Extremely Laggy at times and some more issues.

from Demigod Forums

At times in-game the screen freezes for more than 2 seconds which shouldn't happen with my mid-high grade computer. There are some pathing issues when you click for long distances, minions get stuck sometimes, when an enemy is teleporting you stop trying to attack them automatically( and can't command to attack them again).  Minion control is still bad( when you set them to do something it takes a while or they do not go straight to the destination).  The Rook is still able to move faster than anyone else on the field of play if given the right set of buffs. There should be a limit on how fast he can run(he has stun(boulder) and slam for goodness sakes).

I agree with the lag.I get the same issues.

Especially when the round is over, when the camera tries to pan around the arena.

It stutters and jerks and freezes.

And I have a decent system too (2.5 core 2 duo, 8gb ram, 8600GT 256mb, WD Caviar Black HDD w/ 32mb cache).

 

However...

I have to disagree about the Rook! :-)

Other demigods could move just as fast if they invested in the movement items too!
I think it's just that the Rook focuses on those items due to his initial slower speed.

I've played against an UB who could outrun my fully upgraded Rook.

Although, I would hate to go up against an UB that was able to purchase the All Father Ring, the Belt of Giants, the Mageslayer, and various other items. Ouch!

As the Rook, by the second half of the game I usually have those from saving and waiting then I can demolish other demigods. But without it, I'm slow and fairly week. Effective against buildings and minions, but not so much against demigods.

It's not lag and it's not your compurers' fault. Game is still a beta, not a demo, and have performace issues, even more if you have sound reverb activated.

 

Pathing, minions and stuff are still being worked on, and there are like a thousand threads suggesting ways for them to work properly yet to be implemented.

 

Once again: beta, not demo, not OpenBeta.

Understood. It wasn't a complaint, more of a comment on (or affirmation of) an issue being experienced in the beta.

If everyone just silently attributed their issues to "Well...it is just a beta" and never mentioned them in the beta feedback, the devs would either not know of the issue, or not know the extent of the issue. (And I did read about the stuff they are working on, thanks though!) :thumbsup:


Anywho, I mostly wanted to defend my favorite walking castle... ;P
