Buggy Tortoise?

Personally, I always enjoy the "Clothing Optional" Days at the zoo.  I have a number of pictures that I think are hilarious but this is a family site.  All I can say is that it's a good thing my zoos sell t-shirts!

For those with this problem, defragmenting your hard drive cleans it right up.

My worst bug is while playing the Breeding Zoo campaign, the Galapagos Giant Tortoise crashes my computer *every* time.  I've tried everything, playing under different user names (lots of people in my family play ZT2), under different users in Windows XP etc.  I have to hard reboot to get out when it hangs.  It's definitely the Galapagos Giant Tortoise.  

I haven't read this whole thread, but I wonder if others have encountered this (I'll go back and check).  I'd really like to figure this out because my son is dying to get the breeding center.

FWIW, I did long ago get the breeding center, but only after multiple crashes.  I can't any more.


Well finally someone else have this problem!!! *yay* I hate that the turtle crases the game!!! What should we dooo? Without hacking?

I don't know. Do you have any user-created items?

Yes the Galapagos tortoise.. If I start a new zoo and place one, it instantly crashes.

Ah, so I'm not alone.  Not only does the G Tortoise crash the game as soon as I even click on it in the selection screen, but zoos I'd made with the tortoise (and there are many, since I loves me some tortoises) crash the game after maybe a minute of screentime

Based on others' posts, this appears to be independent of having hacks/user downloads or not.  I don't have hacks anymore but have some user items.  Others have a "clean" game and still experience the crash.  To me that would point to the game.

Will also check the "ask BF" forums, but last I saw, they couldn't recreate it inhouse - a most dismaying situation indeed.

ETA - by "the game" I mean the MM pack

I have a new computer with a bigger graphics card and more RAM and now find that the Galapagos tortoise does not crash my game anymore.

For me, I just save the game, create the G. tortoise exhibit, save again, add a male, save the game again. It'll usually crash, but not intil it saves, I have just enough time between adding and the crash to save. Restart the game. Add a female, save, it'll crash again. Restart. I don't go interact with them, click on them, nothing. The game is usually fine after that. Did that help at all?
