PC:
- The Warden can go beyond the map boundaries in Warden mode.
- Dismissing the helicopters of the new Air Emergency Services can lead to some visual and gameplay issues.
- The unit will remain on the map (Air Paramedics).
- When dismissing the Air Firefighter unit, a fire truck will drive past the map (potentially on water).
- MAC: Setting build priority does not work as indicated to the player (Alt+Click).
- Air Paramedics can't leave the map after dismissing their helicopter on Island Plot map.
Console:
- “Map renamed" prompt is displayed even though the user backed from the menu or selected the same name.
- If the user plays escape mode game on a downloaded prison and goes back into the escape mode selection screen, it is still trying to get the downloaded maps and as it can't download escape saves, it finds nothing.
- Storage room has no icon in deliveries in logistics menu.
- Marking only half of a long object with the Clone tool creates a cloned object with the unselected part of the object lacking collision.
- Movement over stepping stones can be weird sometimes.
- Tired/Exhausted guard dogs are unable to use the Ferry.
- “Rename Text” strings might miss localizations.
- Splitting the intake via the logistic menu -> transport may lead to only getting only one type of prisoner coming in via its selected logistic mean, while the others don't arrive and the player still cashes the second one.
- On a ferry with 10 spots, 10 pairs of dog handlers and dogs would claim the 10 spots, but the first 10 units (5+5) would get in but the other 10 units (5+5) would get stuck trying to board. (handler = 1 space, dog = 1 space).
- Helipads, docks and roads do not show a warning when they are not connected to deliveries.
- User isn't informed why the Emergencies are LOCKED when they have no Helipad.
- After deleting a save, save and exit in the next prison map used, it can cause a save data overwrite of another prison. The prison that gets overwritten, can sometimes be a warden map, and other times an architect save. (This is a legacy issue that has been around for quite some time already. The reproduction steps are so specific that it makes it an edge case).
- Sinks close to walls can be used as "doors" after interaction.
- Prison Stories "Death Row" progress blocker with electric cables.
