-PC SPECS or NOT???

When you start the game, you must know your PC specs verses the game's minimum specs. If the game uses 4GB and your system has 4GB, keep in mind that the OS needs RAM to run, and so does any program working in the back ground, including things such as the sound card and its programs besides the graphics card. So make sure your RAM is above the games minimum requirements. If your playing this on a laptop, you may need to add or make adjustments if you lack any of what is needed, since laptops can not be upgraded in the graphics section.

*At the time of edit of this guide, the minimum requirements are:

OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64bit)
Processor: Intel Core i3 2GHz or equivalent
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD R7 200 Series / NVidia 700 series with 1GB VRAM or above
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 4 GB available space

--->>Example:
Game uses 4GB of RAM, the video memory has to be 1GB dedicated. Taking into consideration any other back ground working programs as well as the OS. The system needs to have:

6GB to 8GB RAM. If the card is 2GB video memory, then the RAM should be 8GB to 16GB or better.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Graphics:

When the game prompts, you will see of course pre-sets for game resolutions and graphics profile. In most games, pre-sets tend to cause other things to be over looked, because they do not address everything of the games potential in versatility except texture size.

Not all graphics cards can run special features found in the game, so texture size and screen size will not be enough for some. In the game it is created so you can turn on and off special functions and make adjustments to help the player to get the game to run its best on a low end system, depending on what that system has. Each one may vary on its own performance. Those with a high end system, well you know how this is going to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Controls:

There are no profiles sets, however, you can re-bind the current setting to any controller and in any manner besides the keyboard. I have rebound my keyboard, my Logitech ATTACK 3 joy stick, my ThrustMaster X-Box controller, and a LogicTech G29 car system controller for PS4 that I borrowed to use to do my testing here. All of it worked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*The block slots that shows a arrow in a circle are for the analog function. The regular block slots are for buttons and key board. Blacked out is unavailable.

*This is a very versatile re-bind system for those who do not use profiles and want a straight up custom system for their own needs.

***At the time of the editing of this guide, the game is still in early access. This section is subject to be updated as the game is*** - 23/03/2021
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Game types.

There are two types used in this game. One is a co-op multiplayer mode, and the other is a single player mode.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-What to do.

In this game you can choose who you want to be at start, or during the game by returning to station. Most functions are very easy. You just place your cursor over the diamond marker and go into it. In the trunk section or storage location, there are items you can use in your game play. They will be available as you need it, or as is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Callouts
Everyone gets callouts in this game, no matter if you're Police, Fire & Rescue, or EMS.
At any time, you have the right to decline from it, and you can also disable your callouts by hitting F3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To take callouts, wait for one to come through, then hit Y (default) or your bonded key. You should be added to the callout. In the new map, you have to assign yourself to callouts via the MDT.
Go to the callouts location and the game will tell what to do from there.

Police get callouts, but outside of this, there are other things happening around you, including but not limited to, speeding traffic, invalid licences, illegally parked vehicles, etc. Police work does not revolve around receiving callouts all the time. A lot of police work is general traffic stops and proactive policing. You will come across expired registrations, suspended licences, speeding vehicles, which are all picked up by the on-board speed radar and ANPR system.

The computer can be accessed by pressing left shift (default) or your bonded key. In first person mode, the actual computer is utilised. The cursor is shown on the computer screen. In third person mode, A computer screen will pop up in the bottom right of your screen. The only functions of the computer, or MDT, so far is speed radar, plate recognition, or persons/plate search. The get out of computer mode, hit left shift (default) or your bonded key again.

To pull someone over, drive behind them and hit left control (default) or your bonded key and your car's lights will turn on and the siren will blip. The suspect will pull over eventually, unless the game tells you they're fleeing, or the AI becomes bugged and the cars start driving weirdly. This is a common problem.

When you pull someone over and for what ever the reason, you arrest them, you can only place them in the backseat. That's right, no suspects riding shot gun in this town! To place them in the backseat, grab the suspect and walk to the backdoor. Open it and click place in back seat.

When you arrive at the station, you will take the suspect out of the car (open door, click on suspect, actions, grab) and take them inside to the registration desk. Click 3 times and their name will be filled and you should gain points if it was correct to arrest them.

To ticket an illegally parked vehicles place your cursor on the windshield and look for the action prompt to write a ticket. This should be towards the middle of the hood and windshield join. Make sure you ticket vehicles for the right reason or you will lose points.

EDIT 6-16-2018
To get the taser, go to the weapons icon, goto the taser, hit enter or space bar (depending on your key assignment, then scroll to equip weapon and hit enter/spacebar again. Now it will be in your inventory. By default the key assignment is 3..

Not much different from the Police except, you completely rely on callouts. This is because you're a form of first responder, like the EMS, and therefore, unless there is a real emergency for you to attend, you do not do anything but sit. In the game there will be no problems getting callouts such as, accidents, cats in trees, or even structure fires. Like the Police, you have a storage box where you can grab your stuff to use. You will be able to rescue people from a car wreck they are trapped in by the tools available in the storage box, as well put out fires.

When rescuing people from a car wreck, you can inspect the casualty medically with your medical bag. This is going with the concept of the paramedic integration in the fire department. When your not cutting people out of cars your also putting out fires at different locations across the Island.

To use the hose, go to the trunk section of your truck (Not Explorer or Crown Victoria) and click it. Go to fire and use hose. If you are near a hydrant, park near it and grab the supply hose instead and connect the truck to the hydrant (hydrant first) for infinite water. With your hose, Connect it to the pump panel of the truck and then walk towards the fire. Spray water at the base of the fire and red blips will pop up and a blue circle will go around them to indicate you're putting the fire out. For structure fires, it is important to remember your SCBA as you will lose health due to smoke inhalation. After structure fires, use a fan to blow smoke out of the building. You cannot drop hoses, you must go back to the pump panel and collect your hose and return it to the trunk if you wish to do anything else.

To use the ladder, go to your trunk and select rescue then ladder. Hold right mouse button and first option is length. Use scroll wheel to change ladder height. Click your middle mouse button and the next option is vertical rotation. Scroll wheel to adjust. Next option is horizontal rotation. Scroll wheel to adjust. Do not let go off the right mouse button or you will have to readjust the ladder again. To set ladder in place, press the left mouse button while holding the right mouse button. To climb ladder point your cursor to the base of the ladder and a little bit up, there will be an option to use ladder. Click that. To pick up your ladder, look further up from the base of the ladder and there will be an option to pick up the ladder.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not much different than the Police and Fire & Rescue service. The Emergency Medical System service, like the Fire Department rely on callouts for the same reasons found for the fire department. Except your job is to take the sick and injured to the hospital.

When arriving to a scene you have access to the med bag in the trunk of your vehicle. You also have access to a defibrillator, a fracture kit, a stretcher, and other various stuff.

For every call you receive, the game prompts you what to do at the bottom of the screen, so there's not much to really explain about this.

-If you do not know what that key does what, then look in your control config. That is where it is at, and if you do not like the key settings, re-map them yourself for what works best for you.

-This is a early stage game, so relax, everyone was demanding to play it, and didn't care, here you are, enjoy.

*And most of all, have fun...
