When i open the game i get the paradox launcher i click play and i get a black screen as if the game is loading then i get booted and the game closes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game through steam and changing the setting for the game in the launcher but still nothing. Ive played the game before so i know it works but its just stopped all of a sudden. Any ideas?

Now install PA again and see how that goes please!


IF that doesn't help, Please attach here the game log C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\debug.txt
