[BUG] cannot launch Demigod

from Demigod Forums

Hello,

 

i cannot make demigod start since some days :/
i didn't find anything related to this in the forum that's why ...

When i try to launch from impulse, my cursor changes during 2 sec and then ... nothing
i tried to launch directly from folder but that's not better
 tried also to uninstall/reinstall and my Impulse is updated like my Demigod

 

Windows XP SP2

Intel Q6850

2Go RAM

Nvidia 9800 GX2

This is most likely not a demigod related issue, but confined to your setup.  What have you changed in the last several days?  Any other games on your system?  Do those run fine?  Does anything show up on the task manager?

End of Gabberkooij's quote

that is the question.

 

if not, try copy-pasing;

Code: xml
  1. %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Gas Powered Games\Forge

and deleting

Code: xml
  1. Game.prefs

no, just uninstall the drivers and DG will start working.

 

IINM, it's not the drivers themselves but some funny effects filters installed for video chat or what-not. if you can uninstall those before the rest of the drivers, you might get away with keeping them on!

OMG , Thanks a lot , i had Mic Pb (Incorporate in the Webcam) and re installed it Just before the Demigod Update

 

I spend 4 hours yesterday of Download Install uninstall Reinstall Etc

of Impulse/Demigod in order to make it work + Check Parameters / Option

Sorry to thread hijack. I havn't installed a logitech webcam, demigod beta 1 C was working fine 2 hours before the update. I have deleted the GAME.prefs file and it still doesnt work with the "unable to create direct3d" error message. Redownloaded twice, updated graphics drivers and checked for any direct X updated to no avail.

The only possible explanation i have is that i was running the game in windowed mode before the update. but surely thats what deleting the game.prefs would solve???

Please post a dxdiag report. You can do so by:

Click Start->Run-> type in dxdiag and click OK.

Once it finishes, click the Save All button, give it a name, then open that file up in Notepad, copy+paste everything to pastebin.com or similar, and post the link here (please do not paste the report directly here as very long texts like that can make the page difficult to read).
