Yep, I've done the first method once, but then other apps had problems with it, and I need them for work, so it's better not playing Demigod for now than not working (I need money). I'll try the other methods, but it is just a remainder for them to fix it in next releases, as I don't think anybody will want the final game to have the same problems.
PLEASE! A fix for us that have non-ascii folders on Documents and Settings, like mine: C:\Documents and Settings\kBessa\Configura çõ es locais\Dados de aplicativos\Gas Powered Games\Forge
Same thing here, I have 0.62.015 here, Brazilian Portuguese Windows. The game stucks at the VS. screen. Is it really that hard to fix this? It's been an issue since first beta release, it's just said because I haven't been able to play it and I was in the very first beta (pre-ordered the boxed a whole lot of months ago).
