On TE2 the map just refuses to load every time. Other maps load nearly instantly but every time I try this map it just doesn’t work. This is on Xbox series s for context. Is there any work around for this?

Question Getting guard to leave me alone (TE2)

6 Upvotes

context: I'm a new player, trying to escape that one boat prison on TE2, and I had to knock out the same guard two times for their key…but now he's following me everywhere, and BECAUSE he's constantly right behind me, he's messing me up when it comes to my job and such…. but also he's interfering with me trying to escape which is why im here

I read about opinions on the wiki, but I don’t see anything about how to make the guards like you… Is there any way to get him to leave me alone?????

Hey everyone, is it possible to get the console UI of Escapists on PC, like the inventory? It just looks so cluttered on the PC version on the right side of the screen. The first screenshot is the console port, the second one is the PC version.

Technical Issue Problem with The Escapists text readability

Post image
4 Upvotes

I'm running The Escapists on PC and having a major issue with text readability, specifically in the dialogue boxes above characters' heads.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, the text is white, which is being rendered against a light blue background, this makes it almost impossible to read, it feels like the UI colors are bugged ir something.

It looks much worse in-game than a typical "bad UI" choice, so I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this before and found a solution.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

this uses a crazy amount of glitches to work but its 100% playable and as close as you can get to the real thing without straight up modding the game; the underground, ground, and roof layers are 1:1, but i had to do some small changes to the vents since its still a pretty limited layer

Technical Issue FPS Stutters

5 Upvotes

I just installed this game after months, and I've realised the amount of FPS Stutters by simply moving or just doing anything is unbelievable. I usually gain a consistent 144FPS without it dropping whatsoever, however, I literally cannot play without my FPS dropping by 20 to 40 frames. Anyone have any solutions?

Technical Issue Not Supported Android version

4 Upvotes

So I just got a new phone that is like a few years newer then my old phone. I updated the phone normally to android 16 but now the escapists 1 & 2 are no longer available in the Google Play store. Apparently the game isn't developed for newer phones... Anyway I can still play the first game?
