No new murders happening?

[doctor shit]

I have around 11 hours in game, and I've only been called for 1 murder (not counting the scripted one). I've been doing side jobs for a while, but frankly they're mostly terrible. 90% of them will not give me any substantial information, 5% will make it feel like the answer is practically handed to me, and the other 5% will give me a short mystery to solve.

So, are murders actually that rare or is something up with my game?

It's definitely a bug at this point, there are a few threads on this issue, I have the issue as well in one of my saves where I've played 4 real-life hours without a murder case appearing.
Is your map very large?

Regenerating a new city after update 33.16 supposedly fixed this issue. Something about the murderer being stuck if there wasn't a weapons dealer close to them, and therefore they couldn't kill anyone.

That is in the patch notes for 33.16, but I bought it the day that patch came out (Apr 28) and made my city after that point, and am having this problem.

Purchased the game after this patch, so that couldn't be it

Could be some other bugs then. I personally generated a very large city and I get a case after 2-3 hours of solving one. I got a case within 5 minutes after generation.

Maybe I could just generate a new city. It's not something I want to do, but I don't see much else.

i have played for 7 hours but still no murder case

Day 3 of my new gen and I'm not getting murders either. Not a fan.

Same here, finished the tutorial mission, now 5 hours In, No Murders happening.

[Skumbag]

I've not had that issue; I've solved about four murders on my save and done numerous side-jobs. I've never had multiple active killers (or the same killer kill again; but I've solved all my murders pretty quickly)

If you're not getting any murders I'd suggest to start a new world or something; I seem to get a murder within a day or two of solving my last murder pretty consistently.

the patch fixed old saves iirc, it was because their pathing got stuck when trying to go to a weapons store (so they just fixed their path and went), but it's not impossible the bug still exists (shouldn't be tied to your city tho)

an in-game 24 hour cycle is 158.4 minutes or around there, it's wild, but since you've been in-game for like 11 hours this doesn't apply here

anyways, sometimes bodies go unreported and you have to find them on your own by asking a bunch of npcs if they saw anything suspicious, i think if you pass enough time (like 1-2 ingame weeks maybe) it will eventually spawn a discovered one or one will be discovered but can't confirm, if not then it's probably just bugged and you should totally start a new run

[doctor shit]

I've decided to start a new run, thank you guys for your help

Yeah, sadly you'll have to make a new game or wait for a patch.
I have the same issue, the latest solved case was day 2, I'm now day 30 still no new case. I put the game on hold for now

[Fafhrd]

I think it's possible that finishing cases is bugged? I had a sidejob that took me to the same building and floor of the murder case I solved and the apartment was still an active crime scene. I would think that they're supposed to get cleaned up after you solve them successfully. And the tutorial says that there is ALWAYS an active murderer, so it doesn't seem like there should be any time at all between solving a murder case and the next case starting.

I've had the issue, found out the spouse was calling 911 over and over but it never got through. I called 911 and the murder report pops up.
