I downloaded the Prison Architect from Epic Games Store and it doesn't start. The launcher opens, then I click play and the launcher closes. The game does not start from Explorer. I reinstalled the game, Paradox Launcher and epic games store. Updated visual c++, NET Framework and graphics card drivers 2 months ago. How to fix it?

Please go here:
And run the x86 and x64 installers there.


IF that doesn't help, 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.
 
The log file stops very early, failing to connect with Epic is some way. You might need to reinstall Epic itself, failing that please contact their support.

Good luck!
