Guards checking desks and vents at night

[GreenLycanReviews.TV]

So i keep coming accross this issue, at night i cover my cell bars with sheets, place a dummy in my bed, move my desk and take the vent off, climb up and replace it with a fake vent cover, seems fine.

Until one of two things happen:

1, at night, during lockdown, a guard searches my desk..... wtf
2, i am checking the vents when all of a sudden a guard is running around the vents, checking vents i have loosened and then leaves, shortly after the maintenance guy turns up and fixes everything...... how the heck would the guard know when they can't see into my cell, see a bed dummy and ignore the fake vent cover, to test this i also climbed up and replaced the normal vent cover and the same thing happens, huge game breaking bug if you want to use the vents!

Hey NemesisZero!

Thanks for reporting into the forums regarding a couple of the incidents you have encountered while playing the game

1) This is normal behavior, guards will sometimes walk into cells at night and also check desks as inmates are returning to their cells.

2) Were there any other damaged vents in the prison at all that the guards may have investigated? Guards may have reported another damaged vent perhaps which would have triggered the maintenance personnel to deploy

Any additional information you can provide regarding scenario two would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey NemesisZero!

This is happening when there is only one vent cover open, in your cell, correct? If there are multiple vent openings, the guards may notice this and proceed to check the vents for other damage too.

Hey NemesisZero!

With the release of Update 10 we have made changes to guard and security camera behavior which may well have resolved your issues.

If you continue to encounter oddities with guard behaviour and activity we ask that you create a new thread detailing the issues you encounter as we are now dealing with a different version of the title compared to your original report.

Thank you for your continued support and patience!
