i ended up just copying the demigod folder to the other computers
for most it worked alright
two computers (same sort of make) popped up with a debugger upon opening
one said it was missing the file d3dx9_35.dll so i searched my computer for the file and copied that to my friends comp as well, and it worked.
however, upon playing we ended up with a TON of lag. it was very unfortunate (not to mention unplayable) we ended up doing 2 1v1s instead of 2v2s (we had planned on 3v3s but the problems with the two previously mentioned computers went unresolved. I wonder if that might have created more lag.)
