Known Issues

We are currently investigating the following:

General
  • Frame rate improvements ongoing
  • Autocompleting a transport ride can lead to stalls, we advise against using this option currently
  • Entrance prices are being reset
  • Infrequent crash seen when deleting a habitat
Scenario related
  • You can block your progress completing the scenario by releasing animals to the wild too early
  • Hint - Call keepers to your habitat if animal welfare is low
Save related
  • A delay when saving a zoo can make it appear that it isn’t saving when it is, please be patient
Animal related
  • Animal disease is turned off for Beta
  • Sometimes animals can be boxed, but the option to unbox is unavailable. You can get round this by moving the animal to storage and placing back in a habitat.
  • Animals sometimes jump through barriers
Staff related
  • Staff are not automatically placed back on research if they have to re-energise at the Staff Centre
  • Staff can get stuck walking. This can be fixed by moving them.
UI related
  • Path and Terrain UI will not open if you have opened them twice in a row beforehand. If you open other UI and try again this fixes the issue.

Thank you for your continued feedback. We will keep you informed of any new updates or changes in the Beta!
