Aquaria 1.0.3 Cumulative Patch 2007.12.17

[Alec]

thanks...glad to hear that...i had problem with the patch, crash my game! so i will need to play the original v1.0.0 version only...

Did you install the patch correctly?

I believe there are full instructions in the original post. but you have to actually copy the EXE and the .001 file to the directory where Aquaria is installed. Some people forget to do this.

I'm running XP and was looking for any recient patches.  I saw that you mentioned  1.0.3.  When I run the game that's what it says I am running.  Do I need this update or is there a newer one available?

Also....I downloaded the 1.0.3 patch to see what was in it and found that the patch conainted a data.001.  Your instructions say to replace the existing data.001 file with this one.......the problem is the only data.001 file on my entire computer is the one in the patch.  The Aquaria folder has a data.000.  Is this why it seems that I can't access some areas of the game (Sun Temple and some areas of the Veil) or that I missed another patch somewere???

Thx.

P.S.       

Love the game......purchased the game about an hour after playing the demo.

If it says 1.0.3, you have 1.0.3.

You might want to reinstall the game if you have troubles with content, although it sounds like you may just be stuck in the game and not actually missing data files.

[darrmik]

So, even though the patch has a data.001 that is supposed to be copied into the directory over the existing file and my version only has a data.000, there's nothing wrong with my install??  or would it be better to reinstall???

I only ask because I was wondering if there was something that I was missing, not that I am having any problems with the game.

Only patches have .001, the full versions don't. (because everything is just in .000)

If the full version that you bought was 1.0.3, you don't need a patch.

I read about the patch on another forum and was dismayed to find that the infinite food glitch (where you hit esc just before the food appears) is removed in the patch. Please tell me it isn't true!  I couldn't have completed half the bosses without it

Well, then you have to improve your playing style!

That must be why it doesn't work for me then lol
Chibi if a 59 year old can hack it then so can you don't be a wimp :p

[Chibi]

Yeah, the most hacking I've done was through Task Manager (to give me the WIndows XP desktop instead of the windows 2000 filter)

BTW:  Whoa wait a second ... the patch was sent in 2007. Does that mean that my version (bought in august/september of 2008) has the patch? If so, it doesn't kill the glitch! Yipee! 

EDIT: Whoa. Slow down a bit.  (look down for a better explanation)

I don't know how you worked that one out Chibi?

[Chibi]

Sorry for being obscure: I don't know if this is right, but I'll clarify it in bullets

      1. Last patch sent out in 2007 (One which supposedly negates the glitch)

     2. My version bought in 2008 (and should have the patch inside)

      3.  I can still use the glitch in my version

      4. Therefore, the patch must not kill the glitch, and the rumour is a lie! 

EDIT: notice something strange about the subject heading on this post? "Grins in anticipation" 

[silverflagon]

Ooo who's being clever now Sorry the original start of the thread is what counts Chibi lol

Unfortunately Chibi the world is a hell of a lot older than us so that leaves very little that is really original, even for us babyboomers that lived throught the 60's...
