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.

EVERRET · 06-30-2005, 08:19 PM

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.

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)

enigma63941 · 06-30-2005, 11:39 PM

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

enigma63941 · 06-30-2005, 11:41 PM

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

enigma63941 · 06-30-2005, 11:43 PM

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

enigma63941 · 06-30-2005, 11:53 PM

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.

enigma63941 · 06-30-2005, 11:57 PM

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

clifdene · 07-01-2005, 03:04 AM

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?

Tiny Turtle · 07-01-2005, 03:10 AM

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?

Tiny Turtle

Many thanks. The fresh install worked.

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

feldon34 · 07-01-2005, 10:50 AM

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

Try reinstalling DirectX and try different video drivers.

ESHIREY · 07-01-2005, 11:24 AM

That is nuts

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...
