On another note, some people forget how much GalCiv and Sins SUCKED during beta. Elemental, I can assure you, will suck 10X worse than the Demigod betas did. I will make it a point to ensure that is the case. :) As for what is making Demigod increasingly fun: The answer is time. That is, Demigod was not designed to last an hour. Sins, by contrast, was designed to have games that last an hour. But a typical Demigod game should last between 15 minute

Yea for Demigod, Stardock itself is building the backend. So you'll have ladder and tournaments and all that good stuff. That will go a long way to building a multiplayer community. Plus, the single player game is shaping up pretty well.

Unknown, as I mentioned to you yesterday I thought, your Demigod purchase isn't associatd with this account. I have to know what the other account is. I'm happy to help people but I can't merge accounts without knowing both email addresses in question.

BTW, great UI fix!

[quote who="Pelorn" reply="4" id="2023848"]If you can't log in there is currently one solution: Use a non-pirated version of Windows.[/quote] No, that's only the case for about 25% of the players. Another 70% ran into it because they used a different email address to purchase the game than the one they set up for their account. They'll need to contact [email protected] and merge accounts.

[quote]At the same time, if we look at something such as the Blizzard Starcraft game (and Sc2 coming out soon), it was obviously widely popular world-wide and yet it did cater to the "hard core" crowd...Can't get more hard core than the professional players in Korea [e digicons]:)[/e] . This tends to make me believe that it is NOT impossible to create a widely popular game, with a huge customer base...and STILL cater to the "hard core player". Of course, for such a thing to happen, we ca

[quote]Innociv: Every single game i've seen of more than a hundred games got featurelocked within 2-4 months of release. I simply can't believe that in the last two months before release a game can shape up from the acceptable minimum to outstanding timeless classic. But I BADLY want to be prooved wrong.[/quote] Well I don't think Demigod will ever be to your liking. Heck, I'm not even sure Sins of a Solar Empire is to your liking. Let's

That's why it's a beta. We're testing for this kidn of thing. Could you tell us more about your Internet connection, what version of Impulse you have, what OS you're running, hardware?

[quote who="RavingLuney" reply="13" id="2023924"]I recently heard that people can't log in because they have pirated windows, now i'm not normally one to complain but i think i'm being called a fucking pirate, hey and i was excited by this game but now i'm having second thoughts because the devs are jumping extremely quickly to conclusions before it seems they have even looked into the problem[/quote] Most people who can't logon can't because they ordered under a different email.

The specs look fine to me. It's far better than some of the test machines we have and it plays fine there.

There is an option for #2. You'll have to contact [email protected] and let them know your two email accounts and they'll merge it. I've asked the team to create a page where you will be able to do this yourselves for the future.

Anything better than an ATI X1600 or a Geforce 6800. Here's a good one for $30. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121259 You'll need to find out if you have PCI Express or AGP though (you probably have PCI Express whichi s good).

There are 2 primary causes to this: 1. People who have a pirated copy of Windows XP aren't able to use some of the validation functions of the OS that the system relies on. We're looking intow hat to do about that. 2. People who bought Demigod with a different email address than the one that they used to create their Impulse account.

Big thanks to Ragarth, mogglepies, ranbir, xan, heavnefall for hanging out with us on IRC and helping us test all kinds of different networking scenarios.

Need some system info.

Here are some problems we've found so far today: 1. If you have played a game online already, something isn't being reset and as a result, the game won't let you connect to a second game because it thinks you're still in a game. So after a game, you will need to restart Demigod for now. 2. We are running into a bug where the Game ID being sent to the server isn't right and thus tries to connect the wrong players which, of course, results in the player not being able to c

Upgrades help the entire team.

We're seeing successful connections at around 50%. A bit less than what we had hoped for for this build. But no where near 0%. We're working on it.

Yea, we've seen this. Thanks!

No, I think that would stink. I like them behaving as grenades. I think what might be better is if the mines disappeared after say 120 seconds.

Need a bit more data here. System specs would be a good start.

Request: Could you try a game where it's ONLY assassins. I have a hypothesis that it's the minions of the generals that cause this.

Good catch.

Good catch.

Thanks!
