Hi all,
I've been experiencing frequent crashing for the past few (3) days. I haven't played Prison Architect in a few months before that so I'm not entirely sure if this is a new issue. I run PA through Steam and have all DLC installed. I start a new, large map on a jungle plot with wild growth enabled and the crashes to me seem to be related to dismantling trees and/or having too many building actions at once, even though they aren't that many at all. I haven't gotten around to actual playing with prisoners because the game crashes every 5 - 15 minutes and I just get tired of having to re-do what I just did and close the game again. This is why I believe it might have to do with the actions mentioned above.
I tried to run my game through Safe mode and regular mode but it hasn't worked. In addition to this, I also tried to verify integrity of the game files and uninstalled and re-installed the game.
I have no mods and the game is fully updated. I have a relatively new PC and don't experience any difficulty running any other game, so I doubt that's the issue.
I tried to run the PrisonArchitect64 executable outside Steam but that didn't work, tried to fix it that way maybe, so I launch the game through Steam only
I made sure that the graphics settings in Windows are set to highest performance for Prison Architect but that hasn't resolved it either.
I have attached multiple .dmp files documenting the crashes. The .dmp file with the name Crash_2020_6_28_10_53_42 has occurred in safe mode, the rest were in regular mode in different save files. Additionally, I have attached the debug file and a DxDiag output.
My boyfriend is a game programmer and looked into the most recent (the safe mode) .dmp file and noticed that the crash log referred to "0xBAD...." which might be coincidence, but it might also be the cause of the crash.
I hope that this helps to resolve a bug. If there is anything I can do to resolve this, please let me know!
Update: I have been able to run it without any issues on the 32-bit version so far (about an hour of playtime).
