Fellow officers,
The last few weeks have been incredibly exciting: With the start of the Beta for The Traffic Management Update, thousands have started to discover the new set of features, possibilities, and tools included.
While the feedback has definitely been positive, it became clear that a bunch of work is still necessary. We've collected a loooot of feedback (that spreadsheet is definitely a colossus...) and have already started our work on improving everything around the update. We think it is better to delay the update and take more time to improve it - and not push it out for the sake of pushing it out.
This is why we ultimately decided against releasing the stable build on June 28 and instead delay the entire Traffic Management Update to July 12, 2022.
In one of our last blog posts, we already mentioned a planned beta hotfix in which the currently missing reverse driving feature will be included. This beta hotfix will now be released on June 28.
So, in short:
- Beta Hotfix: June 28, 2022
- Stable Release: July 12, 2022
Yes, this is the very first time we are actively delaying an entire update. But we strongly believe it is for the better and hope to have your understanding.
If you haven't yet checked out The Traffic Management Update, you can just switch over to the beta branch. We will still collect feedback over the weeks to come and improve the game based on what you have to say.
With love,
Your Police Simulator Team
