Support / Re: Slowdown problem.

I finally found a solution. I found it while searching for a fix to a similar problem with another game, Eternity's Child. The game had great debug logs and clear warnings which lead me to the problem: wrong OpenGL version (Windows default dll) was detected and used. I've attached the registry patch I used to fix this problem.  For reference, my card is ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 and I'm running Windows XP SP3 with Omega Drivers.

EDIT:
Or would have attached if the attach functionality had been enabled. Great... Here is the code, just copy&paste this into (e.g.) openglfix.reg and double click to execute.

Code: [Select]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Dll"="atioglxx.dll"
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Version"=dword:00000002

I've already been running in 16-bit mode. The settings in the game options have little effect, approx. +/- 1-3 fps. When toying with the texture options in ati tray tools something changed, but I'm not sure it was better after the tweaks. Disabling logging did nothing. Sorry for being such a pain. =) Any additional debugging options I could enable to get some more info?

They are less frequent. In my recent test, they only appeared in the intro section (before the main screen). I'm not sure whether they were caused by my alt-tabbing or the stuttering intro. To my amazement the music and speech in the game ran fluently although the fps was still ~5. There were also only a few errors in the section after pressing the start game button.

Yea, and there were some audio errors. I updated / reinstalled my video / audio drivers, but to no avail. Haven't got a response from Alec since.

Haven't been able to solve the problem as of yet, any ideas?

The game seems to be good stuff, but I'm having trouble with the demo. I'm running it on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 1630 laptop, meaning amd64 +3700 with 1gt of ram, ATI mobility Radeon 9700 and windows XP sp2. My computer runs many modern games like HL2 or Team Fortress 2 great, but for some reason Aquaria runs 1-5fps all the time. I've tried all options but nothing changes, it just hogs 100% CPU and runs extremely slowly, right from the start. Never had the patience to wait for the game itself to load. Since the demo seems to be version 1.0, is there a chance that some patch I saw for the full version might fix this? I'm using the latest omega drivers for my graphics card.
