Update 1.4.2 Out Now! 🦦

[NZFanatic]

Discovered a bit of a problematic bug. My penguins are getting 'stuck' underwater. They're still flapping their wings and bubbles are streaming off their bodies, but they are stationary. The only way I've been able to solve it is to box and unbox them, but since they spend so much time diving this is becoming an issue.

I got a somewhat similar problem with my giant otters sometimes getting stuck to go into the water. Almost like there hung up on the bank while being in the water tho. Suppose this could be on my end with too steep of a bank or not having the required depth of water.

I had that as well, with the otters and the penguins. I suspected problems with the traversable area, but I haven't tested it. It occurs mostly when they go into the water from either a platform or the bank.

I also noticed my otters seem to not swim underwater or use their platform since the update. I will watch closer next time to positively confirm this since I spent the majority of my time finishing up my elephant habitat.

I'm just glad there is no drowning mechanic I had been thinking about this since launch back in 2019 - when hippos were sometimes getting "stuck" underwater.

Hi folks! Thanks for sharing these, the water is great but probably not ideal if they are staying there indefinitely! If you share this on the issue tracker then the team can look into it and see what's happening

As per another thread and I've raised this on issue tracker and there are lots of others but all seem to have expired. Donation boxes not working in Sandbox Mode now. None of my guests will put a penny in any of them. Clearly a bug. It works ok in Challenge mode but not Sandbox

 

[Neviren]

Donation boxes are also not working in my Sandbox zoos. I've added my contribution to the issue tracker, but unless others do, it will also just expire.

Is it already known when we can expect the next Update? I've started to play Planet Zoo again after finishing another Game and it's just too annoying because after some Time it freezes all the Time while I'm building something
