I have been looking forward to Aquaria since last spring, so when I saw at work today that it was finished, I made sure to download it when I got home, which I did. Paid for the full version straight off the bat and got myself a copy. However, I felt heartbroken when I could not get my copy of Aquaria to start up at all! I started with whatever version was current for your full downloads, and I tried patching it after my first few failed attempts to start it, but still no luck.
I am currently running Windows XP SP2, and when I start the game it gets as far as the initial loading screen then pops up a dialogue saying that Aquaria.exe has preformed an illegal opperation and needs to close. I looked through the debug log, and it looks like it cannot find some of the graphical assets. I have copied the last part of the log here:

Please help me fix this. I have wandered all over this forum and not seen anyone with the same problem.

hmm I might know of someone with this problem. i think someone contacted me via email with a similar issue.
Couple things:
1) do you have the latest patch / version? version 1.0.3 otherwise known as installer 2007.12.17 is the latest i believe
2) does the demo run for you?
-
The patch is here (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=569.0)btw.
If your installer is 2007.12.17, then you probably don't need it.
-
Well, I downloaded the installer that you had up today, and I confirm that it is indeed version 2007.12.17.
As well, I did not download the demo. You already had me sold from the moment I saw the first trailer, and the anticipation has been building ever since. :)
Maybe I should download the demo then, give it a shot, see if it makes a difference.

If you could, it would help narrow it down a bit.
Also if you have an IM (AIM/MSN) I could try to help you debug stuff in real time.

Okay, I have confirmed that the demo version DOES work, just not the full one.
Do you think that I might have a corrupt data file somewhere?
-
Yeah, maybe. I'm not sure why.
One other person has the same problem (demo works, full doesn't). I don't think that reinstalling helped him, but you could give it a shot.
Otherwise I can try tweaking some settings and sending you some test builds to see if it changes anything.
-
Okay, the demo version works up to a point. The game hangs when it tries to save at the first crystal. I have seen this mentioned by others on the forums.
Contact me in real time if you wish, I will PM you my IM info. However, it is late and I need to be in bed for work tomorrow. Plus having a cold does not help my midnight alertness much. ;)
-
Okay, the next version release-canidate seems to have fixed the problem so far. I will report any more bugs that I find. :)
