Police traffic AI not spawning after 0.34 update

[AwesomeMeeps]

They don't spawn when I click the spawn police button and I deactivated all my mods and reinstalled the game

[Syguy926]

yeah i'm having the same problem when i load up police ai

Mine's okay. Have you verified the files and run the check options and done an indepth check on the files?

[AwesomeMeeps]

what files should I check? I reinstalled the game, so I think everything should be fine, but maybe not?

[AwesomeMeeps]

they all got validated

[AwesomeMeeps]

it also says "traffic AI moved to nearest valid road" whenever I spawn the police

[AwesomeMeeps]

or try to spawn them

It sounds like a setting may need changing but I'm not sure what. I think the devs must have made some changes but for some odd reason mine is working fine, although it wouldn't update initially. If I find something I'll let you know

Im encountering the same issue.
However, if I run it in safe mode, the police AI traffic will spawn.
I suppose comparing the options between safe mode and regular mode might offer a clue.

[MultiRetroMan]

I remember one setting I did was to only allow Beam.NG cars to spawn in AI

[AwesomeMeeps]

what do you mean by that? only allowing them to spawn ai

[AwesomeMeeps]

also, it runs fine in safe mode, so it must be a setting

[AwesomeMeeps]

ok, problem solved. You need to navigate to Users->(Insert your username here)->AppData(If its hidden, then click View -> show->hidden)->Local->Beamng->0.34 and delete settings. This will clear all your and revert the game back to it's release state

[MultiRetroMan]

Thanks for that, I never knew about it :)

they work fine for me even with all my mods enabled

I think I found the problem:

Police spawning is broken if you have the checkbox "Start free-roam with traffic" checked.

When I unchecked it, I can go to the (esc) menu, select AI and 'spawn police' When I id that, it spawned the police cars and regular traffic.

I also noticed that changing anything in the options menu made the game redraw the scene, seems to be doing a lot of unnecessary work that should be reserved for changing the graphics setting.
