What the official evidence does not promise

These notes do not publish cell capacity, prisoner timers or an escape shortcut. A marker change is not a new prisoner-processing requirement.

Check, compare and report

If the exact symptom persists after updating, preserve the affected save and report its context through the game's bug reporter or the developer support link in the official announcement. A recurrence report remains separate from the historical patch status.

1. Record the failure pointFor holding cell problems, include the exact object, screen or action involved; distinguish it from other station problems.
2. Retest the same sequenceFinish the Steam update and relaunch. Note the installed build and whether the save already had the problem before updating.
3. Preserve evidenceKeep a backup and a screenshot or short sequence of steps. Do not delete progress or install an unofficial save editor as a generic fix.
