Enforcer: Police Crime Action
Incoming Updates - January 27th
First I’d like to welcome the new users who have joined us in the past couple of weeks, I hope that you are all doing Mountain Valley PD proud!
Now, I have a few things to announce that we are working on over the next couple of months. We will issue perhaps two batches of updates in that time. So I’d like to detail these that will arrive in the next couple of months.
Update Batch 1
- More mission variations for each map - This will also mean that crimes will happen in different areas.
- Vehicles will pull over when using only the siren lights – Players wanted to switch on their lights to pull over drivers, so we are adding this
- The Light bar colours will be fixed
- A selection of bug fixes – these will be detailed when the update has been released
Update Batch 2
- New playable map
- One more wearable police outfit
- A new police vehicle
- More options when pulling over vehicles (perhaps a mini game suggested by the community)
- A selection of bug fixes - these will be detailed when the update has been released
We will also be adding Polish language into the game very soon too.
We are hoping to get these updates out in the next couple of months, when we nail down a specific date I will let you all know closer to the time.
All the best!
UPDATE NOW LIVE: MOTORCYCLE, FIXES AND CHRISTMAS
Hello everyone,
We have some very exciting news today. Our next major update is now live and it is a big one. Firstly we would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the last couple of months. Your comments and suggestions are fantastic and the overall community response has been great.
Before we go any further, we need to let you know that there are some steps you will need to reproduce to make sure that your old save files work with this update. We are sorry that this has to be done but some changes were made to increase performance and allow users to edit custom_data files much more easily.
Please follow this link for information on transferring your save data to the new folder. http://steamcommunity.com/app/318220/discussions/0/626329187134721584/
