1.1.0 – Online and controller fixes
Hello Officers!
In this update we improved online co-op stability and controller support. Also you can now find new civilian type – monopoly of green men is finally over.
Correct localization for Custom Mission Mode was added
Fixed errors preventing proper obtainment of certain achievements
Bugs in localization and item description text displaying in some languages were fixed
“Shaky” aim bug appearing in certain situations was fixed
Readability of character-based languages was improved
Gamepad aim control got smoother
Button icons and buttons in DualShock 4/Xbox One Controller tutorial slides are now displayed correctly
You may have noticed a slower pace of the new updates lately – it was mostly due to preparing the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. And we're glad to say that the largest part of porting is left behind and we're coming back to the main game. So please stay tuned for more updates in the nearest future!
Stoneshard Is Out In Early Access!
Greetings fellow mercenaries!
Ink Stain Games and HypeTrain Digital are thrilled to announce that you’re invited to the relic hunt in the world of “Stoneshard” - a challenging turn-based RPG set in an open world with procedurally generated dungeons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwPAr4V3oK0
Stoneshard is a blend of a traditional turn-based RPG combat with brutal roguelike challenge, featuring an unrestricted character development and a complex injury treatment system.
Players who are well-acquainted with the traditional roguelike games will certainly find similarities between a classic dungeon crawler and Stoneshard - however, our game puts a larger emphasis on strategy and resource management. The game is set in a world rich with lore, which helps players immerse themselves in this setting while they explore the dangerous lands of Stoneshard.
Explore the open world of Aldor, a kingdom in ruin where danger lurks around every corner...
Our 1.0.9 patch is up, and we have quite the features in it — Custom Mission Mode, Achievements and more! Please notice, that localization for the new content is coming in days.
Custom Mission Mode
You can use Custom Mission Mode to populate The House map only with terrorists and make your own top-down Rainbow 6 Siege. Truly case-hardened officers may test their skills by playing only with civilians and fake civilians on the map. Either way have fun fiddling around with this new feature!
(Custom Mission Mode is coming for Switch in January 2020)
Quick Play
If you don’t have the time to spend choosing suspects and a map — we have a Quick Play option. Just click it and get right into action! The game will pick a random map and populate it with random suspects.
Steam Achievements
Achievements are here! Now you will get acknowledged each time you do something profound. Like forgetting your police training and blinding yourself with a flashbang! Or thinking that you can do everything yourself and detonating a bomb by cutting the wrong wire! Or ruining the crime scene by leaving bloody footprints everywhere (poor forensics team)!
Changes to Input Hot Swap
We’ve received a number of reports from players who couldn’t play properly on a keyboard because they’ve had some other controller connected. Our solution was to remove hot swap function from the missions and leave it enabled only for the Main menu. For situations when you want to switch to another controller during the mission you can use the Options menu.
Thank you for your continued support of Police Stories and serving as virtual officer! We hope you’ll continue enjoying our game. Follow our news updates here on on social media for more upcoming features! And, as always, stay frosty!

Fixed a crash when selecting the equipment for Rick in single player mode.
Fixed equipment duplication in online co-op
Fixed the issue where the chosen equipment wasn’t present in the mission

Fixed a crash occurring when the player spammed E key and mouse clicks on the equipment selection screen

Fixed the game copying the path to its executable file on the first start
Possible fixes towards game performance on integrated CPU graphics.
Of course, these are not all bugs which were reported and we continue working on fixing them!
