Backup always stuck
I wanna love this game so much, but its so annoying when every single backup i call to take away arrested people gets stuck, doesnt get out, doesnt take away the suspect, causes massive traffic keeping towtrucks from getting cars away. This needs to be fixed asap
as shown in this screenshot https://prnt.sc/9BQV630fHW2s , they have been standing there the whole 60 minute shift, having gathered already 2 tow trucks behind them

The trello just indicates that the next two updates will include a lot of bug fixes, but we don't seem to have details on it. Hopefully what you describe is addressed then.

It happens to me with almost every arrest I make. The Officer just sits there sometimes gets out the van and dot move anymore and other times takes the suspect near the van but that`s it, they both just stay there.
Ambulance have the same problem, maybe not that constant but also happens.

This causes massive traffic jams and any service vehicle we call never reaches the site and it is frustrating having these bugs happening all the time for many updates now.
This is mostly why I stop playing the game for a couple of updates again.

Hopefully it’s fixed in the 9.0.0 update

I get this problem quite often when requesting backup too. Sometimes for me after a while it might clear but if I come to the problem of traffic being clogged up from it I just travel a distance from it and it will auto clear all the other officers and any traffic in the area. Its annoying but it's at least a temporary fix until the devs fix the problem.

Agreed. Plus, you still get all of your points once you drive far enough away from the area. Say for an accident where the driver was DUI and got stuck at the arrest vehicle, drive away from the scene and be done with it, you will see the report come thru.

We do get some points but I`m not sure how that works. It´s just the animations that get stuck or the entire further processing of the situation?!
Unless it was changed there was a chance of the suspect to escape if we wonder too far without the backup being there grabbing him/her. Those times when the backup never reaches the scene or wont get out the vehicle are situations I had triggering the escape.

They have to have already been captured/arrested and you would have to be waiting for the transport. Now, if you see the transport has taken the suspect but has not loaded them into the van, drive away and you will get the points. It works for me for now. 😀 until something else decides to bug 😬

true at least we get the points, on a foot patrol its just really annoying if they never leave the vehicle because that way your handcuffs dont recharge.

Ambulances and wreckers still tend to get stuck also. Sometimes they are perma-stuck even driving far away, causing traffic pathing issues.

True but Transport aswell.
I just did a 40 minutes shift, got a Minor Accident happening right when leaving the Precinct parking lot, I attended to it and got one arrest. Called the Trasnport wich got stuck around the intersection like it was stopped at red light. While stopped it had the wheels spinning like it was moving but woldn´t move to get to the scene neither the officer would come out and get the suspect.
I left the scene and went for the shift normally, meanwhile I drove all over the district for the nest 30-35 minutes and came at the end of the shift time to end it at that same precinct and the Trasnport was still there in the same place with sirens screaming(wich are really loud btw, wish the game had a slider to adjust just other vehicles sirens) and a huge traffic line on both sides of the road.

This is becoming an issue like the random vehicles stopped everywhere and anywhere that so many times wont let me pull over the cars I order. and none of the traffic hand signs do anything, it´s mostly red letters saying they can´t do what we order them to do.

Let’s hope they have a fix for it sometime soon. It is pretty annoying.

I've stopped playing because of these issues. Give them a few weeks or months, see if I care about it and ever come back. Just gonna avoid this mob in the future...

Seems to be getting worse, not better. Latest glitches that I have is, people whom I've arrested, when I drive around, they glitch out of the car, appearing like they're sitting on the trunk lid.

But there's a long list of problems with this, it's really ruining the fun of it. If something annoys you, it isn't relaxing, then what's the point in playing?

Same here, some bugs are still the same as before they left early access. Don't understand it, annoyed I gave them my money and 2 years later the bugs still remain.
