Food quality seems to be fixed, thank you.
Ok it's fixed for some, but not all animals ?!?
But as it is not mentioned, I like request to get changelogs with more information in general, yes it’s uncommon nowadays…but just cover it behind a path of links...just for me and two or three others ;-)

Thanks for the update. The Drum Enrichment item is now unloack for me.

The final fun fact for the Capuchin is still locked after researching it in full.

Is anyone else getting a bug where guests seem to glitch all over the screen? Makes the game impossible to play with guests

Huh, I was pretty convinced we'd be seeing 1.3.0 announced. 1.2.5 doesn't seem to cover much in terms of what I've seen discussed on the board as a whole.

A collab between Planet Zoo and San Diego Zoo!? I’m in!!

“...Educator at San Diego Zoo Global, who will be discussing how they educate and entertain their guests...” Is there a possibility that Planet Zoo might be getting an educator staff upgrade? Or maybe some entertainment for guests in terms of animal talks/meet an ambassador/interactive stations? That would be amazing!

Some music, education speakers, and sound ambience is currently not working in this update I noticed.

Erm this update is what it says in the OP. Stop trying to derail the thread just because it didn't include supposed fixes you deem a priority, do you ever think that there may be some players who have benefited from the 1.2.5 fixes? Are you saying this shouldn't have been released just because you're having problems?

Yes, they are mute until you change the content back and forth.

I'm not that frustrated as danny420, but i'm getting worried with new bugs due updates. Also I'm missing known issues feedback, at least with the top voted issues in the tracker.

While I understand some people are frustrated, i don't think you should react like that. Your comment is similar, but a much more pleasant tone. So I fully understand inspectorgadget1's comment.

Steamdb is something I check regularly and there's nothing wrong. Looks pretty standard compared to other games. The extra activity when the Corona-vrius started makes sense, most things are starting up again, the weather (in Europe) is very good atm, so less activity is also logic.
Btw, Steamcharts didn't even record the first months correctly.

I consider this a hotfix update. The first 2 were "big" ones. Maybe some bugs are not that easy to fix or planned for the bigger update. Who knows how much time they spent on fixing just those 2. Like the phasing/escaping is extremely annoying if it happens but not game-breaking compared to those 2.
And maybe (!!) some bugs will be solved because they are planning to overhaul certain features ? Seen this happen a lot of times with other games, they don't spend time fixing the bug but change the feature. ( which also brings new bugs :p )

Edit: Tbh, was expecting more fixes after that many weeks :D

no, im expressing my opinion here which i have the right to do so ;) also you can look into forums and steam forums and you will see alot of the major problems have not even been adressed or talked about.

And to the post above me, saying that animals phasing trough walls isnt a gamebreaking issue is just nonsense (dont want to be offensive here but no other word comes to my mind). Its like playing planet coaster and your coasters randomly derail even tough the rails are all connected. Its like the core thing of the game not working correctly. Do you think its fun for me when playing my Zoo and 3-4 hours in suddenly animals start escaping? Not fun at all
