What works
Install, Singleplayer, Multiplayer (LAN)


What does not
Sometimes changing settings in the game, makes the game crash.


What was not tested
Multiplayer (Online)


Additional Comments

Followed the how-to to get a better performance.

To get LAN game working, you have to apply the current patch (or overwrite the game, from a computer with installed patch.

- Works great at AMD X3-710 with Geforce 9600gt on every tested resolution.
- Works not really good at my Laptop with ATI HD-3400 Mobility at low settings.

In multiplayer (LAN): when one computer has a lag (because of a sound like "Firstblood" or when it runs to slow), every computer will wait for the lagging computer (and will have a lag therefore, too).

WARNING

Using FBO as the ORM crashes with fglrx drivers

This is not a Wine bug, it is a fglrx bug.  Please do not open a bug for this, it will just be closed.

See the fglrx bug for more details, or check the HOWTO for this app for a workaround.


 
HOWTO

To get the game working, all you need to do is open up regedit and change a few keys, else you might get "\DeviceD3D9.cpp(1032) Invalid call" when trying to launch it.

1) Type in 'wine regedit' in a graphical terminal

2) In the newly opened regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine -> Direct3D. If any of those mentioned do not exist yet, just create all missing keys.

3) In Direct3D, create these String Values: "OffscreenRenderingMode" with value "fbo", "UseGLSL" with value "enabled" and finally "VideoMemorySize" with value "128" depending on your graphic's card memory. If your graphics card has 256 MB memory or more, enter the appropriate value.

4) That's it, Demigod should now run beatifully :)


 
Hang-ups when sound events occur

Sometimes when a new sound event occurs, the game might pause for a few seconds but it will continue normally afterwards. This only happens once per round and has not crashed the game for me so far, even though it does seem like the process has crashed, it has not.

You can try working around it by launching Demigod with: wine demigod.exe /nosound

Demigod crashes after every round!
by Ice on Tuesday July 6th 2010, 18:25
Here's the issue,

The game runs beautifully, the only thing is that every time a Demigod is killed, the game freezes for a few seconds. That is very bearable. But the main issue is that every time I finish a round, wether skirmish or tournament or whatever, the next time I try to start a game, it crashes. It says something about a file named Granny, or something like that. If you need anymore details, I will gladly present them. So, do you think you can fix this issue?

Thanks,

Ice

by Zac Laughlin on Saturday October 3rd 2009, 0:58
I get this error when I try to start the application. I have tried the registry hack, but it doesn't work either.

This is what I get when I try to start it.

Window name: Unable to start
Hardware based instancing required.
Please ensure system has current video drivers.

Does Win98 mode work?
by Sven-Hendrik Haase on Friday May 15th 2009, 20:05
Hey, I just had an idea and need some of you to test this out for me: Please change the Windows emulation mode to Win98/WinVista/WinXP and see what results you get and post them here.

Multiplayer LAN Hamachi
by CustomER on Tuesday May 5th 2009, 2:31
I tried to play demigod with my friend trough hamachi, but It is not possible.

We connected to each other, started game and when first blood came, it lagged for about 4-6 seconds and than we separated, but still played, but in my game, my friend was replaced by AI and in his game I was replaced by AI.

So until somebody fix that lag, I think multiplayer is not possible. I tried to play singleplayer game to load the sound and than with my friend, but when I want to start second game, it crashes. Any idea?

Online (Internet) Multiplayer
by Benjamin Horstman on Monday May 4th 2009, 17:15
Since none of the reviews have tested this, I thought I should try it. I'm not sure if it's possible to play online without impulse working. There is supposed to be steam-style in-game impulse via shift+tab, but I can't get that to come up in wine (perhaps because I can't run/register impulse in wine?).

At any rate, Internet play seems to be broke, causing a abort window with the following:

pastebin.com/f1e6ffd97

Here is the end of the output of the shell (It's not very useful because the d3d stuff was spamming the same thing repeatedly):

pastebin.com/f342a3e3e

All in all, it looks like the WinHttpCrackUrl function isn't implemented.

WINED3DFORMAT!
by atuba on Saturday May 2nd 2009, 16:36
Every time when I am trying to start the game I get a DebugWindow and a error in console like this:

fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 909201952 (as fourcc: R16) WINED3DFORMAT

I tried to create string in regedit, but it was useless. Any idea how to fix the problem?

Install/Run fails
by Benjamin Horstman on Saturday May 2nd 2009, 9:57
I tried to install from the CD as suggested above; this appeared to complete successfully but left my Demigod/bin directory empty; not sure what happened.

So, I installed and registered the game in windows. Now, I have the correct Demigod.exe, but the registration is busted. It wants me to re-register my key with Stardock, which obviously won't work.

Finally, I don't think anyone has been successful in getting impulse to run, which I think is ultimately what I need to do. Unfortunately, it exits without a word after installing the windows mono...

Anyone else having similar issues?

First Blood Lag
by John on Friday May 1st 2009, 10:16
I wanted to make a post about the first blood (and other moments of player kills) lag everyone is having. Its so bad that for me, I'm actually getting dropped from LAN game when it happens.

I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. The obvious choice is sound, but I'm not so sure. Under Demigod/sounds there is a file called VOICE.fsb; this file is a compilation of all the voices in the game such as when demigods talk and when the "announcer' makes a comment ("Your War Effort has increased!") -- this is also where the "First Blood" "Smiter" and other on-death sounds are located. If loading sound was the problem, you would think that any one of these things or all of them would cause lag spikes the first time they are loaded, but it doesn't appear that any of them do -- only when I player dies does it happen.

Also, I actually went a head and removed the VOICES.fsb file completely to see if that helped any. Unfortunately, it didn't :\ On first blood I still got a huge lag spike. I'm not saying that it isn't the sound, it vary may well be, so its not looking like a good candidate.

Its apparent that it tends to happen anytime someone dies, but for me its never as bad as First Blood, and on some occasions it does lag at all. Does anyone else have ideas or thoughts?

by Hety on Thursday April 23rd 2009, 17:30
Can you please share your game.prefs (delete password for online account if you saved it from withing game)? I'm trying to start Demigod installed from under windows and it seems i'm doing something wrong... Even with /windowed 1280 1024 i get right sized window, but same debug log as with fullscreen.
