Before I start, This is not a salt post, It is my opinion, that seems to be widely shared. I believe that staff members that are in a gang/faction, or affiliated with a gang/faction should not deal with issues that arise from circumstances directly involved with the gang/faction they are affiliated with. This cuts down on any rumours/allegations of certain staff doing stuff to benefit the gang/faction they are apart of, and helps remove some tension from other players who believe this to be the case. It would benefit the server as a whole, as an unbiased set of eyes would be looking at the evidence/situation at hand, and would also encourage better levels of RP, currently some members will report 4 or report 3, just because things did not go the way they like, I think this should also be punishable for repeat offenders, as it does nothing to enhance the quality of RP or relations within the server amongst gangs/factions, and does nothing but waste staff time. As mentioned, this is only to try and make the server a better place - Where there are conflicts of interest within RL situations, scenarios, that conflict of interest is removed, and I do not think it should be any different here, It would only make it be a more fairer system, for all involved, and removes any tensions that may arise.

The Vehicle rule I agree with, Same as changing that if someone is stood in front of your car pointing a gun, You should be allowed to run them over, Let's face it, Regardless of my car, In RL If someones stood in front of my car aiming a gun at me, depending how close they are, I'm hitting the accelerator and ducking below the dashboard - I'm running that person over, It's unrealistic to think you would just get out and go "Hey, feel free to rob me, and potentially kill me" - Whats mroe realistic here? From what I understand, If someone robs you, you have upto 3 IRL hours to be able to retaliate, I may be wrong, but that seems to be how it works - So the DM rule change I dont feel would be valid. And, yes if someone is in compliance, You should still be able to kill them, depending on the situation, a normal street robbery, would be pointless to kill someone, but if they are identifiably in a gang, sure you should be able to shoot em up after, because you can bet yourself they are going to find you later otherwise. For what it's worth, I robbed someone once, and killed them, they did everything I asked, but I still killed them, why? Because he told me I was making a mistake, he was in a big gang, and he would get me later... The guy threatened me while I had him at gunpoint... So I killed him

I got 8 hours for interfering with a chase... Here you are saying 8 hours is only possible for murdering a couple of officers... 1, Granted it's against the law, end of, but being tailed for 20 minutes and pulled over every time, that is just short of harrassment, you ticketed me once, go solve some real crimes? 2,4, 5 I was pulled over, not told why, all I got was license? - Heres your ticket... 3, So your not required to tell me what I am going jail for? Untill I am in jail? Like no officer ever has took me to jail then gave me a chance to rp the charges... So that contradicts you there 6, Was used loosely as a metaphor, I'll dumb it down... PD rarely ever ever want to give anyone a chance to RP there crimes or charges, Just outright cuffs/jail with a couple /me's /do's thrown in there aka (Shoot first not ask questions later) In regards to IA reports, there's enough ex PD around that tells people IA is just basically ignored and at most you get a slap on the wrist... It's a complete waste of time, regardless if an officer loses his job or not, and some of it is criminal, but not followed up on, I havent yet seen an officer sent to prison for corruptness while on-duty...

Definately need a Justice system here, With such long jail times, Stacking charges etc... Other servers have it, and it works really well, If anything it brings RP and bridges the gap between PD and Criminals, you would see a lot less hate posts, considering the PG rule states others should be able to RP a response, Criminals are robbed of that the moment they are in cuffs... I'm aware your not speaking for IA, and nor is this an IA report, but why should I waste my time filling in an IA, when in-game, asking to speak with a higher up over stuff, they are generally antagonising and rude (Only spoke with 2)... From those two interactions alone, and the fact all the officer will get is a "Warning"... I'm not going to get back 8 hours of my life (4 -6 Once charges are dropped), That time is gone, I could have been earning 5k every 15 minutes from the mine, that's an easy 100k over that time period (Possible not saying I would though)... Or been rp'ing... I may or may not get those charges dropped, and honestly I mean no offense, Your own take on that is biased, your looking at what I did wrong, not what the officer did wrong, then swinging it around to effectively say "Shit happens, you were involved"... Seeing someone leave a scene of a crime doesn't mean they were involved. And considering the guy they chased from the situation was arrested, from the same crime, he literally got evading that was it... 45 minutes in jail, My passenger got 15 minutes... Me, I got 8 hours.... That's why i'm pissed, that's why I know they stacked charges, and all PD will do, Is just blow it off... Charge stacking needs to be a rule, or they need to incorporate a justice system - One bad day for an officer, could ruin 10 peoples experience here. Same for other factions, except they can't "Jail" someone for multiple hours, They can't trace phones, they have to work and RP situations, PD just roll up, expect to put you in cuffs, and cart you to jail for a long ass time.... That is the fine line as to why people have not got much respect for PD these days, and why they expect RP to be 10x better than everyone else, every server, the police are the front of the server and should act / behave like so

By stacking charges.... I was charged with attempted murder on a government official, A part that was deemed invalidRP by an admin, So I shouldn't have been charged for it... Knife charge - Was added on just because they wanted to keep me in for longer, It had nothing to do with the crime, Wasn't used in any threatening circumstances, Just had it on me. Assault with a deadly weapon - Apparantly I was consistently ramming officers with my vehicle, which I didn't, But I was charged for it Armed Robbery - There was no proof I even did this, and there was others wearing the exact same outfits (Until I showed my video on the report) I can understand the Interfering with justice, felony invasion etc... And let me get this straight, If I do a crime, or anyone does a crime, It's fair game to go to jail, and no ones asking for "Leniency" - But when BS charges are added on, and no allowance to RP charges, and pure denial to even be told your charges, because they know they added some BS charges on, That isn't on! - Again, I do a crime, do the time... But I just listed 4 charges up there, that shouldn't be there - The officer offered to "Compensate" the day after but that was only the fines, what about the 4 hours + I lost due to him abusing this fact? As said in the report, I'd rather deal with people breaking NRP constantly and Low-key metagaming than deal with officers who stack charges, putting you in a position that you can't rp any of it, and can't even play with your friends, all because he had a bad day? And your response, No offense, Is exactly why people don't trust the IA report process - It is a two way street, and believe me, When I'm in jail I try and RP with the guards (Strip dances when changing etc) just to make it fun - But it's hard to RP with an officer who won't listen to reason, or give you chance to explain why some stuff has been done? A RL Scenario - Your walking down the street, See an old lady get mugged and a kid knocked over, you intervene and beat the shit out of the guy who done it, He clearly needs to learn some respect, Police turn up and arrest you for assault - You broke the law, But the officers in RL would give you a lesser sentence due to the circumstances, Or let you off - Here, You get charges stacked without being told...

Sure, against my better judgement - Apparantly this report is purely IC Issues Failed to tell me my charges until AFTER I had served 8 hours, Stacked charges, Even put it down to "Poor" Police work, Regardless of the outcome people can see for themselves. And as most of the others have said here, No one has faith in the IA Reports - That sheriff should be let go of PD, and anyone else who "Stacks" charges or fails to give another a chance to RP Charges

How about consistently tailing someone and pulling them over every 20 seconds to give them a ticket for going 5km/h over the limit? The lack of RP'ing charges given The lack of telling people their charges The consistency of stacking charges for the sake of it The lack of RP at a traffic stop The current attitude of shoot first, dont ask later... There is a lot wrong, as the main faction representing the server, the quality of RP is literally zero

So be better criminals... Pinging our phone numbers which you didn't get IC... Sure, Switch off the phone I guess... Stacking charges to keep people in jail longer - Corrupt, Not dealt with in an OOC level Truth is, there is hate with the cops atm, They should be setting the standard for the servers RP, and not just chasing/ramming/shooting shit, get someone in cuffs, don't RP their charges, and just slam them in prison. I've had two or three Interactions with officers which were good, the rest has all been one-sided with no chance to RP charges etc, I'm lucky if they even tell me what they are... And they are the ones arresting people

Theres a good program on Steam called Driver Booster, It's actually really good for updating drivers

Just to clarify, He wasn't talking about resetting, but re-installing Windows, It would probably work, but not very helpful here... And yes, uninstall and re-install your GPU driver - Restart your laptop after uninstalling, and do a clean install

How would this help other than losing potential files etc that you may not wish to lose? and waste time re-installing? I mean, It would solve it short term, but then it could be a faulty driver, which a re-install wouldn't help, as the problem would persist even after

Adware, Is in effect a tracking cookie for adverts (How do you think Microsoft sends you adverts that are relevant, Or searched for something a few days ago and it just randomly pops up as an advert... That's Adware) - However, Some forms can be malicous yes, disguised as adware. Did the problems occur before or after a recent GPU driver update? - It is worth investigating that, If it was after, I would recommend uninstalling your GPU driver, and doing a fresh clean install of the driver, If it doesn't work you can rule that out.

Okay - Run Malwarebytes - It's not an anti-virus and will find things anti-virus programs won't, Malware ccleaner is a good program it helps keeps things tidy and removes Junk that you yourself wouldn't neccesarily find Have you looked at windows game mode? Windows DVR? etc... Shadowplay should be fine then, if you are just recording set parts, but don't run multiple recording stuff at the same time. Specs seem fine, although Low on RAM. GPU driver updates, can sometimes cause problems, Instead of doing an express installation when updating, always run custom and perform a clean install, Nvidia aren't great when updates come out. So yes this could be a cause, although not necessarily (Depends was it fine before your last update? and did it start after updating? If so then high cause it is your issue

Hi @Korab_Bagadovic What are your laptop specs? Did you buy the laptop brand new? What surface do you have the laptop on when you play? Laptops have a tendency to overheat, windows has a built-in throttle when this happens, It runs in two stages - First stage is to slow applications down, second stage is to power off. When it slows applications down it can cause your game to "Freeze/lag" etc. The thermal paste wouldn't be an issue here, If you bought the laptop brand new, If it was second hand then yes it could be - Another alternative is that the cooling fans have collected dust, There isn't much room inside a laptop for airflow either, which is why I ask what kind of surface your playing on, An open table is going to provide better cooling than laying on your bed. If it isn't a cooling issue, then you may perhaps have malware on your Laptop - I would recommend downloading a trial version of malwarebytes here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/ This is not an anti-virus, don't confuse it - Malware is designed to bloat up your system - Viruses are a different kettle of fish, but I would run a scan for viruses aswell. Second port of call would be to download ccleaner here: https://www.ccleaner.com/ - This is a great free program that can help de-clutter your laptop/pc - After deleting junk files, browser history/cookies etc, you can also clean up your registry, It is recommended to make a backup of your registry before deleting anything (I never do, and never had issues) however, it is at your own discretion, not mine to make this back-up. After running those two programs, do a virus scan with your chosen anti-virus - Avast, AVG, Kaspersky etc. If after doing all that, and you are still experiencing issues, then the other alternative is windows own background processes etc. I would look at windows game bar, and disabling that, along with windows game mode (You actually get more FPS disabling windows game mode, however it may help if your having issues ). Depending on your recording software you use, I would recommend turning off shadowplay or AMD's equiv if you have them and don't use them, PlaysTV can also slow you down quite a bit and uses a lot of resources, personally I use OBS Studio - But again these all use extra resources, Hence why I was asking your system specs, to record and play at the same time, It's recommended to have around 16gb of Ram. I say this with relative experience, I have my own community for gaming, and often help people choose parts etc for custom builds, fix and build desktops/laptops, I am also a programmer and server administrator - With your OP, It is hard to assume what the problem is, so if you reply after trying these things, and they didn't help, I would be happy to help you further if possible, but will need more information.

+1 this thread also Risk/Reward should match what your doing, Or lower prison times/fines
