Aaah! It's a bug!

September 4, 2008 2:53:08 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

*splat*

So here we go. I don't know **** about this stuff , and this is the worst computer ever.

800 euro's for an single core+ integrated videocard, 1gb ram, no upgrade oppurtunities, not including screen:P?

 Anyway, I start up, select multiplayer->LAN, and launch... loading screen -> error.

Because I know they're going to want to know, can you post your PC specs and OS?

^^ as above. Although if its a integrated card, it may simply be that demigod doesent support it i.e. if its nvidia/ati integrated then thats proberbly "OK" - other than that i.e. via/intel etc (yet, or wont at all - many games dont)

Why don't you run dxdiag like was requested in another official post?  That may give your video chipset, etc.

I've a feeling if you post your dxdiag you'll see that your video card lacks proper DX version support.

Demigod IS NOT a DirectX10 only game, saying it's only a DX9.0c card won't help the situation (after all, my 800GT can only run in DX9.0c mode under Windows XP... cue the dramatic; DUN-DUN-DUUUNNN.).

however, Xpress 200's are based off X300 cores. the X300 lacks proper SM3.0 support and there's a dubious doubt if the beta runs properly without it.

He stated in the OP he's running Intel Integrated, which means that there's no way in hell he's running the game.

As for LUA, Demigod is massively comprised of LUA, like the preceding game (in technical terms anyway) Supreme Commander. We have a largeish modding community already and modding Demigod has proven to be extremely similar already.

aww. DeadMG, you could have pointed out that i'm part of that largish community that proved it was extremely similar.

(shameless pimping of my own mods incoming) afterall, i was the first to publicly release a mod for Demigod.

 

back on topic. lifekatana, what flavour of windows are you using? (probably wise to indicate if this it's an x86 or an x64 version too)

and it's not an Intel Int. DeadMG.

Unless someone except Intel makes shitty integrated?

Oh, ATi X200? Rofl, that thing's not even DirectX 9b. It's a four year old card which was bottom of the heap at the time.
