We're sending a quick hotfix your way to fix a couple of issues relating to profiles, the details of which can be found below:
- Fixed an issue where profiles could become corrupted during saving. Unfortunately this will not fix previously corrupted profiles and users affected by the issue will need to restart, however the level saves themselves should still work. We apologise to anyone who was affected by this issue.
- Fixed an issue where consultant would not display on the consultant galaxy menu screen and skins were not working.
As always, please keep reports coming in via our Official Tracker and please read our Instructions for best quality reports.
Until next time Director,

Thank you for purchasing Galacticare, we're hard at work diagnosing any issues that are raised and we've just rolled out a hotfix for two important issues.
- Fixed the recruitment panel occasionally showing "Placeholder Text" instead of doctor names, which turned hiring doctors into a game of blind date
- Fixed the debug save tool used to help us diagnose issues (ctrl+shift+F7)
