So.

It's been a very long while since I returned the game shortly after open beta, simply because the netcode flaws made it impossible for me to connect to anyone.

Then I saw the $10 for DG dealy on Impulse, and I had to pounce on the deal, seeing that the netcode has almost certainly been fixed by now.

I installed the game from my pre-order limited edition, got patched up, and was good to go. It was late at night, so there were no games to connect to (well, I briefly connected to one game's lobby that didn't have enough players, and hurray, the connection seemed stable!).

So, I just loaded up a single player game with some AIs.

 

Wait... did the Rook just tell me, "My scepter still burns!"?

Eh, oh well... I'll try Demon Hunter!

 

So anyway, my light team captures a flag, and of course the voice-over exclaims "Dark team is dominating!"

...wha?

 

And then when order Demon Hunter to walk over to another flag, I hear poor Sedna exclaiming, "I don't have enough mana!"

And later on, I was told that, "Light needs only 2 more kills to win!" even though it was a standard game, and in the middle of the game the narrator kept exclaiming "Fight!" I'm guessing he was just so into it that he couldn't help himself :p

 

 

So the point is that my DG's voice-overs have become scrambled, and even though the results are often amusing, it would still be neat if the right voice-overs corresponded to the right situation.

The "ding," "dong" sounds in the main menu are still correct.

Any ideas?

I'm getting the same issue, voices seem to be completely random. Not sure if it's bad data, or something else.

Specs: Windows 7 64-bit, ATI HD4850, P4D E5400

 

I'm even getting sounds playing for some sort of Capture-The-Flag mode, which looks like something that was cut from the game before it was released.

Solutions that have worked:

  1. run C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Demigod\dem_loc_update.exe
    1. You may have to get permission to run the file, disable your antivirus while you run it, or track down where the file is on your system.
  2. Full reinstall
    1. Uninstall, Reboot, Reinstall. Don't skip the reboot stage.

I did do a couple forum searches. Pardon me for not knowing typing in the right search terms to find these threads.

 

I forgot to include my PC's specs:

Windows 7

ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 1 GB

Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz

4 GB RAM

So did it fix it?

Thanks for that.

dem_loc_update.exe fixed it for me. Wish I'd know about that simple fix beforehand before trying to re-install (which did nothing).

I did search, but as said, it's pretty difficult when you don't know the terms other people have used. When I tried, all I got were threads about SoaSE voice acting, an error 500, or nothing at all. It would help if there was an advanced search, or at least a way to restrict search to just the demigod forum.
