The security system within TPM is a total joke. It needs a complete overhaul.


1) Security guards do not stand up from their booths to capture criminals right in front of them. They should begin to give chase the moment the criminal tries to steal/vandalise within their sight

2) security guards seem oblivious to crime literally inches from their backs. Some small radial vision circle mixed with the cone should be sorted out.

3) only 1 security guard can chase a criminal at any time. This leads to other guards ignoring them if they see them, because they're already being chased. If a guard sees a criminal, he should alert nearby guards. Do they not have walkie talkies in Two Point County??

4) if boggymen get into a queue for the toilet, they cannot be touched, period.

5) security cameras are a complete joke - primarily due to point 3. If spotted on a security camera, the nearest guard (or three) should give chase.


This all feels like the security system got a massive nerf at some point, and no-one bothered to fix it. I understand the balance of the stealing mechanic is important, but I literally saw a guy vandalise my exhibit in plain view of a sat guard, then slowly SNEAK away. He only began running when a roaming guard saw him.


The entire security system needs a kick up its arse. A complete overhaul.

Having similiar issues as the above poster.


I'm attaching a screenshot of a robbery taking place right in front of the security and they do/did absolutely nothing.
I can understand that it adds an extra challenge the thiefs and such but imo it shouldn't be in every museum, or should at least be tweaked at bit more to make it fair.
Thanks for looking into this!

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
I played the first security challenge map, hired lots of security and cameras.
Step 2
Watch the exibits and see as the thiefs get away with and the security does nothing

Hello, 


Sorry you're finding that security seems to be lacklustre! 


This doesn't sound like it's working properly in either of the reports here, especially looking at your screenshot mike_b.


Would one or both of you be able to share your save with me? 


To do so follow this navigation path in file explorer: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Two Point Studios\Two Point Museum. Once located, "Zip" the folder up (right click and you should see the option).


Thanks for your patience,


Chizel

Hi Chizel,


I have since quite progressed quite a bit but I'll try and attach the save files.

Thanks to you and the rest of the team for looking into this, the amount of time and care you are giving to the game is much appreciated.
