How do I turn the alarm off?

[NascgiGale]

So... I had an escape attempt. It was my own fault really, I had to take down a section of fence to build a new cellhouse and as soon as the security breach occured everyone tried to run for freedom. Luckily my guards beat everyone to submission and got them back to their cells but the alarm klaxon won't stop sounding. How do I turn it off?

Same issue for me. Clicked on lockdown. then clicked it to turn off. Alarm keeps going.

Yep, same here. For me it happened while the prison was rioting. The only way to kill the sound was to exit the game and reload the save. Does this happen just using lockdown under normal conditions?

I also found that trying to click it on and off again in an attempt to stop the alarm just played the same sound again over top of the existing alarm, and on and on ad infinitum depending on how many times you hit the lockdown button.

EDIT: I just tried again and riot or not the noise never stops. I guess I won't be using lockdown until alpha 11 heh

Tested and confirmed. Only way to stop it is to save, exit game and then restart.

Done. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a problem for everyone. It's a 100 percent reproducable for me. Perhaps they will isssue a hotfix for it? If they don't it's no big deal, I just won't use lockdown until it's fixed

Same here. Lockdown is kind of annoying anyway since even the guards can't open doors for some reason.

Yep tested it. 100% reproduceable, surprised they hadn't noticed this.

Probably doesn't happen if you're controlling the game through the debug menu. That kind of thing happens all the time.

I'm no coder but this feels like something as simple as a missed semi colon. These things happen !

I've had this also.

To fix it, save your game and then close Prison Architect and reload the save file. It doesn't do it all the time for me, sometimes if I click lockdown and let the klaxon go for 2 "whrarrrrh's" and then click the lockdown button again the klaxon stops itself.

this is not only for the alarm sounds.


the I had a game last night where the sound thats played whilst a doctor is healing someone kept repeating. I think the bug is much more widespread

confirmed, this also happens with the backround theme in roits

Good thing we're in Alpha or this could be a real problem.

Apart from the issue of saving your game...

I have Started a whole new prison & the klaxxon is still going, same for healing sounds etc
