- Update 0.9.8B is live! (Black Screen Issue & Chainsaw bug fixed) - 30 January 2024
Update 0.9.8B is live to fix two of the most reported issues. The next few updates will include new building fires setup with the new system as well as more fixes to reported issues. We are also aware of a lot of users crashing on loading due to running out of memory. Lowering your texture resolution in the main menu in settings can help alleviate this issue. Also if your game starts in windowed mode and low resolution, hit Alt+Enter to maximize the game window and go to settings to set your resolution. Hit apply and then save. Thanks for your patience! Fixed screen going black after 20 minutes fighting a fire with the new fire system Fixed pressing 6 with a chainsaw holstered not allowing you to equip the chainsaw
- Update 0.9.8 - Revolutionary New Fire/Smoke Simulation & Procedural Emergencies - 25 January 2024
https://youtu.be/W4LLnbEa_us 0.9.8 is live on all branches! A change log of all of the bug fixes and improvements can be found below. Revolutionary New Fire & Smoke Simulation Introducing a new realistic physics based fire simulation system powered by AI. This system allows for an ultra realistic fire and smoke simulation within EmergeNYC. Currently it is set up on all car fires, manhole fires, all new non structural fires and a small selection of building fires as I still have to convert each building fire to use this new system. Fire and smoke collides with walls, ceilings and more allowing for realistic simulation of smoke accumulation in a building and through rooms. I had to also redesign how you take smoke/fire damage. The new system uses a volume for each room in the fire and calculates smoke density and temperature as well as your proximity to the fire to calculate damage to the…

I apologize for the lack of a patch in the last few days, I've been spending a lot of time trying to debug and reproduce several reported issues.

In the mean time, here are some fixes for other issues I was able to figure out. 0.9.5O Fixed the character camera zooming into the back in certain firehouses and near certain triggers Lowered path generation time for AI taking a while sometimes when telling them to do an action (There still seems to be a bug every now and then where they wont do an action unless you get them closer to the destination, another issue with the pathfinding) Fixed the dredge ambulance not returning home or being able to move after picking up a patient Fixed Ladder 175 not…

Hey guys, thanks for your patience as I sort the remaining issues out. A lot of collision based issues arose in the last few patches as I had been tweaking the collisions and physics interaction layers to make selecting characters and vehicles easier, it seems to have messed with a bunch of mechanics and caused all sorts of issues.
