CCTV Cameras not working in Alpha 12?

[Dam0]

Since Alpha 12, my CCTV cameras appear to not want to sweep. Just me?

Removing then reinstalling them seems to sort it, oddly.

[Pogo]

Are you talking about a save file from a previous version of the game?

[Dam0]

Yes from Alpha 11.... ...I can see where this is going

My cameras didn't sweep properly in Alpha-11 either. Issue #1006 on Mantis Bug Tracker.

Do you have the fog of war off? Because I find they don't work when it's off, but never tried it when fog offwar is on because I like to see every detail.

They work sporadically for me in A12, in an A11 savegame. Usually all work if I quit and reload but eventually they bug out and get the 1000 yard stare.

This behavior was common in alpha 11 too. I had stuck cameras all over the place. Reloading would fix them for a while, but they eventually get stuck again.

Other bugs include CCTV seeing through walls, and sometimes cannot see things in the room they are in (you see the sweep, but any people inside aren't revealed).

They'll get around to fixing it after PA is feature complete unless it becomes important during another feature add.

I've also had the cameras stop sweeping and also not see people and this is in a game started under Alpha 12. No biggie, since it's on the bug tracker. I have the camera dismantled and then reinstalled and that seems to fix it, at least for awhile.

Yup got the same problem here!

My camera's get stuck after a while and they often don't detect/see any prisoners/staff
I started my game in alpha

I've had the same issue since alpha 10.

Yep, cameras constantly getting stuck for me too - I've found reloading sorts the problem...for a bit!

I can't use CCTV because they say it's need more consoles when I do have a enough even when guards are watch the consoles. I think that is in visible prisons only, I haven't tried it with fog of war on.
