New Content Incidents

Used to be forum moderator and I know what I'm talking about.

You do?

Strange that you do not know they visit the beta forum.

I was advised by support to disable building animations in order to stop the app crashing daily when I visited multiple cities to aid them.
Since then I haven't seen a single road-based incident. I recently reinstalled the game (as it was still crashing when displaying other cities) which re-enabled the animations by default, and lo and behold! several road incidents appeared.

Are they supposed to be contingent on animations being active?

Not on the PC.
I have an older dual-core PC with the animations switched off ... but collect daily incidents and fp on a regular basis.

On your roads as well? Without animations I only see the obvious ones. Most roads are hidden and the only way to see an incident on those is if there is a trafic jam. Without animations you do not see trafficjams.

The animation being off doesn't effect the incidents in my city
I have always had my animations off and I have never had a problem seeing the incidents on the roads

Well, I've tried dragging buildings over the roads, which usually sets off any invisible incidents, but with no result - there just didn't seem to be any.

Sure.

 

[Vesiger]

Still no sign of any road-based incidents...

 

[Agent327]

Sure.

Ah, but do you get thjem all? There are large parts of my roads I can not see at all. Have no idea if I am misiing any incidents or not.

 

[Dead-Eye]

Moving a large building over all roads usually sets them off.

I know, which is why I suspect that not only can I not see any, but there aren't any being generated. I've tried over several days, but I'm not getting anything when I drag.
When I switched animations back on there were several incidents waiting for me...

Edit: OK, I just tried the experiment.
I dragged Alcatraz all over every square in my city without result. I then switched animations back on, and instantly saw a tree branch and a hole in the tarmac in full view that were simply not there before.
It's a bug

Some random rewards in INCIDENTS are better than "TREASURE HUNT" after 8hours search ...
just example is 10medals U get from 8h hunt and 24medals from incidents ...
You could look at this and make it even ... so that Hunt is better rewarded ... or there is no point in Treasure hunt anymore ...
