Hey everyone! This patch is to address issues from the last build and fix most of the things that broke after flattening the Montgomery County map like traffic, floating objects and emergencies. Below you can find the changelog of all that we fixed. Also to note we synced Smoke, Charring, Dynamic Destruction, and Fire Sounds for Multiplayer Clients so now the host and clients should see the same effects. (Previously only the host saw all effects and clients only saw fire and steam particles) there have been some other Multiplayer bug fixes which you can find below including syncing the fire victim move patient to stretcher so transport can be synced. This is not synced for car accident victims in multiplayer till next patch. We want to get the EMS foundational bugs fixed so we can begin to populate all maps with many more ems calls and variety. Many other fixes were done and this should improve your overall experience with the game. More patches will continue to follow these to fix remaining Multiplayer, EMS, and AI issues.

I've bought our Trello back to life and will now be using it for my bug tracking and will allow you guys to see real time info on what tasks I'm working on as well as what's been finished and what is planned for future updates. Its essentially a short term road map. Here is the link : https://trello.com/b/WjeqOEsL/emergenyc-development-map

We have decided to say so long to the outdated version of EmergeNYC on the default branch and now bring everyone up to speed on the latest build. Update 0.9.1 is now live on ALL branches.

This update we wanted to try to address some major road blocks in our way of moving forward as well as did some improvements across the board. One of the most reported feedback is that the Montgomery map is too treacherous and hilly so we did a complete facelift of the map to flatten it by 60%. It is essentially the same map but the terrain and roads have been flattened to make driving so much easier.



We wanted to address the main issues with AI and EMS being bugs like your QI trucks getting stuck on a building or other truck. When is situations like this now the AI will just teleport to its final destination instead of never showing up. We fixed issues with Patients spinning while on the stretcher and causing issues while driving the ambulance. All EMS Calls should now be able to be played through with little to no issues. We will continue to fix and update EMS and AI as we move forward.

New Vehicles and major vehicle changes! Check out the full change log below

Hotfix Changelog:

Fixed code to set all hoses to 2D by default unless 3D Hoses are enabled
Fixed an issue where most units would not drive forward
Fixed a repetitive error with the fire ambulance siren
Fixed an error in the fire script
Fixed an issue where roto rays would not light up last build

We've decided to move the staging branch into a development build status. The only downside to a development build is that whenever an error is thrown it will show up in red letter in a console on the bottom left.

The console is scripted to be closed every frame however if there is a repetitive script error running every frame it will stay showing the errors. The benefits to using development builds is that any script changes or fixes we do can be patched to the steam branches in a matter of 5-10 minutes over the 3 1/2 hours it takes to make the same fixes on a full build. Other benefits include being able to profile the development builds with Unity to profile for lag and spikes. Certain other changes and fixes such as fixes and changes to vehicle prefabs, emergencies, scenes etc need to have a full build redone as they are not included in script only builds. However many things are fixable through simply scripting a fix and can be patched in minutes with a development build. No more needing to wait hours for simple script change hotfixes.

What to do if an error is repeating in the console and won't disappear: click open output log and scroll to the bottom of the log to see which error is repeating its self and send it on any of our forums for me to fix the error and patch it.


LC has been behind the scenes improving upon the current MC units. The most significant change is his changes on Engine 2 to turn it into a Rescue Engine with extra tools and equipment. While doing so he went ahead and gave them a new color scheme and decals + lighting. He also experimented with Engine 1's color scheme which is not final and subject to change depending on the feedback from you guys. The fire chief SUV was given a maroon color. With all of these changes it made me wonder if I should implement a customization option for the fire units in MC to change things like the color schemes and siren + lighting packages. Let me know what you guys think of the idea.

NOTE KNOWN ISSUE WITH TRUCKS BEING STUCK AFTER GETTING IN. BEING PATCHED AT 3PM EST. WORKAROUNDS IN THE MEANTIME: 1. GET OUT AND THEN BACK IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WORKS. 2. CLICK THE TRUCK FROM RTS CAMERA.



In this patch my goal has been to add to and improve the quality settings menu to allow players, especially people having trouble running the game, to modify or toggle certain settings that are performance intensive in hopes that they can get improved performance with some of these changes. I also improved upon the Quality option which now are presets and effect all settings including the new ones. For example Very Low preset will disable things such as shadows, dynamic destruction, 3D Hose, charring effects, and lower your texture quality, while the ultra preset will max all those settings. Presets can be applied and then modified to exclude or lower specific settings. Optimization was another key goal in this patch and several optimizations were made. Along with these changes, several bugs have been addressed which can all be found below. We plan on continuing to optimize and improve the hose system, fix problematic bugs and start slowly shifting our attention to fixing the main multiplayer issues, EMS issues, and AI issues. Thanks for all your support! Were 1 week since the release of the update on the staging branch and already have 100+ fixes, changes, and optimizations logged over 6 different patches since. We don't plan on stopping!

*Tiny hotfix to fix script error with supply lines for this patch going live in 3 hours from the time this was posted*

Added new options under visual settings for toggling charring effects (glow/black char on walls where there is or was fire)
Added quality presets that affect all settings including the ones above, which should transfer over between scenes
Added option to use roll up doors on Engine 1 with C hotkey

Community Screenshots Highlights

Hotfix 0.9.0E is live and addresses the excessive amount of memory used causing issues with many players crashing when trying to load one of the larger maps with Full Resolution Textures. Before 0.9.0E the average RAM usage with all units spawned in and a fire loaded in Manhattan was 24GBs of Ram being used. Now that number has fallen to 15GBs in the same conditions. I went through every texture and sound file, and resized files that needed to be compressed and reduced in size while making sure essential and important textures and sounds kept their integrity. Also in this patch are more optimizations, bug fixes, multiplayer sync fixes and additions. Now that the memory usage has been addressed we are going to continue digging deep into the game to find root causes of performance issues and continue to optimize the game while beginning to address more Multiplayer issues, EMS issues and improving other things like the hoses. Thank you all for your patience through this testing phase and we promise more timely patches that continue to improve the stability and playability of the game.

Testing is going great, we are finding lots of issues and getting them addressed quickly as well as discovering a wide range of different performance across different systems. We are working quickly to get patches out to address your bug reports and things will be moving much quicker now that I'm back home in NYC as of today. Overnight I've published two builds. 0.9.0C and a hotfix to address some game breaking issues that came with that patch. We will continue getting more bugs fixed and optimizations done with more daily patches this week and weekend and hope to resolve the need for 32GBs of RAM with Full Res textures by resizing a lot of textures that do not need to be high quality,
this will take a few days and then we will shift our focus onto getting Multiplayer stable and smoother as well as polishing the EMS issues and creating more EMS Calls. I hope you all continue to play and enjoy the update!

This is a TESTING branch meaning you will still find bugs, lag spikes, and possible crashes. The game is also still in pre-alpha early access. We are working around the clock and the game will be patched daily with fixes for bugs and other issues reported by the community to continue to improve the playability, stability, and performance. Things will start moving very quickly from this point on and we are super excited to finally have everyone try out the largest update to the game yet. 2 significant patches are already live in the first 6 hours since release. Change logs for those can be found all the way below.

A series of new tutorial videos will be going up tomorrow to introduce some of the new mechanics to players.

Please report bugs, crashes, and other feedback on our discord where we are always active and in touch with our community and if you want or need immediate help: https://discord.gg/5mhbgJh
