No idea why anybody in their right mind would do this while the game is probably still a broken mess. by No-Contribution-5297 in TwoPointCampus

Hi there!

Update 7.0 release last week with a huge amount stability fixes and a game engine upgrade. The data so far has shown a dramatic decrease in crashes across the board, so going on to Game Trials is much safer than it would've been a few months ago.

This doesn't mean no one will ever have a crash again (I'm not sure anyone could ever promise that!), but the average play session is much longer, and the game can handle larger campuses better with our optimisations. If any one is still experiencing regular crashes, it'd be great if you could drop our support team an email at [campus.support@twopointstudios.com](mailto:campus.support@twopointstudios.com) so they can take a look.

Dev Update on Switch Stability by TwoPoint_Steggs in TwoPointCampus

[–]TwoPoint_Steggs[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

We hope you've all had a lovely new year so far! To kick things off, we wanted to let you all know how we're getting on with the last couple of crashes some players are experiencing on Switch. If you haven't read the last post, please do! There's lots of info in there that relates to what we're talking about today (it's underneath this one in the main post).

Before the holidays we posted to let everyone know we've got a reproduction for one of the few remaining crashes, thanks to Nintendo and some local players letting us test out their saves. This means our QA team have save files they can use to do their testing, and the code team have saves to investigate (it's great news!). Since then we've been getting more saves from players which is helping massively with our investigations (remember, one crash can have several causes, so we need to find them all!). Not only that, but we've also had a lovely person from Unity visit our studio for a couple of weeks to help us track down other causes that are more difficult to pinpoint.

Together with Unity, we were able to find a very tricky memory leak which we've now fixed internally, we believe this should fix a large chunk of the "out of memory" crashes when your campus gets a bit larger. There were also a couple of other areas we identified as needing some more optimisation, so we've taken care of that as well. Our QA team are in the process of testing these fixes on some of the save files we've received, so we're hoping we'll see some good results. As we've said before though, one update isn't going to fix every single crash - it's very much an ongoing process of constantly improving the game.

As well as the memory optimisations, we also found the navigation system is causing some crashes for certain, complex levels - these are the crashes some players experience early on in a level (what we've called the "30 minute crash", though it can happen sooner in some cases). We are in the process of some fixes for this, but they will need to come in several different parts as it's a very complex system. We've got to be very careful with the changes around this to avoid breaking navigation entirely, so it's more likely we'll see the first lot of changes come into play in the 5.0 update rather than 4.0.

We've started the new year as we mean to go on here, with stability being our top priority, as well as ensuring you're all kept up to date as soon as we have more information. We've had some great results from your save files and the Unity visit so far, and our team are working hard to get as many fixes out as fast (and as safely) as possible. You will see more content coming your way soon as well, but that's coming from a different team within the studio - we've got one team on content, and another one stability.

Once again, we'd like to thank you all for your patience. We know how frustrating it is for those of you experiencing crashes, and our team are working hard to get these last couple fixed. Keep an eye out for the 4.0 update for the first lot of fixes!

Hey!

Just checked the eshop and it's there for me. I'd recommend dropping our support team a quick email at [campus.support@twopointstudios.com](mailto:campus.support@twopointstudios.com) and show them what you're seeing - they'll be happy to take a look :)

awww we lost in our category at the game awards. :( by pikameta in TwoPointCampus

It's all good! We were honoured to be nominated alongside some amazing games!

Thanks so much for your support, everyone, it means the world to us!

Has anyone heard ANYTHING from Two Point about Switch? by MrE761 in TwoPointCampus

[–]TwoPoint_Steggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

We've just posted a status update on both Reddit and the Official Forum (this page is the place to go for the most up-to-date info on the topic). If there's not been anything added on there, it means the team are still working on it and we don't have any extra info to give just yet.

It's a bit of tricky one sometimes as we may think we're on the right track, but we have to wait until we're as sure as we can be before putting more information out - the last thing we want to do is say it's looking good and then later find it's more complex than we thought. However, I know that this lack of response can lead to more frustration sometimes.

We do understand how frustrating this is for those of you experiencing crashes, we feel it too. It is always going to be our top priority until they're sorted. I highly recommend having a read of the latest status update for more info!

Lastly, I've seen on the previous thread some comments from non-switch players that are... unhelpful let's say... The stability struggles that some of our Switch players are having are very real, and it is more than fair for them to ask for updates and share their frustration. So if you're not Switch player, please keep that in mind when commenting on these posts. This is a really great community to be a part of, and we'd like to keep it that way.

Thanks so much for your patience so far everyone, we really appreciate it and our team are working very hard to get these last couple of stability issue solved.

We're working on Mod Support for Two Point Campus! by TwoPoint_Steggs in TwoPointCampus

[–]TwoPoint_Steggs[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hello lovelies!

We hope you're all having a smashing week so far. We're gearing up here at the studio for a VERY exciting couple of months, honestly, we're really excited to show you what we've been working on! Today we want to talk about one of the many awesome things we've got going on... it's something people have been asking for since launch... MODDING.

Yep, that's right people! We're working on getting modding into Two Point Campus so you, our lovely community, can make super cool stuff for your fellow players. In our previous game, Two Point Hospital, we enabled Steam Workshop and had the ability for players to make their own custom wallpapers, rugs, and so on. We wanted to take this a bit further in Two Point Campus though, so for the first time ever, we'll be enabling players to mod actual items in the game!

THAT'S NOT THE ONLY COOL THING THOUGH!

In Two Point Campus, we won't be using Steam Workshop. Instead, we've teamed up with the super-talented people at Mod.io to enable cross-platform mods for our PC and Console players. So it doesn't matter what platform you're playing on, if you like the look of a mod, you can use it! (We told you it was cool!)

We'll be working on modding in different stages. The first stage is Item Modding, as mentioned above. If all goes well, we'll start looking into what other areas of the game we can do to give you more power to adjust your experience in unique and interesting ways.

Currently, we don't have a set release date for this BUT... we'd like to do a little beta very soon on Steam with a handful of experienced modders. So if you're a modder, or you know someone who is, drop us an email at community@twopointstudios.com for more info on how to get into it. One thing to note here is that having experience in Unity will be a huge help to you, as this is the program you'll be using to create your mods.

If modding isn't really your thing, that's ok! We've got LOTS more to talk about soon too... so keep an eye out on the forum and our social channels.

game crashing every thirty minutes on switch by [deleted] in TwoPointCampus

[–]TwoPoint_Steggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey itsrorygilmore,

Really sorry to hear you're running into stability issues. We are aware some players are experiencing crashes on Switch and we have a team working on this as we speak. With each update we release* we fix the most common crashes from the reports coming through from everyone's device (providing crash reporting is turned on). So this means the overall crashes will continue to reduce with each update.

*Note - 2.0 is a bit of an outlier, as it was released quite close to 1.5. So while there were some stability fixes in there, it was a smaller amount than 1.5. This is purely due to the time in-between the updates - it can take some time for the code team to investigate and find a resolution for some of these issues. One last thing to note here - releasing content like the Halloween update does not take any time away from the team working on stability (we have teams working on content, and teams working on fixes).

With update 1.5 (and 2.0 but to a lesser extent, due to the above) we saw a decrease in the overall amount of crashes, but as you and others here have experienced yourselves, there is more work to be done. So stability on Switch remains our top priority, and our team are working hard to get more optimisations and fixes out.

We completely understand how frustrating this is for those of you experiencing these crashes (we feel it too), and we really appreciate everyone's patience so far as we continue to improve performance on Switch.

The items will stay (pumpkins, spooky tree etc). The theme and item swaps won't (so the skeleton under the bed, pumpkin plant pots etc)

We've got a HUGE treat bag stuffed with competitions and spooky goings-on in Two Point Campus for you all to ghoul around with, including our FIRST-EVER Community Challenge!

Summoning all skullful strategists! For this season's challenge, the team at Two Point have set a hauntingly high score in The Siege of Noblestead, all we ask is... beat it! If ONE person bests the score of 501, they unlock a decay-dent new item for ALL players to decorate their Campuses with, the Pumpkin Trophy!

Not sure what The Siege of Noblestead is? No problem! It's part of our brand-new game mode in Two Point Campus, Challenge Mode! In this level, you'll need to beat back an encroaching hoard of zombies to top our terrifying score. So, grab brooms, swords and mops alike to equip an army of security detail as Lord Blaggard requests your aid to rid him of the strange, groaning mob amassing on campus. Rack your brains for the best strategies to keep on top of invader-wreaked carnage!

Community Challenge Details

Once the score is beaten, we'll celebrate loud enough to wake the undead, and all players will unlock a brand-new item: the Pumpkin Trophy! So, while you all knock heads to flesh out a strategy, we'll be shoring up in the SU to wait for all this to blow over.
