Differences between steam and non.steam version?
« on: April 16, 2009, 11:26:08 pm »
Long story short; I decided after looking around the internet for a bit that I wanted to buy Aquaria, but there is one piece of information that I couldn't seem to find:

Is there any difference between the steam version and the version available on this site? I'm asking because I know that steam usually uses a strange unique way to store it's games, which can, in some cases, make modding and such difficult.

I know about the difference with achievements on steam, what I'm wondering has more to do with file structure and such.

I hope my question is even remotely understandable (and in the right forum!)  :-\

Support's always the right place for such question.
I personally don't have Aquaria on steam, but I suppose that besides the achievements that there are barely any big differences.
I further have no clue what the game structure is, but I assume that it's the same as the original game, but then deeper in a steam folder.
Or maybe it's been installed in another folder, I don't know. xD

Someone with a steam version should obviously answer this, but I hoped I at least helped a bit. ^^:
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

Well, it's good to know I'm in the right forum, at least     :)

And I suppose you're right. Hopefully someone with the steam version will spot this topic...

Shouldn't be any difference. (other than achievements)

Wasn't it a later version? 1.2.0 instead of 1.1.2 or something?

1.1.2 instead of 1.1.1 last I checked.

In theory, the game's executable would also be modified so that it needs to be launched through Steam.
