Failed Assertion. 'nuff said. this is something the dev's (particularly the ones in charge of WinMain) will understand.

unless one of the dev's specifically needs it, i think a DXDiag report will only waste space.

just a small update; i googled _controlfp and discovered that it has something to do with the precision that the engine calculates floating point numbers (for the layman; how fractions and decimals work in the game, maths stuff) with respect to special circuits on new/old CPUs... that is unless i've found a different _controlfp and am talking out my butt.

maybe that DXDiag report might be useful afterall...

This assert hits when another application messes with the floating point precision of the cpu. Try closing other applications before running demigod, and if you find out which one, let us know. I just saw this on another thread with Winamp.

Hope this helps!

it helps me! so when i next see people with that issue, i'll point them to this thread and get them to kill off Winamp and any other suspects.

just for the record; WMP works fine alongside DG. turn off visualisations and it uses nigh on 8MB of RAM.

Always good to know. I think I've left itunes open too when I've run DG, so that likely works too. Uses a lot more RAM, but oh well.
