Messed up biome editor and animal

[Hippogriff12]

I recently bought MM2 (yesterday) and after I installed it I found out that  the biome editor was messed up, and the other problem was that every time I clicked on the Beluga and Sea Lion the game froze. I reinstalled it twice and it still does it  I have ES, AA , and MM (of course!) Does anybody know what to do? I will post some pictures. And thank you in advance.

[Hippogriff12]

[RedNotDead]

[Hippogriff12]

I updated them yesterday

[RedNotDead]

ok uninstall all  the zt2 games


then install them one by one and before installing the next ep or anythig else load the game and look and see if you ahve the graphics problem continue until you ahve finished or until you start getting the graphics problem DO NOT INSTALL ANY HACKS OR DOWNLAODS OR ANY KIND until you have done that.

Oops I forgot to say. I did that yesterday also and it was Marine Mania

what operating system do you have?(if it is windows 2000 or older youmight have a memory or coding error, in your computers database or hardrive.)  A lot of people have been having problems with MM2, so you not the only one.

I hav an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 and I already checked. By the way thanks for the help so far

since the ingame pictures were taken have you shut off your computer?(not on sleep mode but off?) because my mm2 was messed up and it worked fine after i shut off my computer.

[Hippogriff12]

That didn't work either. I guess i'll contact microsoft. unless anybody else can help (which I doubt) but thanks for the help 8 )

Since it's a brand-new game, I think your idea of calling MS is the correct one. Good luck! :original:
