• Fixed game would get stuck on a black screen if you are in an underground parking garage, holding a bag, and trying to enter the building

• Fixed a few gaps in the schedule, even when you had enough employees to cover those gaps
  
• Fixed Headquarters schedules were failing in some cases
  
• Fixed if you dragged a schedule to the edge of the screen to reduce the length of the shift, it didn't update the total hours of the shift
  
• Autofill will now schedule employees up to 12-hour shifts each day
  
• It will now more strategically assign employees to the correct desks, chairs and attachments, based on their demands!
  
• Fixed issue causing the autofill to assign the same employee to multiple workstations at the same time
  
  And for the biggest autofill complaint - the Autofill will now aim to avoid creating those 2-hour shifts and will give each employee a longer shift.
  
  This calculation now takes a bit longer, but don't worry, you have two options!
  
  1. Just leave the scheduler tab, and it will continue the calculation in the background
     
  2. Check the toggle for "Fast auto-fill", to get those faster, 2-hour time blocks!
