Yep, had that one before. Not quite as super fluid as I would like to see, but still very very pretty

Hello,

Does this only work with the Radeon card? I have a Geoforce4 Ti 4200(AGP 8X) card but it wont work. If I try and run Reef it comes up with this error:

"Unable to initialize graphics (reason unknown).Please verify your hardware setup or the software installation"

Cheers

forget my post above.

Got it going but it looks poop on my PC. Hardly any colour and all the fish appear fragmented/segmented, like gaps where there shouldnt be. I thought my card was half decent, obviously it cant be . How do I take a screen shot like you did in your original post? I'll take one and show you what I mean if you like?

Cheers

Hi Ernie

To take screen shot press print screen key (next to F12 above Insert) then escape from demo open up paint or any paint program and paste (ctrl and v), sorry don't know if it's supposed to run on any other graphics cards.

Hangs head in shame, must turn off bit torrents whilst benching

44fps-72fps depending on how many fishes etc etc
