that list? Use the key "e" to rotate the camera.
Interesting to know but I'm not sure that much of an imrpovement over the space bar and it certainly doesn't let me bind rotation control to the middle mouse button like I'm used to from Every... Other... Game.

Yea well some of use are use to using the Q and E key; so we are leaving it that way.

Actually being a game design student you would be surprised how many other students not only torrent games but know how to crack them and will emit it. Many games they torrent are old games like FF1- 8, or the oreiginal dragon quet; while they still buy new games that come out or search online for newer games.

What does that have to do with anything I said?

I have only noticed the Invalid game state when playing in games where the host is from somewhere other than the US.

I'd like to see a handicap game option. Where if the option is choosen then a new player or one with low stats would not be penalised as much for dying (in gold and time recuperating) as someone with high stats and high win percentage. It might make finding a balenced game easier. I know this would be open for exploitaiton, but having it as an option would be nice. Also, it would make it easier for new players to get a game.

Oh Frogboy, you kidder you. We all know that Demigod is dead and that you're not actually working on anything, just read the forums! [/sarcasm]

Thanks for putting this together, it's greatly appreciated.

Frogboy still cares about fixing Demigod! Yay! Can't wait for these fixes!

On a totally unrelated issue, have you guys ever heard about "players" mass texting the chicks they slept with so there are no hard feelings... or rape charges?

"Hey baby (or sweetie, or any other generic term of endearment), I been thinking about you. Sorry I didn't get back to you... been really busy! We should get together real soon though."

LMAO I really hope you're not right though.

Yeah, that moonwalk DA does is pretty annoying but has anyone noticed a bug where you stop autoattacking/damaging Oculus or is it only because shield doesn't appear on him?

You mean the option to configure the controls? You can change the Q and E keys to whatever you want.

You are mistaken sir. Go ahead and try it. All of the camera control keys are fixed and cannot be rebound. Which is hugely anoying. Combined with the camera death spin it's a total immersion braker as I have to stop look down at the keyboard (which I otherwise don't bother using very much) and find the camera controls on it.

Not an ideal design decision.

Nice to see a new update in the works. I'll have to get back to playing. It would be really nice if GPG/Stardock could spin off a couple of 6-player, Cataract-size maps from a couple of the existing, less popular large maps (say, Brothers or Mandala).

For me, the Q and E keys were extremely helpful for rotating the camera. However, if you dont like this setting, you can change them from the Game.prefs file, located in: My Documents\My Games\Demigod\"your username"\Game.prefs

You can open this file with notepad, or any other text viewing program. Search carefully, and you will find all the keys there, I never changed the Q and E, but you should be able to do it.

Terrific and subtle irony, gotta love it, you rock Thunder . In my case, the "chick" in me tells me we aren't actually "getting together" with SD/GPG in a loooooooooong time, no matter how hard they promise to ...

On the bug list, there's a glaring omission: enemy creeps getting killed or damaged by Unclean Beast Post Mortem skill don't give proper XP/Gold, the main reason why good players dont skill Post-Mortem ever or only at very late game stage.

I never liked the space bar, cause it spans the camera up and down, and it was messing with my perfect view

All I wanted was adjustment left and right, and thats what these 2 buttons are for.

But, you're right, the spacebar allows for a more customized and more "free" camera.

Demigod has THE BEST camera controls of any game I have ever played. If you want to zoom in and inspect the constellations in the sky, you can do so. If you want a close up of rook's left foot, you can just knock yourself out

Yes I examined that possibily once before. But still couldn't figure what the correct input for free camera bound to mouse button 3 was. But it's beside the point. There no reason for those key binding to be locked in the in game options menu.

Also stardock, are you aware of the bug that the narrator only makes the announcement "The forces of light/darkness control the map" When the team mention loses a flag (As opposed to when the capture one which would make more sense)?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Nice try, but not a bug. Demigod defines map control at 80% of the flags. When you have map control, you gain warscore at twice the normal rate.

Successfully updated karma reason!

hey eeeh did anyone mention that little lobby bug yet that crashes demigod every second or third time it takes too long to get the match started? you know... the one where after someone joins or leaves or... just without a reason the lobby suddenly hangs and you can only kill the demigod process?

I hear if you change the map every once in while during the wait for the spots fill up, will lower the chance of lobby crash
