I've got a new Tutorial video for Zoo Tycoon on Steam Deck. This guide wasn't very good.

Hey thanks for the great tutorial. Unfortunately I'm also encountering the bug with the maintanance workers and I think I've tried almost everything at this point... Are there any news on a fix for that?

The only "solution" I found was to uninstall Marine Mania :( The maintenance workers work perfectly as intended in base Zoo Tycoon and Dinosaur Digs, but as soon as you install Marine Mania they break unfortunately :(

UPDATE: I just stumbled upon a way to fix the maintenance workers!!! Updated "How to" video coming soon after I do some testing to make sure I understand what I did and how to explain it.

Have you figured out how to bring up the keyboard to name a guest? Or type for a save

Steam deck has a built-in shortcut for bringing up the keyboard. It's the SteamButton+X If you hold down the Steam Button for a bit a list of the shortcuts should show up on screen. I would recommend memorizing most of these shortcuts. They are very helpful when trying to play keyboard/mouse based games on your steam deck.

Does the maintenance glitch fix if you download them from a cd?

I did try installing the Complete Collection directly on my Steam Deck from a Disc, and the bug was still happening for me. :'(

I just did a test with ONLY base Zoo Tycoon installed on my Steam Deck, and the maintenance workers were working just fine! :D I'm about to do a test with just the Dino Digs expansion installed (No Marine Mania) to see if they still work then.

Maintenance workers worked fine in Dinosaur Digs as well. Sadly this bug seems to only effect Marine Mania on Steam Deck.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm feeling a little burnt-out on troubleshooting this problem now, but I'll try to share any other solutions if I find the motivation to try again in the future.

Are you playing just the base Zoo Tycoon? Or do you have any of the expansions installed (Dinosaur Digs, Marine Mania)?

I downloaded the complete collection to my pc copied the file over to the steam deck put the patch in and it works fine on the pc but I added the game forced it to play and deleted the intro scenes. It loads and everything works but the maintenance workers. The option to click a box for their activity disappeared.

Yeah, I just checked on my Steam Deck and those boxes are missing for me too. I also checked on my Windows PC and those boxes worked fine. So it seems like it's a bug caused by Linux/Proton. Afraid I don't have an answer for this bug right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll let you know if I do find a fix for it.
