Actually, the only country I can think of that does offer unlimited bandwidth plans is the USA. My cap (New Zealand) is 10GB per two months, then it rolls over. And Demigod seems to use up quite a bit of it in my experience.
Update: the java frame limit program is still working on all of my other games. Demigod is the only game that it's stopped working for since the switch...
[quote who="Kaerar" reply="16" id="2248569"]Sorry but I work with computers day in and day out. [/quote] I was beginning to feel it here, brah. Whatever, water under the bridge. I switched to Win7 to finally drop all my random OS partitions, hoping for an end all. I don't think it's worth it to set up another one again.

My sim speed was always a steady 7-9 when I was limiting the FPS. Also, forcing a game to 30 FPS isn't the same as forcing a refresh rate on the monitor... it's only rendering half the frames within the game, not the entire monitor (windowed mode, anyone?). And the game runs just as fast as someone going 60 FPS, it's simply *slightly* less smooth. (If it was a matter of changing the refresh rate of my monitor to 30hz (which isn't even possible, mind you) I would simply do
The FPS trick is entirely reasonable, and extremely beneficial. People seem to want MASSIVE FPS, as if it makes any sort of difference... 30 FPS is perfectly fine.

Why are people offering me advice about buying new cards, fans, etc? [e digicons]XO[/e] I don't need better performance or cooling. I have a CPU fan/heatsink, mobo heatsink, PSU fan, a large intake fan, two out fans, a GPU fan, and a PCI fan under the card. My cooling is AWESOME. My PC sounds like a helicopter taking off when I turn it on. The driver is simply faulty ATM and I have an EXCELLENT workaround in lowering FPS on games! (Well, generally) What I
[quote who="cryptogoth" reply="12" id="2247464"]As far as i know you can limit the FPS in Demigod without using any aditional programs, right click on your Demigod desktop shortcut and at the end of the Target textbox type /framerate 30.[/quote] HOLY SHIT YES Wait, it didn't do anything for me. I'm going to fiddle around with different ways of typing it there. Hope springs eternal. Man, THAT. THAT is the sort of thing I need. If there actually i
I've used this program for quite awhile now on myriad of games. It causes no problems within the game and never has. All it does is make the animations slightly less smooth. The difference is ridiculously miniscule, even when not compared to the performance increase I recieve. As far as lag goes, it's never affected sim speed or anything else in the past month I've played Demigod. For the record, the card is a Geforce 8600GTS. Manually forcing thi
I'm from New Zealand. US$150.00 is at least NZ$300.00. Actually, more, I just don't remember the exact conversion rate. Regardless, money is money, and I don't want to pay it unless I absolutely have to.
Nope. The only way the fan stays in control is to not have a driver installed at all. The fan stays at steady 70% (or around there, judging from sound. I can't really monitor it without a driver...) after a reformat. It's obviously a driver issue, but I found an awesome workaround with my little program. Why must life be so hard. [e digicons]:pout:[/e]
At 70C, my GPU's fan automatically turns itself down to 20% from 100% where I usually keep it. From there the temperature just keeps going up until... well I never wait to see very long. It does this regardless of what driver I use or program I attempt to force it with (namely Rivatuner). It's actually a huge, known issue to nVidia, but they seem unable to solve it according to the forums. Also, I enjoy knowing my GPU is always at a cool, normal temperature. It ensur

O hay I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. With it came the new improved DirectX, which is actually causing issues for me. I use a small java program to limit the FPS in all of my games, which in turn allows me to amp up the graphics and effects without my GPU exploding. This comes at the cost of FPS which are not even noticeable (to me, at least). I generally place the cap for all of my games at 30 FPS. It really does make a huge differenc
Oh sure. Somedays I'll get on and there'll be an Aus/NZ game. We rock it, and just keep playing each other until we get our fix. Actually, I can remember pretty much everyone I've ever played, because I play the same people every time. I'm patient, though. The game will spread. And if not, we must forcefully pull the US hosters heads from their asses.
I got the bully achievement on my very first online game. I had been playing versus hard AI intensely in preparation, and I got placed in the skirmish with complete newbies. I steamrolled. I was level 20 at the end when they were 8-10. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

Uh, just order it online and digital download it like the rest of Australasia, bro.
Directly editing the movie files also works. (all .bik's) Just rename them or move them to a backup folder, the game won't care. Just be sure to put them back before an update, as the game seems to redownload them all again if it doesn't find them at those times. I have to do it this way, as I use a small java program that limits FPS to 30 in all of my games (no noticeable quality drop, in return I get to run all of my games max settings without my GPU exploding).

Ah, that's a good point. I'd think it wouldn't as well, as it requires IE7. Quite the pickle, as everything else concerning Demigod appears to work fine, but you can't update it.
