[p][/p][p]With The Quality-of-Life Update, we're bundling a bunch of smaller and larger improvements to increase the overall look-and-feel of Police Simulator: Patrol Officers.[/p][p]For example, you are able to skip conversations by pressing space – no need to listen to a citizen's voice-over any longer. In addition, a new freely floating camera mode is now available within the settings: Head over to "Settings > Game > Camera > Looking Direction" to check it out![/p][p]We've also introduced several new illegal items and drug states, leading to much more comprehensive tests. Citizens will now be picked up by a tow truck if their car gets towed: NPCs will enter it and drive off. Our team has also adjusted the light setup for police cars, ensuring much brighter and more visible lights both at day and at night.[/p][p][/p]What has changed with Open Beta #2?
