Police cars don't chase in Traffic mode

    Hello,

    When using AI traffic mode with police cars that I choose myself (by spawning in a replacement), police don't give chase anymore. This used to work but something seems to have broken. When using the spawn with police option in the quick menu, the police AI still works, but when choosing and spawning police myself, the police cars I spawn in just act like civilian cars. The game doesn't seem to recognize that the police cars are police cars.

    This bug happens in both safe mode and with the mods I use.

    Please help, as setting up custom traffic for chases is really fun and has been how I've been playing this game most of the time.

    @Fluffy Panda Just letting you know that I posted my support ID in the thread. I haven't heard from anyone in a while.

    I'm sorry for a delayed response. Missed it :(

    Please try the following:
    If the issue persists:
    • Open your Userfolder (Launcher → Manage User Folder → Open in Explorer)
    • Press Alt + ↑ to navigate one level up
    • Find the folder with the latest version of the game and rename it to create a backup (for example, 0.23 backup)
    • The game will create a new folder and then you'll be able to move your mods one by one until you find the broken one.
    Please do not move all your mods at once, as you may miss the broken mod.

    I've already tried verifying my game files and running the game without mods, the issue is still there. Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.

    Did you try to rename your Userfolder?

    I just tested again and it seems to work but only for stock police configs where I don't change anything. If I try to change the livery, give it glass tint, save the vehicle as a custom vehicle and spawn it, it only acts as a civilian vehicle, not a police car. This is after renaming the userfolder as you suggested.

    Yeah the game used to treat a vehicle as police as long as it has the light bar, but it doesn't work anymore

    I forwarded this issue to the team ;)

    So let me share a quick solution:

    Create a vehicle configuration and use `police` in its name. Example: my_car_police.

    `police` can be used anywhere in the configuration name
