Reply to Game has been released, and the sound popping issue still persists in Demigod Stardock Forums

[quote who="Vryllyn" reply="5" id="2144878"]I had sound popping issue when I first bought HL2, years ago. Had the same issues with VtM:Bloodlines as well, and it turned out to be an Engine issue. With that said, I've read on countless forums that people have problems with SoundBlaster cards and sound popping. I've experienced this same problem with my on-board RealTek sound, due to they cannot write drivers to save their lives and when I would upgrade, every game would start to pop

[quote who="droper66" reply="5" id="2144865"]I think it is unrealistic to require router modification as a requirement to play a game online. The average gamer is not a network technician nor do they want to go to that trouble. [/quote] Seriously? Port forwarding is often necessary, especially with bad routers and P2P netcode. There are hundreds of PC games that require port forwarding. Yes, it would be better if Demigod could better circumvent NAT so port forwarding would n

Reply to Game has been released, and the sound popping issue still persists in Demigod Stardock Forums

Sound crackling/sound popping is a nasty glitch but I doubt that Demigod is responsible. There are many things that can cause such issues, and it is no surprise to me that Creative's sound cards are once again doing this (they have a history of it, sadly, although other cards and chipsets can have the same problem). The best you can hope for is tweaking your settings (CMSS 3D and all of that) to find something the reduces or eliminates the sound glitch. Sound cards and drivers ar

Well, try updating the following drivers and see if it helps. If it does not help, you should contact Stardock support and tell them the steps you have already taken to resolve the issue. It may be an obscure bug. -Video card (nvidia.com) -Motherboard (gateway.com) -BIOS (gateway.com) -Sound chipset (check Device Manager to identify it and then visit the maker's site for drivers; Windows Key + Pause key, then click Device Manager, and expand the Audio/Sound Con

Do you happen to notice the hard disk thrashing a lot when it hangs like that? HDD light going non-stop, making noise, etc. How much space is left on your hard drive? Is it heavily fragmented? Do you have System Restore enabled? Do you have the Indexing Service enabled? When the game stops responding in the middle of a match, what do you see and hear? Does the screen literally freeze at whatever you were seeing in-game? Does the sound stop? Does it continue normally?

Easy there. Before you start kicking and screaming, demanding a refund, allow Stardock and the community to assist you. You will need to provide the following information, at the very least: -Your system specifications, including CPU, memory, video card, operating system, sound card/onboard sound, and any background applications that may be running, such as anti-virus or chat -Provide greater detail: What is "takes forever?"

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Developer Perspective in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote who="WarlokLord" reply="3" id="1905531"] Criticisms these are not - these are suggestions. As I stated, "From some of what I have read, it seems that the Assassins are bereft of the more conventional direct-command powers of Generals, to whatever degree Generals will ultimately possess them in this game." In other words I *am* aware that the precise powers that Generals utilize are unknown at this time. TheBigOne, Good!...[/

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Developer Perspective in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Considering that we haven't even been exposed to the functions and abilities of Generals, I would hold off such criticisms. I'm going to assume that Generals do not behave purely as RTS-like command units, as you suggest. Regardless, you shouldn't draw conclusions until GPG releases more details.

Reply to Bug: Game slowdown on 2v2 map in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Going to add a "same here" to this. Once the big units start to spawn (Giants, mainly), there are HUGE bottlenecks. Dozens and dozens of units (no hyperbole) spawn and get stuck along corners, buildings, and walls, usually around the same area. For the mines map, that means the first corner after the base (the sharp turn with the defensive structures). Once the units start to build up, memory usage spikes and the game slowly descends into a crawl.

Reply to Performance Issues in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

So is this a sound-related thing? It seems that a lot of performance issues these days are the result of wonky sound cards and/or poor drivers. I, however, have no issues with my Razer Barracuda, which shares a chipset in common with some of the Asus Xonar cards. Any Xonar users out there having trouble, or are you also in the clear?

[Suggestion] Diversified Units in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Is there any chance of mixing up the AI armies so there is some diversity of models? I cite two reasons for why this is important: -Visual variety, to increase the appeal of the design and to add more flavor to the aesthetics -Unit differentiation, so players can tell by unit silhouette the side of the unit and its purpose (right now, the size and the slight color differences between the units serves this purpose); present unit differentiation is a bit lacking What doe

[Bug] Cannot Directly Change AI Character in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Here's the issue: While in the lobby, the host cannot change that Demigods assigned to the AI players. If Demigods have already been assigned by the host, he cannot use the change character option to change them, but must first kick the bots and then assign new characters. In other words, an option that should work (Demigod change) does not appear to work for AI players who have already been assigned a Demigod. This does not seem to be an issue for human players. <

Something that the devs may want to consider tweaking: Changing characters while in the lobby results in a message detailing how player x changed to character y. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no cooldown to this message, so rapidly clicking a character will instantly flood the chat lobby.

When following fleeing units (I've only tested this as Unclean, but feel free to share your own feedback), my hero will stop every few seconds instead of running non-stop in order to catch his target. It seems that this hero (perhaps all heroes) will stop running every few seconds when auto-chasing a slower enemy, making it impossible to catch them.

The game starts to choke a bit if you minimize it a few times.

Memory Leak? in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

So, the game seems to shoot up in memory use if alt-tabbed multiple times. While initial memory use hovers around 500 MB, if alt-tabbing while playing, that number can surpass 800 MB. Is this a known issue? Most games may increase a bit in their memory footprint when repeatedly minimized, but certainly not by 60%.
