Today's patch is a multiplayer clean-up pass. Most of it hits the moments where you join someone else's mall and things quietly stopped working for you and not for the host.
Fixes
Invisible employees - This one is still hurting some players so we are sorry about that, it's really a rare case and rejoining solves the problem but we've applied some other precautiions.
Dead controls on screens - if the store monitor, day kiosk or board TV fails to open, you are no longer stuck with a screen you cannot leave. Press Escape to close it and keep playing.
Store monitor video - videos no longer skip every few seconds or sit on "Video unavailable" until you rejoin. A failed video now retries, then falls back to Mall TV on its own.
Talk menu closing itself - talking to people in someone else's mall no longer opens the dialogue and then closes it a moment later.
Changes
You now get told why you were jailed - a message names the offence when a mall cop takes you in, including the repeat offender case that skips the arrest dialogue entirely. Pickpocketing and breaking into a store now have their own names instead of a generic one.
