A lot of crashes with Prison Architect are due to inappropriate video card drivers.

1) Update your video card drivers from the manufacturer web site (as opposed to Microsoft Update provided drivers).

2) If you don't know how to update your video card drivers or updating them has no effect. Post your debug.txt, see below for the possible location.

On Windows 7 or Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\
On Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Introversion\Prison Architect\
On Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Prison Architect

On Vista, Windows 7 and above, you can also follow the instructions below to open that location:

If you open up a standard windows explorer window copy paste the following into the address bar (or in the "Search Programs and Files" bar when you click the start menu on Windows Vista/7 )

Code: Select all

%LocalAppData%\Introversion\Prison Architect\
