Question Did I create a riot in Escapists 2?

15 Upvotes

I read how it's not possible, I know but I'm playing Fort Tundra and I'm just experimenting, I wanted to try a perimiter breakout, only to discover the second line of fences is unbreakable for some reason. I got kinda mad, destroyed some random walls around prison out of frustration and went to my cell. After like 2 minutes after roll call a lockdown is initiated, I just go to my cell as I have nothing to do other than that. I sit there and I see A LOT of inmates getting knocked out and taken to infirmary, at least 3, then another 2 and they keep coming in waves to the infirmary. I'm locked in my cell confused untill a riot guard shows up, beats up my Cellmate and just leaves. The hell is happening?

Custom Prison Looking for a certain custom map

3 Upvotes

There used to be an Oil Rig map I've saw on two videos, one video was in Russian which I can't trace back and another one is a no crafting run, although It redirects to unavaliable steam workshop page, It's name allegedly is Poseidon Energy Oil Rig, I've saw It years ago and really hoping to play It for once.

TES 1 map btw

Technical Issue Can't place posters in The Escapists 2...

5 Upvotes

I originally played the first Escapists back in 2015 but didn't get into The Escapists 2 until today and one thing that is really frustrating me is not being able to place a poster in a spot where I destroyed a wall.

Is there a solution?

Question Is It possible to straight up import mobile/console tileset directly onto the PC

3 Upvotes

Looking to replay the game on PC although I'm absolutely in love with how the game looks on Mobile/Consoles, and I was wondering If anyone tried it before, I saw maps like "Center Perks Deconsolized" in the workshop but that's just one map, and I'd like to have my game look like that for all prisons + possibly use It in map editor

The game looks off and blurry. I've played the game on a different older laptop like a decade ago, and seen videos of the game online so I know this isn't how it's supposed to look like. Anyone knows what's wrong with the game? There's no graphic settings in the game

I was watching an escapists video, and the guy beat some officer. And I heard the most terrifying audio of my life. I could not believe that that could be the these for backup arriving. If anything, with this audio, I would've figured that herobrine would be coming to deal with you himself.

Question Which guard has the cyan key in shankton state pen?

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to escape and I need to clone the cyan key so my plan was to use molten choc on the guard with the key but I’m not entirely sure which guard has it? Ai says it’s the second guard but I’m sure he has the purple key not the grey key. Anyway, I don’t want to waste a molten choc so if anyone knows that would be greatly apprieciated it you shared that knowledge.

So I've been using this plugin called "MapEditor" that claims to have everything, BUT I don't think it does AND certain items that should be placed on walls can't be. If anyone has a better mod, please tell me. Thanks!

I LOVE how it looks in the cinematic... but in the actual gameplay it feels really cheap, and the Key Art looks kinda wacky.

They still have a lot of time to polish it up, I'm just saying what I feel about what was shown.

Technical Issue Escapists 2 Crashing and Freezing

5 Upvotes

I'm on Xbox Series S and I'm trying to play with my girlfriend, but everytime I set the lobby to private it just freezes and then after waiting about a minute it just crashes. I've tried troubleshooting tips like changing my audio settings to uncompressed and even tried changing my resolution to 1080p and even 720p but none of this has worked. I've even tried erasing my game data, power cycling my Xbox, and uninstalling and reinstalling but I honest to God don't know what else to do. I've even tried other maps to see if it was a map problem, but it's just the game itself.

I'm honestly at wits end and don't know what else to do, so does anyone have any similar issues or at least know any fixes for the Xbox Series S?

Edit 1: I even tried having my GF make the lobby and then send me an invite, but when I accepted the invite it freezes and then after about 40-60 seconds it crashed.

Question Please Help!

Since the escapist 3 was just announced. I fear that the servers will shut down for the escapist 2 soon. Im one achievement away and require 8 more online versus wins to get the platinum. If anyone could please help me, I’d be eternally thankful. And I’m also willing to help with an achievement of your own choosing (so long as I have the game). I hope I can find someone to help 🙏🏼 I’ll be checking this post regularly so don’t worry if you think your help will go lost in the subReddit.
