Since the latest update my zoo frequently crashes upon load or during play. It should load fine. I only have five enclosures and about fifteen animals. Some save files still load but if i build something extra like some rocks etc. they become unplayable and crash upon load. I already reported the issue. Please share if you also experience these problems. Hopefully frontier will provide a fix as soon as possible.
Anyone else experiencing lags and crashes since update 1.5?

Me too. I tried to load my save file trice today, it always crashes upon load or after some minutes in. It really bothers me. Can someone please look into this??
Edit: I tried it a fourth time, same result. The game loads, I don't do anything, I don't click on anything, but after a minute max. the games crashes.

I experienced crashes before, but not as much as now after the new update. I would often have the game crash when I launch the game, especially if it was the kangaroo intro, don't know why. In the game it always happens when I am in the market or after I exit the market. I had to submit a ticket because I tried every advice they offered on their pages, but it still crashes, and my specs are good enough that it should not be doing this.
edit: and it crashed now when I launched the game :') (ostrich intro). The crash on launch though happens ever since I have the game though, 90% of the time.

I had 3 more crashes after entering/selling/buying/from the market place. It is basically unplayable for me.
I don't know if it is helpful for others (and if this has completely fixed my issue) but i found something interesting regarding Crash fixes in PZ in general here: https://digiworthy.com/2020/07/31/planet-zoo-crashing-fix/
I tried the first fix "Checking the integrity of your game files" and it worked (for now!)

My wild guess is that it affects players differently, depending on the PC specs they have.
Not sure what your specs are, but I managed to find an outdated driver for my NVidia graphics card, released just few days ago but my PC could not detect it. I went to Nvidia page again and downloaded a program which detects missing updates. I am testing the game now and currently experiencing server errors, my franchise keeps disconnecting when putting animals for trade. But I just started testing it.
I am hoping they are working on a hotfix for these issues, because I have seen multiple posts on Steam about it, as well.
I'm in the same boat and lots of people reporting this issue on Frontiers tracker thingymajig:
The above was initially reported Dec 2020 so I'm wondering if it's something other than any recent updates that are to blame? I only bought the game yesterday so no idea what it was like previously.

Actually explains why I had so much trouble with the DLC timed scenario. I think you’re right, it’s the water.
Thanks! I have seen multiple users with same or similar issue, so have to wait I guess
It seems (for now) that I can play challenge mode with no issues.

Yes, and that happens with every content patch until the next patch. thats already tradition. this time, they replaced the climable-area-bug with a deepwater-bug every time you load a franchise zoo. now, you dont have to move your climbable stuff anymore (hopefully), but empty and refill your water areas instead.

I experienced both bugs prior to and after 1.5.

Hi, I already did that and I submitted a ticket myself to the support team as well. I have seen the same reports on Steam's discussion page and I have shared the issue tracker link with those who posted a similar thread. Thank you!Hi all,
