One thread only - want to have an easy list.  Please search through the thread before you post.  Go ahead and list anything that you have found in the demo.  We can always reconfirm if it is still an issue once the set hits stores.

I've got one i just noticed-
When i deleted a section of a tank wall, the water drained, like normal. This caused the Orca being held in the tank to be transfered to a crate. I was able to delete the crate, which allowed to orca to actually swim halfway in the ground. After a few seconds, it beached.

That's not a bug, really, Megaraptor. That's what WOULD happen if a marine animal was suddenly taken out of its crate and 'dumped' on land. They flop around and then beach themselves and die. Not very nice, actually. Just pick them up and put the crate back in the water.

It didn't flop around and die. It swam around. I'll get you a pick if you want.

Yeah, the rockhopper penguins have SO many glitches!! They walk around on their side, walk through the rock float, et cetera.

One glitch I had was that orcas would always get stuck in the show tank. I had three. They'd come in fine, do their show, then they'd just swim around for a minute in front of the open gate till it closed. One of the orcas even floats about 10 feet above the water then slowly floats back down. Then they'd just swim around till I noticed or got crated by a zookeeper.

The ambients will actually swim right through the desert island/rock bed if you have shallow enough water.

Once I got a few reports that my rockhopper penguin was not contained. When I checked, it seemed pretty contained to me.

Another thing is that the green turtles try to lay their eggs on the desert island, but the eggs sink through to the bottom. They still hatch, though.

Thats the way it really is, WackyPanda. Turtles bury their eggs.

I know what he means, When they laid their eggs on the Island they sunk thru the entire island and got stuck in the bottom of the pool. Ive had this happen.

When you've got shallow enough water the penguin egg is hovers above the water.

Yeah, the rockhopper penguins are so glitchy. They walk almost upside-down for me!

Also, I've had the same glitch where the turtles lay their eggs on the desert island, but they appear on the bottom.

Hasn't anyone even noticed that you can place working tank portals between tanks with different water levels in them? I really don't want to be next to the opening when that door is used. :raft: :whistling

Even when an orca is fully trained, it still doesn't seem to skyhop properly - all it does is go up and wiggle its tail.

Wait, wait, now That's because you have done some abt 5 trainings right! The orca if it gets like 65 % It'll only do the wiggling tail stuff, If you get 91% and above only it does the whole thing! Now you might have got 100% or 95...% in some of the trainings, but got only 90 and lesser in the other trainings, lets say Tr 5 or 4. Now When Your creating the show and add an animal, Orca in this case, in the side You gotta choose what act ya want it to do! There are only two now in the demo, but if you place your cursor (when selecting the act) on the button in the side, i.e, if ya've completed all the trainings it'd be extended to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..(it depends on how many trainings you've completed) Now you must've clicked no.4 or 5(eg) So it does howmuchever it did in the 4 training, so I don't think that's a bug! If ya want your orca to do properly click the training no. in which ya have scored above 91%! Amkid my water from outside the tank will always look fully like that only, whereas you've got only a little area where it wd be like that, it depends on the graphics card maybe!

You have to complete more than one to choose between them! If you place your cursor on the icon it extends to 1, 2!

I don't think that's a big - the files and folders are completely separate, so I think it's probably something wrong with your ZT2, like a new download or something.
