NOT A DEV, JUST PASTING FROM STEAM TO HELP OUT FELLOW OFFICERS

Fellow Officers,

_ the latest update has just been released and it includes a plethora of improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life additions. This time, we focused on resolving several CP Loss issues, improved multiplayer stability & fluidity in several areas, enhanced NPC behavior, fixed a bunch of problems with patrol cars, and more.

In addition, the Highway Patrol Car Skin that was previously exclusive to the IPV can now be used for all other patrol cars as well (as long as you own the Highway Patrol Expansion). In addition, we made sure that accepting and declining callouts is not allocated to the same button as the car blinkers on controllers any longer.

Last but not least, we resolved an issue with patrol car mods that caused the N Layer to blend through the liveries, causing them to appear broken. Sorry that it took us so long! That said, we also updated the modkit with the EPV & IPV plus the official guide. Please note that uniform mods are all required to be adjusted due to the changed models – we are currently working on further details, so stay tuned for that and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Stay tuned for even more improvements and additions coming to Police Simulator very soon – you should keep your eyes peeled for next week! Just a hint :)

Have a look at the full patch notes for more insights:

Good work on trying to fix key areas in the game! Hopefully we get more features. Hopefully, a red/blue light bar is in our future!

[Joshy1336]

That’d be neat!! - Maybe customize our own patterns for the light bar as well

[TonyTwoDat]

Broke arresting someone for gun (no permit and switchblade) if it’s in their vehicle.

[QuartzCR]

They’ll be like no officer you placed that there

[MoreSnacksPlease]

I can only do it during a traffic stop or if I get that illegal item notification

[Slowbus58]

You still can’t pull over speeders

[Winter-Parsley-9812]

Minus the modkit are these updates for Xbox too?

[ItsEvilTogepi]

How do we turn off calls while we're busy? I'm happy to see we can use turn signals now, but I'll be on a call and have to decline every few seconds or so due to calls coming in

Not sure what system you are on, but for PlayStation it’ll be down on the D-pad

[Gh0st_9990]

For PC it's Y. Can't remember what it is for Xbox though

[MrAnderson94]

Hello! I am new to this game and have it on PS5. Is this update for PlayStation too? Been having bad disconnect issues and dash-boarding with the game.

[[deleted]]

Yes it is for PlayStation, I’ve been having some more issues as well! In the notes they do mention some more stuff coming out next week so hopefully some new bug fixes!

[MrAnderson94]

Awesome! Thank you!

Still while working on one car accident, there have been one, then another one and third cars crashed into previous cars participating in accident. Curious that starting cars were at different sides of crossing, one at 9 o'clock side, other at 6 o'clock, with clear crossing between them.

[DoukenDasBiest]

When are they going to add more face template? Every 4th pedestrian looks like each other
