Title: Can't see pond fish in BV - advice on updating drivers? Post by: Winklesim on 2007 October 26, 04:42:15 G'day all,
I noticed this morning when i installed BV that i can no longer see fish in the ponds, no matter how deep/wide and on lots that i could definitely see fish on before installing. I haven't updated my video drivers in probably 12 months so wondering if people thought this would be the way to go? Way back in FFS days i had a HUUUGE issue with video driver updates so i'm reluctant to just jump in off the deep end and screw over my entire system unless someone elsed thinks this is a good idea ;D . I have a Radeon from the X1600 series, can't remember which at the moment... Cheers, Winklesim. Title: Re: Can't see pond fish in BV - advice on updating drivers?

Personally, if everything else works fine, I'd be reluctant to mess with it just for pond fish!

Add the following line to your userstartup.cheat file, and it should get your fish back:
