I think this is a Vista thing. I purchased Aquaria on Steam a few days ago, and am running it on Vista. Previously, I had played Aquaria on a computer with Windows XP and it had run perfectly. Now I get constant crashes, maybe one every half hour or so. The screen will just freeze or turn white (music still plays though), I'll try to alt f4 out, and vista will tell me that there's a problem. Something about "nvlkvkdmm has crashed and has successfully recovered." (I don't remember exactly what it says, but it only says this sometimes)
This computer has a nvidia geforce 8500 GT. I am running it in widescreen resolution. I have vsync enabled to prevent tearing (this gives me random slowdown sometimes, but whatever). The computer I'm playing on is basically brand new (my mother's, I'm at her house for Christmas).
I am loving the recent updates (map, cooking etc). But I would also love to play my game without being afraid of random crashes! Has anyone else experienced problems in Vista?
BTW - I heard something about Steam's CLOUD service that would automatically transfer your saved games and such to different computers you play Steam games on. Is this out, does this apply to Aquaria, and do I have to do anything to make it work? If I can't fix the constant crash problem I'll just wait to finish the game when I get home to my computer with good old XP. Because this is seriously aggravating, I beat a boss and whoops crash before I can get to a save crystal.
