Had this happen yesterday during crime scenester. One crew mate and 2 randoms.

 

After 15 minutes of running (tunnels, hillsides, etc) me and the last surviving random grabbed a buzzard and headed out to sea. I gave up after flying out a few miles. I dumped the buzzard and went down with the ship.

 

Once I died, the package re-spawned on shore and the random player lost his stars. This is the best part... He swam ALL THE WAY back to shore (another 20 minutes) he passes the mission and I sent him an apologetic thank you message.

 

Sorry for the long winded story, but I felt it was relevant to the topic.

Akuma up to Chiliad. Problem solved.

No, Chiliad is cops favorite donught eating place. There's always cops at Chiliad.

 

Or.. I've always had cops spawn within seconds after I kill the only hitchhiker within miles, using a silent pistol or with a melee weapon.

IIRC you can't lose cops if you have someone with a wanted level in a car with you.

 

Basically you lose your wanted level, but he still has his, so you get his wanted level, then he loses his, but then he gains your wanted level. etc. etc.

 

So you need to lose the police independently of each other.

Nope, I'm talking like I'm the last man standing in the match, and this is happening. I can be in the train tunnel, or in the sewer, and no cops see me enter, yet still i can't shake them. I know sometimes it takes a while to lose them, but I'm saying it won't even go into cool down mode. Its incredibly frustrating when doing missions that take a long ass time.

 

I hate it when that happens.

Put on/take off mask

 

You're golden!

What if I don't want to be golden? What if I want to be Platinum?

OP speaks the truth, it's happened to me several times playing Extradition.

thats a martin mission which means you can call lester to lose the cops...as long as it isnt a mission from lester you can call him to lose the stars...or take your mask off like someone else said

It's not a spectator glitch. I've had this happen playing missions solo.

I'll be in a subway tunnel & Heli spot lights will shine down on me like I'm on the street. It's insane. I have had some success running away deeper into the tunnel but most of the time I have to call Lester. Even when I call Lester, I'm in the cops line of sight & I keep 2 stars. Easier to get rid of because there's no Heli.

Has been happening for a month now. It seems to affect missions like Bust Out and mainly Extradition. If others die and spectate you then the problem happens.

Had it quite a bit in freemode the other night - previously only in missions. I had a 4-star wanted level, got killed and when I respawned I immediately got another 4 star wanted level before I'd done anything at all. It's glitchy as can be.

Nope, lost them in a tank on Death From Above just yesterday. No change for me, except they seem to spawn in front of you a little more, I just change course with a little evasive driving, haven't had a problem.

The glitch happens sometimes and usually happens why others spectate you.

Happened to me on a mission where you needed to lose the cops, drove around on the mountains/ subways for 10 minutes, so then I got a buzzard and flew out into the ocean, STILL THERE, so I killed myself, and left... da f*ck man

Its a well known glitch that has to do with spectators. Usually if the people who are spectating leave it fixes the problem. I think it has to do with people who die with a wanted level and they are spectating you. This has nothing to do with skill its a glitch in the game go try it for yourself have someone die with a wanted level in a mission and spectate you and then try to loose the stars. The game will act as if you are always in sight of the cops no matter where you go.

That's not gonna "solve" anything.

 

Did you not read the OP's post? No matter where he goes the cops find him, so going up Chiliad would be pointless, as Helis and crusiers'd just keep spawning

You wouldn't have to deal with cops if you didn't get them on you in the first place

Oh f*ck off. Are you his mum or something?

 

"Hey I crashed my car into a ditch, how do I get it out?"

 

You: "You wouldn't have to deal with ditches if you didn't get in them in the first place"

Not gonna say it's becoming frequent because I've only ran into this issue today.. but yeah I've noticed that same exact thing going on while I was with a few crewmates. Hopefully it's not gonna become common.

Obviously you are not experiencing the same situation.

I think it happens in all missions where you have to get a cargobob. Its impossible to lose them. If you are flying over the ocean fast in a buzzard, helicopters spawn right in your path.

Happened to me while playing Bust Out. I went underground, in a wall breach, and even in grandma's house, but the cops were still on my tail.

 

 

Game is broken..

Twice, crime scenester it was me with a spectator, on an akuma I drove all over, undergound, then flew around in a buzzard- gave up and ended in a suicide. In one of the docks to stocks we were both alive, the player in a buzzard couldn't shake them and left, then I was free to finish the mission.

I was playing Bust out with a random group and when we reached the Bus and got a wanted level Police came in full force, twelve squad cars as opposed to the normal three, we all died before we could even touch the bus.

I think it might be fallout from R* trying to patch out the afk RP glitch that required you to gain and lose wanted level.

^ Not sure, but i would like to add that this did happen to me once doing blow up solo, no spectators.. It may be directly related to spectating but it can happen with no spectators either.
