Hey everyone! One of our most highly anticipated updates is now live for you all to begin testing and reporting bugs on the unstable staging branch. This update is another major update for Montgomery County to bring a Mack Engine, 4 New Mutual Aid Units, MCPD units revamped, uniform customization new ems calls & More. A full change log can be found below. This month was very busy with some personal time off and working on my side project which is now released for IOS, PC and Mac and coming to android in the next few days: "EmergeNYC Sirens & Horns" which you can find lots more information and links to below at the bottom of the page. This was an important project to me which I felt like needed to be done for the many many people who want to use the game's sirens but cannot play the game for whatever reasons. Now that this side project is complete I am able to return all of my focus back to the core game and the issues that need to be fixed. I hope you guys enjoy these new units and calls and expect more new calls, Rescue Update mechanics, and gameplay and performance improvements to continue being added in the coming days, and weeks.

EmergeNYC Sirens & Horns brings the unmistakable sounds of Emergency Vehicles to your fingertips. Ever wanted to wind up the mechanical siren or hold down the air horns on a firetruck? These same sounds are used in our realistic firefighting simulator on PC “EmergeNYC” on Steam Early Access. EmergeNYC Sirens gives you that ability with real to life sounds that are so accurate you can’t differentiate from the real thing. Our standalone PC EmergeNYC Sirens App is able to run in the background of other tasks and you can assign hotkeys for you to use these hyper-realistic sounds while playing other games such as

Firefighting Sim
Emergency 4
Roblox
GTA
Farming Simulator
Notruf 112
Beam NG
Police Simulator
Flashing Lights
Into the flames

You name it.

Me and LC are super excited to announce that our EmergeNYC Sirens & Horns Pro app is now live for IOS/PC & Mac and awaiting approval for publishing on the Google Play Store. This is my first mobile project so it has been a learning process but I am really happy to see that it has taken off before the release was even announced. Thanks to some overnight Viral Tiktoks about the app we have already reached #1 paid entertainment and #9 of ALL top paid apps on the app store.

The app has all of the sirens and horns from our successful early access emergency services simulator.
This includes our famous wind up Q Sirens and Electronic Sirens and over 30 different high quality looping Air horns

Some notes

A 3$ Basic and watered down version of the app will go live soon
The app will receive frequent updates on all platforms with fixes, improvements and additional sounds.
The google play store is still reviewing the app and we don't know how long that will take.

Hey guys! I took 2 weeks off earlier this month to deal with the burnout from release and post-release. While I was away LC worked crazy hard and took time to bring his vision to life by recreating his home town of Montreal in the game and some of the units they run up there. We decided we could use these units as Mutual aid units in Montgomery County that will spawn at the tunnel entrances. These skins are place holders until we create the fictional Mutual aid unit skins. There are 2 new Engines, a new Quint, and a new Rescue unit in Montgomery County in the upcoming update. One of the engines is the highly awaited old Mack truck. More of these old school units will come to the NYC maps in the throw back update at a further date. MCPD also has had a major revamp by LC. Since I got back I’ve been working on Memory leaks, bug fixes, optimizations, and multiplayer issues. The next update will contain all these new units as well as overall improvements to the game. No eta yet but we are not dragging this one out. Hope to have it ready to go before June. Stay tuned!

Update 0.9.1G is live on all branches and patches some game breaking issues like not being able to refill in the lake, SCBA Mask not stopping smoke damage, and some other issues. Keep in mind if you use the call menu in MP it may desync your random emergencies. If you only use the MDT or only use the Call menu the syncing will be fine, but if you try to use both, players may get different emergencies. This will be patched soon as I am working on fixing it.

0.9.1G Changelog:

Fixed not being able to refill aircraft in lakes in MC
Fixed taking smoke damage even with SCBA on
Added Spotlights to PD Cars (L to turn on/off, arrow keys to aim)
Fixed Fire Academy Scenarios to be synced now
Removed lag spike from spawning characters due to minimap icon initializing
Fixed engine 1 manual siren again
Added new Q Siren to be affected by siren volume slider
Removed vent fans temporarily

0.9.1F is live. A few fixes for some issues that were reported. Some known issues I will be patching next is emergency desync in Multiplayer when using the call menu, (they work fine with the MDT forcing and clearing) and not being able to refill in the lake in MC.

LC added 4 new and improved Q Sirens on 111 Old, Rescue 2, Engine 1, and Engine 78 New
Fixed Police text showing up and replacing current UI

Since release a few game breaking bugs have plagued multiplayer sessions. Random disconnects, major frame drops followed by a crash or disconnect have been addressed. All of these still need extensive testing but after testing in large games and being able to track down the problem, I believe I have fixed that and overall made Multiplayer much more playable. There is still a lot of work to be done and other things in Multiplayer. Other fixes have been made in these patches as well.

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.
