Hey, everyone. The same thing happened to me. After reading the descriptions of the problem, I had an idea that worked for me: build another room, using "Flat Square," over the stairs that are not working. It just needed to be large enough that the stairs removed the floor above them on their own. Now, the stairs work, and everything is visually the same as before. Hope this helps.

Same problem over here. Nothing helps. I even can´t click on the cellar-floor - no speech bell appears(feet-symbol). Any patch announced?

@sylvernanI just tried this and ... good lord, it works. I don't understand. It shouldn't work, but it does.
Normally, a "room" in the game must have EITHER all sides defined by walls/fences/spandrels/whatever OR a floor. The "room" this creates has neither (no floor, obviously, since it's meant to be an open space over a double-height room; and no walls where it meets the dummy "floor" over the stairs) and yet it hasn't exploded, which is what usually happens when you delete one wall of a room with no floor. Nor has it absorbed the dummy "room" even when I put the ceiling back on it. I don't understand.
(PS: Just a note to everyone else who's fussy about room integrity: the dummy room made with the flat square won't have a ceiling. You'll want to put that back yourself.)

Yes! Finally! This totally worked, @sylvernan. I haven't been able to play in months. Thank you!

So I learned my particular problem is actually the shape of the stairs. Due to this exact same problem everyone is having, the work around wouldn't work for me because I had the stairs completely wrapped around itself. It used to work, but with this recent update, the stairs being shaped like that conflicts with the ceiling and all work arounds people have come up with. The infuriating thing about this is that it won't be fixed. I won't be able to use those stairs ever again. I'm regretting more and more ever paying money for this glitch of a game.

Why are you sure, they will not patch this?
