Hi, you've probably noticed that we rolled the game back to the previous version soon after the release patch 36. After quite a busy week of investigating the issues and extra testing after fixing the root cause, our fingers are crossed for today's re-release. We'd also like to thank everybody who sent us their saves, it really helped us figure out what exactly went wrong and verify that everything works reliably in a much wider selection of hospitals than our usual test levels. We hope you'll enjoy the improvements that come in this version!

Hi everybody,

With only a couple of days left until holidays, let us once again take the opportunity to have a quick look at the year behind us. It has definitely been a 'proper 2020' for us as well, but apart from the time spent in lockdown and sometimes struggling with work from home, there have been some highlights too, including two development babies :).

We managed to keep working on the game and your continuous support allowed us to add a lot of new content and features in updates and the three DLCs released this year, so this is also a humble thank you to everybody who bought any of the expansions, contributed to mods or translations, supported other players or helped us catch remaining issues in the game.

The team will be now taking a couple of weeks off after a very demanding season, so we'll be only able to reply on the different channels occasionally and we'll be mostly able to get back to you on January 4th.

And last but not least, enjoy the Winter Sale, Project Hospital will be available with a 50% discount for the duration of the sale. :)

Have a good one!

For everyone who wants to jump straight to the hustle and bustle of a fully staffed hospital, we added an optimized version of one of the big hospitals, with all departments and employees already prepared for your guidance. And for those who want to carefully select every member of their team, there is another fully optimized hospital with all departments and equipment, ready to be staffed.

Note: Both scenarios require all DLCs that introduce new departments (Hospital Services, Traumatology, Infectious Diseases).
