Fake Wall turned unusable, unchippable

[Bonaventure]

On my first big nighttime adventure in Center Perks, I forgot to leave any inventory space to pick up my Fake Wall when getting back into the cell. I shuffled a lot of stuff, finally abandoning a Timber Brace right outside the Fake Wall, removed the Fake Wall, got inside the crawlspace, and replaced the Fake Wall.

To my surprise, when I tried to use that Fake Wall again, it was broken. Hovering over it doesn't give the "Fake Wall" text, and clicking on it doesn't remove it. I also can't chip at it with tools, so it's not a Real Wall again. It's just there, and no longer interactable.

My Timber Brace sits just outside the now-broken wall, mocking me. I have a copy of the save if it's useful.

I have the same problem, I can't figure it out. Have you discovered anything?

[ally of communist china]

Same thing happened to me. Center Perks as well. Maybe the map?

[link23454]

Not the map. I would have figured that too when it happened to my sister in her cell on Center Perks, but it just happened to my in the library of the jungle map.

Before I saw this post, there was another post that mentioned placing a new fake wall over the old one fixed it for him, and I was going to try that. So I loaded the game up, went to my save, however, this time the fake wall was accessible again and broke every time I reloaded the game.

I may be pulling hairs here, as I know it's been an issue with other people, but maybe it has something to do with the randomness of the walls durability? That's just my guess though.

Fake Wall Block not working?

So playing the escapists. I did a hole an put a bunch of stuff in the wall and see it with a fake wall. Then I go to Roll Call and get ''caught'' with my chipping antics. Why? I had a fake wall right...... explain?....

Whats your Operating System and which version number of the game are you running?

[defunct profile]

is the broken fake wall still a thing?

I just loaded up the game for the first time in a while, and my first wall block became disabled/permanent wall the first time I replaced it in the wall. =\ Reloaded without saving and it was still disabled.

I guess it's still broken?

• The prisons that you've had this issue in
  
• The types of wall that you've experienced this with

Any information that you can provide would be appreciated.

I just lost my save to this, during the escape. This glitch needs to go.

I don't understand OP very well, but I'm having an issue with the Fake Wall Block aswell.

My problem:
- I dug a wall hole with some forks in my own cell, used first a poster to cover the hole. I put the original wall tile inside some guy's desktop I think, to dispose of it.
- After that, I crafted a Fake Wall Block and put it on the hole instead of the Poster.
The first times I was using it, it was working fine, as I was removing it with the right mouse button and placing it afterwards.
- Then, all of sudden, it stops working and I'm going to explain how it is: It doesn't show any contextual menu saying anything (before, I could read "Fake Wall" or simillar, you know) when you hover the mouse over; you can't either interact with the tile in any way, not even try to dig it with a fork (or another tool) again.

It has ruined my stash behind the walls hahaha it sucks. I thought it had a limited number of uses and I was fine with that, I think it didn't work as intended and this must be some kind of bug. Please look onto it as soon as possible, this is a great game but these kind of bugs can ruin the experience a lot.

BTW I'm using Windows 7 and The Escapists v. 1.251 (bought it yesterday)

Center Parks Fake Wall-Bug

I have everything to escape from prison. I made a hole into the wall and made a fake wall to hide it. At Day 16, i wanted to escape, but i couldn't remove or chip it. When i move the cursor over the hole, nothing stands there. Normaly, there would stand: Fake wall. I don't know what to do.

Hey Duelln,


Thanks for getting in touch to report this issue.
I've merged your thread with another, about the same problem.
So that we can take a closer look into fixing this, I'd like to ask that you please answer the questions in my earlier posts.
Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

I can confirm that placing another wallblock/fake wall block does fix the issue. I think the problem is that the game shows you a wall is there, but it really isn't. Meaning you could get "caught" with the glitched wall. My problem is that I can't even walk through it either. I don't know if putting a poster down will fix it, but I'm almost out of duct tape so I'm not able to test, haha.
