Demigod Forums
Everytime without fail it will freeze and become unresponsive after the opening cinematic or if I skip through it. I looked around on here and didn't find anything regarding this problem.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I do notice it locks up for a minute or two, but then it seems to work and load normally. Try loading it and grabbing a soda while you wait for it to load. If it still doesn't load after 10 minutes, then come back and see if you meet the minimum requirements.
yes in fact it wait for the authentification server, after the cinematic, sometimes you could think its crashed but you have to wait 5 good minutes for the menu to launch.
i am having the same problem, i wait till the game loads, and then i get an error, and then the game freezes. i wish i could see what error i am getting but the screen goes grey over the error window.
Also post your specs and what you're running in the background. You might have something running that's hogging resources. I've not had any problems with loading the game up at all yet, but my machine is pretty beefy:
Operating System: Windows XP, Version 5.1.2600
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 4.00 GB DDR2 Corsair Dominator
Video Card: EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260
Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio -Ditgal/Optical
I have been having the same issue.
As of now, Demigod will temporarily lock up whenever it does something network related. Apparently this includes loading the main menu after the cinematic, because it is the same type of lockup that I get with networking processes. It has always loaded the main menu eventually for me. Sometimes the menu takes 5 minutes and sometimes it takes 30 seconds to load, but it has never been instant for me.
also, the game was working fine for me until today when the host of an online game quit bc no one else could join. nothing else has changed so i am not sure what could be wrong.
Worked right away just now. Seems to take anywhere from immediately to 3 minutes to load up for me. Weird. At least it works fine.
There is an update check at startup, but due to the server load issues (which we're trying to resolve right now) it may time out. If it does, the game should continue on after two minutes at most. Single player or LAN should work without further pauses, but the multiplayer menus will behave similarly if the servers are loaded.
ok, now my game is working just fine, but are the servers down because i cant see anyone in the custom game lists.
also check your firewalls. I was getting a lockup after the intro but it was because my firewall was asking for permission to let DG access the internet but I couldnt see it because the game was in the way. I couldnt minimize because the game was locked up trying to get to the server. I eventually got the permission box to the front and now it works fine.
