Automatic Lighting Issue - Page 2

Edgar · 07-22-2004, 09:02 AM

The auto lights not staying checked is a bug in MD. I guess our tester did not catch this and I did not catch this. It will be fixed on the next update.

Whew..I was begining to think I was the only one with this problem.

Feldon is your shark screensaver working fine?

feldon34 · 07-22-2004, 11:12 AM

I haven't tested the MD version.

So what's the progress for that lighting bug fix

?

De Bobo Mon · 09-02-2004, 06:02 PM

thanks

enigma63941 · 02-01-2005, 04:10 PM

So when is the lighting fix going to be released?

Tiny Turtle · 02-02-2005, 02:15 AM

Dear Prolific,
Morgan's sig used to say "Gran Turismo 4 – The delay of your life". Are you trying to beat their record or something? I realise there apparently must be more interesting projects to pursue, but this approach with "we'll release an update soon" followed by half a year of inactivity is a bit annoying.

Realise that I love S:TotD. It's my favorite of the Prolific savers (though losing out to Jim's). This lighting bug does seriously mess it up for me though and presumably lots of other people as well.

The first reports of this bug in this thread was from March last year. Is there a serious chance of a fix within the year of the report?

/Tiny

Edgar · 02-02-2005, 04:46 AM

I fixed the bug for quite a while already. I actually reminded Jim yesterday about it. I will ask them again.

Finally someone who knows how I feel..I thought it was just me. I guess I'll have to try out the demo for at least a month before I put $15 dollars down.

We just uploaded a new version of Sharks and Sharks MD which we think addresses this problem. Please download from http://www.lifeglobe.com.

feldon34 · 02-09-2005, 04:53 PM

And before anyone freaks, this is a patched version of 1.0 to correct the issue described in this thread. To my knowledge, it is not the major upgrade that's been discussed on this forum.

patscarr · 02-09-2005, 08:55 PM

Just downloaded. I'll give it a try and let you know.

ESHIREY · 02-09-2005, 09:24 PM

I got it as soon as it was posted. I'm going to try it right now. Had to watch AI first. The kids are good this year.
