If you didn't buy the game... well then there is your problem.
Why wouldn't I upgrade? To me, the old physics were more fun. You could make longer runs without getting shot and you didn't float so much. I like the changes to the heavy, it needed to be stronger. The changes to the light, I'm not fond of.

If you don't have a "Downloadable Products You Own" section, then you need to log onto GG with the account you used to buy the game with. If you didn't buy the game... well then there is your problem.

"Home Page For Tally Ho (blablah)
Welcome to your home page!"
Then down the page there should be a section with the "Downloadable Products You Own" and a Download link. The same link you clicked on when you downloaded it after you bought it.
Hmm... I wonder where the folks who bought it a ShockWave.com go to get their update...

Anyway, has anyone played the target pratice mode untill 100 pts? I did, but got no screeny. The only hard 1 to kill is the UFO, cause it races around so much.
Target practice is boring.

In any case either try hitting reload/refresh a few times for the member page or try another web browser like Mozilla. I ran into this horrible bug when I did a very nice web portable system for the company I work for so they can easily keep track of bugs and such, but they couldn't use it because safari would cache the pages wrong and you would get nothing out of the website. Apple should have known better not to use KDE's HTML web library for safari since KDE has the world's worst built-in web browser to ever exist that I've ever seen.

@Tally Ho: safari has a serious problem with portal websites such as garagegames.com and many other websites that use dynamic content simply because safari caches webpages wrong. It apparently doesn't even do a check with the web server to see if the webpage is older on your side or not, but instead decides when a cache is too old(bad way of doing it).In any case either try hitting reload/refresh a few times for the member page or try another web browser like Mozilla.

I used Safari just fine to handle my download. Hmmm. But, Refresh is always a good thing to try in any browser, just in case. Hopefully it's not cached at your ISP...

Then you put the TT folder in your hard drive (mine is named Macintosh HD).
When installed on my desktop it didn't work. I was entering the PW but nothing happened. Once moved to my hard drive it worked fine.

Tally, you must go and download the game anew.Then you put the TT folder in your hard drive (mine is named Macintosh HD).

If you Purchased the game on Shockwave.com, you do not need to install the 1.1 update. The shockwave version has all but a few small technical changes that do not affect gameplay and is compatible with the 1.1 version.

I am not happy with the new light handling. I can see the developer wanting to even things out but cutting down on the manuverability sucks. It's in the air too much. I get a bit queeeeesy playing now. Some of the fun is gone. What do you guys think?

Wait, so the Shockwave folk have been able to see health power ups on the radar this whole time?!?

The health powerups have always been on my radar (flashing red circles), but they appear on radar only when you are low on health. I bought TT from Shockwave about 2 weeks ago. I thought Dramamine was a requirement for playing the light tank...LC50

Can't say I've noticed a flashing red blip on my radar yet though... either Im never smoking for long enough, or there are never any healths nearby when I am. I will be keeping my eyes peeled though.

Heh.. they've had that advantage, and we've still been beating most of the shockwavers without that functionality :)Can't say I've noticed a flashing red blip on my radar yet though... either Im never smoking for long enough, or there are never any healths nearby when I am.
