Stuck at map loading screen

from Demigod Forums

When I have tried playing games online and offline it goes to the map loading screen and it sits there. The center icon is pulsing as usual, but nothing happens. After about 2 minutes or so I start to hear the ambient sounds of wind blowing very lightly.

 

When I tried to join a friend's game both of us had this happen. So I am not sure what to do. I am not sure if anyone else had this issue. Was I keeping him from joining the game by my inability to load, or is there something wrong that we just don't understad?

Yeah, there is a thread around here somewhere...  I think the steps are to uncheck "show beta/alpha releases" in the Impulse preferences and then right-click the game and choose Verify Install which should tell you that you are broken.  After that do a Check for Updates and Demigod should need to be updated.  Download the update and you will be back at the non-alpha/beta version.

Yup, same problem here. Worked fine until about 5pm today...then every game seems to hang on the loading screen. SP loads fine, even an mp game every now and then. However, the majority seem to hang.

Was doing fine with the beta version for a while, but starting yesterday, every custom game me and my friend try, freezes at map load.

Reverted to 105 to fix, but 108 was working much better multiplayer wise before it broke.

EDIT: Did some more testing on 108 today, since 105 keeps unhandled exceptioning on me. Everytime I hosted a custom game and choose Unclean Beast, Regulas, or Queen of Thorns it would get stuck on map load screen.  With any of the other demigods, it loaded fine.

In LAN mode, I could start games fine with every demigod.
