Since the latest PA update PA is crashing constantly when ever I attempt to assign a prisoner to protective custody, the game hangs for a second and then just quits/crashes. I absolutely love this game, but the glitches and now bugs are stopping me from completing achievements and goals. I own all the PA DLC, have disabled all DLC and MOD's, run PA in base game mode, spent 6 hours making a new prison from scratch, populating it with crims and staff etc., a snitch enters my prison and my informants let me know this person is in the holding cell. I locate and select the "snitch" prisoner and assign them to protective custody from the prisoner drop down menu - and bang(!) the game crashes to desktop and I realise I just wasted 12 hours of my life and time trying to gain more achievements. This happens every time and is a major BUG(!) among many others. Pathing, manual or auto doesn't work properly, assigning prisoners to various sections - Min, Med, Max and Super Max still allows Med, Max and Super max prisoners to somehow end up in Min Sec and killing my snitches in Min Sec.
I'm now running the 32bit Legacy Client (seems to be more stable) as the 64 bit game crashes when the game reaches over 350 prisoners and I have purchased an adjacent plot to expand the prison to allow for education, further training etc.
Alienware Computer - Intel Processors 32 GB RAM, NVidia GTX680 x2, Win 10 64 bit, patched and updated.
I will purchase the latest new PA 2.0 game (I love playing it), but only if these major BUG's are fixed first, otherwise I'm wasting my time (frustration to reach the achievements) and money. P.S - I've played PA for 182 hours since purchasing it on Steam, the original unpatched version worked correctly, had some minor bugs in the pathing and assigning prisoners properly - see above concerns, but didn't crash when assigning Snitches to Protective Custody Custody.
My UID is the same on Steam so you can check my playing status. The PA Steam Discussions forums appear to be abandoned/ignored by Paradox Support Staff so I am resorting to appealing directly to the Paradox game developers. Please fix a fantastic game idea/concept simulation.
