As is typical after a big release, there is always a need for a large number of small fixes and changes based on your gameplay
We owe you 3 patch notes,
Saturday (1.0.21)
Monday (1.0.28)
And today, Tuesday (1.0.31)
We normally try to get the patch notes out as close to the update release, but it's been quite busy, so we had to focus more on the updates than the patch notes.
We also should start slowing down the number of these, but these involved some major game improvements or fixes that we deemed urgent.
There is still one issue we have seen happening a couple of times to some of you. It involves, after an update in some rare occasions, your install gets 1 file corrupted, not to the point of the game not launching, but enough to do stupid things like you open your park and it looks empty.
Luckily, it seems to be an easy and quick fix for you (players)
It involves doing a Steam file verification
https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB
This rechecks all your game files and finds the one that got corrupted during the download and fixes it
We are currently working with Steam to figure out what is causing this.
Ok time for the full patch list of everything done in the last 3 patches
