Animals on run after update

Hello,

i opened my franchize zoo after update and all of a sudden habitats that had no issues have now animals on the run but still inside the habitat. in the print screen you can see my chimp habitat, the animal on the run is next to the cursor in the middle of the screen...any idea why is this happening now? they cant climb anywhere out of the habitat, there is invisible fence mixed with glass fence on the left for undergound view point and brick wall for entrance on the right....this was fine for hours, any idea please?

Don't think this is a new bug after the update. I have this exact issue, animals keeps "escaping" in the middle of the habitat. It started happening to me about a week ago, so it's an "old" problem

Definitely not a new bug. My macaques do that on a regular base.
This one is just having some fun in his habitat.

I don't think this will be fixed before Christmas.

Before the last update all my enclosures went well, now macaques f.e. are escaping every minute. This never happened before (and it's the same enclosure, no changes), for me this is a new bug..
I already checked the heat map and everything is fine, no escaping points. But I've to check now every minute if an animal is escaped and somewhere boxed. So this makes it now almost unplayable. Well done, Frontier! Game fun is going down, now I assume to get a typewriter's cramp because of all this annoying and senseless clicking...
I guess we'll wait for the next DLC until this will be fixed. I wonder if they really play and test their own game? After the update, I loaded my gamesave and this occured after maybe a minute. And they didn't noticed this... No words...

I have the same issue, it's new for me too. But ive had other animals escape as well, not just monkeys.

I've been running the game for 5 minutes now. 4 escaped animals notifications, two of them for chimps, for which I had the bug not been occurring before.

'Escaping' on a flat, horizontal platform.

It is an old bug, it used to happen a few times per hour, now its happening constantly one after the other, I cant keep up with unboxing them and had to close the game.

I'm not getting notifications of escapes, just suddenly an animal minding its own business inside his habitat gets slammed into a box. Then immediately is the alert that "Animal has been in a box too long." I just had to unbox 13 animals in the space of ten minutes. Not fun to play.... and this is in sandbox.

That's community management as its best. Not even a "sorry" for this obvious disaster and we'll have to wait again for weeks for next fix. Shows a lot about the quality of their work. The bug is obvious, you don't have to search for it.

I have found this is happening to baby animals, I am slowly taking them out as they have issues. 40% of my species are adults only now, including all my apes.

Had a similar issue with baby dall sheep and reindeer. I was fast enough to click on the message to find the animal flying meters above the habitat, they drop back down very fast and the escape message disappears after that. (i reported it on the issue tracker)

I have a feeling it seems to happen a lot when the animals interact or get close to scenery pieces and rocks, but I can't tell for sure.

no, there is no pattern. not even on flat ground or any scenery or enrichment being close.

this update really made the game unplayable for me, finally. this is the 10th escape within 1 ingame year

So it's also a christmas DLC? Hook up a sledge and send it out for Santa :)

But no seriously
Same issue here. However. Since my saved game won't load at all anymore, they won't escape anymore either. Not sure if this is a real improvement.
