My animals just disappeared

[Fire]

This is one of the weirdest buggs i've seen in this game but like... I was entering in my franchise when I suddently noticed that half of my animals were gone, and they were't gonne but went to the storage, they were just gone, like they never existed. Has this thing happend to anyone??

Are you certain you opened the correct zoo? Not an auto save?
If in sandbox, Are you certain you saved before exiting the game?

more then 3500 hours of playin franchise and never experienced such bug... it seem like a absolute nonsense... franchise is able save even newborn animals during crash before autosave/manual save etc.

Yeah so it's definitely not nonsense. Just had the same thing happen.

Did the sort of uncommon thing of loading back into the main menu from a franchise zoo, and back, and got 47 education board error notifications. Couple seconds later a notification that vet research had halted because there was no such species present.

Looks like multiple species were just randomly gone. I immediately killed the game through task manager, and loaded back up. Looks like everything's back and there's no lasting damage.

Happened to me yesterday... Erase the new saves files when exiting your franchises, keep the old ones, and leave the game. I had to do it multiple times for them to come back. Even exiting Steam just in case.

I had to buy all of the animals again because even after restarting the game am my PC, they still weren't anywhere and then when I logged in today I went to my storage and all of the missing animals where there... i wasted around 4000 credits for nothing :(... but anyway tks for the sugestions everyone!
