Performance

[HappyFaceMan]

Hello everybody,

I really love prison architect, and played many hours to get my ultimate prison. But now, every time I have around 250 - 350 people (staff and inmates), the fps starts dropping dramatically. At normal speed it plays around 18 fps, and when speeded up it goes to 8 fps or lower. Is there any plans to fix this in the future (or next update), because it really affects the joy of the game.

Try closing any programs running in the background. I do believe further optimisation is planned for future updates.

I had a similar issue myself: http://forums.introversion.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=55874

I also did some research on the matter, it seems frequent that when you have a few hundreds prisoners, your CPU will get over-loaded, causing slowness and lags. I heard there would be performance improvements coming soon.
