[BETA] Version 2.0 - (BETA UPDATE 11th APRIL 2.0.180311)

[jwwo0o0]

Hi Everyone,

*******************************************************

Update 15th April:

I just wanted to update here to say that we are working on fixing the behaviour bugs that you're seeing in version 2. These bugs were introduced by some optimisations that happened! Unfortunately they are fairly complex and we really want to get it right - we are aiming to update the beta again next week :)

Thank you for your patience, and we're sorry this is taking so long!

*******************************************************

We're preparing for our first big (ish) update and we are now ready to put this build on to our beta branch. There are some bugs that we are still fixing and testing is on-going, but we wanted to give players the opportunity to try it out ahead of the full release.

To access the beta branch follow the steps below:
1. Right-click Two Point Museum in your game library and select Properties (if you have Steam running, you may need to log out and in again)
2. Select the BETAS tab.
3. Choose public_beta from the drop-down menu.
4. The build will start downloading (The build number is 2.0.179249)

Please note that saves created on the beta branch will not work on the current live build. We recommend you take a backup of your save files if you might want to switch back to the live build. As soon as we push this fix out to the live build, you will be able to come of the patch beta branch :)
There are instructions on how to back up saves in here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2185060/discussions/1/594016102539903117/

Please let us know any feedback or problems that you come across :)

Thanks you so much,
Jo

Everything Else:

• Upgraded Unity Engine
  
• Exhibit Analysis has been rebalanced so that it now rewards XP based on the quality and not the time-taken. It will also reward an XP boost at the end of the analysis. This change is intended to boost Analysis traits and qualifications, as they were previously reducing the amount of XP staff could gain from analysis.

• Updated objective in Coastal level Act 3 to be a cumulative goal "Guests (25) with 750 Buzz"

Just to add to everyone else's reports that I also have not received the hanging info stands, despite being Curator Class VII.

I still have visitors standing still, just staring nothing, in memento mile's entrance.

Hi, sorry about this issue, would it be possible for you to email us your save folder to [e-mail]

I'd like to take a look and see if I can figure out what's happening with those visitors.

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

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

Many thanks,

Piotr

Thank you so much for the feedback - would it be possible to send your saves to [e-mail] ? (Or the whole Two Point Museum folder)

….it might also be useful to send screenshots of videos as well if possible, we think these bugs are quite dependent on situation!

This isn't a backlog of people simply queuing for the vending machine, the front guest is stuck causing the backlog. Once i soaked them in water, they actually did get a drink ironically and the group left, queue cleared up within 10 seconds.

Hello :) Do you have a date for the official update ? I want to create a new game with the new contents :) Thanks !

I've got a school stuck, too. They got stuck in the cafeteria, and when I moved the tables, expanded the room, and then moved it away and back, they got booted out of the room, but they stand around it without moving, and the mission is stuck at 17% and gives no new destination.

I also get docked on inspections for "litter" that doesn't exist (because I followed him around to make sure) and after 5 inspections for "enough bins" I add another bin (and no new rooms/food things) and then I get docked points for "not enough bins."

After an hour or two in version 2, I've noticed that guests are more likely to be stuck at something but also that staff seem more likely to interact with the chest from Explorer's Edition. Was an intended change made with the chest in this build?

Hello! Sorry that you came across this bug. I'd love to investigate this further but for that I will require your save where the issue was happening. Would you be able to email us your save folder at [e-mail]

Same bug, people waiting in front of vending machines, until i remove them manually...

I'm in the desert area and when my security catch a criminal at the main door, they pepper spray them, and "follow" them only for the thief to disappear from the doorway and appear at the far corner outside a separate building, far from anything else. They'll "perp walk" for a bit before the game realizes there's no guard near them and they take off running. Even when I place a different guard by the criminal outside the second building, they'll shake their fist, run for a second, "prep walk" the criminal, and then repeat... until they just stop walking the criminal, at which point the criminal runs away and I get a "got away" notice.

This has happened every time the criminal gets caught by the door. They haven't taken anything (yet) but if they were to take my pristine stuff and then just vanish never to be caught, I'd be a bit upset. I might even say "dang."

We're hoping to release this update to live build within the next week :)

Hi everyone - I just wanted to update that there has been an update! We've hopefully improved behaviour - please let us know any feedback that you have!

[KhaytovHit]

Why not make it possible to reassign staff to work in a certain zone in one of his own tabs?
It's obvious. Instead, I need to go to the zone menu, select a tab with a certain class of staff, scroll through a long list, click on a certain employee and then reassign him. The way assignment to marked zones is done now, it is extremely inconvenient, slow, and very annoying during a long game session.

Please improve performance.
