Contraband Police News

[h3]Comrades![/h3]

We are very grateful for your help so far.
We have received over 200 e-mails with comments and suggestions, and our team is already implementing them!
Once again, you have proven your commitment, thus contributing to ensuring the highest quality of Contraband Police.
Thank you!

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing work on an important optimization fix, we are forced to postpone the start of the second round of testing :(
Due to the scale of this change, we want it to be tested as good as possible.
In the coming days we will inform you about the new date of the second round of tests.

At the same time, we would like to inform you that the Free Mode Playtests will be extended by another week.
Thank you for your understanding and commitment so far!

Yours faithfully,
Crazy Rocks Team

We are happy to announce that the Endless Mode testing has started!

Due to the ongoing development work, we decided to divide the tests into two rounds. Half of the signed players will receive access today, while the other half will receive access on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 17:00 CEST. Thursday's update will include a new Streaming Asset System aimed at optimizing video memory use and loading times. All signed officers will be granted access to the second round of tests!

In case of any errors during the game, please contact us by email at: [email protected]


Bug Reporting Instructions:

• Please attach your game saves, you will find them in C:/Users/[UserName]/AppData/LocalLow/CrazyRocks/ContrabandPolice
  
• In case of crashes, please send your log files (".dmp" files from AppData/Local/Temp/CrazyRocks/ContrabandPolice/Crashes and files "Player.Log" and "Player-prev.log" from AppData/LocalLow/CrazyRocks/ContrabandPolice)
  
• The greatest help for our team is to provide a short gameplay video (e.g. using obs, fraps) that shows the problem. It is good that such a recording starts some time before the error occurs. However, if you decide not to record - please send screenshots (preferably several) to: [email protected]
  

Please complete the survey from the game's main menu. Your help and suggestions are always very important to us. We believe that this time too we will be able to make the new addition go smoothly.

Best,
Crazy Rocks Team

By decision of the party, in order to improve the quality of service at the border, we are opening signups for testing the new Endless Mode!

The Playtest will start on Monday 24.07 at 17.00 CEST and will last about a week. In addition to new quests and mechanics, Contraband Police got significant optimization improvements. We need to make sure that the new changes do not negatively affect the smoothness and stability of the game.

We hope that you, as experienced officers, will help us find the remaining bugs and share your thoughts on the new gameplay using the in-game survey.

In order to sign up for the Free Mode Playtest you need to select option "Request Access" at the Steam Game Page in the section "Join The Contraband Police Playtest". When the test is ready (24.07) - the option will change to "Launch Playtest"
The most deserving veterans who helped us in previous tests have already been granted access.



Glory To Acaristan!

[h3]Comrades,[/h3]

Our friends at Console Labs have been doing a great job recently, and as a result, we can finally bring full controller support to the PC version! (gamepad, steering wheel)

In addition, we are happy to announce that a new great programmer - Tomek - has joined our team and will help us with the further works on the game!

Endless mode is still in development. We decided to extend the mode with the new Most Wanted feature. On the information board you will be able to find photos of wanted criminals, who then need to be recognized and arrested.

Apart from that, we still have to add:

• The possibility of skipping training
  
• 2 new police cars (Micros, Varilla)
  
• A set of additional achievements (related to the endless mode)
  
• Outpost upgrade level 4 (10 models)
  

As soon as we deal with these tasks, the Endless Mode will be unlocked!

Best,
Crazy Rock Team

We would like to bring you the latest news from Acaristan. According to our intel, work on the Endless Mode is going great, as proof of which KGP provided us with some photos from the Border Crossing in Karikatka.







The mode will include:

• Extensive expansion of the outpost (roads, gates, garage, fences and more)
  
• 10 new police ranks
  
• Over 20 entry regulations (including additional documents)
  
• A set of new daily missions that you can perform at a convenient time (e.g. patrol the area or intercepting contraband dropped from the plane!)
  
• Improved perception system
  

By order of the General Secretary himself, our friends at Console Labs started work on a Contraband Police console version (new and old generation). Their first task is to implement gamepad support (which will also be available in the PC version).

We wish you a successful service.
