Launch Problem + partial solution 1.20.0211

November 30, 2009 5:32:53 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Prior to patch 1.20 I could launch Demigod without issue.

Since then when I launch from the desktop or from within Impulse, it won't launch, nothing happens.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, validating, etc.

I went into the program folder.  When I double-click on the icon "Demigod" in the bin folder it won't lauch.

When I click on the icon "DemigodLaunch" in the bin folder, it launches fine.

So, problem solved, but since "DemigodLaunch" has no icon, it doesn't look like things are working as intended, and the game still won't run from within Impulse.

Any further solutions are welcome.

Try running as administrator?

Hmmmm, thanks, but beyond my technical expertise.  Is there an easy way to run as an administrator?

Right click, "run as administrator"(2nd image, non-xp ). Simple as that. Or edit the properties so that the program is always launched as administrator.(1st image )

Windows XP.  Will upgrade soon but that's what it is now.

Okay, this is dumb, and I apologize for my noobishness... but by right clicking the Demigod icon and selecting "Run as..." I was able to choose administrator.  BUT it wants a password, and won't let me enter a blank password.  I'm pretty sure I never set an administrator password, and tried the passwords I commonly use just in case it might work, but anyway.  But interesting idea I'd like to try it, will keep working on the administrator part.

EDIT: Alrighty, I set my administrator password, and ran Demigod as an administrator, and there were no changes.  Demigod still wouldn't launch from the Demigod icon.
