What are these black lines?

[TheDiaz]

Sometimes, when I'm playing, these black lines appear on every wall/fence that I build, but they don't appear on every prison. I think this is some kind of graphics bug that or something similar that I'm having. I must say that I play on safe mode because my graphics card doesn't has the needed OpenGL.

Sometimes they appear on a new prison, sometimes they don't, so I don't now what is causing them. Any ideas?

It looks like the planning/to be build outline just hasnt disapeared. But this is probably a graphicss bug as you say your card isnt fully supported. It might not be fixable, but you could report it to the bug tracker http://bugs.introversion.co.uk

Here's something you can try to see if it fixes it.

Select the Planning tool... right-click and drag the affected area. This might or might not fix it, if Eden's assumption is correct.

Already tried that.

Maybe you are right, I'll try building a wall without the planning tool and see if they appear.

Thats very weird. The planning tool only puts white faded lines on the ground. . .

Is this when you place any wall, foundation or fence and you have not used the planning tool at all?

Could be a sprite problem and also maybe shadows/shading of the object that it is not capturing. . .

P.S - Maybe verifing the game cache could add any missing files causing this?

I hadn't thought of corrupt sprite files.

@El Díaz; are you using any mods?

Nope, they don't seem to work for me... but maybe they are... I'll have to take a look into this.
I already tried to make a wall without planning mode, but didn't work.

Interesting, I didn't noticed any changes from the mods that I was trying to use (Imperial Architect as an example), but it seems they did that with the walls. I pressed Deactivate Mods and made a new prison. The black lines were gone.

Thanks, but is still striking me as odd that they do that but wont work.

[blipadouzi]

I've found that the mods do not always automatically update. I'll regularly delete my entire mods folder (except the mods I maintain), just to have to have a fresh copy downloaded.

[Saint Sasius]

Id say it is probably the adding of Shadows and Shaders that the Modders didnt update. Good Work Team! haha

[TheDiaz]

Well, problem solved, thank you so much both of you. Now I'll try to sell my prison so I take out the that bug, or maybe expand it and win more money? xD

In the meanwhile, I wonder if there's any idea for a Hannibal Lecter Cell style, I'd love to see that onn one of my prisons xD

[Saint Sasius]

Sounds like an awesome idea El Diaz for SuperMax prisoners :) Glass walls and a jaildoor
