Hi

Are you using normal endless game or challenge mode for your MP session? I know with some mods I play the challenge mode crashes after a small amount of game play time.

Thanks for the reply.

I had the issue even with Windows 7 but still between AMD and NVIDIA though. I will try a driver update first as that will be the easiest thing to do, then will mess with the settings on that version. If that doesn't work will try an older driver and keep the both drivers available to swap between if needed.

I recall a complaint (not sure 100% about it) that windows 10 would often try to "update" drivers on it's own without asking

I don't use 10 so I'm not sure if it's possible to turn off the auto-update driver function or not, if so I'd strongly urge you to do so and manually update them when you wish to deal with the conflicts that often result.

General point for anyone who sees this using Windows 10 and didn't know themselves. I haven't found a way to outright disable Windows 10 updates on Windows 10 home edition (Other version do have a setting to disable them). The only way I have found is to set my internet connection as metered. Windows 10 will not download updates as it will think you have a data cap. Wifi connections can be set to metered from the WiFi settings you have access to. Ethernet connections have to have a registry edit to toggle them between metered and not metered. 

Hi all

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere I did try searching but found no results for my particular scenario. My desktop PC seems to struggle handling emergency vehicle lights whereas my laptop does not. I would say the only major hardware between the two that could cause this would be the graphics card (Desktop uses AMD and Laptop has a Nvidia). I will also post a dxdiag for both systems. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if there are any suggestions people could offer please.

Thanks

Does anyone know the problem of wye? I just can connect the hose from truck to wye, and i cant connect another line out...

A wye can only be deployed by the LA mod firefighters still in the game.

Multiple Wyes cannot be connected together to form an infinite extension. However multiple wyes can be deployed by one engine.

Procedure for deploying a wye:

1. Equip a firefighter with a hose and connect to the engine.
2. Move that firefighter to where you want the wye deployed and then deploy it.
3. Equip another two firefighters with hoses and then attach them to the wye.

See attached screenshot (Please notify if you want it scaling down for the thread) for how this would look and I hope this helps

Hi all

Don't want to but probably will sound like a noob but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the:

BAE uniform option is and what's it used for, and also what the Sector Commander role is please.

I have tried searching myself but was only able to find ranks such a crew manager e.t.c not the more in depth roles.

Thanks.

That's cool, also just a general query does the RAC Drink Water command replenish health or is it just an aesthetic touch?

That's not right at all, I've been playing multiplayer being the client and I can perfectly attach and disattach hoses.

The only thing I found to solve this is:

In the scene, get all the firemans out of the truck and select the one which is different. Then get a hose and click the hidrant and the truck. That man do not use it until you're ready to go. Then disconnect the hose with the chauffeur by clicking on the engine. It's important that you connect the engine to the hydrant with the chauffeur, otherwise it won't work.

Hope this helps.

Ahh that could have been it, I attached the hose hydrant to engine with a normal firefighter and then disconnected with the chauffeur and it turned my chauffeur into a normal firefighter , will make sure it is connected by the chauffeur only aswell then.

So i can safely say this game is absolutely awesome! have played it for hours without many issues but there are a couple. satellite 6 has the limited water script but cant be hooked up to anything, which this unit is crucial to put out fires in the sporadic inaccessible locations that pop up from time to time (possibly make this unit have to hook up to engine 207 for realism?). I have had issues with the chauffeur, either him loosing the ability to unhook the hose after a while of game play and as another member said the wye is bugged (it always has been since the LA mod).

Hi, I only used the wye once and it worked fine for me (What is the know issue/s with the wye as I have never ecountered one?). Also regarding the chauffeur if he does loose the ability to unhook the hose between the hydrant and engine try using the equip bunker gear option which puts him into wearing shorts as this fixed the issue with me when I had it.

----------------------------

Another note on the chauffeur is when in a multiplayer session only the hosts can hook and disconnect engines to and from hydrants, clients can't (my above fix might solve the issue but never tried it for this scenario).

Hope this helps with something at least .

Lowering your graphics work well like dyson said lowered mine down to 600×800 and lowered or turn off depth etc when game boot up then u put, your graphics back to regular settings works like a champ for me its the v3.0.3 where can i get a clean download of the 3.0.1 0r 3.0.2?

Is this just your in game settings or do you change your normal dekstop settings aswell?

Also when you say when game boots up do you mean the main menu or the actual free play session?

Thanks.

Do you have to install the ladder first or something?  I can't seem to be able to hook up Tower 21 to a supply line...

Yes it Tower 21 needs to be installed then hooked upto a hydrant

I have one question:

 

What purpose do the ladders actually serve in the mod?  For me, they don't hook up to a water supply, so I can't use them for firefighting.  I just use them for extra manpower really...just wanted to see if there's something I'm missing! 

Ladder 21 can hook upto a water supply to deal with a fire however when you finish the incident the game thinks it is out of water and you have to send off map and recall to map to stop getting the empty tank messages (Unless this was fixed in 3.0.3) Ladder 4 however cannot hook up to a hydrant at all.

Hi all.

First of all thanks Raf and Dyson, awesome mod. Also Merry Christmas to everyone.

Couple of minor issues/bugs (Don't affect me much just thought I would mention them)

As Tactical Rooster said above there is the occasional incident where casualties can't be lifted I haven't noticed it since I reinstalled the mod after a Hard Drive crash myself though but I did experience it.

Also once I have used fire hoses and drop them the FFs seem to bug when going to use them again. I have to equip extinguishers and then hoses.

I have a laptop with Hybird GFX (Both an Intel and Nvidia) does anyone know if Normal version would work? Just before I download and transfer everything to my laptop over a rubbish network lol.

I noticed I get a major drop in FPS when I have vehicles selected. As soon as I deselect them the game runs smooth.

 Another reason to have a few tow trucks patrolling.

 

I know this isn't necessarily a perfect system, but until em4 runs on a better engine where AI is smart enough to drive properly, it'll have to do

 

Hope this is of some help!

This reminds me, I get a bug where I set vehicles on patrol and they get locked at patrol speed (Changing to speeds 1,2 or 3 do not change the speed to respond to incidents after a patrol) So I have to send them to HQ and bring a new vehicle onto map. This bug isn't too bad for tow trucks but PD on patrol will take forever to get to a crime/incident.

Note: This is on normal V3 not tried on the SD version will do now and update

Update: This also occurs on SD version so on both I just station cars around the map and not patrol for now.

Update 2: Just noticed when I click send to HQ it forces the car out of patrol speed and you can change speeds again although to have to click Return to HQ after every patrol and then direct it to an incident.

Couple of possible suggestions for CTD issues (They won't completely get rid of them but it might lessen them). My mum and sister play The Sims and that kept crashing to desktop on them. I updated their GFX drivers as well as Direct X and that seemed to stabalize the game for now. I know some people have updated drivers so might be worth trying a Direct X update to see if this helps with EM4 CTDs.

Also I use the contig file from Microsoft which is a single folder defragger which will arrange all your EM4 files to be together on your Hard Drive this might also make the game more stable aswell.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb897428.aspx

Unzip the contig file to your EM4 directory

Create a shortcut to the contig file.

Open the properties of the created shortcut and add a -s to the end of the Target line (Mine looks like: "C:\Games\Emergency 4\Contig.exe" -s)

Then run the contig from the created shortcut.

Hi all, love this mod as I am from the UK. Just wondering if any vehicle in this mod is the crane/recovery vehicle as I still get a traffic accident in the bottom right corner of the map the requires the crane to rescue a car from the water but I cannot find it. If there isn't could someone possibly help us add the default crane into my install (If the mod owners would allow this).

Cheers for any help you can give.

I voted yes as I always like new mods, for the new vehicles

Just as a side note to traffic problems, I have noticed that when redirecting traffic as soon as it comes onto the map then it doesn't process and the car just stops there and doesn't move.
