I'm guessing it's just the fbuffer settings that really matter there..?

i was feeling way too lazy (and eager to give this great adventure a try) to test the settings one by one. but probably you are right. want me to check?

I'm also on an aspire one, on lucid (ubuntu 10.04). It's the only game from the HIB that lags for me; it definitely feels like it's using software rendering on linux as well. Aquaria is 1 fps before it even gets to the main menu. The problem may be different, but the symptoms are exactly as described for windows.

oh sorry i panicked =( got it working ok — just manually edited every relevant setting in ~/.Aquaria/preferences/usersettings.xml down to minimal value:

    Blur on="0"
    NumParticles v="128"
    ScreenMode resx="1024" resy="600" bits="24" fbuffer="0" full="1" vsync="0" darkfbuffer="0" darkbuffersize="256"

now it runs fine.

p.s. special thankx to everyone who helped bring the humble indie bundle to all the indie-loving gamers out there!

problem: aquaria runs at 0.5…1 fps fullscreen with minimum graphics setiings

setup: aspire one l110 — atom n270, ram 1.5 gb, video 8 gb + shared memory… yeah, i know it's not a gaming monster, but there're many visually similar titles running at least decently. linux mint 8 xfce (ubuntu 9.10).

has anyone managed to run aquaria on similar setups?

p.s. fixed! runs fine.
