Oh finally the menu Esc issue is fixed. But you didnt say anything about the lifetime profit on our rides when we load our parks, its a very important bug for us who play challenge mode, and if we are going to play even harder mode thats a must be fix.

oOoooh. Here's hoping this massively affects demographics if I don't put in rides for kids.

Curious what the harder challenge mode is. I hope it's harder mechanics, not just harder challenges. The issues people have with challenge mode are that the game as a whole is too easy, not that the challenges are to easy :)

THANK YOU FOR NOTING THE BUG FIXES! Excited to see the new blueprints!!

Thanks for the update! I hope in the future you'll fix that you have to re-apply filters to scenery each time the window is closed. Get's really annoying.

I DID SOME QUICK TESTING!

And I am very, very, very, very, VERY excited to confirm that Harder challenge mode ACTUALLY MAKES CORE GAMEPLAY MECHANICS MORE DIFFICULT. How it holds up over longer periods of play is yet to be seen, and I didn't get any data on breakdowns, but guest generation is lower, staff happiness is lower, guest money management is tighter, loans are more complex, ride variety at the start is abysmal (whihc is good!), research is an absolute necessity, and you actually have to take care of things!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

It took me 3 months to get 100 guests, whereas in the other modes it takes less than 3 weeks to get THREE HUNDRED!!!
