Possible Solution: Game running slow

We think we've found something

from Demigod Forums

We uncovered a bizarre but reproduceable scenario where Google Desktop running while Demigod was running caused Demigod's framerate, particularly in MP, to absolutely tank. It comes across as making the game extremely laggy (i.e. fine for 3 seconds, then a pause, etc.).

We don't know why this is, but I wanted to make sure you guys are aware of it.

my 0.5 frame rate problem seems to be tied to the sound.  If i run demigod with the shortcut appended with /nosound the game runs as smooth as silk.  As soon as I turn on the sound it tanks.

Same here. I'm not running Google Desktop.
