Glitch - In tutorial barriers will not change to glass or one way glass.
Since the issue tracker is broken, figure I'll report this here.

In the tutorial where you have to make an exhibit for the Bengal Tigers, the fencing will not switch to the glass option. Even when I tried to go in manually and select the glass option, it refuses to flip over. That's not big deal however, you can complete that quest chain regardless of that.

However, when you get to the quest with the Snow Leopard, it will not let you change the glass to one way glass. I started a new game, went through the tutorial again. You click it, select the right type, which it's the only one allowed, and it reverts back to normal glass. It will not let you continue through the tutorial until it has been changed.

For the Bengal tiger one it took me a while to realize I only had to replace the 1 wall section that was in that stone resting place they have set up, the part highlighted. Maybe that was it?

I can't say for certain if what you're seeing is a bug or not without knowing exactly what part you're on in the tutorial. But, the tutorial is HEAVILY locked down. For example, once you lay the walls down for the Ostrich enclosure, you can't move or modify them. What you are seeing might be working as intended. A lot of the functions that you get in Franchise mode are locked in the Tutorial.

My favorite is not being able to change out food bowls. Then about 4 hours in you notice the default food bowls in the Giant Tortoise pen are actually the wrong food bowls and the things have been starving to death.

I did try one piece at a time, I thought maybe I was trying to do too many at once originally. It did not let me change it one piece at a time either. When I restarted the game, I put the fence down one piece at a time too, with the glass barrier option selected, it defaulted to brick. Nor when I went into option menu, and actually selected the window option to change it, would it change. But it let me color the barriers just fine. I made those purple.

At this point I'm at the very start of the Snow Leopard tutorial, where you need to change the fencing to one way glass. I have tried selecting the pieces single-y and changing them one at a time. It highlights green in the menu and for a moment the piece of barrier flashes to the one way glass, but switches back instantly, the change will not stick.

EDIT: Never mind I'm an idiot, I thought I needed to change the whole enclosure for the glass, it was just one part. It 'changed' when I clicked it the highlighted portion, however the barrier image did not change, it still flashes and reverts, but it did take it as being 'changed' Maybe I need to do a reinstall.

Well, not that it matters now, but when it told me to do that, I changed the 1 glass panel that looks into the cave into concrete or brick or something. I don't remember exactly. But I know I didn't use glass. I wonder if they changed something in a patch.

They may have changed it, because they want you to now change it to one way glass. They go on a whole little talk about how it's expensive but worth it. Thanks for taking the time to answer/help.

I've found several things work if you quit the game and restart (no patching) My keyboard quit working, though maybe I had lost it and used the mouse to move before. Nope. Restart fixed it and can use the w,a,s, etc. keys. The "z" key for turning buildings wasn't working. Though I had lost it again. Quit and it worked so I could place the staffers building.

I also had a problem on the wall. I just auto quit now :LaughingGuest:

Hopefully this new download fixes somethings.

I have the same problem. Does anyone knows how to fix it?

I facepalmed when I saw it after doing everything everyone did. What you need to do is look for the section that has the floating bars over it, like someone said they are the ones that need changing. And the ONLY ones you can change. They are in their cave where people can look ion.
