Save Crystal Glitches
« on: October 25, 2008, 03:36:01 pm »
I was playing through Aquaria for the second time, and noticed a serious glitch in the Energy Temple. On the second save point you reach (with only energy and normal form) if you right-click when the node appears, a strange rock with shards of red crystal on it appear (I've never seen it anywhere else) and you are transported to the crystal as normal. What's not normal is that you get stuck in the middle of a dark region. Fortunately, I had saved before, but view this as a warning to other people.

BTW, I was trying to get the screenshot of the weird save crystal in Vista, but ctrl + alt + P did not save the shot to the correct folder. Any ideas? I'll post the screenshot when I can get it to work.


Good luck fixing!  :)
Hope Alec can catch it in v. 1.1.0

EDIT: used FRAPS, the tunnel to the right is the entrance to another section of the map, I bypassed it by clicking on the node and being teleported into a solid wall  :)



Here's a link showing the node to the invisible crystal (when you click, the "ghost crystal" above appears)

here's one showing my pointless efforts to free myself (as well as my entire photo album)  ;)

Don't be so sensitive chibi, if you can't find this problem posted any where else, or it's so old that it's got whiskers like Noah's then start a thread lol
By the way this is not an Easter egg it looks more like glitch or bug to me, Easter eggs are usually pleasant surprises and often don't have a lot to do with game play. :D

something like these perhaps :)

Thanks  :)

BTW, it's strange; going back through the first part of the game, I notice details I've never seen before. The energy temple seems more beautiful; I find myself stopping for a moment to look at the background (Part of this is because I'm playing it in a higher res)

again, P.L.A.M. 'd by Silverflagon  ;)

Definitely Chibi and that sentence is worth big letters not small :D

Vista Save Glitch
« Reply #7 on: October 31, 2008, 04:08:59 am »
Guess what? Found another Vista glitch. It's very minor, but funny as well. Strangely, the glitch was sporadic, only happening once every few saves. As you can see in the picture, Naija's feet aren't attached to the legs. [EDIT] (or rather, are gruesomely cut off and glued to the ankles)  :o  ;) There also appears to be something strange with her head, although I can't put my thumb on it.

That definitely looks a bit disturbing. Another POOR NAIJA experience. Once again, I'm glad I never made the move to windows vista. I'm content with 32 bit XP pro. I do hope there are strides made with Windows 7 though.
