Thanks for the replies all very helpful, I think the general consensus is wait for civ 5 which is exactly what I plan on doing now. Its a shame, this game had lots of potential.

I've played the 1.0 version and its clearly a 20 - 30 game at that level. What about 1.07 is that worth $50? I have a feeling elemental will fizzle quickly like demigod and in a few months I'll be able to get it for $20
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="50" id="2360354"]How is Demigod "hella broken" for you? How does Impulse not work for you? Have you contacted [email protected] ?[/quote] oh contact support there's an idea. lol yes been there for weeks. I gave up after going in circles th
I do HON now, demigod is hella broken for me. but I wont refund for a few reasons even though I do feel the overall implementation of demigod was terrible. 1. no DRM crap 2. innovative concept not a copy paste of dota like hon & lol 3. it was 40$ 4. hopefully this will be a learning experience & support sup com 2 I flirted with the idea of getting elemental but now that impulse hates me I wont
yep been talking to support ever since still an issue I dont know how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled. Hope they give me a new HDD after all this :)
update = broken game now bah... impulse is cranky with something won't update itself and the manual DL from the front page DL saection keeps saying its corrupt when i DL it. Don't have a problem with any other game. so I'm kind of SOL right now. Impulse won't update even after fresh install so demi won't update so no I'm boned. at least I'm in the HON beta which runs far better anyways, whats the point of a
nope avg off adaware off punkbuster off steam off etc.... erm... there has to be a way to do this manually correct? any demigod patches floating around on the interwebs? this is the only game that is giving me trouble.
hmmm same here. uninstall and reinstall demigod / impulse wont update either. invalid MD5 hash check. well I guess its fate but I got into the HON beta so GG stardock ya have to be a tad more resilient if ya cant download properly when people have anti virus your not doing it right. The HON beta seems of superior quality to 1 month post release demigod GPG get your stuff together S2 is out doing you. gonna try with AVG off and re
Mirrorsaw It is a 3v3 game first he leaves @ 80% health a 2 on 2 situation I die. 2nd he goes afk for a couple of minutes. Then just randomly leaves 10 minutes later, about mid match could go either way. Luckily the AI was better and we won the 3V2.
a friend that used my 20$ coupon played his first 4v4 last night, he has the same issue. Kind of confused how modern broadband speeds aren't enough. It seems like the netcode is atrocious.
my 3v3 has worked since 1.04~ with only occaional spikes.
1.1 4v4 still broken although it appears slightly less severe.
yeah I thought about that due to DOS attacks and all, but posted anyway just incase there was a common route + hiccup. I'm sure GPG or even SD could come up with some basic app to configure packet size and test connections. maybe through 8 proxies / geographically different SD,GPG servers with mock demigod packets. Something to shed light on the problem would be nice.
Thursday 8-9 the list was full
i just discovered specialized favor items after like 20 games [e digicons]:grin:[/e] they should include some kind of tutorial. as for reading the manual lets be honest when was the last time a game came with a manual that was useful? Homeworld last I recall so I have been ignoring manuals for years now. I would love for games to have useful manuals again.
@ XSive_Death have you tried to do a tracert to 209.124.63.231 or anything like that? I would be interested in the results do multiple runs if you decide to give it a try.
since the hard part creating an engine was already done. Putting models/animations and stats in are considerably less work then making the game. after 2/4 free ones 1$/per demigod
I played 4v4 in sup com just fine on the same ISP.
its not nics, routers, p2p throttling, or modems. It has to be ISPs and netcode. We are kind of powerless at this point.

from a long term perspective i think they should support demigod. I am seriously considering getting elemental but neglected to pre order it after taking hours to get into one 3v3 match with my friends. If they do well with demigod i can be assured they will do right with elemental. they need to fix this game to keep face with the newer customers otherwise GPG's and Stardock's growth will be stunted. i am honestly confused
its clear they released incomplete and way to soon. The side effects of that will be a quick death for the community. Unless the game pulls a 180 in a month or so I dont think it will be a strong game for long.
also side note annoyance. I cant use the keypad when chatting.
I have a teryaon modem and a 8800 GT which is similar to the 9xxx series. I know games like quake wars had a weird features along the lines that ping affected FPS. I also know my sim speed would drop to 1 and 2 on 4 month old vid drivers after i updated them I was running at 5 no problem. Could the game be slowing down to a fake sim speed reading that isn't displayed but still active and miscalculated? I have seen an ATI user in previous posts so I d
