Patch Notes #9–#13
Five patch posts landed September 20–21. Verified from #13: the save-loading-crash workaround (deleting PoliceChiefSimulator_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache) is still the current advice, the Armory bug remains under work, Delivery Vehicles and the Prison Bus no longer take false infractions, the "Vehicle unavailable" radius is fixed (vehicles must be near the Station), and Nvidia Reflex/DLSS are disabled on unsupported cards. Full changelists on the Steam news hub.

Patch Notes #21
The developers state this patch most likely addresses the crash while loading a save — the bug that forced the upipelinecache workaround since Hotfix #6 — and apologize to affected players. Crash-fixing dominated the #14–#23 window.
