[koshensky]

If you can go to your game folder and copy/paste your debug.txt contents we can get a better idea of what's going on.

Stick the following in your Run command prompt:

%localappdata%/Introversion/Prison Architect/debug.txt

Your integrated graphics chip is a little underwhelming---it may not support the complete OpenGL standard and may be the source of your problems. Have you tried running in safe mode?

I have switchable graphics and i don't know why the game was using the Intel one instead of the AMD one, yesterday i installed catalyst control center to switch to the amd gfx card and turn some things off but that didn't fix it but today it works and i don't know why it didn't work yesterday.
