I Need Help

from Stardock Forums

So last night, my game was working fine. This morning, I have a lot of problems with it. Everytime I try to load a map, it stalls on the loading screen. The hotbar UI pops up with the top menus, and the middle of the screen has the glowing animation, but the map never loads. There is a huge amount of activity with the HDD LED during this time as well. The tip also pops up with [No Text] constantly, which indicates some crash.

Now, I know my ISP has been kind of screwy, but am not sure if this would be affecting the game or not.  All of my other online applications seem to work, but have been having problems accessing some webpages since last night (DNS troubles on their end?). The only real change I have made on the PC during the last day, was disabling BTDNA from ever loading again. Stupid DNA.exe kept gettin' on my machine from another installer (I think) so had to keep that from running. This game doesn't use DNA.exe as a process, does it?

Anyways, posted below is as far as my game gets when loading today. Not sure why, but if anyone can help, please feel free. Oh, also, I already verified installation and everything was good. Submitting an eMail to Stardock Support as well, but was hoping someone here may know what is up.

If that is all you see then your PC has been possessed, taken over by the devil. Once he starts talking and you hear Christopher Lee's voice please comply with any demands he might make, for your own protection.

Found the solution on another thread. You need to delete the Game.prefs file from the C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod folder. It wipes all your saved settings and your login info, but, my maps are loading again.

Glad you found the solution... I had this before as well and resolved the issue the same as you.
