Vertical lines
« on: December 22, 2007, 11:30:29 am »
I was not sure where to post this as this is my first time on the forum.

Oh well, more frustration 
I decided to download Aquaria for my daughters. My daughters are only 6 and 8. As a result of this, I have not installed a graphics card in their computer. I just resorted to the onboard graphics chip ( In this case, S3 UniChrome Pro IGP )
This works well with ALL the games that they play at the moment.

Unfortunately, Aquaria does not like this chipset. I have tried all configurations and settings ingame without any luck.
Thoughout the game we just get these vertical lines.  I KNOW it is because of the inbuilt graphics chip.

Is there anything else I can try BEFORE resorting to buying a graphics card ??

Hmm, well my graphics card is nothing special, but I don't get anything that looks like that. Maybe getting a cheap(ish) card could be the answer?

It would be a real shame to miss out on this game because of something technical like that. Any info from the dev.s?

Nope, no info as of yet.

I just noticed that there is a support forum here.
I will post this in there as well.

I FIXED IT !!!!!

How many times do we tell people to update their drivers, and then forget to do it ourselves 




Maybe the mods can remove or lock this post now as I have a duplicate post in the support thread.
