Min security zone is such a light colour now that it can barely be distinguished from shared deployment zone. Please fix it back to its original, darker blue colour.

civilians who go to the restaurant jump over any doors

 

[ruruslannovosad]

the mirror with the sink is no longer placed near the toilet

 

[ruruslannovosad]

dear developers I beg you please make the light a little brighter and wider

 

[ruruslannovosad]

why do they throw food around the kitchen ?

 

[JohnConnor2013]

Guards entering fog-of-war disappear instead of revealing the occupants/condition of a cell.

I've found the program just crashes - there are probably certain jobs that are happening that is causing it but it doesn't run for long before saying that it's stopped working.

 

[ruruslannovosad]

why isn't the bridge being built?

 

[ruruslannovosad]

contraband is thrown regardless of the distance and type of fence, as you like and from anywhere

 

[ruruslannovosad]

the janitor jumps over the door

 

[ruruslannovosad]

the display case of the counter can not be turned over there are no mods

why isn't the bridge being built?

It's extremely finicky, remove the lights and see if you can drag further. I had a lot of trouble placing mine because of nearby objects even though they were quite far.

I've got guards mopping a whole lot.....and prisoners are walking around with mops outside of work hours it's very weird.

I also have the slowdowns that have been reported. Every 10s it just freezes. At first I thought it was autosave but it's not. I also can't speed the game up at all, not even overnight.

After the hotfix, the game freezes so often that it's become unplayable. Every few seconds it freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes it runs fine for a while, then starts freezing again.

 

[Eddie-Engelbrekt]

As others have mentioned the game freeze for a short while, runs for a short while, then freezes and repeat.

I also have prisoners on lockdown and solitary just walking out of the cells casually continuing whit their day.

Lastly, thx for the quick hotfix on security levels

 

[Foxyroadie]

I've found it crashes when I run a tunnel search.

Visual bug - in multiplayer at least, people without Psych Ward DLC are still listed as having it in the objects menu. When one clicks it, nothing shows up, even with the minus clicked.

Image 1: Me asking someone in multiplayer if they have Psych Ward DLC, with them responding no. However, the menu shows this with no objects inside.

Image 2: Clearer image of the minus being shown, informing the developer that it isn't an error on my end.

Image 3: Me, with the DLC, in my own prison, showing what it should be like if they have the DLC.

 

[ruruslannovosad]

these civilians are lined up for execution ))) what's going on )))

Hello,
There is an issue with the base game in which the prisoners Work during normal FreeTime instead of tending to their needs.

I am playing on the base game (no DLCs) and since the last update, my prisoners are neglecting their needs and working during normal FreeTime. All of my 70 prisoners will work at their jobs during normal FreeTime instead of visiting family, showering, relaxing, exercising, etc.... This is resulting in many prisoners with serious complaints, causing the prison's Danger Level to rise.

This issue is NOT related to the save file and CAN be recreated by creating a New Prison. I was able to recreate the issue by creating a new prison, building some offices, reception, canteen, kitchen, shower, cells, cleaning cupboard, laundry, shop, and setting the Regime to standard FreeTime. The same behavior was experienced in this new prison where prisoners would work during normal FreeTime even when other needs became present.

Dynamic and Extra Reputations is turned off, so none of the prisoners should have the Workaholic trait.

Again, I am playing on the base game with NO DLCs.

Please let me know if more detail is needed.
