Aquaria crashes on load

[Alec]

Still waiting to hear back from somebody on the video card matter, but something just happened that I think is worth mentioning.

I downloaded Gish (also from the Bundle) and it won't run either. It fails in the same way as Aquaria; the window appears and immediately locks up.

Both games use OpenGL for graphics, so it may be a hardware/driver versus OpenGL issue.

An update: I reinstalled my drivers, and I get the same problem with both Aquaria and Gish; the window opens and immediately the program stops responding.

I really have no idea what else the problem might be. Sorry.

I have the same problem, with both Catalyst 9.3 and 10.2 (the most recent for my card)

Specs:
AMD X2 4400+
Ati X1950 GT
2GB ram
Windows XP

last lines of debug log with default settings:

interestingly, with framebuffer-effects disabled it crashes here:

now why does it say "using framebuffer" if I explicitely disabled it? And why does it NOT happen this way if I disable fullscreen and V-sync too? weird.

After reading the thread " How to Download the Latest Version: 1.1.1 " which mentions a Version 1.1.2 (which is supposed to fix ATI-Problems!)  I checked my Version. It is 1.1.1 (downloaded from the humble bundle).

Does this mystical 1.1.2 version exist outside of steam? If so, why give a version that causes ATI-trouble with the humble bundle?

Sorry for the late answer, but I guess this could be helpful:


After the guys at the indie bundle allowed the customers to link their games to their Steam accounts, I linked my bundle, downloaded the steam version, tried the game and it ran like a charm. Maybe the humble bundle version and the steam version are different, maybe steam thrown a magic spell over the game so it could run in my computer, but no driver problems, no crashes, just a charming gaming experiencie.

And again, sorry for answering my old thread, but given I found "a solution" one year before... ^^u
