Two Point Hospital was launched almost exactly a year ago to raving reviews, and it even ended up being one of our favourite games of the year, but with a number of content updates behind it, we were all but sure that the developers, Two Point Studios, were ready to move on.
To that, devs say that they are “nowhere near done with updating it yet!” Just now, they have released Update 1.16 to tide us over until a meatier Gamescom announcement is made.
“We’ve got loads of exciting plans for Two Point Hospital,” said the developers in their latest blog post. “We can’t wait to share more with you very soon.” Two Point Studios also mentioned “a very busy roadmap of great stuff”, which has us giddy with possibilities.
For the time being, here are the short Patch Notes for Update 1.16:
- 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
In other Two Point Hospital-related news, Sega relatively recently acquired the developer, Two Point Studios, and the game now also offers a fun multiplayer mode, if that’s your speed.
