You didn't really answer my question. -You- said that you've had a lot of trouble...well not everyone is. My computer far exceeds the system requirements but both Dino Danger AND MM installed perfectly straight away for me. I haven't seen any evidence that the majority of people are having installation problems with MM2.

I agree with you, Shen Tirag. I feel the MAJORITY of people have not had a problem with it.

I've never had to reformat or uninstall a ZT2 product before installing another - I didn't even have to uninstall MM2 beta before installing the official release. I've never had the tortoise problem. Most problems (not all, granted) are fixed when someone merely places the files back in the correct spot. Most of the errors I have seen are common human mistakes, and are easily resolved. If you look around the forums, most people have found a simple solution that did not require reformatting or uninstalling anything. Sometimes they are so simple that you'd never think about it - but fortunately most of those "bugs" have been squashed and the majority of people (judging by the amount of MM2 show and tells and the dwindling number of Bug Reports) have been able to install successfully. I am sorry that you have not been able to, I truly am, because it is a great game despite all the "problems" and I wish you could enjoy it as well. Every game has there problems, but you are really talking about a small company here. Sure, Blizzard puts out patches, but they've got the resources to do so. Most game companies don't. And most game companies don't have a representative here trying to figure out the problems too. If they can't reproduce the error at their stuido, the error doesn't exist. That's the way bugs work.

Do any of the individuals that aren't having any problems with MM2 have a problem with the animals not ordering correctly when you look at the screen that shows all the animals in your zoo?

I've also noticed that there are now no toys or shelter's under the zookeeper recommendations for the Hippopotamus (this may also have explained why I couldn't get RND's space hack to work).

Has anyone else seen these problems or are they exclusive to my machine? I know RND has seen the problem with animals not ordering correctly - but I'm not sure if he's the only one.

how many times do i have to say im a SHE rofl

Yes, I have problems with the order. The hippie lady also has extra faces for hair. Other than these, my game has no problems.

Bengal · « **Reply #206 on:** December 20, 2006, 09:10:32 AM »

I have the same problem with the "hippy lady" Crooky.

AnimalKingdom · « **Reply #207 on:** December 20, 2006, 11:58:54 AM »

Sorry RND, I knew that too - just carelessness on my part.

I'm tempted to format my machine and start from scratch so as to get everything (not just ZT2) working to it's highest capacity. I don't use the marine animals enough to offset the annoyance of the animals not being ordered correctly, so until it's fixed - I'm keeping MM2 uninstalled. I don't know when/if it will be fixed with the only thing being close to a rumored patch/expansion was when someone had the "Extinct" expansion up on Amazon (I believe it has since been taken down).

mikaboshi · « **Reply #208 on:** December 20, 2006, 05:53:57 PM »

As far as I know, the ordering problem is something that occurred before MM2...I don't think its a MM2 exclusive. But yet, when I go to look at my animals, that are listed right. Maybe a hack or something is interferring with it? I don't have the answer for you.

My hippos have recommendations so I can't explain that one either.

The hippie lady I do have problems with, but I have to tell you, some of this is pretty nit picky. I never noticed it until someone pointed it out, and thus its not that big of a problem to me. This I don't think is a legitimate "bug". A bug to me is something that makes it so the game is either unplayable or such a hassle to deal with that it is nop longer fun. So far, I have not found many bugs such as that in ZT2.

yes I have that too. its not A big deal .

Nique · « **Reply #210 on:** December 20, 2006, 06:22:33 PM »

The only thing I have to add, is that I do have the problems with the animal order as well - but I saw it before MM2 also. And I don't play with any hacks, Mika, so I don't think that is the problem. Maybe a download but because of my recent computer issues, I don't play with user downloads installed either (I'll place them for a particular zoo and remove later) - so I do think it is something from within the game itself.

AnimalKingdom · « **Reply #211 on:** December 21, 2006, 04:55:40 AM »

The animal ordering is a problem for me (as evident by my constant complaining about it), because it's the easiest way to control an animal population within a zoo. When they're out of order it's harder to see how many males and females of each species are in the zoo.

As for this issue occuring earlier - It didn't occur in the same way it's occuring now that MM2 has been created. Before it was just male animals of one species appearing before the females did. Now, it's species themselves getting mixed up.

The hippo issue I'm almost certain is exclusive to my machine, and is likely the result of it being almost two years old (albeit a top of the line model in February 2005).

I've also had a problem, both before and after MM2 with a zoo completely losing all the awards in the awards screen - and then subsequently not giving out any more in game challenges. I'm not sure what causes this, but I believe it's happened to me twice now - the most recent was a Large City Zoo where I started out with only $5000. By year 3 this had happened.

About the population, I monitor that by sorting the animals by pregnancy, try that and see if it helps.

I try to keep 4 males and 4 females of each species (with a few exceptions for those species that don't self-sustain very well). When the list orders correctly it is ideal for this.

since marine mania all of my red kangaroos only give birth to males.

Ouch · « **Reply #215 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:38:56 PM »

The major problem with me is that I can't play ANY game saved before the installation of Marine Mania anymore. I've had to delete everything.

ever since MM the dinos no longer attack their dino dummy the right way. they are soo far away from the dummy when they use it.

In the Great White Zoopedia, it says in the fun facts are "Blacktip Reef Shark" Instead of Great White Shark

I am having problems swimming under water. I can go into a tank but when I try to go underwater I can't. the only way for me to get underwater is to swim with an animal.

Do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse? Try using that if you do.
