Prehistoric Kingdom - PTB Hotfix (1.6.18)
Welcome, Park Testers!
This PTB release improves guest pathfinding and game stability with various crash fixes for what could be experienced in Update 9.
You should see guests making better use of their walkable space, especially when encountering multiple chokepoints throughout the park. Previously, they would almost exclusively form a single chokepoint. We have ideas on how to further improve guest pathfinding which will be implemented early next year.
Please send feedback and bug reports to our Discord server's appropriate channel.
