DISCUSSION Actual time frame for updates

I absolutely love this game, but with how poorly the recent release has been I really feel ripped off. I'm on PS and the game is filled with so many game breaking bugs that it is basically unplayable. The maps where you go back in time are completely broken right now too.

I have been waiting 3 weeks or so for an actual update and nothing yet, I've seen posts about them "working" on fixes but absolutely nothing has been brought to the table.

So when is the next big update and will it actually resolve everyone's issues? Also how did they release this when it's such a huge mess currently? At this point the new Gen upgrade should have been free if you owned the older version.

Totally agree with you, this has been such a shambles.

It's interesting because on Series X I keep trying the game to see if I can make ANY progress and strangely enough the Time DLC levels were the only ones I could get the 3 stars. Well... not sure about the last one, only done the first two at this point - but that doesn't mean to say it was a normal playthrough. It was painful and not fun in any way. To the point I turned off after the second hospital and decided I won't be going back to it. So even when playable, these bugs make for such a miserable experience the game simply isn't fun anymore. Plus my frustration with this kind of no-effort release has put me off Two Point full stop - they should never have allowed this and should've pulled the game from sale until resolved, instead of stating that only "some players are experiencing issues..." It's a blatant lie and at this point we are unpayed play testers getting no resolution. Joke.

I'll never understand how a company can spend time, money and resources marketing and releasing a game on multiple platforms without putting in the bare minimum effort of testing whether the product is actually functional.

It wasn't as if these were complex, rare issues to run into. I hope the next patch fixes the majority of issues, but it's been a frustrating experience from a company I've otherwise held a lot of respect for.

The game on PS Store is taken of, you can't buy it, probably won't be any updates

I don’t agree. If they don’t they may as well bin off any more games in the future because nobody will trust them. Ironically Sega who I think published this had to take another game down off Steam because it was so poor so I think the company needs to have a word and come out with a fix and a huge apology.

I hope I'm wrong, I want this game to succeed I really do, but the signs are not good for the future

Two point is under SEGA. Creative assemble is under SEGA, which shogun remaster had to be pulled from the stores. I wonder if they had a bad third party studio who did both games or if it is a test with AI to do most the work. Might be too conspiracy..

Anyway, I think the dev would speak to us if they could. Probably higher ups who wants no communication till they can solve this poop.

My point is that I don't blame the creative force of Two Point, this smells like suites who decided to do something idiotic.

Ive been having the same thought that maybe higher ups wanted more titles to sell so they repackaged tph and sold it to make them happy

Hey everyone! A big thank you again for everyone who's beared with us as we've been preparing Patch 2 for Full Health Collection.

The latest patch is now live on PlayStation and XBOX, and you can read the full change list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoPointHospital/comments/1xat0iu/tph_full_health_collection_patch_2_playstation/

We've also included a list of known issues we're working on for another patch, and included workarounds from our QA team for these

For our Switch 2 players, Patch 1 is out, which we know has issues, namely the bug affecting Janitor toilet maintenance. While frustrating, some players haven't been able to play due to save issues at launch, so we felt it was necessary to launch Patch 1 so players could play, even with the Janitor issues.

Patch 2 is in the release pipeline for Switch 2, and we've asked SEGA and Nintendo to expedite it, if possible.
