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 :)
