Ooh, you were too quick, you beat me. Yeah, I agree with @Pedro20054, I also love watching the animals use it, especially the penguins and crocs
There are two things if you can please correct in NEW - Extended Sandbox Settings for Guest Settings
Visitors are asking for shops and since visitors no longer need to eat and drink and go to the bathroom, I thought they need more shops. AND the other thing the animals that have the
platform still can't use is it's a shame.

Thanks for these fixes! Is there any update on when the bug that's causing the game to crash when launched from Steam going to be fixed? Every time I start up Steam, the game crashes on the first launch. I know I could just launch the game multiple times, but it's been months since this has been happening, and I keep reporting it in crash reports to no avail. I know I'm not the only one too 
Is there something I can do to stop it from happening?

You've probably tried this already, but maybe it helps if you verify the Game Files. Or your Computer doesn't fulfill the Requirements (the Engine was updated one or two Updates ago, so the Requirements got a bit higher)Thanks for these fixes!

Does this patch address the underwater feeder crashing the game? Anytime you have it in the habitat and move close or over the feeder, the whole game freezes up and you cannot do anything.
I haven't experienced this, yet. Does it always happen or just occasionally?
It started happening after the last update and dlc drop. I have removed them from my zoo.
Thanks for the info. I have verified the game files. My PC far exceeds the requirements, except for the GPU. I have an older GPU (amd radeon hd 6900 series) and haven't been able to get a new one thanks to the shortage. The game runs fine even on ultra graphics with my current GPU, so could it really be the GPU that's causing the crash?
Thank you! I really appreciate the specificity of listing the additions and crash fixes individually. So often when I find something doesn't work, I just stop doing it, so it's great to have a list of things to try again!
I don't know much about this Stuff (only started changing Hardware a few Months ago) but I assume it is likely that this is the Reason. If you are not sure, you can ask in the Off Topic Section of the Forum. The People there were helpful even though they were likely annoyed because of my missing Knowledge when I needed to replace multiple Parts
Were you able to play the game properly ? (Did the crashes started after a certain update)
Amd radeon HD 6900 is an "oldie" nowadays in gaming. If one part is not supported or too old, that could cause issues.
Try to play the game with lower and maybe even the absolute minimum graphic settings. Just to rule out that option.
That being said, the start-up/steam crash has been mentioned a lot. Even from PC owners who exceed all requirements. So don't go replacing expensive parts that easily
Could be a just a bug.
Repairing (not uninstalling) steam client is always an option. Recommend reading the how-to/troubleshooting part on the steam page for that one.
Conflicting software?
Yes, I got the game when it released and never had any issues with crashing until after an update near the beginning of this year (not sure exactly which one, but I think it started around January). I'm still able to play the game fine with little to no lag (even on higher graphics), just have to launch it twice in order to do so. I just hope it doesn't get worse!Were you able to play the game properly ? (Did the crashes started after a certain update)

The crashing started when I was using my older PC (it still met the requirements though). I recently upgraded my PC with completely new hardware last month, downloaded Steam and the game all fresh, but the start up crashes still happened. The only hardware that I couldn't upgrade was my GPU. If people with even better PCs than mine are having the issue though, then I doubt it's an issue with my GPU.
Thanks for the advice!
See the first page - it's being looked into but there's no time frame.
I request that the Vista Points be altered so that if they are placed inside a habitat they can promote said habitat no matter how far they are from the barrier.Hayo Zookeepers!
It's been a pretty incredible few weeks, it's so great to see you all enjoying the Africa Pack as well as Update 1.6, not to mention seeing entries for the forum competition coming in!

Oh thank you, these 2 were driving me crazy.
Would it be possible to also turn off guests commenting on plants when that requirement is toggled off, please? Guests are always getting angry faces because a habitat is "too barren" or has "too many plants".
I think the Filters not working propertly when i filtering in the Tradecente for an Animal and cklick of All select, You can only see the Filtered Animals selected in Sandbox. But when you put them in a Enclosure , you not really put only the filtered Animals you put Every Animal in that enclosure saved in your Tradecenter I think that should be changed .
Had that Problem too when I wanted to put all my Baby Gharials in a Enclosure that isn't connected to the Main Path.
Also when you use the new Search Option in the Market or the Trade Center, the Filter doesn't stay when you close it and open it again. It still shows the Name of the Species in the Search Bar but it will show every Animal
