Why does prison architect keep crashing

I can trace it way back to without any solution other than "update your graphic driver". Geez, updated and no success. Tried running bugbash build without any mod, extremely laggy but it's work. Then, reverted the build and running without mod, got the same result but way smoother fps. To date, I never find sure-working solution for this CTD. I thought it would be done and I can play PA smoothly from that point. I've never been so wrong. Some in-game days later, streaking , the game freezes without any explanation and any error msg.

Oh, it's autosaving. Well, it's not. I found same monster with different spell: freezes. We're in same boat, mate. I'm nearly crying after trying different action and I can't even get past even if I'm doing nothing but staring at the clock. Last edited by espewe ; 28 Jun, pm.

I noticed it crashes randomly within minutes when I have my prison opened and filled with prisoners. But when I load the closed version of the prison with only staff inside building stuff etc, it's stable. Prisoner related bug perhaps? Something to do with Warmth needs in a prison without temperature enabled perhaps?

Who knows Seems like this started around Update 5 or 6 and has not been solved in Update 7. Wait a sec.. It must have been starting since they transferred stuff to a second core I think.

It started to happen around the same time. Last edited by murgh ; 28 Jun, pm. Well, small update: It certainly doesn't crash if I leave it running for a couple hours on the pause menu; so it's something specific in the game processes rather than a random bug within the overall program. I don't seem to get it at any specific time though. I've set my autosave to go every minute, and am just playing through the crashes that way. I've played mine for about 10mins, no joy Mods are easy, because you can disable them and see if that changes things.

Each situation is different so posting your full system specs if helpful to following up. Before letting out all of your bad feelings toward development team, do not forget to go to the official website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers. There are often specially prepared optimized drivers for specific game. You can also try to install a past versions of the driver if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that only the final version of the video card driver must be loaded — try not to use the beta version, since they can have some terrible bugs. Do not also forget that for good game operation you may need to install the latest version DirectX, which can be found and downloaded from official Microsoft website. Many of the problems with games launching happen because of improper installation. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with a game should contain only Latin characters and numbers.

You also have to check whether there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can also try to run the game as an administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.

Your first solution to this problem install new drivers for a video card. This action can drastically rise game FPS. If before starting the game you can see that some process consumes too many resources - turn off the program or simply remove this process from Task Manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First — turn off anti-aliasing and try to lower the setting, responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and switching them off will greatly enhance the performance, and not greatly affect the quality of the picture.

My game crash when the prisoners start fighting So annoying Here is the debug file. I don't believe it happens on other saves, but I haven't used any other save yet, except for Escape Mode save. Unfortunately, no crash or other serious issue in there. Do these crashes create dump files in the game's Steam folder? If so please attach the latest one here and I'll log a bug on that.
