GOT IT!!!
 

Well I've just downloaded, installed and looked at version 2.0!
It is a nice update, but I don’t see a lot of differences compared with the first. Sure the stingray is a nice addition and the sharks are improved, but the background is still missing out on details and is in my humble opinion quite ugly. So much so that I’ve decided to leave the background blank (as I did with version 1). A fun feature is that once in a while a shark will swim towards the screen and snaps its jaws. Unfortunately this also makes you painfully aware of the awful low detail of the texture map on that shark.

So has everybody received their keycode already? It's 10:43PM PDT where I am and no keycode yet:sad:

No mail here

The new version looks great! :cool:

Since my version 1 keycode doesn't work, I'll patiently wait for my new one. Thanks for the free upgrade!

I have not gotten mine either, but when I went to the life globe site, they don't even have my e-mail address or other info in thier data base....sooo I guess I have to rebuy it.....:(

but it will be worth it from what I can see

I don't think you'd have to rebuy it...just send them an email with your old keycode info and they'll send ya a new one for Sharks2, I'll bet...

no new keycodes yet?...bummer

Nope. No new keycode here. Still patiently waiting..........

I got a keycode this afternoon in my email.

At least one of us has one already.

I have some troubles with my computer in these days,anyway I received keycode email this morning.
I'm contemplating Sharks 2.0,they're wonderful,I like Manta Ray very much,the teacher in FINDING NEMO.There a lot of creative things in this version.

Still waiting

I finally got my new keycode by hitting the link on the Sharks2 product page, in the "Special Gift" paragraph...got it immediately..

Wow..this is like a whole new program..I really really like it..this is a fantastic upgrade....the ray tank and the migration tanks are like water ballet, esp with classical or low key electronic music playing....like I said when I saw the demo...pat yourself on the back, developers....this is way cool...

What do you mean,Clifdene ? I think 2 things :

1.Is there another one which is better than Sharks,Terrors of The Deep 2 ?

2.Does Sharks,Terrors of The Deep 2 have some bugs yet ?

Still waiting for Keycode

Wonderful !

Try 'The Blue Danube' - (As in '2001: A Space Odyssey') ....... It's great!

Bug report
 

In sharks 2.0 when I press s for the frames per second, it shows for a split second and then vanishes and no longer appears.

SHARKS 2
 

WOW ! much, much better. I played around with settings for an hour and checked out all the tanks, It was like going from 2D to 3D for me compared to version 1. I went back and looked at version 1 after playing around with this version 2 and now version 1 is allmost unwatchable now. Great Job ! I will try and give a more detailed reply later after I have checked it out some more.

OMG, Cliff...that is so perfect...thanks, mate...

There are some errors in your machine,I think that's not a bug.All thing are normal in my computer.

My spec :
+ Pentium IV 1.7 GHz
+ ATI Radeon 9000 video card
+ 512 MB of RAM
+ WinXP SP2,DX 9.0b
+ 1024 x 768 resolution
+ FPS is around 35 (unlimit frame rate is choosen)

Any ideas as what might be causing this?

Win XP SP 2
2.8 P4
769MB ram
Geforce 6800 GT Driver 7.1.8.9

Bug report
 

When I select just the "Ray o light" tank only manta ray's are the selectable species. No sharks. Is this normal?

Hmm..so only specific species are available for different tanks, right?

Bug report
 

I cant see the difference bweteween the, "Blue Lagoon" tank and the, "Reef tank." When I select each one individually and go into the preview mode they both look identical.

Bug report
 

This is my last post for bug reporting for now. I can't change the configuration of the shark species.

Yesterday I had a full selection of sharks in at least some tanks. Today all I can get are Manta Rays in every tank. Going back to default settings makes no difference.
What has happened and is there a solution?

Enigma,
Some of the tanks have specific selections (like only the Manta in RoL). The most irritating one is "Blue Lagoon" where you are forced to have blue sharks swimming around the reef although it's a pelagic species found in open waters and not in reefs...

CliffD,
Wow, that's a new one. Does a fresh install help?

Many thanks. The fresh install worked.

Thanks! Worked like a charm. :)

Do you have AA on?

I don’t know very much about computer,but please ghost your current Windows in safe place,try install a new OS,then Sharks 2.0 . If all things are good, you must spend time to install another softwares,delete the former OS,ghost a “clean” Windows in other partition.After that you can try a lot of softwares but you are not afraid any troubles because you always have a spare clean Windows.

----------------------------------------
I have a joke : One day,I’ve installed EYE OF SAURON (3DLOTREyeOfSauron.exe) with some errors and this screensaver doesn’t work although with new clean WinXP SP2.I’ve postponed it,try to setup another sofwares then that screensaver and EYE OF SAURON run well however I don’t know why

Reinstall Windows to fix a screen saver? You gotta be kidding.

Try reinstalling DirectX and try different video drivers.

That is nuts :loco: I too have the problem that if I hit the s key it shows just for a sec. then it's gone. But it works on my wifes machine just fine. So it's got to be a setting on my system and yours.

Yes I do, but Sharks 1.0 worked fine with it on.

I'm glad its just not me. Can it be fair to call it a "bug"?

Really? Because as soon as I turn on AA in any of the screen savers I lose the ability to check the framerate...
