I cannot access my franchise.. says "There has been an error communicating with the franchise server, you will be returned to the front end menu" Help!

problem is, my trade centre is soooo laggy, by the time I have checked out the genetics, the animal has sold, sometimes it takes a full 30secs for an anmal to open once clicking on it, then another 30 secs of trying to click on the buy button. Im on superfast so not my connection.

EVERYONE CRYING ABOUT THE ANIMAL ADOPTIONS SORT BY MONEY ONLY AND CHECK EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES THE ANIMALS CHANGE CONSTANTLY

hey all, has anyone started playing with genetics yet? A great feature! @Katloaves, you need to create a Frontier account to log in, trying to connect with Steam doesnt work.

Yeah the bug site is buggy through steam. They're working on it, that's why I mentioned making a brand new account with frontier on the bug site. but even that's buggy that you have to leave the site once you make an account and then go back to it, then it'll let you log in with your new frontier account

I can't log on to frontier reporting site :(

No one from frontier is looking at the Steam comments. If you make a frontier account at the bug site, then leave the site and come back it'll let you log in. I did this Tuesday and has worked ever since. I'd log it for you, but they need to know you specs for your computer to figure out if it's just you, or something you have that others have that have the same problem. Just as an example all people with Windows 10 can't log into the market. Stuff like that.

I'll post it here because i cant log in to report an issue.. I have a bug where i had i think around 50k and then suddenly it jumped to - over billion dollars. I am in debt and i cant do anything, also idk how to fix this. Looking at my income and outcome i do 165k plus so idk what happened...

I solved my financial issues with donation boxes (which i forgot like the idiot I am) but adopting animals is still an issue. The breeding fails because I cant get males and females of one species, and almost all cost CC point and are too expansive, and I also often get server connection errors when trying to purchase. My trade center in general is lacking like hell, even when i just want to move them in the zoo, and I am not sure why. My internet is generally fine. Well, I will just raise my 32 gavrials and try to provide them for others, maybe then I can actually afford something. thank you for your advice, though.

@skeranda, don't forget you can up the entry price of the zoo, put mine from 3 to 5 and started to go into profit immediately x

@skeranda I haven't had any issues. I've made 2 Zoo's, both of which I've bought animals and breeder them. Maybe watch some tutorials on YouTube to get ideas what to do

I can barely adopt any animals and breeding them is almost impossible. Also I have for some reason 32(!) 0.0 year old gavriels in my trade canter and am unable to get my one zoo out of debt as I dont have the money to improve it. Any new zoos fail at the animal adoption part, as it says "You cant afford this animal" althoug I have the money. I'll think I'll wait far an update or the full release.

Deimos, thankyou I found it!

Still not able to load career mode after the update

That sounds like a bug. In one alpha play they lost a hippo, think it was, because when the vet either went to box it or unbox it the crate got stuck in jumbo mode through the ceiling of the vet center. The Vet wouldn't move, her couldn't move his hippo and no one else could use that clinic

I had a glitch where some of my animals started to ignore the barriers and just escaped one after another so i had to catch them. After a while it stopped happening but i got another problem. The last escaped animal my doctor catched is sitting in the box and the doctor is standing next to it not moving, so they are both glitched i guess. I have people protesting in my zoo because of it and the animal is inside there for 3 years now..idk what to do. Restarting didnt help.

@Ritz you can filter the trade center by species. Should be a vertical ellipsis when you highlight the button to sort by species. Click it and you can pick what you're shown.

Anyone having trouble with the trade centre? is there a search i am missing? trying to find a male zebra, but scrolling through so far 8 pages of wolves one way and the same of African dogs the other. There must be an easier way!

That makes sense. I only knew about the well-being. I tried to release some yesterday and it wouldn't let me cuz I didn't realize they were cranky from being crowded by babies😅 had to make them happy before it let me let them loose in the wild. Thanks for the tip skeranda

So in case anyone had the same problem: I figured out that animals can only be released as adults, not babys or elders. i was trying to get rid of some offspring and that was the issue.

Skeranda, I think you ralease them into the wild when they're happy enough to earn the special monies. They're conservation points earned by helping the wild
Bloodmoon, could be bug, or another commenter said making sure they can rest and get promotions help keep them more active. Just like us😀
RealdealAres, we didn't pay $55 for a game you can't pay. The extra $10 (roughly) was to get extra animals and a chance to play beta to help make sure the game works right on the 5th of Nov. The only reason why we got a patch today was from all the dilligent work everyone did reporting their bugs properly. Good job everyone😁😁😁

hopfully it will fix some shit

finnaly a beta fix

Keepers being idled when I called them to habitats

Hello maybe someone can help me, I am for the life of me unable to figure out how to sell animals or trade them for the special currency.

fix the game, i know its a beta but really? people dont pay 55 dollors for a game that can,t be played

Spent ages last night so frustrated as to why my keepers wouldn't take animals out of the trade post and put in their exhibit. Thanks Wolfie....Electricity DUHHH.

what a great game 1 of the best

@deeface92 Of all the issues the beta has that is one of the least and piss poor arguments i've ever heard. The game looks great and easily on par with Planet Coaster or heck even past it since its newer. Main issue it pertained performance graphic wise that Coasters beta had in common is optimization issues.

Hey i finished the first scenario and i cant start a new also the nex after the Goodwin house in need help

hey guys have a question , for the moment in the carer mode there is only Goodwin House . I finish it with the 3 stars but i can 't go to the next step . is this normal ? :)

*** This is Beta. Beta means bugs. The game is not finished. We are here to help each other find problems and report them to the reporting site so Frontier can address them and get them fixed before release. If we're lucky they can get them fixed before Beta ends. Please be patient and don't give up. If you need to find out where to go to report a problem there is a conversation named Issue Reporting Link that has the link posted for you.
*** Remember to have fun!!! ^_^

*It is a known issue that Steam won't log you in to report bugs. Make a Frontier account and that will let you report bugs.
*Zoo keepers need keeper huts that have power via power stations to feed animals. Keep huts close to animals and have enough keepers. Roughly 15 keepers should do it.
*And yes, there has been an issue with the graphics not loading because it is beta. Don't stop playing, report it so it can be addressed for final release. Ignoring problems and bugs won't fix them. Beta is testing to find these problems so they can be fixed. My gameplay is as beautiful as the trailers, most of the time.
* Lots of people have been having trouble with Career mode if they can get into Franchise or they can't get into Franchise if they can get into Career. Report it if you having this problem.
* Loads of people can't get animals to populate into their markets. Please report so it can be addressed.

I'm new to steam, and purchased the deluxe edition, but cant play, help! How do I begin the game?

How do you start career mode? There's no "start" or "play" button on it, it says Goodwin House but can't seem to start it :|

Career mode does not work for me at all, keeps crashing when i go to load it

The caretakers do not feed the animals and they starve!

So, I never started playing because the graphics looked horrible. Is this common in betas? I have planet coaster and the graphics looks awesome so I guess I was expecting the same with planet zoo.

having several issues but cannot report them! trying t log into Frontier with my steam account, but never logs me in and i just keep going round in circles! :-(

Does anyone know a way to fix the keepers not feeding the animals?

Can't adopt animals in franchise mode, but scenario is a lot of fun!

Franchise has never run right for me (opens now but still can't adopt animals). Is this from so many people accessing it at once? Not sure how it works lol. Still having fun mucking around in the scenario mode though.

only one mission?............

Anybody still having trouble with adopting animals?

drake thats just your download speed thn

I started downloading at 10am and I'm still not done downloading can someone help me out

Anyone having issues replacing the glass with one way glass in the scenario?

Im having real bad trouble with my keepers not feeding the animals at all. I call them to the feeders and they inspect the enclosure but then just walk out and do nothing??

Unable to buy animals and now can no longer connect to franchise. Was able to play a few hours before franchise stopped working. As I couldn't buy animals, I tried a reset, but that just stopped access to franchise mode and now I can no longer play my zoo...

does anyone else have problem with adopting animal ? its say unable to complete the adoption
