Prison Tycoon 2: Maximum Security

This game is nearly unplayable. Not because it's a bad game, but because of the many game-breaking bugs and glitches.

Prison Tycoon 2 : Maximum Security, at first glance, would seem like a massive improvement on the first Prison Tycoon game. It is, in the sense that the graphics are better and the gameplay itself is more interesting.

There is one FATAL FLAW which brings this game down SO MUCH that it renders it nearly UNPLAYABLE.

What is this catastrophic flaw, you ask?

THE GAME CONSTANTLY CRASHES, LOCKS UP AND FREEZES!

So many times have I tried to build a nice prison and really get into the meat of the game and play it through, but this flaw has never let me do this with success. Every single time I get started building my prison, the game will crash to my desktop for NO REASON whatsoever. This problem can NOT be fixed, not even with any of the troubleshooting tips found on the developer's website.
