Tasers Bug

[Lewri]

It appears the well-mentioned taser bug in the game has finally come to haunt me. The game will crash now everytime someone uses a taser on screen in the game.

Thankfully I managed to turn off the guards having tasers to reduce the number of crashes. The debug logs don't show anything of interest really either when the game crashes...

I did note, however that on my more poweful laptop, one which uses Raedon Graphics, the taser bug does not occur. And after reading some steam discussions on the issue I think the bug is related to Intel HD Graphics (onboard) only.

My graphics driver is the most up-to-date version, so no issue there. Has there been any news of a fix on this?

This seems to be the case, it only happens on intel video systems. Unfortunately they are not supported hardware for this game, so I doubt there will be any fix for this.

Sorry about that!

Couldn't Paradox, you know, support a component present in a significant portion of computers?

This crash is making the game almost unplayable for me.

Righto. I have this bug as well and yes I will call it a bug because it has never happened before it was updated to the “Slammer Update”.

I had these crashes when I was running my Intel Onboard GPU which as seen by all the other complaints means that it would be the root cause of the issue.

I have now updated and switched to my AMD Radeon graphics card that is seperate from the Intel GPU and is higher than the recommended GPU said on the Store Page, and let’s say the game runs a lot smoother which is what I want. But the issue is still there! It only happens every 10 tasers or such but it is still happening!

Lots of people are having this issue and people are now trying to avoid an aspect of the game that assists in big prisons because it breaks them? Come on, that isn’t ok at all.

Actually it's happened ever since our first update at least, well before Slammer.

The issue is under investigation by Double11 and may well be fixed at some point, it just can't be guaranteed is all.

If you are still getting it with supported hardware please lodge a support ticket at paradox.zendesk.com with a dxdiag.txt and debug.txt attached and we'll look into it.
