Problem #1 : Cannot launch/start Demigod, nothing happens when RUN is pressed.
Solution A : Demigod is known to have issues running alongside with Comodo AV/Firewall. Disable Defense+ in Comodo or Uninstall Comodo. (From Xodus and Mothra via demigod forums)
Solution B : We have identified a case where Demigod won’t launch.The Logitech QuickCam seems to prevent Demigod from launching. We don’t know why. Disable the tray item and it should work fine. (from Frogboy via demigod forums)
Solution C : (as posted by Shirley via demigod forums)
From within Impulse:
-Click the blue Stardock Logo in the upper left
-Choose ‘Preferences…’
-Click on the ‘Folders’ section on the left
-Click the ‘Reset Data’ button
-Close impulse and relaunch it. You may notice a long update time, which is normal as it is rebuilding the deleted info.
Problem #2 : Unhandled exception errors when starting / running Demigod
Solution A : Check Solution B for problem #1
Problem #3: Demigod Error message “unable to create Direct3D, please ensure system has current video drivers”
Solution A : Built-in graphics card especially Intel chipset graphic cards common on laptops cannot run Demigod. You’ll need to have a dedicated video card in order to play Demigod (as posted by TheCoreCommander)
Solution B : If you have a dedicated video that is supported by Demigod and you still get this error, make sure that your video card drivers are updated

Hi, I downloaded Demigod via impulse and it says that there is an update available. I tried to update but my copy wont update to whatever the latest version is. Is it just me encountering this update bug?
^ maybe coz you got demigod from impulse? Got mine from Gamestop. After the zero day patch, I’m getting random crashes / fatal errors everywhere from startup, mid game and after singleplayer tourney games.
Where can i download the standalone patch for demigod?
YES! finally got my copy to update. silly me, i changed my stardock name, changed it back and finally it let me update the game. Here’s where i got the solution :
http://forums.demigodthegame.com/346312
I guess that went through the game QA’s noses since there’s no way to test that part of the game in demigod’s year-long beta phase ;p
Any fix for the CTDs yet? The game crashes everytime a round ends
I’m still split on whether buying the game or saving up for better games that are yet to be released. Is it possible to play demigod on two computers with a single copy? According to the installation details on impulse, IT IS possible to install the game on multiple computers but it still doesn’t say clearly if you can play the same copy of demigod in multiple computers at the same time e.g. LAN game scenario.
thanks
I’ve recently acquired demigod, from a local vendor instead of the impulse virtual download and I’m encountering this weird graphics problem problem. There graphics are all trash and there are much clipping and distortion. Is there a way to fix this or has this bug been addressed in a previous post? helpful links would be fine too. thanks
In game crash with an exception error of 0xc0000005, hasn’t been answered anywhere.
i just installed the game and the sound skips on it, when i finally got it playing the picture was messed up and i couldn’t tell what was going on but i could still hear the voices in the game like it was playing.should i just take it back?
I tried all the things listed above and I still cant get the thing to launch. Never had a game where I had problems launching it
Problem #3
i’m having Nvidia 8800 ultra and the last drivers (182 WHQL)
But an error still appears !
(DirectX also have been installed…last version)
OS Windows XP SP3
RAM 3GB
Video: Nvidia 8800 Ultra 768 mb

Problem solved by changing resolution at the file c:\Documents and Settings\*****\My Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod\game.prefs
Standart resolution is 1280×1024:85Hz …damn programmers..no autodetect system…
hey, I was really curious about this game demigod,so am crazy about playing it soon, but guess what, I cannot install it. When I press the exe. file, it says: Warning: cannot open the lua files. Please someone avdise me what to do
any answers please, come on guys just a little bit of a help
Quad Core 2.4
2gig DRR2
Windows XP Pro w/ SP3
Nvidia 8600 GT w/ 182.5 update
I get a really strange flickering. Small white lines smaller than the width of a AAA battery start to run across my screen after playing Demigod for anywhere between 5 and 120 minutes. I can’t take a screen shot of them, because when it happens, they don’t show up! So it’s a monitor thing I’m guessing.
To compare the argument against a heat issue, this issue happens worse with STALKER: SoC before I can even get into the first camp, resulting in a crash. This also would happen when too many shield generators playing Supreme Commander. I played Crysis completely through and this didn’t happen once with the same setup.
The details of my monitor are:
Dell 3008WFP
Flat screen
22′
Correction: The correct monitor model is E228WFP
I get this error. I spent 40 bucks on the game and another 75 on a new video card to play it. I want and need this fixed.

I get the “video card drivers” error.
I have a 9600GT and the latest nvidia drivers …
If someone could help me here, it would be great.
I get the Problem #2 and even sometimes a BSoD. All drivers should be up to date. Also tried to turn the graphic settings in demigod as low as possible and turned of the sound - hardware acceleration and the sound quality ingame, without any effects.
I hope that you know a solution for my problem.
i keep getting this fatal error

-Unable to Start-
Hardware instancing required
Please ensure system has current video drivers
PD:sry for my bad english
Reply plsss
I’m getting the error message below, after about 100 lines of debug. Seeing as it’s not installed on the C: drive, I’m confused as to why it might be looking there??
warning: Granny: Win32Subsystem (c:\Work\forge\main\code\src\libs\granny\win32_granny_windows.cpp(64): CreateFile failed with error “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
” at c:\Work\forge\main\code\src\libs\granny\win32_granny_file_writer.cpp(195))
FIX FOR CAN’T CREATE DIRECT3D:
If you used RefreshForce to unlock your Screen Refresh Rate, this can cause Demigod not to start, if you have applied the changes with the program, open the program back up and click, “Restore original settings”. Worked for me since I have a CRT and use RefreshForce.
Hi i just install demigod and im having this problem kindly help me
hardware based instancing required please ensure system has current video driver
any can help me?
my pc:

and CONFIRMED by myself
“April 14, 2009 22:19:48
Got home today and saw an update was available. Double clicked it to install and it launched the intro movie. After installing the update when prompted it is back to being non responsive. False hope is the worst kind
Edit1: So, apparently clicking really fast on the game will sometimes cause it to launch properly. Somtimes it gives a thread error, other times it will succesfully launch. Try closing and opening impulse a few times and frantically clicking and see if you get anywhere.”
i went to the bin folder and select the demigod.exe and HELD DOWN ENTER then after a few beeps
it opened!! 
Running XP sp3
how this helps someone
i feel like a fat kid knocking on a cake store window when im opening demigod
Hi,
I’m having a problem with Demigod’s in-game menus, after i’ve loaded the game whereby the menu options are all squashed. Does anybody know what the problem could be and how i’m to go about rectifying this issue?
Whenever I play my game it loads and starts fine. However 1-5 minutes into game play my comp goes black screen. My video card is 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS, for XPS M1330 but I don’t think thats the problem. I am updated and everything. Anyone know a patch or something?
For they guys getting the : “EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)” error try turning off DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and make sure your GFX drivers are up to date. Hope this helps.
Just installed and all I keep getting is an error saying
“hardware based instancing required please ensure system has current video driver”
I’m running on a radeon 9250 and driver’s updated as well as directx
any help would be greatly appreciated
I had the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) error/crash for a long time and I tried everyhing and nothing worked. The solution is: create a new user account for your XP/Vista and the game just works. I created a new administrator user from “user accounts” -> “new user account” in XP and the game just started to work without a hitch. I had played the game as a copy from a friend before I bought it so that was “probably” the source of the problem but please try this anyways. we banged our collective heads for 30h before we figured this one out.
