Doctors stopped operations

[simon.liviot]

On two occasions on different saves, after several hours in game but still in chapter 1 (circa 12-15 June) my doctors stopped operating despite being fully rested and having several patients scheduled for surgery... I tried to change the order of patients, assigned and re assigned nurses to the ward, but to no avail. The wounded still keep piling from the front though, engineers and med teams keep doing their jobs and become exhausted, but the surgeons and trauma specialists seem stuck into the barracks.

Sounds like you didnt have enough resources for the operations

You may have dead patients clogging the operation slots, and if there is no med team on the cemetary duty noone is putting those away.

The same happen ed with me. I have a team in cemetery and 2 surgeons well rested and 48 bandages...seems like some bug because if i look at the patients it says "operated" for all of them when they're still in the queue.

the game just uses "bad english". They don't mean "Operated".. .they actually mean "Operating". because the patients are still being worked on in the operating room.

What metal said if you have dead in the hospital the surgeons can't operate solution is more cemetery teams or the morgue improvement.

1 of the surgeons is doing the operations while the other one is totally bugged and is just idle. When I add patients to him, nothing happens, but works with the other surgeon.

You can zoom into the Operation Ward using a "Zoom" button on the building panel. You will see then if there is a dead body on one of the tables.
You can use A & D to go between different views when looking into the building. Q & E rotate view, like outside, but it has some limits to prevent clipping with walls.

You can try researching morgue so that the dead bodies don't take up a slot. If that doesn't work, could be a bug.

I found some help here https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/war-hospital-doctors-stopped-operating-fix/z8675f
I changed the cemetery staff's shifts to 24h and they started working again. Now I'm building the morgue. Hope this won't happen again.

Thank you all for taking part in the discussion, it is a great help for us working on fixes and patches.
The issue with the medics stopping to work while assigned shifts has already been fixed. It's coming in the nearest hotfix.

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments. I concurr with u649 it felt very much like a bug because all the surgeons and my trauma were set on idl in the ward. I also already had picked up the morgue, perhaps this is what caused an issue if you were supposed to research it through a story event ?

[simon.liviot]

And thank you studio team for keeping an eye out and be responsive with the hotfixes. Do you know when this one willl be out (or is it already) ?

[BraveLambStudio]

It is currently being tested, we hope to get it live in a few hours but of course it depends on the results of the testing session.
