welcome to the club, you might follow these steps as well. The group of ppl stuck with unloadable saves is growing each day.

My franchise saves will not load
Question. Is this happening just in one specific mode or to all?
I'm finding the biggest issues with the game i recently have occurred if I pause the time and do construction or make a habitat or sort out my animals I have noticed the game mechanics have a huge lag spike my guest run on air and then everything starts. But my finances go berserk and for that year I obtain huge deficits and all my costs spiral till a new year then everything resets. Yesterday after I un-paused the game all my guest were teleported to the main entrance like the zoo reset itself and couldn't figure out the new path I laid down.
Food costs are acting strange every year it deducts a huge chunk at the start of the year and then deducts as my animals are fed.
No disrespect to frontier but I feel like every time you update the game if your zoo is from a different patch the new code messes up how the zoo functions hence all the complaints of issues. I put close to 250 hours into this zoo I don't want to start over every time a new patch voids how the previous correct way to build a zoo changes. Its a game I play for pleasure and recently franchise feels like chore and I'm really struggling to enjoy playing. The issue tracker I fill in anytime I experience an issue but that doesn't mean I wont have the issue until more people either experience it.

Thank you, Eewrie, for writing that down. I'm having the exact same problems, but people keep saying that I should cut the costs (by 'culling' my animals') in one way or another. NO. Before the patch my zoo was doing great. Guests were happy, my food didn't cost more than I made as a profit, animals weren't being boxed randomly, guests weren't leaving because they're 'unhappy with visit', etc. I also have the same bug when pausing the game and then unpausing it; it takes a while for my zoo to 'start up' again (sometimes it just crashes) and when it does, I have significantly less guests. The same happens when I place or adjust a path: suddenly I go from 7K guests to 400!
And about the issue tracker: It would be nice to see a status change instead of just 'confirming' all the time. That doesn't tell me ANYTHING. Are you working on it? Is it a known issue? If it's a known issue, why isn't it officially listed as such? Could you give us ANY kind of feedback on what you're working on or even aware of? And how about people who've been playing (and as such essentially beta-testing) the game get some kind of reward for doing so? Maybe a small refund, or a discount on a future DLC (or maybe one for free)? As it stands we've all been playing a buggy, half-finished game that should never have been released this soon. Why not wait another six months and polish the hell out of it first? Or why not, oh, I don't know, HAVE A LONGER BETA TEST PERIOD?
Right now I haven't played in two days, because my franchise zoos, BOTH of them, are mucked up. I can't load them. Can't play. And I really don't feel like starting all over again after all those hours put into both of them. I'm seriously considering getting Steam to refund my game, because right now I can't play it. It's as simple as that.

Yes yes, I've made quite an extensive wishlist for the tracker a few post back....
Hi all. Just a general reminder to those visiting this thread is that issues encountered should always be reported on the Issue Tracker not on the forums. Always be sure to check the Issue Tracker to see if anyone else has had a similar issue so you can contribute to that issue and help our developers narrow down the investigation
I recently reported an issue with ambiance speakers, which was added to the previous issue in the tracker. That issue is now "expired", my addition to it is gone, and the issue has not been addressed. I have resubmitted the issue. What should we do in those instances? Continually re-report? I can do that for sure, but am certainly frustrated at the lack of respect for my time.
I fully agree there should be an automatic way to submit bugs/issues. It would also be incredibly helpful if Frontier responded to said issues so we knew they were being addressed.
