Months after Demigod’s release,  2 new demigod heroes will finally be introduced in the game (Initially released with 8 demigods). The Demigod 1.2 patch will be the first patch to introduce new demigods in the game. Each factions will get a new hero each; with one of them being melee hero and the other a projectile user. On top of that, a “Demigod Quickie SDK” (not sure if that’s the final name for the SDK) will also be provided which will equip the community with basic tools and scripts that they will need to make new maps, items and demigods. With what the patch 1.2 milestone can provide,  one can argue if the game was released incomplete – But hey, better late than never right? The Demigod 1.2 patch will be released on August 2009.


Demigod version 1.2 tentative changes : (as posted by frogboy)

• Replays (managed)
• Rematches
• Additional items & balancing
• New Demigod #1 (may be released separately)
• New Demigod #2 (may be released separately)
• Squelch (silence users in game) /squelch frogboy (right from SupCom)
• Option to turn off Arena background
• Various Bug fixes
• More AI improvements (if anyone in the community wants to make LUA suggestions I’ll forward them on)
• New AI options  (on death)
  • 1. Gold/ XP: High (= to what it is today)
  • 2. Gold/ XP: Normal (= 50% what killing a human player would be worth) [default]
  • 3. Gold/ XP: Low (=25% of what killing a human player would be worth)
• New AI option:
  • 1. Hitpoints: Very High (2X what they are today)
  • 2. Hitpoints: High (1.5 what they are today) [Default]
  • 3. Hitpoints: Normal (1.0 what they are today)
  • 4. Hitpoints: Low (0.75 what they are today)
• Modding Support:
  • 1. Quickie SDK that explains how to make maps
  • 2. Quickie SDK that explains how to make demigods
  • 3. Quickie SDK that explains how to make items
• New Option: Use Mods (allows mods to be used in single player)
• Hosts would select which mods to use.
• We would begin including mods submitted in updated builds.
• If a player does not have a mod, then it’s not used.
• More robust Pantheon and Skirmish handling (slot time to work with us to make this system work better).
• Connection Info would display a player’s rank/experience to better balance custom games

Other things that are being discussed without a consensus yet:

• Should custom games be ranked?
• How do we make it easy for people to create team games (that doesn’t involve a lot of UI work)
• How do we make pantheon/skirmish games more flexible (1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc.)
• Ways of handling pre-made teams
• Ways for hosts to ban people from joining their games. (personal ban lists)

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
