Evil dog.

Dash - I think this worked for me... eventually.  Here's what I did.  I couldn't get anything to unlock DA in single player yesterday.  So, I uninstalled and redownloaded the game.  This didn't fix it for me.  Then I tried to run the game as admin, as you suggested.  That DID NOT fix it for me either.  Then, as a final step, I hosted a MP game, selected DA, then just quit the lobby (without every launching the game).  Then, I went back to SP and I was able to select DA in skirmish and tournament.  So, I think its a combination of things. 

So, my advice to anyone still having issues unlocking the demon assassin in SP would be to.

1. Run the game as an administrator
2. Log in to multiplayer and host a game. Select the Demon Assassin as your playable character.  Then exit out of multiplayer
3. Go back to single player mode and check.  DA should be unlocked

Thanks, Dash!

same here... i had to log into mutiplayer before it worked.

Okay I have run as admin and went into mp to host a game and then I could pick up the DA. However the Oculus fella is only pickable for the AI not for the player, and the above procedure dont work to unlock. Guess I will wait testing the game until this is sorted out.

Right - like syDaemon said, Aiyen, Oculus hasn't been unlocked by SD yet.  If he's officially "complete" I think SD will unlock him before too long. 

I've tried every trick mentioned in this thread. Still can't select him in singleplayer. Work around is to play my singleplayer games through the multiplayer interface.

These two steps worked for me!  Eventually. 

The key step for me was logging into my online Demigod account and setting up a multiplayer internet game as the host.  The Demon Assassin was selectable (and I selected him, of course!).  After cancelling out of the lobby and returning to the main menu, the Demon Assassin remained available for other game modes (single-player, LAN multiplayer).

Just setting up a multiplayer game wasn't enough - I had to host an Internet game.

Can't wait to surprise my friends at our annual Thanksgiving LAN party - they don't know about the new character yet, and probably won't have him unlocked after patching.  Heh-heh-heh...

[edit] Forgot to specify I am using Windows XP [/edit]

Make sure after you log into multiplayer that you stay logged in when you go back to the main menu. dont log out

Yes

i ran it as admin, but it didnt work unitl i went to MP lobby and selected DA, then went back to SP

next day it was still there, so no need to repeat.

and hes really really fun 

That has got to be the ugliest dog on the planet

That picture was just from his bad side... 

Have you tried running the game once as admin? 

Try closing Impulse and running the following file:

http://sd.stardock.com/curthendzell/fix_registrations.reg

Make sure to follow the link in Internet Explorer, as other web browsers will not handle the file type correctly.  Once you follow the link, save the file and double click it to apply it.  Then relaunch Impulse.  You will need to re-login with your username/e-mail (either will work) and password.

If it still isn't accesible after that, drop an email to [email protected] to help get it sorted out.

Dash - perhaps there is an issue with the script that adds DA to players that have recently bought the game?  I was in IRC when Nakor or one of you fellows was rolling out access for everyone that had already purchased the game, but he indicated that a script needed to run for new players as I don't think anyone automatically gets access when they buy the game.  That might have changed, but I don't know. 

Santa... what is the username you use when you play online?  I see no online game history for your forum name.
