everything up to date, no overclocking

PA wont create a prefences.txt so i created an empty one.
i already testet to fill it with data but it doesent work.

i already deletet everthing, tried start as admin, etc

there is nothing in ...\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect exept the debug and preference textfiles

[knoest26]

is that everything the debug has?

[atcen]

yes

[knoest26]

Right, difficult one then.

Have you tried a clean install?
Have you downloaded the game from the introversion site or the humble site?
Does the game display any information while crashing?
Did you monitor your PC specs while starting to see whether something maxes?
Is there a report available in the game directory (where the game was downloaded to)?
Have you tried deleting your preferences.txt file?

[learn_more]

you can try to create a minidump with ProcDump from sysinternals ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... s/dd996900 )

procdump -mp -e "Prison Architect.exe"

i think the devs hardly ever check the forum, so i suggest you to make an issue on mantis and attach this to it

edit:

i see it crashes in nvogl32.dll,

that is a video driver dll, did you try updating to the latest video driver?

[atcen]

i got the latest driver...

[atcen]

today there was a nvidia update.
now it works
