DISPATCHED news & patch notes

1.0.1 fixed how many calls you get. This one fixes how often you hear the same one. Fire and utility had 22 recorded calls each. Once call distribution started following your fleet, a single night burned through roughly 70% of both pools — you were hearing the same barn fire and the same burst main several times a week. 34 NEW VOICED CALLS: 18 FIRE, 16 UTILITY Same phone lines, new emergencies — a grain silo that must not be opened, a generator backfeeding into lines a crew may be working on, a care home with eleven residents who can't walk. A night now uses under 40% of each pool, in line with the medical line. Still not fixed: the console doesn't tell you clearly enough which unit a queued call needs, or that your only patrol car is forty seconds from being free. That one is next.

Several of you described the same thing in your reviews: the first half of the shift is a pleasure, and then somewhere around 3 or 4 AM the console turns into something no operator could clear. You were right. It was two bugs, not a difficulty setting. CALLS NO LONGER OUTRUN YOUR FLEET The call rate followed a fixed curve that knew nothing about how many units you had. Late in a shift it asked for more calls than your units could physically answer, so the run was already lost whatever you did. Call pressure is now derived from what your fleet can actually clear, and the late-shift load is set to what three hold slots can absorb. POLICE ARE NO LONGER BURIED Half of all calls were police calls, while you had exactly one patrol unit. P-01 drowned while fire and tech sat idle. Calls are now spread across unit types according to how much each type can handle. UNLOCKING UNITS NOW MAKES THE NIGHT HARDER, NOT QUIETER Because pressure follows your fleet, a bigger roster brings more calls. Later shifts escalate instead of getting easier — which was backwards before. The 22:00–01:00 stretch has not been touched. That part was working. Thank you to everyone who took the time to name the hour of the night in a review. That detail is what made this findable.
