Reply to Demigod: Day 8 Status Report! in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

The status reports are good. No question on that. I don't know much about the gaming industry but I'd always believed that when a game ships, it has a relatively short window in which to "hook the market" before the next game comes along. I am a fickle game player ... I personally don't care too much about the distributors or developers. Presumably the employees are salaried and probably on a bonus plan related to the success of the game. I

Reply to So when is stardock going to switch to server based multiplayer? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Thanks for the response. I'm an old-guy .... been working client/server computing since the 80s ... I guess when I said new technology like P2P it is all relative :-) As far as P2P goes ... can we think of any other games that have utilized P2P to keep their players in synch with each other? Neil

Reply to So when is stardock going to switch to server based multiplayer? in Demigod Demigod Forums

In principle, I am all in agreement with attempting some new piece of technology such as "P2P". After all, if we didn't explore new options, nothing would ever progress. I haven't heard any compelling technical reasons why P2P was chosen ... but ... more importantly in my mind, I haven't heard why it isn't working like we would hope.

Reply to refund? in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I have bought the game and look forward to playing it. I am VERY far from wanting my monies back but Kudos to StarDock for being so open with us and their desire to build a loyal following. With a bill of rights like this ... that is a HUGE plus for them. I for one am willing to wait quite a while for the debounce and for things to calm down. That said though ... on-line is where the game's core will live or die so we should expect them to get t

Reply to Demigod Day 2 Update! in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Thank you for posting these updates. I don't mind at all hearing that there are problems ... these things happen. What I do like to hear are honest and clear reports on what the resolutions will be ... it may sound cheesy, but it makes me feel included and makes me a lot less frustrated. Neil

Reply to Cant get a MP match in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I am pretty much the same. I too have waited a LONG time for a game with few results. Note that I said "few" and not "no"... it can take an awfull long time to find a match but it can eventually happen. When I play at the Pantheon, I am not sure if the number of demigods listed are: 1. The total number of registered Demigod players 2. The number of Demigod players CURRENTLY playing at the Pantheon Instead of waiti

Keeping a tabbed Object Dock on a particular Monitor in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Folks, With Object Dock 1.9 Pro, I have a an Object Dock at the bottom and a Tabbed Dock at the right. I also have two monitors. I find that when I start Object Dock, the Tabbed Dock appears on the right of the monitor ... but WHICH monitor appears to be where my mouse cursor is shortly after starting the program. I see that Object Dock has a named monitor option but there doesn't appear to be the same for a Tabbed Dock. Neil

Reply to ObjectDock 1.9 Plus locks when showing the TaskBar in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hi ... great questions ... thanks for the response. Yes ... I did evaluate Object Dock before registering for Object Doc Plus. I can't now remember if I un-install basic first. I have a bunch of things in the tabbed dock include System Tray and Task bar. I have a few extra docklets installed including the CPU monitor. I did not install via Impulse. I finally figured out how to remove Task Bar from the tabbed

ObjectDock 1.9 Plus locks when showing the TaskBar in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Folks, Am running ObjectDock 1.9 Plus on a Vista x32 system. I have an ObjectDock dock on the bottom and an ObjectDock tabbed dock on the right. In my tabbed dock, I have a "TaskBar" entry for showing icons of my launched applications. When I select that tab, ObjectDock locks solidly and consumes a CPU's worth of processing time. No other diagnostics that I can find. I can't even delete that tab as I have to select it first in order to delete

Thanks ... but not sure what you mean when you say "try one of firefox's own themes". Sorry ... Neil

Menus in fire fox become "white on pale blue" when launched from ObjectDock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I am running the latest version of OD Plus. I find that when I launch the latest version of FireFox from the dock, the menus in the browser show a "white on pale blue". This sounds confusing ... let me start again. I am running Vista and my desktop theme is Aero. When I start FireFox from a desktop shortcut and then right click in the middle of a page, the context menu shows black text on a pale background. When I mouse over a menu entry, a

Change the colors of text labels beneath icons in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Folks, Newbie to ObjectDock ... wonderful ... immediately purchased a license. I find that with tabbed docks, if I set the background color of a tab to a "light" color like yello or white, it is difficult to read the labels beneath the icons. I see that these labels appear to be "white" font with what looks like a "black" shadow. I am wondering if there is a way to customize the settings of the font and color for the labels. Simple black on light
