Graphics Issues

[jaycee16503]

Hi all,

I'm having massive graphical issues lately. When scrolling to the bottom of the map, the screen starts flickering and horizontal black lines appear. I probably not describing it too well but they are 1 square in height and stretch across the map. Once these issues start, it's a couple of lines but the graphics continue to degrade until the game is unplayable. The menus are also affected once the issues start. I quit out and reload and it's fixed again... until I scroll to the bottom of the map and the cycle repeats.

I am nigh on certain it isn't my system (have rolled back drivers, updated drivers, reinstalled drivers etc etc - AMD RX580) I have uninstall and reinstalled and rolled back to previous versions of the game on steam. I have played this game for years without issues on much less powerful systems and previously it worked fine. I think it might have started around the time the high tech pack came out so it might have something to do with that but I am not 100% sure as I wasn't playing the game much at the time. I have reinstalled the game and I have removed mods and the problem persists. Google offers no answer and I can't find this reported anywhere else.

Anyone have any ideas?

The only older ones there are REALLY old - pre-Paradox acquiring this game. If this happened there too, I think the problem comes from outside the game ...

Anyway let's start from scratch. Please try this:

- uninstall PA from Steam
- unsubscribe from all mods in this game's Steam Workshop

Delete the following folders if still present:

- Steam/SteamApps/common/PA
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Introversion/Prison Architect/
(keep any valued save games, of course)
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

Now install PA again and start a new test prison.


If it still happens, Please attach here the game log C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\debug.txt

To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

AND DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
