Title: Vertical lines
Post by: quarrystile on December 22, 2007, 11:30:29 am
I was not sure where to post this as this is my first time on the forum.

Oh well, more frustration  (http://www.trle-community.net/images/smiles/sad.gif) (http://www.trle-community.net/images/smiles/cry.gif)
I decided to download Aquaria for my daughters. My daughters are only 6 and 8. As a result of this, I have not installed a graphics card in their computer. I just resorted to the onboard graphics chip ( In this case, S3 UniChrome Pro IGP )
This works well with ALL the games that they play at the moment.

Unfortunately, Aquaria does not like this chipset. I have tried all configurations and settings ingame without any luck.
Thoughout the game we just get these vertical lines.  I KNOW it is because of the inbuilt graphics chip. (http://www.trle-community.net/images/smiles/annoyed.gif)

Is there anything else I can try BEFORE resorting to buying a graphics card ??

Hmm, well my graphics card is nothing special, but I don't get anything that looks like that. Maybe getting a cheap(ish) card could be the answer?

It would be a real shame to miss out on this game because of something technical like that. Any info from the dev.s?

Nope, no info as of yet.

I just noticed that there is a support forum here.
I will post this in there as well.

I FIXED IT !!!!!

How many times do we tell people to update their drivers, and then forget to do it ourselves  (http://www.trle-community.net/images/smiles/blush.gif) (http://www.trle-community.net/images/smiles/annoyed.gif)

Maybe the mods can remove or lock this post now as I have a duplicate post in the support thread.
