Hello,

 

is it me or is anyone else experiencing this issue? Sometimes, when I've been patrolling for a while and have conducted quite a few traffic stops, I'm not able to stop anybody else anymore. The Shift key suddenly stops respodning and I can't blip any vehicle. This very often follows after using speed checker (traffic policer script) prior to it. And sometimes it seems to happen after a callout. It seems to be so random though, even though the callout was ended successfully and there were no issues with it, the traffic stop refuses to blip a vehicle.

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

I've never experienced this.  It sounds to me like your previous traffic stop didn't actually end.  Try cancelling the traffic stop next time and see how it responds.

What do you mean by cancelling? I can cancel a traffic stop and when I do so, I can normally conduct another afterwards.

I mean when you blip someone and pull them over, you can press shift again to cancel the stop.  It sounds to me as if when the traffic stop ends normally, it's not actually ending.  When you finish up a traffic stop, press shift and just verify it has ended.

That's what I meant, yeah. Shall I then try pressing shift during every traffic stop (after the driver has been dealt with) to make sure?

Yes, although doing it every single time isn't really a good solution.  I mainly want you to do it one or two times, and verify if that works or not.

I've been now playing for a while, tried different situations and kept pressing shift at the end of every traffic stop. It obviously never really canceled anything since the driver always drove away after issuing a warning or a ticket. I've also tried cancelling it mid traffic stop, which worked always fine. It got cancelled and I could stop somebody else right away. I've tried using speed checker again and all worked fine. Then I pulled behind a driver who was on his phone (created by traffic policer), stopped him, got him a ticket for using a mobile device (through patrol toolkit updated with traffic offenses), then issued a warning through lspdfr+ traffic stop menu so that he could go away (you have to do that if you're using patrol toolkit since the two are not really connected together), he drove off, I got back in my vehicle, pressed shift again (just to make sure) and after this stop I could no longer stop anybody else.

I've never used patrol toolkit, so I don't know if that would interfere. How long has this been a problem?

For long, Patrol Toolkit has nothing to do with it, I've downloaded it just recently. I had this issue even before I had patrol toolkit.

You said the issue usually starts after using speed checker. What if you don't use it? still happening?

Well there is not a single time I wouldn't use it while playing, I always use it at some point. It usually happens when I'm using it, when a flag or speed over the limit comes up I disable it and try to stop the vehicle and sometimes it doesn't work as I described. But yes, even if I don't use speed checker and just want to stop someone, there are times when I suddenly can't do that. This was also this case, I didn't use speed checker to catch the driver on his phone.

Temporarily remove Traffic Policer.  Lets verify if it is the issue.

I will, but it really takes quite some time for the problems to appear, usually over half an hour. It's too late now (in Europe), could we do this tomorrow? Thank you very much for your quick replies and all the help and support :).

Yes we can, no worries!  Goodnight, and good luck. :)

I've been having this same problem for as long as I can remember. Like OP said, it will work perfectly for X amount of time, then suddenly stop working. I have TrafficPolicer installed, but it has been doing this before I installed that. Reloading Plugins mid game doesn't seem to fix it either, the only way to make it work again is to relaunch the game. Not sure what it could be that's causing it. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has this problem.

yes, happens once in awhile, usually do a 'clean world' from F4 menu every once in awhile, tried that?

I feel like I tried it before but I'm not sure. I'll give it a try later and see what happens. Thanks
