found another spot in L.A. this was not on the map 2 days ago because we had an event in Covina, today it appears
Please try clearing the cache of your browser (Ctrl+Shift+Del works in many common browsers) and reloading the game afterwards. Be aware to only delete your cache and not cookies, history etc.
At least, I was not able to reproduce this and get an image with this spoiled data, so I expect this to be a local caching issue.
Yes if it's 2016 its 10 years out of date, maybe ts time for an update eh Devs?
According to the devs, last update seems to have been in 2018. The team is continuously working on the upgrade-process (which is a non-trivial process). There is a steady (but unfortunately slow) progress.
=> There is no ETA when they have done the upgrade and can do an update of the data but they are working on it although with lower priority.

If the open map is editable how can I get the game to link to the new highways opened in the last year and a half, the Game shows them but the in game assets never drive on them it ignores them although they do not exist?
The game uses the OSM map data for three different purposes:
* generating missions
* routing
* map tiles
Generating map tiles is a pretty simple and straightforward process, also it is enough to generate a map tile only if requested. Map tiles of very common areas (such as for countries, many players play in). If you zoom into some rarely visited area in game (let's say somewhere in a small city in Brazil) and no one requested this map tile since last data update, then the map server has to generate the images first before they can be shown. Also this is an efficient thing and thus can be done regulary without any (negative) performance impact.
However for routing, the Routing-Server needs to have large large large amounts of data for the whole world. For map tiles, the information "this is a street of type x" is enough but for routing there are many further data required such as height restrictions, barriers etc.
That's why the routing server must precalculate all the data before it can calculate routes more or less efficiently. Sebastian (the original developer and former owner of the game) did such an update in 2016 and announced that it would take about 7 days (https://forum.leitstellenspiel…hread/8281-karten-update/). I do not know if any other update has been made since then.
However I do know that the OSRM (Open Streetmap Routing Machine) Version used in game is deprecated and some versions behind current version. That means in order to update all the routing data and do precalculations, the game team needs to update many things on their side to be compatible with the new version. I am not informed in the current state progress of this upgrade. I also expect the team to give this upgrade less priority in comparison to new features.
I do not know which data the game uses for generating missions but I expect this to be similar to the routing data.
=> There is difference between the map that is shown (which is pretty up-to-date with the OSM state) and the map data used to calculate vehicle routes (which may has received the last update in 2016).
Hope that answers your questions 
Someone spoiled OpenStreetMap Data yesterday: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/149799777
Unfortunately, exactly in the about 2 hours till the changes were reverted (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/149801026), one of the two map servers downloaded latest data from OSM and thus generated map tiles with exactly these spam data. The user who did this has already been blocked: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/15942
The game team took offline the map server with this wrong data and triggered a new update process. They will take it back online once the process has been finished. As the other map server luckily does not have these wrong data, there are no negative impacts on the game anymore.
LSSM Server crashed today and there currently is an emergency system running that has reduced services. Please consult https://status.lss-manager.de/status/lssm for up-to-date information regarding the status of LSSM.
Unfortunately, it doesn't show up in LSSM at all, as it hasn't been updated to have it, due to the issue with it not being registered as a firetruck, I believe
The new vehicles are now online at least on the Beta-Version of LSSM V.4 (you can switch to beta by selecting "beta" in the setting "version selection" in general LSSM settings). It will be online on stable with the next release but there is no ETA when this will be. Thanks for your patience and reminding us that there are users that would love to have the Content-Pack implemented 
For any further issues with LSSM, feel free to write in LSS-Manager V.4 or even DM me here in the Forum (I am not here in the Forums regulary but I have email notifications enabled for DMs 
)
Unfortunately, it doesn't show up in LSSM at all, as it hasn't been updated to have it, due to the issue with it not being registered as a firetruck, I believe
Ah, I see. That happens when a Content Update has not been implemented into LSSM yet. Unfortunately we do not have the time to implement them all ourselfes immediately so we have to rely on the LSSM-community to either implement or regulary ask 
FTR: Contribution guide can be found here: https://docs.lss-manager.de/en_US/contributing.html
We'll have a look if there is any chance that we will implement that soon but I cannot guarantee that
Something else that needs to be fixed at some point, is the Hazmat Pumper not showing up under the Firetruck tab in dispatch, which then causes an issue with LSSM
You can customize which vehicles are shown in which tab in LSSM settings. That is completely independent from what vehicle types are in which tab ingame. The little ⚠️ above vehicles list shows which vehicle types are not in any tab in your current setting but you can change that in LSSM settings
The limit has been introduces to "prevent cheating because you can move all the staff and then delete the station and then you can cheat 10 free extra staff per Week (but only if you don't use the 10 free staff for anything else)".
I don't expect XYR to undo that because of this interesting reason for introducing that limit.
Is anyone else having this reload every day requiring it to be re setup every day? I am almost ready to bin it
N.
Are you regulary clearing your cookies (e.g. automatically with closing the browser)? LSSM stores it preferences within indexedDB, which is a form of localStorage and thus emptied when cookies are cleared.
There is nothing, LSSM can do to prevent this, as this is a setting you've set in your browser.
Possible ways to improve your situation:
* Exclude missionchief from automatic cookie deletion
* Export LSSM settings and import the file every time you've restarted your browser.
There are plans to allow a serverside storage of settings to prevent this type of issue, but that has not been implemented yet and there is no ETA when that will be implemented.
My understanding is that while the devs control when they fetch an update from OSM, they have no control over whether the nodes associated with that section of the map are 100% accurate and thus able to be fed into the routing system nor any control over when OSM will update the nodes.
OSM publishes the updates to visuals of the map much earlier/faster than they do the nodes.
yeah, that's true. So we're both correct but I've just misunderstood your post
The game uses OSM (Open Street Map) - the updates to the map itself aren't controlled by the devs so sometimes OSM will show the street but not yet have valid routing info for it yet or the nodes are net setup correctly in OSM.
The Updates are controlled by the devs. The map tiles (what we see) are updated very regulary based on latest OSM data.
However the routing system that controlls how vehicles are moving isn't updated very often as updating that costs a lot of time to calculate to achieve maximum performance when finding the routes.
=> The visual map and the actual routing data are not synced as that is not really reasonably feasible.
There is no public schedule available on when the routing data has been updated the last time and when it will be updated the next time.
However: There has been updates to the adress system recently so we can be sure that they're working at the system at all, maybe that's a good sign
Jack93 you've probably placed your stations too close, missons will then spawn in a large distance. You can read more about that in the FAQ: https://xyrality.helpshift.com…wning-too-far-away/?p=all
this will allow you to quickly see what missions your own crew are at and which missions you don't have crew in attendance
You can already see that by the little Icon: An Asterisk means you've never sent a vehicle to this mission, a "person" means, you've already sent a vehicle to this mission.
Be aware: If you backalarm all vehicles from a mission, it unfortunately doesn't turn back to the asterisk.
=> there's no need for additional colo(u)rs indicating your attendance at the mission.
Howdy fellow Missionchief players!
I'm just going through my Tasks and Events, seeing what I can complete for some extra cash.I see there are a bunch of tasks on "Winter Tasks - Week 8" but I don't know how to complete them.
Obviously, I want to complete them because if you complete a few you get paid handsomely.
If anyone can help, that would be great!
These are the winter missions:
Campfire sets woodshed on fire #423
Slippery road - Car accident #424
Brawl on frozen lake #425
Person fell on ice #426
Iceskater slipped #427
Kids throwing snowballs on people and houses #428
Skid on ice #429
Hope that helps you
Have you set an own vehicle category for these two vehicles and also checked the checkbox "Only dispatch vehicle as own vehicle class. (If this box is ticked then the vehicle will only be dispatched as the custom class. If you wish to still have this vehicle dispatched as it’s original class as well, leave this unticked)" accidentally?
Heya, I've expanded quite a bit currently (285 buildings) and i've started experiencing quite a bit of "lag". Every action has gone from being near instant to taking several seconds. which is quite annoying when you are cycling through dozens of missions.
Anyone got any recommendations to speed it up? I currently run on Google Chrome
hiding the map and disabling anything on the map (vehicle routes, buildings, missions, POIs) helps a lot.
I have the issue on phone and PC of shared missions not being shown on the list, anybody else having this problem?
have you set a maximum distance in the settings? (open a dispatch center → settings → maximum distance).
It will only show missions in the list that don't exceed the set distance from one of your dispatch center. If you set it to "no limit", all missions will be shown in the list.
Display MoreIf my question sounds dumb, my apologies in advance.
I'm curious why Google Maps is used on the Mission Dispatch maps in the Android app, but OSM is used on the web and in the dispatch center of the app.
I would think that using Google Maps would reduce, if not totally eliminate, the 'road that doesn't exist', 'fireboat crossing dry land', and 'firetrucks crossing a lake without a bridge' issues.
Just a random thought on my part...
The game has been using Google Maps in it's beginnings but due to Google being a large company, that would have costed a lot with growing amount of players, thus the switch to free and open source OSM has been made.
Google Maps on Android App is available as this is some kind of natively integrated into the system (Android is a google thing) => no additional costs to use the google maps in the app as far as I know.
I don't think that using a different routing system / routing base would reduce the amount of issues at all or very much. Fireboats crossing dry land is due to they did not implement the usage of water roads (although data would be available). Vehicles "flying" happens when no route could be found that is considered "good enough", if all or most streets are integrated in OSM, then there would not be much change when switching to the big data crawling company
Can you use LSS Manager V.4 in the Android app, or is it only for the PC browser based version of the game? Sorry if this has been asked before... Kinda new here. Thanks In advance.
unfortunately, there is no way to inject Scripts into the Apps yet (that counts for all platforms: Android, iOS and Windows). However most desktop browsers do support Tampermonkey to inject Scripts (LSSM officially supports Firefox [most recommended], Chrome and Edge, all chromium based browsers should work fine too). Safari does regulary cause weird issue which is why we don't support it anymore, most stuff should still work.
On mobile devices (Smartphones and Tablets), the only way known to me is using Firefox on Android Devices. It allows installing Tampermonkey as an Add-On, which is required for LSSM to work. Be aware that LSSM is not optimized for mobile usage. Most of it should work but it may look weird at some parts.
So if you play the game in Firefox instead of the App, you can use LSSM in general.
