I use 'cursorlock' to keep the mouse on the demigod screen. Great little program. I do wish the game would let me use the 2nd screen for the 'mega'map (wouldn't be mini if it took up the whole screen :D) . I loved the Supcom implementation.
I use cursor lock, and it allows you to set up a shortcut to play the game .. once setup you just use the shortcut like normal and don't have to do anything special. Very nifty.
just joined the steam group. Good idea :)

aren't ladder games in war3 hosted by blizzard though? Not stating as a fact, just curious as that's how I thought it happened.
replays would help with this kind of thread :)
[quote who="TravCarp" reply="22" id="2162917"] Quoting rockerest, reply 24 Is a demo SHORTLY forthcoming? Can anyone point me to an HTTP served pirate version? I would just like to try this game before I buy it. HAHAHA OMFG what a retard. Serious, you come on the game developers website, asking for a link to a pirated version of THERE GAME? Holy shit. You have balls man.[/quote] What you seem to fail to understand is th
for others having trouble launching the game, there is also a known conflict with google desktop AND the stardock guys have released a exe that works around it for many (but not all) people. http://forums.demigodthegame.com/346146/page/3/#replies
if you don't have a demo prior to release, people will pirate it to try it out (and steal it too of course, in many cases). No amount of moral high ground 'waggling of fingers' and tut-tutting will change that. Some people simply will not buy without trying.. who can blame them? Just make sure the product you buy is better than the pirate version, and you'll convert some of them. That's the best you can hope for.

exe works here, and (for the benefits of those with cursor lock issues) you can still get the cursor to lock in cursor lock 2.5 by choosing the stub exe as the first file but then choosing demigod.exe as the exe to lock the cursor to! :)

what other programs would have similar behaviour to google desktop? No idea why it would interfere with demigod, but it does.. anyone out there got any clue about this?
one good thing about getting more legit players onto gameranger, is that eventually the pirates will wonder what all these higher version games have that they don't. ... might even help convert a few from the dark side.
OK, I've found a solution for those whose cursor moves to another screen. Grab cursor lock 2.5 http://download.cnet.com/Cursor-Lock/3000-2072_4-10767852.html And you can create a shortcut for demigod that has the cursor locked to the screen. Yey! Means I can keep my second monitor on when playing the game.
We can't have those Euro types winning games now can we :D

I don't have google desktop installed... but I once did. Let me try and make sure it properly uninstalled itself. edit: it was still there! bleh. Uninstalled it and demigod starts just fine now. Nice detective work :) Hopefully the Devs can fix the Google Desktop conflict because it is a handy program to have.
Full screen.. but i have a helluva time getting the game to load to begin with (i.e. I'm one of the poor buggers that has to spam the run icon heaps.. so that probably ruins the lock)
Anyone know of a way to prevent the mouse heading onto the next screen, if you have 2 monitors? Most games lock the mouse, but for some reason Demigod doesn't. Drives me nuts as I am used to edge movement with the mouse.
I'd like to know this too. Why allow changes to only some of the hotkeys?

Same issue here; Win XP SP3 Nvidia 8800 320mb E6400 core 2 duo 2gb RAM 6.14.0011.8208 Nvidia drivers. Can only get the game working by spamming the run button. Pretty annoying stuff guys.... shouldn't have to trawl support forums just to START the game.

Agree with littleoz, sticky the update info into the general forum, might help stop the 50 'oeh noehs can't connect' threads :)
As someone said earlier, why are pirate versions able to flood the server at all? Shouldn't access be login based? Or are you saying that all of them trying to hit the server denies it to everyone else??
It's fair enough at the time of launch.. whether that really reflects the longer term true value in the game is the age old problem of 'how-to-review games' that game journalists and companies are still struggling with. But given that you know that release window reviewing is how the system works currently, getting the networking right at launch becomes critical in a mp focused game... if you want good scores. No point complaining. Perhaps you could formally request gam
In a mp focussed game, getting the networking right is essential. It impacts on player experience. Gamespot are right IMO, to call stardock out on it. HOWEVER, they should revisit the game and revise the score if the mp problems are addressed, but I doubt that will happen (i.e. gamespot won't come back to it outside of the release window.. not enough clicks)
