Frontier really drop the ball on planet zoo

I don’t think this is a bug. You get a similar effect when switching from a rather dark into a bright environment and is most likely an attempt to recreate a ”realistic” effect of the camera sensor’s exposure adustment (or the human eye?). The heatmap is very bright - exposure is reduced. Switch to the normal darker environment - initial underexposure until the ”camera” has adjusted. If you emerge from the inside of a cave, for example, into bright daylight, you get the opposite effect, everything is overexposed, until the exposure is adjusted.

But I agree, it is not particularly fun or useful having to wait for two seconds before you can see anything again.
Hey Jileha... hmmm, I turn the heat map off as soon it appears, because you can't see a path with it turned on. 😅
I think it's strange that I just have this "thing" when I put down an education screen... the small and the bigger ones.
I don't have this "suddenly dark" thing with anything else. So your explaination makes sense, but it's not that kind of problem. It happens every time... click... and a dark game for a few seconds until it's back the right way. I can't tell if it's a bug... but it's really strange like I said already. 😄
Oh and it feels more like 5-10 seconds, I never counted... but it's long enough to think "hellooooo screen, what's uuuup? I really would love to see something from my zoo!" ... or something like that. 😊

I love the planet zoo it beautiful graphic and sound, but as dig deeper into the game you start more seeing flaws over time with animal behavior, AI, and even texture glitch's with stuff. It's like you bought a new car with it being beautiful on the out but finding your missing the engine and all rust underneath with this be like planet zoo similar feeling.

If they release an early access I think a lot people under all the bugs and glitch's because you know what get into when buy them. However a full release title it feels like you being scammed and lie to after you buy it with all stuff missing and problems. I was just watching YouTube and they were complaining about a lighting bug after save they don't work when you reloaded your save file. I mean stuff like this should not happen in a full release title.
Ive been playing for over 150 hours and im not sure what gamebraking bugs you are talking about? ive had some crashes here and there but everything has been mostly smooth sailing and not dissapointing, but I wasnt really following the hype about the game beforehand either so I didnt have many expectations, but what I can say is it is really everything I wanted zoo tycoon to be as a kid, and theres not much more I want from the game besides minor tweaks. My main issue is the lag but I have an old graphics card so I'm kinda used to it.

Not everyone has the same experience playing this game, even on super computers. I didn't have many bugs after launch but after the first patch, 1.0.3, I was riddled with them and lost a zoo. Now after this patch everything is working great for me again. I have a pretty high-end system. Kinda hard to fathom :)
