We're happy to announce that patch 40 for Project Hospital is almost ready to be released - if you'd like to help us with the last round of testing, you can switch to beta-patch-40-test in Properties in your Steam library. The release notes are listed below and as you'd expect at this stage, we're mostly looking at smaller bug fixes and improvements as we haven't been receiving too many reports especially in the second half of the year. Here's the beta branch that you can switch to in properties on Steam:

Project Hospital 1.2.22846 - Patch 40

Changes

- Closed departments in management mode are rendered with desaturated colors, not completely grayed out - Switched icon in the patients table for patients waiting for an ambulance from 'a waiting patient' to 'an ambulance' - Updated Italian localization with fixes from Mario Raffa

Fixes

- Fixed janitors without matching specialization allowed to be assigned to gift shop or management office - Hotfixed a case of a patient stuck in the pharmacy because of a deleted pharmacist - Set patients to be only aware of their 'visible' collapse symptoms, so an interview doesn't uncover any new collapse symptom that should be found using special examinations - Fixed patients with iron deficiency anemia stuck when sent to ICU because of its treatment only available at emergency - Fixed a couple of symptoms showing wrong description text - Fixed a rare case of blocked patients when diagnosing them outside of trauma center in tutorial 3 - Fixed a wrong description shown for the 'stiffness of the joints' symptom
