Guards Idle - Won't Finish Shakedown or Search

[Shoober]

Title pretty much sums it up, is there any cause of this that anyone knows or does it look like a game ending bug? http://puu.sh/npq0U/fdb559f4a2.jpg

All the rooms and prisoners marked to search will not search, I've reloaded, rebooted, fired all the guards, and done a second shakedown with no luck.

With the game close goto library and right click on prison architect and goto properties then local files tab and press the line of View Integrety of Game Files. Seems to fix my problem of the workers just start running in circles may help you with this issue.

Aight ill report back and see if that helped


Update: Didn't help but thanks anyways

Hm, do you happen to have a bunch of mods maybe?

When you quit the Shakedown and start another one, do they stop at the same point, do they do it differently or just not search anything at all?

They stop at the same point, and they wont search it manually. Cancelling the shakedown doesn't stop the search either so these cells are perpetually marked.

I hired 30 more guards and they too won't do anything.

Open a menu, like the Foundation or Materials, then rightclick and drag across the entire map. That will cancel Search (and other) jobs that you normally can't select.

Then re-issue, see if anything happens.

Also, do you have any Warnings, like No Route?

I found the problem, but its not too dangerous so I'm completely baffled.

Save the game and reload it.

Already done that a ton

[Frazzledragøn the Trustworthy]

Yeh, figured, read that, but that's simply what usually fixes the problem.

I'm kinda out of ideas for that one now.

Unfortunately I had to wipe my puush storage a few times since 2016 and they're permanently gone, and after 6 years I cannot actually remember how I fixed this bug. With that being said I'm almost certain I remember fixing it somehow without starting a new prison. It was probably a combination of pathing and scheduling at fault, but with this game having so many systems it could almost be anything. There's always the classic move of selling and rebuilding too
