Fellow Officers,
As mentioned earlier this week, we’ve been reviewing your feedback and working on a first patch to tackle the reported bugs and glitches, and to make some adjustments and improvements to the game and especially the AI.
So we’re happy to say that we just rolled out Patch 14.1, which brings some fixes and improvements to enhance your patrol experience and ensure smoother gameplay, on and off the highway! 🛣️
One of the improvements is the lane switching AI. We’ve enhanced the NPV avoidance to be more responsive to the player's car. We will keep working on readjustments for this!
Known Issue
While testing the patch today, we noticed some... floating officer heads around some precincts. This seems to be an issue for new save games and should not affect existing save games. We will get this fixed asap, but we did not want to leave you without a first patch over the weekend! (No officers were harmed, we promise!)
Have a look at the full patch notes for more insights:
