This finally worked for me, but I had to actually connect to the internet, host a game and start it as the DA before he was selectable in single-player.  Thank you very much for the tip

Dash - I think this worked for me... eventually.  Here's what I did.  I couldn't get anything to unlock DA in single player yesterday.  So, I uninstalled and redownloaded the game.  This didn't fix it for me.  Then I tried to run the game as admin, as you suggested.  That DID NOT fix it for me either.  Then, as a final step, I hosted a MP game, selected DA, then just quit the lobby (without every launching the game).  Then, I went back to SP and I was able to select DA in skirmish and tournament.  So, I think its a combination of things. 

So, my advice to anyone still having issues unlocking the demon assassin in SP would be to.

1. Run the game as an administrator
2. Log in to multiplayer and host a game. Select the Demon Assassin as your playable character.  Then exit out of multiplayer
3. Go back to single player mode and check.  DA should be unlocked

Thanks, Dash!

All I had to do was login to multiplayer, then back out and he was selectable for me.

-Rune-

same here... i had to log into mutiplayer before it worked.

This worked for me as well. On a side note, i ran "DemigodLaunch.exe" as admin.

Okay I have run as admin and went into mp to host a game and then I could pick up the DA. However the Oculus fella is only pickable for the AI not for the player, and the above procedure dont work to unlock. Guess I will wait testing the game until this is sorted out.

Occulus hasn't been officially released yet, that's why.

Right - like syDaemon said, Aiyen, Oculus hasn't been unlocked by SD yet.  If he's officially "complete" I think SD will unlock him before too long. 

Hmmm yeah I had the same issue; I couldn't select DA in single-player, and because I haven't gotten into multiplayer yet, it sort of made me *cry*. Anyways, I just created a multiplayer game and set up an AI, backed out and he was selectable in single-player tournaments. Still can't pick him in single-player skirmish though, but I can still tear people up with him.

Thanks for the tip though; I'll see if it works.

I've tried every trick mentioned in this thread. Still can't select him in singleplayer. Work around is to play my singleplayer games through the multiplayer interface.

Dare I say reinstall if you have the time... then try my method again.  I couldn't do a damn thing to get it work and might still be in the same boat w/o the uninstall, but i really don't know. 

These two steps worked for me!  Eventually. 

The key step for me was logging into my online Demigod account and setting up a multiplayer internet game as the host.  The Demon Assassin was selectable (and I selected him, of course!).  After cancelling out of the lobby and returning to the main menu, the Demon Assassin remained available for other game modes (single-player, LAN multiplayer).

Just setting up a multiplayer game wasn't enough - I had to host an Internet game.

Can't wait to surprise my friends at our annual Thanksgiving LAN party - they don't know about the new character yet, and probably won't have him unlocked after patching.  Heh-heh-heh...

[edit] Forgot to specify I am using Windows XP [/edit]

Thanks for the additional info Pacov!  So far from reports it sounds like a combination of things are working for those that didn't have immediate access to the Demon Assassin in single player.  If anyone still can't access him after trying all of this, please drop an email to support@stardock.com and we'll get you sorted out.

That's just mean.

Make sure after you log into multiplayer that you stay logged in when you go back to the main menu. dont log out
