Support / Re: Can see intro and cursor, but rest of game is black screen
« on: January 30, 2008, 11:04:18 am »
Hello,
I've got a similar - if not the same - problem.
A few days ago I downloaded the demo and it worked perfectly. Yesterday I installed the most recent drivers (Ati Catalyst 8.1) for my graphics chip/mainboard/etc. (Asus M2A-VM mainboard with an integrated Ati X1250 graphics chip). After installing the latest drivers, I wanted to check Aquaria again before deciding to buy it, but it did not work anymore.
The intro with the landscape, windmill, etc. sometimes plays and sometimes it does not. Sometimes the background shows and sometimes it is just black. However once the menu loads, things get worse. I get literally 1 frame per second and the background does not always show. The cursor, menu items and the crystal are usually there. However the 1 fps makes it unusable. I tried to start a game once and got decent performance and it seemed like everthing got displayed. After deinstalling the drivers and reinstalling them I tried again but nothing changed except that I got 1 fps in-game too. Symptoms change a bit from start to start. It is somewhat weird that older driver worked perfectly and the new ones cause problems.
I changed back to the old driver (7.11) and Aquaria works normally. However I want to update my graphics drivers eventually
