Wardens,

We hope that you’ve had a great weekend and that you are enjoying Cleared for Transfer so far!

We have seen several reports of bugs from you, thank you for reaching out! This is the list of bugs we’ve gathered so far to bring back to the team. If you have experienced a bug not already in this list, please let us know in this thread.

Remember to include if you are using mods (and if you do, try to disable them - as sometimes they cause issues) and how to reproduce the bug you are experiencing. Being able to recreate a bug is the first step in understanding what is wrong and how it could be fixed! :)

  • We are getting reports of periodic game crashes after the download of Cleared for Transfer.
  • The Cloning function has several instances that make the game crash.

  • No clean clothes are supplied to cells with comfy beds or old beds.
  • When you clone and build something, the prisoners seem to think they can escape even though the building is secure.
  • Cooks don’t prepare enough food for inmates, probably there is a miscalculation with food demand and supply.
  • The blackboard for the classroom is not a blackboard. It's a collection of objects.
  • Food Policy not working. Setting the food policy for all prisoners to medium quantity and no variety still results in bacon and eggs being shipped, cooked, and eaten.

  • Min, med, max, and bamboo fences don't show up on the utility map.
  • Tasers Being Fired through the new medium-security walls.
  • Guards do not take prisoners who have overdosed into the infirmary. (Doctors also don't go to the prisoners, so they end up dead).
  • Doctors do not heal unconscious prisoners in the boxing ring.
  • Deployments are not working, when prisoners get moved up a sec, they seem to stay in their old cells and do not move into their holding cell.
  • Prison getting stuck in Lockdown, will not go back to normal after the lockdown is over and leave all doors open.
  • The Game tutorial with sprinklers not working. (chapter 2 / sprinklers / steam)

Two issues:

1- The game crashes every-time I load my prison. I tried loading a different prison, and the same thing happened. I tried loading from Steam Cloud save and locally, the same issue persists.

2- Plus, the cooks are operating phone taps, cctv, retrieving bodies, and laundry.

This really makes the game unplayable. Assistance is appreciated.

Not extremely important, but this annoys me very much, please fix the placement of objects, The floodlight should display before the park bench:

I found a bug in the visitation booths. When the booth is installed with the prisoner side on top, at the end of the visit the prisoner and visitor teleport to the other side.

I don't play with mods, I verified the integrity of game files, and it was a fresh install.

I uploaded a video, but I cannot share it because the system thinks I'm a spammer. The video is on Youtube: ?v=v6Vd52RYeIo (the bug starts at 1:00).
 
I have noticed a few bugs even with the 1.02 update:

1. Janitors are still not cleaning properly. Prison is a mess and all my janitors are hanging around the laundry area, also doesn't see, like prisoners want to work in cleaning cupboard either. Assigned janitors just stay in a dirty room and wont clean.

2. Prisoners that have a non standard bed constantly complain of not having clothing.

3. Sometimes when new prisoners land, they get stuck in the top left hand corner of the map outside my wall all piled on top of each other. If Iload a mod and start a fire near them they break up and then the guards will go and move them to a cell.

4. If you get a riot, then just starting a bangup will calm the situation as soon as you stop the bangup, chaos continues.

5. When using the clone tool, the workers are so slow to start building, it takes a few minutes before the system buys everything.

All these issues are with the 1.02 update and no mods loaded.
 
When i started a new game with the transfer dlc, guards will not bring inmates to solitary. Unless solitary works differently with the dlc, my entire prison is basically not functional because all of my inmates are in shackles and they are starving. Also some guards have a TODO task, like move prisoner to cell, but then they get stuck and dont move

In regards to your point #3 do you happen to know a fix if the prisoners have already starved to death? I didn't realise they were stuck there and now my guards just stand around trying to move the dead bodies but they cannot access them
 
Im running 1.03 with no mods.

Game is unplayable now. Laundry stopped working altogether, prisoners just hang out in the laundry doing nothing. Janitors won't do anything in the laundry now either.
Maybe once a day a janitor will deliver to 10 cells.

Also the prison is a mess, janitors still not cleaning properly, but they do clean a little. Prisoners also just hang out in the cleaning cupbaord doing nothing.

I have 150 janitors and mostly they just hang around the storage or the delivery area.
