It's a great work, but if you can solve problems from cars, cause some Cars when I put the "don't turn left" signal, some cars do it anyways making so much traffic

For issues like this, we'll need the save so we can investigate the specific case where it happens. It would be very much appreciated, if you save the city with the camera looking at the intersection having issues and then make a report on the support forum with any details on what you're seeing and what you've tried.

Is this the final patch of this year?

We'll have to see how testing progresses on the next round of fixes and improvements. I recommend following CO Word of the Week for updates on where we are and what you can expect.

Does this patch actually fix exports?

It addresses the bugs we discovered, but as always with simulation fixes, the city may need to run for a while before you see the effects. It's also worth mentioning that transportation costs play a role in if/how companies export, so if the cargo building is far away, it may be cheaper to export by truck or reduce production to the local demand. That said, we of course want to know if you're still experiencing issues with goods exporting or being transported around the city.

Police not solving crime was not resolved?

No changes to crime in this patch. If the issue has already been reported on the bug forum, then we'll investigate it as soon as we get a chance.

Is the post sorting facility actually working?

Yes, at least it should be according to our tests. Like always with simulation fixes, it may take a little while for it to take effect in your city, and if you're still having issues, please let us know in the existing report on the bug forum.

I loaded an existing saved game, my city has no mailboxes, then placed more Post offices but Im not seeing any of them send out any post vans to collect from buildings directly. Same with the Sorting Centre? Ran the game in fast forward for 5 minutes.

Does it require a new game for a lot of these changes to work?

Existing saves should also be included in the fix, but it would be super helpful to know if you're not seeing this in a new city either. In any case, it would be great to have a report on this on the bug forum, so we can look into whether there's a specific situation in your city that the fixes don't address.

I don't want to be the guy that just comes in to rain on this parade, but it still bothers me that there is no way of disabling traffic violations at all. I get the design choice of a "pathfinding penalties" system, but I can't be the only one thinking that some pathfinding choices shouldn't be an option regardless of how inconvenient any other route is, especially illegal turns and restricted access lanes.

If you're seeing the traffic behave in ways that seem unintentional, please save the game with the camera looking directly at the problem intersection/vehicles and make a report on the bug forum. This is the best way for us to look into situations that may need adjusting.

What does this mean? When i log in game, it will remove let's say 40% of warehouses.

There is a problem when industry refuses to spawn any further when you have level 5 + high land value. It is this topic : Softlocking industry. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...ng-itself-out-of-industrial-district.1606564/

Is this fixed, or is it getting abit worse, when the warehouses, few of them will be vacant. (more buildings for rent).

The changes to how many storage buildings spawn only affect newly zoned areas, your existing storage companies will still stick around in your city, but you likely won't see any new ones for a while, since your city has more than what the new balance aims for. As for the problems with high land value, those are currently being looked into, but I'm afraid it's too early for an update.

two questions regarding these fixes:

what are prefabs in game?

And the increase of siren range, is that just an audio adjustment or does the siren make other cars/pedestrians in its AoE do something?

Prefabs are game objects configured and ready for use. Typically they're called "assets" in the community and include things like buildings, trees, roads, etc.

The changes to the sirens are an audio adjustment as the sirens were not playing when they were intended to do so.

Just a reminder to everyone that bugs need to be reported on the bug report forum. It's helpful to get an update here, but we can't keep track of your reports in threads like this, so please make sure to report the issues you run into or contribute to existing reports on the same issue. Thank you.
