Traffic Accidents only - anybody else?

[Pacco]

Since i am finding surprisingly little about it - and i really, really, wanna enjoy this masterpiece again.
Is anybody else having the issue that there are ONLY traffic accidents? None of the content that was available in early access seems to be working. Is it just me? If yes - anybody knows how to fix that?

I've played extensively after the latest patch. As far as I can tell, there *are* other callout types, but the accidents are definitely overrepresented.

Nevertheless, some callout types don't seem to occur anymore, for example the updated crime scenes and the DUI checkpoints.

In addition, I barely encounter pedestrian violations anymore -- I haven't seen a sprayer or a litterbug in ages -- whereas there is an insane amount of driving violations like driving with underglow.

So yeah, playing the game is a bit dull at the moment due to the restricted selection of callouts and violations. I wonder if they'll fix in in the next patch.

I hope they do fix it. But glad to hear i am not alone. I am not sure how to feel about the devs. I don't want to believe that they just focus on new things while the main game doesnt work. Thanks for your answere tho.

I usually play more as a traffic division type cop in game. With that said, I still get quite a few callouts to drug dealers and crime scenes.

One thing I've noticed with the recent patch. Civilian cars crashing into accidents if you don't block off the lanes touching the crash. Using you car, cones or the barricade. Also crashes a random event too. I'm just doing a foot patrol and ticketing illegally parked cars, next thing you know I see cars flying across my screen. I'll even see cars crashing into other cars that are located on call locations while I'm pulling in! I would see some crazy random crashes but nothing like that frequency.

Wonder if it's a quietly added feature for thr HP expansion.

As for stuff like DUI checkpoints and a callout that is just a traffic stop, never had those.

Everything else like Vandals and wallet thieves tend to be random events.

From personal experience, the DUI checkpoints/traffic stops were ALWAYS bugging out.

The car you were supposed to check, wasn't always parking at the side of the road. Sometimes when you were letting the driver go, they would go into their car, and simply stay idle, while the wheels of the car were turning.
Making the mistake to stop another car while that was happening, would make said car to freeze mid-way, doing absolutely nothing, halting the entire callout.

Calling backup to arrest someone, was ending with the police van freezing mid way with the siren on, blocking all traffic, and cars that were going through the checkpoint, simply stop, so there was no progress at all.

So perhaps said checkpoints have been "disabled" until a fix is done.

Edit: It's been a while since I last played this game, so I started a "clean" career yesterday. Callout incidents have been dramatically reduced, same thing for jaywalkers/litterers, but they're there.

Will forward this for a check, ty.

I'm having this same issue. It's pretty annoying honestly. Gonna uninstall, and reinstall and I'll let you know how that goes.

I haven't played the game in a while got caught up on other games, but some of the stuff some are talking about have been moved around around alot to make room for new features that unlock at the higher level. At the begining level you get minor accidents and the stuff unlocks and the level goes higher, certain things you want are unlocked in certain district with the proper about of points, but once unlocked can happen anywhere as long as you have the vehical and tools to do them.

So after the Hotfix i did realize SOME changes.

I did get one or two callouts for a wanted person and one transportation of an arrested person. The callouts are more frequently but still 99% are accidents.
Reinstalling didnt do the magic.
I also checked for locked features, but i am at 16 Stars -ish and i definitly should have more than accidents unlocked.
Also the "mission" you get when starting a new shift is always the same (radar gun, checking for speeders) - as far as i remember this is one of the first tasks. maybe the game got "stuck" there and doesnt continue?

I tried starting a new career (that was before the latest patch) and the same thing occured.

Let's see what the next patch will do. Devs seem to be working on the Bugs, thats a good thing i guess :P

Regarding to the crime scenes, it seems that only some districts have them spawning. Don't recall their name, but I think it was in 2 areas in the southern districts.

Hey, FYI, here's a note from yesterday's update:

"We have fixed the technical reason why some callouts have not been appearing any longer. However, we still need to tweak it a little bit to find the right balance of frequency. For that, we will have to playtest quite extensively with different balancing values to find something that feels and plays good. Details will follow soon!"

No worries, you're welcome :)

I mean, no one likes to experience issues, same here. I mean, I for example play the game in my freetime with friends as well and it's not like I just wouldn't notice that :)
