We hope you’re all enjoying Two Point Campus! It’s been so amazing these last few weeks seeing everyone playing our game.

We’re sorry some of you have come across bugs, and we are very keen to fix them as soon as we can.

We are getting ready to release our first patch (1.4) and have now put this patch on to our beta branch ahead of a full release.

2. Select the BETAS tab.

There is also a bug in the "Breaking Point" map. The overview map shows a plot of land that isn't buyable.
First I thought it is part of the story there, and you are required to buy it at some point - being a noisy construction site - but even after I got all 3 stars it is still not available for purchase. Not a big deal though.

That's a nice list :)

Would it be possible to get a list of other/current issues that are known to the devs and are being worked on or investigated as well?

Thanks!

Hey SilverHood, we think this may be fixed in this version of the game that's on Beta. Let me know if you continue to have this issue!

Hey bdog, Sorry you've had that problem - I've not heard anyone else mention it but we will investigate it at the studio and get back to you with what we find :) Thanks for letting us know!

Hi BeeMarie_Plays. Sorry you're having trouble - this issue is usually caused by Anti-Virus incorrectly quarantining game files.

Fixing this depends on your specific antivirus software, but in general, you'll need to:

- Check if it has quarantined any of the game files (most likely a file called GameAssembly.dll) and un-quarantine it, if your software offers that option
- If that doesn't work, add an exception for the game folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Two Point Campus"), then verify integrity of game files to get Steam to download the file again
- If that doesn't work, temporarily disable your antivirus, and verify integrity of game files again

If your antivirus software offers this option, tell it that the file it quarantined is actually safe - this will help it learn for future updates and for other users

Let me know how you get on,

Thanks,
Jo

Hi fiammi02, Sorry about that - sounds like your level may have got in to a bad state! How many characters are you seeing with the "?" and how big is the level? (how may students)

Would you mind sending us your Two Point Campus folder to [e-mail] so that we can take a look? We should be able to figure out why it's crashing from the logs.

If you are using windows, you can find it here; C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Two Point Studios\ (type %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Two Point Studios\ in to file explorer)

If you zip it up and attach to the email with a link to this thread, we should have everything we need.

Thanks,
Jo

There are 155 students and there are at least 7 students constantly with the ? . Even when the room and hall is empty, they can't walk. I expel them from campus and after a while other students start with the same problem
