prisoners in the park keep respawning

[Greg of the Creek]

this is an issue i came across and i don't know how to fix it. it makes the game so much harder because that is such a key location, i have to go through the park every time i escort a survivor or just to get to another case and it is impossible to get past without dying or having a survivor die, anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

They respawn every 24 in game hours.

not for me, they respawn in the same day i killed them in, i would escort the girl you save during that encounter and i would go back out into the park and they would respawn again. and i thought if you killed them they stay dead, it would make sense.

well in that case the only way i think i could fix it is if i started a new game, i didnt get that far so its not to big of a deal

That seems like a good Idea.

I believe they are supposed to respawn everyday, It's a bit of a hassle, but as you kill other mini-bosses and get their weapons; the prisoners are easier to defeat.

It would definitely be a weird game design decision to make nowadays but this was made over a decade ago and still has a decent amount of those early design quirks that add character.

from what i can tell i think they sometimes respawn quicker then 1 day total time.
probally to up the challange id guess, also u may feel its an day total as possible that you take the other big opening doorway? as chance maybe they dont always activate on all the doors
or maybe its an random chance as to when they appear with an higher chance at night.

They are meant to do that. If you kill them while saving Sophie, they will just come back again at midnight I believe.

i started a new game and i got to where i was in about an hour (because i wasnt messing around ) and in my new playthrough they respawned just how i explained above, but if found a way to avoid the coartyard entirly. in the wonderland plaza mall womens bathroom there is a vent above the sinks that takes you to the paradise plaza bathroom right next to the safe house. i found this by saving greg from the clown boss in wonderland plaza after saving him he leads you to the bathroom. it realy helps because i don't have to go through the field with the prisoners and it can save time if i am already close by.

The convicts respawn every midnight. If you kill them right after their first appearence, they will respawn again the midnight of that day.

Not always, sometimes they can seriously ruin your trip. My first playthrough where I was going for Saint I decided to bring a big survivor group with me through the park and that was a bad idea. I exited Food Court and they were very close to Food Court. They managed to reach me once I got near the pond and they almost killed a few of my survivors. Thankfully I was prepared and didn't lose anyone but I was incredibly hectic.
