Changelog
Gameplay

• Fix: Patients should manage to use benches more often now.
• Fix: Staff will never have the "waiting for patient" mood when in a training room or a staff room anymore.
• Change: Which diagnosis rooms different patients go to have been changed to be more like the original game.
• Change: No patients will arrive until you have both a receptionist and a reception desk. There will be no emergencies or VIP visits either until this criterion is met.
• Added: People may now puke or pee on the floor.
• Added: Various things such as litter and plants affect patient happiness.
• Added: A doctor may now get crazy if he is waaay too tired.
• Added: VIP visits. Watch out for those picky black suit visitors!
• Added: The "guess cure" fax message will now properly pop up.

User Interface

• Change: The save and load dialogs now look a little different. Autosaves are stored in a separate folder and there can be up to 12 autosaves at the same time. One for each month. The dialogs now show when a save was made, and the list can also be sorted by this criterion.
• Added: It is now possible to cycle through owned machines by right-clicking the machine name in the machine dialog.
• Added: Sound, announcement and music volumes and on/off settings are now saved between sessions.s

Graphics

• Added: Waiting patients may sometimes check their watch or start to tap their foot.
• Added: Soda machines now sell more than soda cans. This can be seen through the litter people throw on the floor after using said machines.
• Added: (Animation Viewer) A new export function has been added. Note that there is currently no import equivalent, so it is mostly for people to try out and see what graphics there are in the game. In the future we hope to make it possible to import these graphics after changing them in your favourite graphics program.

Congratulations on a great release gang really enjoying playing this classic game.

Firstly,

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to get the game up and running. I can still play the original, but recently it has been crashing a lot! Doors come off and patients get stuck going in and out of rooms... *sigh*

I hope you guys manage to add the earthquake and epidemics in the next release... cos it wont feel like the real TH until then

Thank you again!

Do you use beta 8 or the newest revision (found at the bottom of the download page) or beta 8?

The newest revision is much more stable at the moment, but on a regular basis, the revision updates are "test versions" and may be better or worse than the beta releases.
But right now, the latest release is more stable.

Thanks so much for this game guys! I love it you are awesome.

How often do you expect to do new releases?

[Grimdoc]

According to the old release plan, Beta 9 should have been ready at Christmas eve last year, but isn't released yet..
The release plans are probably being changed so that we focus more on stability than static release dates.

We are hoping for a new and stable release soon

[Lego3]

A wild guess would at the moment be sometime in the middle of march.

will this work GOG.com version?

You might want to have a look at the latest release, 0.01. But yes, all versions of CorsixTH use the same original files which are included also in the gog.com version.
