now when I am online trying to connect... is another story!  Someone always never connects and I am not able to kick people who aren't connecting.

The game then keeps trying to load the textures over and over again.
