is it the same problem with a standard mouse?

Does the symbol appear where u click to show the move command has been made? The demigods do have a slight delay from command to move, especially if needing to turn around. If the delay is from when you click til when you see the marker where you click acknowledging the command then I'd say perhaps its the mouse? 

Gaming mouse and keyboards are not all they're cracked up to be. I've thrown away both Razor and Logitech gaming keyboards and a razor gaming mouse only days after purchase because they are shit. Now I use a $25 wireless mouse and keyboard.

And uninstall Vista! OMG does anyone actually still use that? Use XP or win7. Make the investment and never use vista it's the worst...microsoft actually made an apology for how broken vista is.

I am not completely befuzzled! I have tried 2 cheap mice to no prevail. I have now tried every other thing I can think of.

Here's a list of everything I've tried.

- I uninstalled the game, cleared all of the game files and reinstalled the game

- I reinstalled the latest version of directx

- I have installed the all in one MOD package with bug fixes etc (http://pacov.impulsedriven.net/article/399399/Demigod_Mods_-_Here_are_the_mods_that_YOU_should_use)

- I have run the game without steam entirely

- I have run it in windows xp sp2 compatibility mode

- I have tried different demigods, fewer number of AI opponents, different arenas, changing all graphic and audio settings to low and off.

- I have tried removing all non used peripherals from my computer

I literally have no idea what else to do...

One other thing I have noticed about the problem is that during the delay - between the animation on the ground from when you right click to when the demigod starts to move - the green circle that highlights the ground at your demigod flashes exactly three times. This is 100% consistant every time I right click. This almost makes it look like a very stable glitch...?

I would very happily welcome some sort of a solution to this issue!...

Thanks again,

Donny

donny - yeah, this seems to be a fairly unique issue (I've never heard about before anyway - do a quick forum search if you have not for "demigod mouse" - I figure you have, but just a thought).  I'm really thinking the problem is specifically related to your pc (eg hardware/drivers).  Sadly, based on the info you provided, it certainly seems like you have more than enough power to run the game.  This makes me think you have a hardware issue.  I'm also guessing that other games run fine, etc - and you just happen to have a problem with Demigod.  That said, I still think its a hardware problem.  Of course, I could be wrong, but there's nothing that I'm aware of that would cause latency in a local game of Demigod on the lowest settings (and note - I said local (no internet) game - assuming that's what you are doing). 

I'm sure that is less than exciting news, but I'm not sure what else to tell you.  You sure as shite shouldn't have to consider installing another OS to get Demigod to work.  I really just think you have a unique (lousy) situation.  heck - see if you can run the game in safe mode if you haven't tried that rot yet. 

I've built more than 80 pcs and have seen some crazy nonsense in the past.  That's what's leading me to think there is a hardware issue (that might just start with Demigod now - and that you'll notice somewhere else down the road).  From that experience, I'd suggest a new motherboard.  Again, not all that useful advice, but I think that would sort you out (+ a fresh install). 

Anyway, if you want to go the path of least resistance, you should shoot an email to [email protected] and indicate that you bought the game on impulse/steam and that is doesn't run on your system and you want a refund.  Personally, I'd suggest going that way - even though Demigod is a great game. 

Hope your problem is solved one way or another and I'm really sorry to hear that its been such a pain in the butt for you.
