And after a really long time, suddenly animals walk through barriers again.

So I've been playing my main zoo in my Franchise that I haven't changed or built anything in for the last year or so, I'm just managing my park and breeding/selling animals.

And since this monday, animals just walk out of their habitats, they seem to find a weak spot where they just walk through the barrier. Even though nothing has changed in my park. This bug is the main reason I stopped playing a long time ago. And then it got fixed and I started playing again and now it's back...

Anyone else suddenly notice an increase in animals wandering out of their habitat?

Had this with a Snow Leopard Enclosure once. Try if it helps to replace the complete Barrier with another Fence and then replace it with the Fence you actually want

Did it help?

I tried your tip with the Lions, so far no escapes anymore there, the otters and flamingo habitats I put some rocks at the weak spot they were escaping from, that seems to work as well. It's not that I can't find a solution, it's more that I'm frustrated that after so much time, this bug is still around...

 

[JonasH8000]

So much for that tactic. Did not work! Guess I'll be throwing down some rocks over there as well, hopefully that'll keep them inside...

Sad to see that it didn't work. It helped back when I had the Problem with my Snow Leopards. So there are probably multiple Things that can cause this Bug.
Did you make sure that no Enrichment Items are too close to the Fence?
Edit: with replacing the new Barrier with the previous Fence, I didn't mean to reverse the Action but to replace it with a completely new Barrier in Case you did it that way

I'm having also a lot of escapes issues lately. Many are caused by enrichment items, like the balls and the boxes that the animals move around the habitat, but others escapes are a mystery for me.

Climbing Stuff close to the Wall? I really hope they will fix the Climbing System someday

No, non climbing animals are also escaping when they use the enrichment items. I had a nyala walking happily through a glass barrier for example.

I have this problem aswell. It`s really annoying. Animals just walk through barriers. And there aren`t any holes or weak spots. They just phase through a concrete or glas wall. Or for my African Penguins, swim through the wood barrier and swim trough the path next to it. And the water stops within their enclosure. There is no water underneath the path or something like that. There is no enrichment item next to the barrier. I don`t know what to do here. It is just annoying, cause I`m at my wits end here. I hope that there will be a solution for this problem in the near future. Cause it kind of is annoying when you spend 5 hours on a habitat and then this happens all the time.
