First and foremost, the Lionfish is amazing. Jim has outdone himself yet again!


Now for the question. I'm not a "frame-rate freak" but I noticed my framerates have gone up with the new version and I'm not sure why.

I usually get around 40-50FPS, now it's at 70-80FPS.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Tim,
Others have also suggested that the lights in the tank cycle with the time of day. Most thought that that would be far too slow. Plus, you have the problems of days getting longer and shorter and those living near the polar caps would have extended periods of light or dark.

Edit: Somehow our posts ended up on separate threads. Hope you get over to this one to see it.

Just installed mine. The link from http://www.serenescreen.com/download/upgrade.asp worked just fine as did the request for my serial number. The quick launch buttons still do not work if one has AutoCad installed :( Other than that the installation went as it should.
Nice job Jim:TU:

HEKP - I can't find a Keycode that works? ...any ideas?? - I hate to try (pay) again.

Ralph -

I changed the program so that Autocad users can rename the Desktop copy of the Aquarium to Aquarium.exe, and just click it anytime they want to run the program. If you also want to use it as a screensaver, keep a copy with the original Aquarium.scr name in the System folder.

dwax 02-20-2002 09:09 PM

After a year and a half of being in your data base and one
of the first to buy the screensaver when you decide to change
keycodes im no longer in your database whwat up should a
person wait and not beta test?

Jim Sachs 02-20-2002 09:14 PM

Sunking - After a year and a half of the introductory price, you just missed it by a few minutes!

Regarding the credit card problems, that is a matter for service@serenescreen.com. This is just a user forum, and no one here has any knowledge of Prolific's banking software.

Jim Sachs 02-20-2002 09:16 PM

dwax - That is why we put in the feature for those who recieved early Key Codes. Just go to the site, enter your name and Key Code, and you will be given a new-style one, which won't need to change again.

Jim Sachs 02-20-2002 09:22 PM

Enigma -

With each new version, I try to streamline the code a little more. On some cards framerate increases, on some it decreases. Life is like a box of chocolates -- You never know what you're going to get.

strike11 02-20-2002 09:24 PM

Wow...
 
Wow...yeah, Wow...that's it. Unbelievable Jim...ok, I guess it was worth the wait...but still worse than the day before Christmas...

cadetdrivr 02-20-2002 09:24 PM

Wow. Version 1.1 sure looks good on the internet.

Too bad that as a beta purchaser (8/27/00!), I’m not in the system for an updated key code. I even tried the link for beta users, and it returned “The name that you gave submitted does not match your Key Code.” Yikes!

I’m looking at the printout from the day I signed up, and everything matches. I guess I’ll just have to wait a few days to see if prolific responds to my email.

ps The Lionfish does look cool in the photos!

dwax 02-20-2002 09:26 PM

Are you trying to say Jim if you bought it in Aug of 2000
you have to go buy ver 1.1 all over again

dimbulb 02-20-2002 09:27 PM

Can't enter my passcode
 
Can't seem to get registered. Got my new passcode via email just minutes ago. If I key it in and press Enter or click the OK button, the screen blanks and I never get any indication that the code was taken. Once I miskeyed the code and I got a error saying the code was wrong. But I can't get registered, any ideas.

Jim Sachs 02-20-2002 09:30 PM

dwax -

Of course not. Just go to the site, click on the link for current users who have not recieved their Key Code by email, enter the name you used when you purchased and your old Key Code. Your new Key Code will instantly be emailed to you.

feldon34 02-20-2002 09:31 PM

dwax, All purchasers prior to February 20 get 1.1 upgrade for free.
