- Back to: Two Point Hospital.
Steam: 1.16
Hello everyone!
It’s been almost a year since Two Point Hospital released and we’ve been blown away with our community support. So, you guessed it, we’re nowhere near done with updating it yet!
With Gamescom just around the corner, we thought now would be an opportune time to share update 1.16 with you.
We’ve got loads of exciting plans for Two Point Hospital (a very busy roadmap of great stuff, in fact!) and we can’t wait to share more with you very soon.
Make sure you stay turned to our social channels for more on that.
Until then, however, we have a cool update for you here which brings some nice tweaks to the staff menu UI. We’re also enabling text search in the items list to make it easier to find items you own, and ones you’ve downloaded from Workshop.
There are a few other minor fixes, too.
Full list here:
Update to the staff menu UI
Allow text search in the items menu to make it easier to find items
Bug fixes for 1.15
Fix timezone-related crash on startup, which affected some machines with Eastern locales (e.g. Korean, Chinese)
Fix random crash on some machines caused by use of a previously-experimental graphics multithreading setting
Fix other very rare instances of crashes in Unity engine
Reduce framerate spikes when creating new characters and parts of GUI during gameplay
As always, thanks for all your support :)

Our latest update "Interior Designer" is now live! This is our first release that uses Steam Workshop functionality. You can now create your own decorative paintings, pictures, canvases, rugs, walls and floors to customise your hospital however you want. You can then publish these to Workshop to share with the world! We have also added the ability to publish your Sandbox levels. We are really excited to see all your creations :)
We have made a Wiki with some documentation and our guess at some FAQ - we will continue to update this based on your feedback. Here's the link: https://wiki.twopointstudios.com/Main_Page
Change Log:
Ability to customise walls and floors within the game, and share via Workshop.
Ability to create pictures and rugs, and share via Workshop.

So please us know of any feedback that you have :) You can now also choose if rooms are for diagnosis or treatment, and a few other bits and bobs (see below for details!)

Update v1.06 LIVE NOW (bug fixes, customisation and more)
Hi everyone,
The new update is available! It has some AI and stability fixes as well as a few nice little extras, including character customisation :)
Here is a list of what is in this patch;
Character customisation - you can now change the colour of outfits for nurses, assistants, janitors and doctors. To do this select a character and click on the clothes hanger icon on their UI.
Ability to change the name of all staff, patients and rooms. To do this select a character or room and click on its name to edit.
Ability to set priority for adviser pop up messages in the settings screen. You can also turn the adviser off.
You can now drag and drop patients from the room queue list to other rooms of the same type.
AI: Patient and staff needs, queues and janitor improvements. We are still working on this.
Patient and staff needs increase at a slightly slower rate
Use interaction start position when calculating queue distances as character position may be off the nav mesh.
Reduced urgent need search distance for boredom, litter and food/drink. Reduction based on queue position
Fixed fire extinguishers not being initialised correctly and Janitors behaving a bit strange with fires in corridors.
Fixed Janitors not properly completing fire jobs.
Interaction scoring is now additive, based on distance plus penalties for queue length, and interaction already in use or reserved. Should help with things like: picking a changing booth in the ward, etc.
Toilet Behavior: Don't bother drying hands if no hand dryers are free
Fixed a few potential time issues that could cause characters to 'hang around' longer than they should.
Various fixes to improve patient needs and behaviors
Fix for Janitors continuing to look for extinguishers after the machine has exploded.
Characters leave the hospital as soon as they're ready to depart instead of when they've completed their departure sequence i.e. using a subway.
Queue Bumping: Use path distance rather than straight-line distance for queue-bumping decisions.
Patients sit on bench for longer before looking for a nicer place to sit
Saved training sessions are correctly cancelled so Guest Trainers are sent out of the hospital.
Further fixes to training and guest trainers
Fixed some money exploits
Optimisations
Retina support is enabled but resolution is limited to 1800 vertical res (due to performance issues). There is also a command line option to disable the limit --disable-mac-resolution-limit
If you hold down Ctrl+Shift+U the HUD will be disabled. This is an experimental feature for screenshots or video capture. The game will pause if an event happens and you will need to re enable the HUD to continue.
Fixed bug where player was charged for automatically added hospital windows when editing a room
Fixed a bug with moving rooms
If you have any problems or questions then comment in the thread below and we will get back to you!
Thanks,
Jo
