2007.12.07 Full Version Patch - Fixes Start Problem

[chaoticevl]

I just installed the game which went through just fine started the game up once and found it kinda dark so I exited and checked the config file to see if the buffer was the cause. I started up the game again and i can't get in it keeps giving me a "Error: Access Violation at 0x011bb51 (tried to write to 0x4DBAC10), program terminated" Error. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice and keep getting the same error. any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.


ALEC: "Here is the fix: http://bit-blot.com/files/aquaria_full_patch.zip Thanks guys!"

To use this patch, extract "aquaria.exe" and overwrite the old "c:\program files\aquaria\aquaria.exe". (note: if you installed the game to another directory, the path will be different)

I get the same error. Except mine's saying 0x0120BB51 and 0x4D93AC10. Or 0x4DBAC10, it changes. I haven't tried reinstalling. But I uh... restarted my laptop. I hope it's something that can be fixed with a little fiddling of the config file or something :s

Add me to this list. Any help appreciated. Same message, don't know the specifics of the numbers, but same general message.

I'm on a widescreen monitor, given it only supports 4:3, is that the issue. I'm, quite frankly, not the most PC literate person in the world, to say the least.

Same here. 16:10 Laptop screen. I don't think that's the issue though. I tried switching to 800*600 resolution, no joy.

The aqconfig works.

i've tried redownloading the installer and that didn't work either.

Same here. I was watching the intro and there was this weird bar across the bottom of the screen. So I exited to see if I could change the resolution, and when I tried to open it back up, I got that same error message.

Hrm.

Have you guys tried windowed mode?

Also what OSes are you running.

[Kegel]

Same here.  It worked once.  Second time I launched it (pot pie was done cooking in the microwave), I got the error.  

Windows XP SP2
nVidia gForce 6800 with latest drivers.
Running 1024x768

Full Version of Aquaria

If you want to email me your debug.log I can take a look... zaphire@gmail.com

I've also seemingly run into this problem.

First startup: Enter my registration key, activation is successful, game starts. I skipped the intro and quit out. I'm on a 16:10 display so I was going to change my display scaling to stop stretching beautiful, beautiful Aquaria.

Subsequent attempts to run the game result in similar exception errors.

System details:

Windows XP SP2
Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4400+
2 gigs of RAM
Geforce 8800GT (Latest Nvidia drivers - WHQL certified, released Oct 31, version 169.02)

Things I've tried:

-Setting native resolution to 800x600 and running the game.
-Uninstalling/reinstalling (manually deleting the folder after uninstall).
-Turning off all graphics options in AQConfig.

I'm poking around with other options.

Also the debug.log (which I deleted, doh) ends on the line about opening/initializing Graphics Libraries.

[Kegel]

DSQ init
Mipmaps Enabled
DeveloperKeys Disabled
VoiceOvers Enabled
Init Graphics Library...


Thats my debug log.  Windowed mode gives same error.

I deleted the original debug log along with the config file after the 1st error (i knwo...stupid).  The new debug log doesnt get any larger no matter how many times i launch.

[Kegel]

LOL.  Looks like Im not the only compulsive file deleter here.

If you CTRL+ALT+DEL is there another process of aquaria running?

What I'm thinking is when you quit the first one maybe it didn't shut down properly.

[Citrus]

My debug.log also ends with "Init Graphics Library..."

In your posts I see a glimmer of cause for of hope - if it can begin working then get broken, perhaps the reverse is possible!

I'm using Windows XP Home edition service pack 2. I've tried a few different resolutions and window combinations.
I'll see if I can get any new drivers for my rubbish built-in ATI laptop graphics cog.
