Hi

Nice to see you in here and welcome to our community!

You will find some tips for catching zander from that finnish thread.

http://www.kalassa.net/keskustelut/index.php?topic=14180.30

Click the links, there are some "hot spots" found by other propilkki 2 players.

Smelt is usually found near by these places. The river at the left side of the lake might also be worth of trying.

Hope that this will help you.

Hi and than you for a great game. Know we are a lot of ppl here in Sweden that likes to play your game. But I have a question. When will you give us a new rod with a line that can catch some bigger fishes? When I play that map with 4 lakes and takes a walk to the lake down right I lose all my lures all the time. Quite boring to restart the game after 10 minutes because I don't have any lures left :)

Anyway, an exelent game :)

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Hi Jamo! We have no plans for new rod yet, so it is quite clear that it is not available in our forthcoming release (0.4). The next release will contain short tournaments -game type and maybe some new lures and fish species. In future there will be more rods, like mormyska-rod and rod for these balancing-type -lures (you  know these rapala-like things). There will be also (in campaign mode) kind of "skilling system", but it will be released after about 1-2 years.

[wobbler]

When will career mode be avalible?

The next version will concentrate on the cup mode. Don't wait for the next version yet, though. It'll be ready somewhat in spring.

[dlk.Jamo]

And here is some personal records from sweden :)

[Tuomas1]

Not bad. Your trout is really big.

[dlk.Jamo]

I just got my first perch over 1 kg, 1003 g :)

[kiiwer]

Really great results!

[kiiwer]

Yesterday i got 2090g RbwTrout from Iso-Ruuhi. Great success :evil:

[bhs73]

Just wanted to show my records. Not all fishes are shown, but thats only the silver bream. Not that big. :)
Thanx for an awsome game.

[juhox]

[bhs73]

Anyone got a hint about where to find big pikes. Lake, season and so on. Just getting small ones. :(

Hi Mikko,

Please add "System requirements" to the FAQ section. Some people have old hardware and they must be sure they can run PP2 before downloading.

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

We are not sure, what is the lowest requirement for the game. We know only that 3d-graphics adapter (and drivers) & DirectX7 or newer -are needed. And then the game needs about 50mb hard disk space for the installation and works only by using windows as an operating system. Memory and processor requirements are very difficult to estimate, because different operating systems and virus/firewall softwares may slow down also newer and faster computers. Karib has been playing with quite old&slow computer, but it might run also in older&slower ones.

For example, Diablo 2 mimimun requirement are 233mhz & 32mb ram.. And I have tried it with 200MMX & 32mb ram, it worked but VERY slowly. Voices and movements very not synchronized at all. Framerate was 1 picture in 1-2 seconds when fighting against Andariel. I am sure, that updating processor to 233mhz wouldnt have any effect.

So, we do not want to publish "system requirements" but maybe some recommendations could be presented. We have to think about them..

[bhs73]

Any ideas about when the next verion will be released?

[Jarzka]

Hopefully in the next spring 2007.

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Cup-game, extra-species and 1-3 new lakes needs to be finished and beta-tested. It will take some time, but we TRY to release new version during spring. Maybe end of the march or beginning of april.

[Somm]

Mikko, in release notes you said that in future you will include to pp2 all species (or almost all) which could be caught in Finland in wintertime. Can you write down a list of that fishes for the foreigners like me? I think it should be interesting... Latin names will be enough.

[eerok]

You see the most common finnish fish here http://www.skes.org/kalalajit.php :)

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Complete list of drawn fish species will not be published. Some of these are going to be so rare in the game, that catching one of them should be a surprise to a player. ;)

But here is some species, that are designed to be in the game:

NOTE! The list is NOT complete and might contain some species that will not be available in the final release (because these are not usually caught by normal ice fishing methods).

Perch
Ruffe
Pike
Pikeperch
Rainbow trout
Trout
Arctic char
Brook trout
Lake trout
Salmon
Grayling
Whitefish
Vendace
Smelt
Roach
Dace
Bream
Silver bream
Zope, Blue bream
Ide
Rudd
Bleak
Chub
Asp
Crucian carp
Burbot
Viviparous
Bull-rout
Flounder
Sprat
Baltic herring
Three-spined stickleback

[Somm]

Some of these are going to be so rare in the game, that catching one of them should be a surprise to a player. ;)

So, if you wanna make a surprise for a player, don't mention these rare species in lake description ;)

[wobbler]

i do have a problem look here : :roll:

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Fixing the problem:   Buy 3d graphics adapter, if you already have it, install drivers for the hardware. Or if you have done also that, then check out that your mainboards drivers are installed.

Lastly, check that you have DirectX 7 or newer.
