Issues fixed
Low FPS
There are two ways of fixing the problem:
- Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
- Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.
Inaccurate Music
Music produced by singing fish in the Virtual Tank is always one semitone lower than its proper notation, with the exception of Bach's Toccata in D Minor. This can be fixed by altering the files ding.ogg, dinghi.ogg, dinglo.ogg and dingsuperhi.ogg with Audacity or other audio-editing program. Check this reddit post for how to do it with Audacity. This will make the music play with the correct tone, aside from the aforementioned Toccata in D Minor, which then becomes one semitone higher instead.
Screensaver Not Working
In the Steam version only, a flaw in the installation results in the screensaver that that can be added to Windows through the game failing to work when activated. This can be fixed by deleting the folder C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium, which in other versions of the game contains the players' save files, but not in the Steam version. Then, opening the command prompt and running the command mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium" "C:\ProgramData\Steam\Insaniquarium" will make the game access the correct folder, allowing the screensaver to work properly.
