WinRAR, no go. Not even repairable

Windows 7 won't extract it - gets an error. But worked OK with previous versions, including 11i.

The (unhelpful) error is:
Error 0x80004005: Unspecified Error.

Note: Because of the way things are handled, you can't get 11i any more - the download gets you the "new" file that won't extract with some tools.

WinZip 9 won't extract it, either.

Hi Jim,

Yesterday (6 May) I noticed one of the LionFish swimming through the 3D coral. (The one in the centre above the clock.) Its tail went "through" the coral. My machine is a bit high end. It is a Gigabyte i7 motherboard with 12gb ram and a ATI 5780 graphics card. My resolution is 1920 X 1080 and I'm getting just over 111 fps. Sleep set at 10. With the exception of the starfish, all the fish are displaying. I have not noticed this effect before (11i) but then I don't see the fish swimming through the coral that often.
Great piece of software. Can't wait to see the new fish.

Regards

Ray

I have an Intel Mac running MAquarium 3.01. This morning I saw three different fish of varying sizes swim very close to the right side of the mouth of the small cave, where they promptly swam through the rock.

DocLove,

Ray, this is a known issue and is tied into the development of the new fish behaviours/models. Once Jim achieves a breakthrough regarding said behaviour/models (into which is tied a more sophisticated collision avoidance technique), the coral passthroughs should become a thing of the past - or at least become extremely rare. We are all awaiting the breakthrough with baited breath, but it may take some time to arrive.

Meanwhile, have fun with the current aquarium secure in the knowledge that improvements are constantly being worked upon.
