Cleared for transfer DLC instant crash [Mac]

[Kayzarem]

Hey ,

I've been playing the cleared for transfer DLC on mac. After a couple of hours i had to make a new prison because my prison crashed and would no longer open. When i opened it it would insta-crash and the same went with the auto-save file (saved to steam cloud). I thereby made a new prison with the same DLC (no mods or anything) and it went well for a day apart from the crashes that occurred when I cloned cells with the soft pillow. Because of that, I stopped cloning cells altogether. I had been playing singleplayer and multiplayer on that prison for around 2 days with no other issues than the cloning crashes. Suddenly, when I opened the prison up the next morning, the same problem I experienced with the first prison occurred. :/ When I open it (auto-save too) it crashes in less than a second. I can still open my other prison that aren't running the DLC.

Does anyone have the same problem or any idea on how to fix this? I cannot open my prison and I assume this will keep happening with the rest of my DLC prisons.

Thank you for your time

Would be awesome if you could get at least autosave file as well as debug.txt although not sure where to look for it on Mac. Wiki says it should be here: ~/Library/Application Support/Prison Architect/saves/

E: Debug.txt is in the Prison Architect folder.

Also, there is already a few bugs fixed for Mac for the upcoming update so hopefully they fix your problems.

Thank you for replying!

Here is the debug file, however, I don't seem to be able to attach the prison file because it is a .prison extension. Not sure how to upload it without breaking it or something.

Just compress it to a .zip file first.

Likely this has something to do with custom sectors. Here is how I managed to salvage my save game on a related issue:

• • -> How I salvaged my save game: Open the savegame with a text editor and find all instances of "CustomZone0" -"CustomZone10". Mark them ALL as "false". Then search for "Zone" and replace "Custom" with "MaxSecOnly" or "StaffOnly". After I did that, I can reliably load the save-game again without any crashing.
