Jesus that took forever the old way.

Changelog for The Clink Hotfix 1.02 (added 03 July 2019):

We put out another hotfix so your prisoners no longer are making telephone calls from containers of bleach! Also, they are sitting properly at tables!


Standalone installers updated: 03 July 2019.

OH BULLSHIT!

I call people from containers of bleach all the time!

When you try to change the language, the game crashes. The language can be changed in the configuration file, it works with the German language, but it does not work with the Russian language. See the screenshot. The problem is reproduced on Ubuntu 18.04 and Fedora 30. Latest version Prison Architect 1.02 (30664)

It would be great if the distribution of the game was delivered with the library libsndio.so.6.1, libsndio.so. These libraries are only available in ubuntu. This is a rare library, and it is not in Fedora and some other Linux distributions.

The Sneezer Hotfix 1.01

Wardens,

Thank you for the feedback you sent us following the release of Psych Ward: Warden’s Edition and the biggest free update so far, The Sneezer.

We are delighted in seeing how many of you are enjoying the new content, and we are addressing many of the issues you reported since the release with this hotfix. We really appreciate all your reports, and we constantly monitor the ongoing conversations to understand how to address your concerns.

In order to facilitate this process, we are creating a sub-forum on the Steam discussion board dedicated to technical issues reporting. While we might not answer to every thread, we are reading what you write!

Finally, we’ve been observing some players reporting crashes of which we believe many are related to the use of outdated mods. As we introduce new content and additional art/sprites, it is feasible that mods with scripts that are not up to date with the current game’s architecture may cause issues. We are working closely with our active modders before releasing an update to avoid these issues as much as possible.

In case you are experiencing these issues, you will find a short guide on how to disable mods at the bottom of the post. A more extensive guide written by Murgh, a member of the Prison Architect community, can be found here.

Help, my game crashes since the last update!

If you are experiencing a crash while starting the game or when loading a prison we highly recommend disabling all your mods. To do this, follow the steps below:

- Turn off all mods in the game’s Main Menu > Extras > Mods menu.
- Unsubscribe and Deactivate Mods via the Steam client
- Check your mods folder and remove them manually: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\mods

You can also check the mods page of any mods you have installed to see when they were last updated.

If you still experience game crashes after doing that, please reach out to us at https://support.paradoxplaza.com/.
