    Save Game Files from Previous Versions
    We encourage you to start a new game with this patch, however many recent saved games will work fine. Depending on the age of your saved game, you may experience issues attempting to play on this latest patch however. We make every effort to ensure that patches are backwards compatible with older saved game files, but it is not always realistically possible. When reporting bugs please try beginning a new game to ensure that the issue isn’t related to an old save game file.

    Specific Known Issues in this Update

    • Multiple kitchens / cafes: Staff priorities are not properly tuned yet which may result in staff running back and forth between cafes/kitchens in generally undesired ways.
    • Performance: We are aware that performance is a problem for many players right now and we will be focusing on it much more directly in the coming updates. Performance is critical to gameplay in SimAirport and we take it very seriously; you can expect to see substantial improvements in the near future.
