Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Review (WiccanWhims)

Editing to add: Just read their plans for a new "Quality of Life" update that includes NO fixes to game-breaking bugs, but it does include a shiny new vehicle for their paid DLC. Greedy team. Game's a scam. Don't waste your money.
Starting with a TLDR - I love this game, but right now it's too buggy for me to recommend to others.
I've had this game since Early Access and don't get me wrong... I absolutely love this game. BUT here's the problem... I've been running into MORE bugs NOW than I did when I played in EA. I keep seeing people vandalizing with graffiti and go to detain them only for them to suddenly fall to the ground and be a witness to a robbery (I don't even have the robbery call out yet). People sitting on benches aren't sitting ON the bench, but clipped THROUGH the bench and they're also injured witnesses to a robbery that hasn't happened, scattered throughout the city. People are driving their cars from the roof of their vehicle. And now, the third day in a row I've played, it's suddenly become unplayable. I'll be talking to a citizen for various reason (wanted person, accident witness, detained for drinking in public) when all of a sudden, I can no longer speak to ANYONE. I can't complete the arrest for a wanted person, I can't give people their accident reports, I can't ask someone to move to the sidewalk. Zero interaction. Plus, this latest bug seems to be paired with a double dialogue bug where my officer is telling them "I'm issuing you a ticket for littering" while simultaneously saying "I have to issue you a ticket for littering." The replies are doubled as well "Oh no, not that" on top of "Well that just ruined my day."
They also still haven't fixed the issues with traffic and traffic jams surrounding accidents that have been occurring since accidents were added in EA! Tow trucks still won't move forward to pick up cars because the car that I called the tow truck for are blocking them and because the tow truck won't move, the ambulance won't come forward enough to pick up the injured people which means the backup I called to pick up my arrested parties isn't moving either.
Aside from that last bug, none of these other bugs seemed to be an issue when I picked the game back up three days ago, so I don't understand why they're suddenly here now. At first, I thought it was a memory leak issue, but when closing and relaunching didn't fix it, I figured that can't be the problem. And then the bugs started immediately during today's play session. I verified my files and it's still happening.
So clearly, the developers have made their DLCs, milked the game for all they can, and gave up. It's clear they don't care about making a functional game. I will GLADLY update my review if they decide to get their act together and make an effort to fix the game, but at this point, seeing bugs that existed since Early Access still in the game, I don't have faith that they will.
Such a shame. I absolutely loved this game.
