Issues I've only seen since latest update and patch ( Regular Crashing and Female Dingo Deaths )

Almost regular crashes now - bearing in mind I don't think I've crashed much if at all since beta.

Adult Female Dingos dying of starvation. Just adult females. Young dingos and male adults are totally fine.
It's a huge habitat to cater for a large group of dingos. But unfortunately the females die too quickly meaning I only ever have 1 pair and their children rofl.
I have viewing domes littered all over to give the visitors a better view of the inside of the habitat but wondering if now that is affecting things.
There are 3 keepers keeping these animals feed and cared for but since putting the domes in after the patch .. but still they starve to death.
Has anyone else noticed this specific issue.
 
This isn't since the last update, I'm afraid. I noticed this first a pretty long time ago, can't tell when exactly, but I thought my zoo is bugged. Haven't played in that zoo since then. But now, as I have a Dingo habitat in my newest zoo, I see them freezing in one particular spot and then they stay there until they're starved to death. I deleted all foliage pieces and rocks from that area, but it didn't help. They completely freeze and then starve. I lost three Dingos because of that. The last one I could save by boxing it and unboxing it in another area of the habitat.
 
Interesting. The Dingos were transferred to this zoo from my other one after building the new habitat with the domes. In the other zoo I had no problems at all.. Hence why I thought it was the patch. I've had the Dingos for several months with no issues in the other zoo. But, each one of them is dying in the exact same spot, just in the doorway from the habitat. Maybe I'll move the doorway around and see if that highlights the door as the issue or the ground it gets stuck on. But strange that it is only adult females ( at least 5 out of 5 so far in the last 3 days of playing ).
 
It's only the female Dingos in my zoo, too. And I have the issue in both zoos with Dingos... In the other one, it happens in their shelter. Strange...
 
I've had regular crashing since the update this week too, my games very rarely crashed before but it's doing it so much now I just give up trying to play
 
I've also had constant crashes, where they have never been an issue before. I've been playing the same franchise zoo for over 500 in-game years, so I think it's something that changed in the last update.
 
Sadly, I experienced the same problem with one of my female dingos. At the moment, I think I will put all my dingos in the trade center for safety. I can't let the rest of them die of starvation in my park. :oops::cry:
I will only see my dingos again after this bug is fixed.
 
I've updated my bug report again (https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/61899) - it's still showing as 'confirming' and uploaded 3 saved game files which will hopefully help them see what might be happening. I was running through my zoos to check for releasable Eurasian animals and was aiming to continue building up my DEF zoo which is nowhere near complete... and yep, another 2 female dingos died .. in fact my last 2. I only have males now.

I did check the latest dingo to make sure it was not stuck but she was fine, running out of the sleeping area near the gate entrance as if she didn't have a care in the world .. next thing I saw pop up while I was working on the other side of the zoo - she's died of starvation ( she was maxed on food when I looked last ) - and laying in the death spot in the sleeping area by the gate entrance.

I don't have enough money to relocate them to another habitat in the same zoo in case it is a location thing... so .. I guess I am starting that zoo over .. again.

Comparing notes on habitat layout - in case it's a factor. My habitat this time was large, very hilly with plenty of viewing domes. Although outside of the domes the habitat is my normal design. So, will try not to use the domes this time and just set up the zone to have a safari route through it.
 
So this glitch with dingo females starving to death without warning is driving me a bit bananas lately, it happens way too often recently for me.
Has there been any word on if they are even looking into this problem? I see that the report on the issue tracker expired...
 
I just had a dingo female die in front of my very eyes. I had checked her just a minute before, she was fine. Not hungry or thirsty or even stuck somewhere. A minute later she was breeding with her mate - so I popped over there to check on them - and the second they were done she just keeled over dead and was transported to the habitat gate (as they always seem to do when dying from this glitch) and I got the notification that an animal had died.
I do love the dingoes but it's getting more and more frustrating to even try to play with them...

I play only franchise so I'm also wondering if this is going on in other playmodes? Or is it just a franchise thing? Anyone who knows?
