[Technical support] Game wont start.

Just after the patches.

Today (or yestarday, i don't know) a new patch was released.

I have installed it hoping to play the game again becouse after the last 2 patches the game refuses to start.

Now i'm trying to reinstall it from the DVD and i hope i can go back online.

Any suggestion on what i could do to make it start ?

 

Sorry for bad english.

Bye

Hi giacdegiac,

Your English is just fine.

I'm just a player, nobody official.  I have the same problem, and I have a favorite solution.  You may have noticed some other discussion threads about this same symptom.  Some software, including Google Desktop, sometimes interferes with launching Demigod.  Somebody smarter than me suggested these steps:

1.  Click the shortcut icon on your desktop to highlight it (you already know that double-clicking does nothing).

2.  Press & hold the Enter key to quickly/repeatedly tell the PC to "launch" Demigod.  This is much faster than a person can double-click a mouse button.  With a few extra beeps and error messages, you might get Demigod to launch.  Sometimes, all I see on screen is error messeages, but then I find Demigod successfully running in the background.

None of the official patches so far have fixed this for me, but it's not worth more effort.  Currently, I usually get the game running with just 4-8 rapid taps on the enter button.

If this doesn't help or if you want professional help, go to https://esupport.stardock.com/ .  They usually reply promptly.

Good Luck!

Qicmee, thank you for the answer.

I will try your "solution", otherwise i will uninstall google desktop.

In fact, now that you tell it, i remember that this started when i installed Google Desktop and Demigod >>> Google :P
