Franchise Mode & Main Menu

Animals
- Various improvements have been made to climbing (Sorry flying bears!)

Guests

Rendering
- Fix rendering issues caused by ultra wide displays.
General
- We are aware of an issue where the wrong image is displayed for the Community Challenge (it should be the tigers!). If this is the case, please restart your Steam client as it's a caching issue; do let us know if the issue persists!
As mentioned, this is only the first of our post-launch updates for Planet Zoo. We'll be sure to keep you informed regarding the next ones! Thank you again for your continued support and feedback!
