Aquarium Bugs
We are in the process of making a comprehensive list of everything in the Aquarium that could be considered a bug.
If it's not listed here, it won't be worked on! Here's my list so far... I realize that my Eudora problem might be a bug in Eudora or would be fixed with newer drivers. But the others I listed are bonafide bugs. Please post anything you can think of. |
The only bug I seem to be having is "Limit frame rate to 60" actually limits frame rate to 50. Not a big deal, since I leave Vsync on and that limits frame rate to monitor refresh. That is the only "bug" I have encountered.

The monitor doesn’t shut off with the Power Saver. I have it set at 2 hours, but have tested it for many different times.

The "Royal Gramma left fin is glowing in the dark" bug is still available.

I have no bugs but it's runing slow:
30fps at 400MHz, 256RAM, TNT2 and Direct X8 :( |
It's the TNT2.
What resolution are you running? |
IXNAY,
That could be about right, depending on what resolution you are running. I have a TNT2 video card on my office system that runs the aquarium, and I am in that range running at 1600x1200, at least I think thats what it is, I'll have to look tomorrow. The strain is mainly on your video card, your processor doesn't carry the load. |
Win98 SE german with Voodoo3 2000 Card.
Screensaver with desktop-link started, Alt-Tab, the screensaver is disapearing somewhere ... with Alt-Tab I can't bring it back on screen, no trayicon or task in task-list. By trying to start it again from desktop-link nothing happens, I must logoff or reboot my machine to start it again. |

memilm, You can download my tool "Task Keys Reviver", so you don't have to reboot when this happens again. http://home.wanadoo.nl/sfinx98/progs/keys.zip |

Otherwise, Alt-Tab should be passed to the OS normally. |
1024x768, but I don't know why, now I have about 50fps. Maybe somebody switched on the turbo on my PC :D
|
I use Eudora 5.1 with Windows 2000. No problems with the aquarium crashing. I have an 16 MB ATI Rage card on my Dell system.

Also screensaver comes on while using the DivX Player 2.0 Alpha- while watching the movie causing both to crash (and the bubble sound stays until both tasks are ended). Results in a blank wallpaper (icons remain however). Athlon 650 MHz Voodoo 3 2000 256 SDRAM |
In this case the DivX Player should prevent the start of a screensaver.

DISAPPEARING FISHTANK :-)
I did a search for nortons antivirus and it came up with nothing so i'll post here and see what you think.
On my win2k system if the aquarium screen saver is running and nortons antivirus then starts up, the fishtank disappears but the tank noises remain, and the fishtank cannot be returned to, or re-run from the icon. I either have to kill the process, or if it is not bothering me much, i just ignore it and keep working, and it eventually stops?? I have only noticed this recently as i have scheduled my virus scan for lunchtime, and have been taking lunches earlier than usual ro screen saver kicks in first then virus scan. No big deal, just thought i'd mention it. |
I also run Norton, but can restart the SS from a minimized position.

Monitor sleep-mode bug
I've looked through quite a few of the messages and there seems to be fixes for most everything except the monitor sleep-mode bug.
Just wondered if this one was officially recognized yet. I'm using version 1.1 on a Pentium-4 under WinXP. The disable monitor sleep mode box is not checked but I've tried various time periods and the sleep mode never kicks in. I was also wondering about the CTRL-S and CTRL-T fixes. On my computer (all 3 computers actually) pressing the CTRL key alone (no mouse movement) is enough to interrupt any screen saver running so how can any CTRL-key combination be used with Aquarium? Thanks all. |
This is, in itself, a bug.
Which I have reported in the "Aquarium bugs" thread. The solution to the Ctrl key is to press SPACE and turn off "Exit on Mouse Move". I am moving this thread under the "Aquarium bugs" topic. |
I have had the problem (bug) with the Aquarium minimizing to the taskbar when I get a new mail notification since the 1.0 came out to the point that I get frustrated and don't use the aquarium whenever I am away from my desk..Is there a fix for this yet??
thank you...... |
star fish
well i dont know if it is a common bug but i have had the star fish fly off the screen once.. it was the backround light up and forground light down
