Where can you find all the patch notes and update details for Planet Coaster 2? The Planet Coaster 2 Hotfix 2 brings a smattering of tweaks designed to make your park guests behave themselves.
Hotfix 2 will be released today, and it will change mostly the behaviour patterns of the guests that visit your parks, by making them less likely to change their minds when en route to use a flume, and full pools will become less desirable, and much more. Frontier Developments is working on a much bigger patch for December, which we will detail below.
You can see a full list of changes below:
