    Hello everybody, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Friday (10/10) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 6 to 10 hours. Todays patch aims to resolve some of the ongoing Matchmaking issues as well as an issue causing some players to get a corrupt driver which is causing Blue screens. Thank you for your patience.

    Wasn't sure if there was a maintenance period earlier today, but I wanted to post my results from running the APB Launcher today (13:33 EST) I am including the discrepancies between the GFAC Manifest file size, and the C:\Program Files\GFAC file size. I also include the updater log for 10/09. updater.log (10/09) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [2025-10-09 13:53:16] [INFO] [] GFAC Update Client starting...

    I did not see any announcement that Thursday's maintenance had been pushed back/delayed or was implemented. I assumed it happened, but just guessing. I have posted additional results in the main GFAC issues post concerning the GFAC updater results.

    Go to the GFAC known issues thread where are everybody with identical issue such as yourselves, including me. As of yesterday the newest info update to this is that LO staff and support is aware of this issue and they been working last week to try and fix it. After I explored forums I see that many people got this error. MageLO said they are planning to release maintenance fix today and they hope it will resolve the problem which occurred after they updated GFAC AC to GFAC version 1. Half of population of APB vanished.
  13. Last week

    Honestly if its fixed tomorrow (lets hope), the fix should be a) like last time and update itself should resolve everything. I will try option a) but if it wont work I plan to deinstall APB entirely again, install it from scratch along with GFAC. I passed through reg edits, through powershell removing the conflict I had with Windows’ security subsystem (LSA — Local Security Authority) and VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) and EAC since my event logger reported that actually EAC which suppose to be offline(not used anymore) is indeed one of the error causes along with GFAC. I went even with creating entire new virtual machine with Windows 11 and APB installed there to behave as entirely new PC. I had identical issue there which brings me to logical conclusion that whoever at this moment downloads APB and installs it from scratch will face the BSOD situation. I gave up only when I got confirmed by MageLO that they are aware of the situation. Which comforts me a lot. I have to add as well that I installed in sunday APB at my remote laptop and I had no issues whatsoever. The tragedy begins when I attempted to simply enter APB on my PC which was always the main for APB. After it installed last 34MB patch all hell broke loose and situation deteriorated the deeper I went with troubleshooting. At the beginning of issue in monday I normally opened APB and after entering password and choosing my character I kept getting kicked out as my first screenie above saying it simply needs restart of the game. Only after going through troubleshot the hell out of it I started to get BSOD by simply starting the game. I can with outmost certainty confirm that it is not an anti-virus and firewall issue because I made sure not only to white list literally entire GFAC folder every single .dll and file which exists inside that folder, along with APB, along with EAC explicite. I even went with risky situation of disabling my firewall and anti virus completely for 10 minutes and tried to start in that session. So people who keep yapping its anti virus clearly didn't do more than 2 steps of troubleshooting the situation like you and me did. Lets hope you and me and rest of people having this issue, tomorrow can raise glasses and celebrate the solution of this problem.

    @MageLO, if you could ask the Dev Team what process should those players use that are having issues launching the game because of the GFAC issues. a) Normal Operation - Start the APB Launcher, allow the GFAC update to complete - Press Start to enter the game b) Completely uninstall and remove ALL GFAC before starting the APB Launcher - run the C:\Program Files\GFAC\uninst.exe - delete the C:\Program Files\GFAC directory - Check the Registry Entries for any GFAC references and delete Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Little_Orbit - Reboot the computer - Start the APB Launcher, allow the GFAC initial Install, then update to complete If the Dev Team believes that option "b" is unnecessary, then please let us know sometime tomorrow. Much appreciated

    Thank you very much, I wasn't around APB last few weeks so I got caught off guard and shocked when I couldn't enter APB. Its only important that you guys are aware of this issue so you can start working on solving it. Now I know. Lets hope all gets fixed tomorrow. You will definitely have my feedback.

    Hello peeps, I had my fare share of issues with APB like anyone else here, but this time the game wont start immediate shutdown after clicking start from the launcher. Help. Thanks for your help in advance.

    I said in a previous post, that I had exhausted all troubleshooting methods that were available to me. But, I just had to try one more thing. As an FYI, I see a lot of people saying to turn off anti-virus , Windows Defender, yaddy yadda, which I have in previous troubleshooting sessions. No success. I also checked my anti-virus , Windows Defender in other troubleshooting sessions for any GFAC flagged exceptions. There were none. So I can confidently rule out anti-virus and Windows Defender and a contributor to this issue. Also, I have a continued back and forth with LO support, and I forwarded these findings to support earlier today. My current environment before troubleshooting steps: - GFAC is currently installed (Game does not launch after pressing start) - uninstall GFAC (run the C:\Program Files\GFAC\uninst.exe) - uninst.exe ran successfully - delete the C:\Program Files\GFAC directory - Check the Registry Entries for and GFAC references ( I never did this before ) - found the following GFAC references in the Registry - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Little_Orbit\GFAC - Backup the Registry - Highlight "Little Orbit" , right-click / Export to file - Reboot Computer - Check Registry for GFAC entry, Entry does not exist - Run APB Launcher, Message "GFAC Installation Required (This will be the 1st install of GFAC, not an update) Then --------- - After what appears to be a successful GFAC install (no Error messages) - Check the Registry Entries for and newly added GFAC references - found the following GFAC references in the Registry - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Little_Orbit\GFAC - Values are different than previous GFAC update attempts - Checked the C:\Program Files\GFAC\logs\updater.log And Have not Pressed Start - Review the updater log file updater.log ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [2025-10-08 15:38:08] [INFO] [] GFAC Update Client starting...

    Thank you @MageLO for the update. I will pray that your internal goal to deploy the solution tomorrow is successful. I tried one last troubleshooting effort, and will post my results in the Main GFAC thread to avoid any confusion.
  21. MsWolfy
    I have been having the exact same issue, I find that even after doing a full repair of the game files, update, restarts, etc that then the game breaks and states "Game Unable To Respond" and says broken so... I am at a loss as well

    Hello, as mentioned in the GFAC thread we're aware of the issue and have been working on a solution to this all of last week. Our internal goal is to deploy the solution with tomorrows maintenance.
  24. Victoria97
    Usually when things suppose to work by all means but they don't I get this obsessive urge to find a solution asap. I agree that they should roll black to previous version. I am sad that you got identical problem but in same time I am happy because I know now that I am not alone in this. At this point after decade of playing APB, I wouldn't call it loyalty anymore, I would call it an addiction lol
  25. Victoria97
    Did you perhaps come into possession of those different sizes of these 2 files? If you did, please upload it on some free uploading site and send me the link to download them. I think its sooner the first than the latter. Because hackers who systematically cheat and hack in APB entire decade didn't care for Battle-eye, nor EAC, and they surely wont care for GFAC. Its usually premium hacks they pay on monthly basis which are hard to detect. If the sudden pop drop is after releasing GFAC 1.0 then logical conclusion is that this was the anomaly that keeps players away from APB. Like me and you. The good news in this bad news is that I am not only one with this error. I was afraid that I am special like always in APB regarding every single error there possibly can be. I had it. It always attacks exactly my laptop lol. I have had issues from day one with GFAC but then they deployed fix and it worked flawlessly all until this monday when after longer time being offline I returned to APB and experienced first error after lobby when I tried to login with my char. At that point I got message that GFAC is not working and restarting APB will fix the problem. "Shockingly" as expected it didn't. I restarted like 30 times to no avail. Then I started to play and troubleshoot it deeply, adding anti-virus white list to GFAC, to APB...even went editing some group policies. After 200 steps I did (half of which I already forgot what I changed) I started to get BSOD with exactly .sys file. No app aka executable file should EVER be able to bring down my entire OS to complete restart of the system. Meaning GFAC is putting its nose into the kernel memory sections where its not suppose to even be at. Windows knows it and therefore we have this problem. Most important thing to me was that @MageLO and support team is aware of this issue so that they can start working on it asap. Or like you said simply re-roll back to previous version which obviously worked for everyone. What I cannot stand in situations like these is the silence and ignore from only people who has power to change this. You said that Magelo addressed this issue somewhere last thursday? Can you please copy paste me here what he said regarding this?

    You are not alone in your problem. You're just the only ones who are looking for a solution with such tenacity. The administration should roll back the client version to stable and then resolve the issue. I am surprised by the loyalty of the community to this company of fans of poles and bicycle wheels.

    You are not the only one. I too spent a few days troubleshooting, reinstalling, ran Memory Checker, sfcannow, disabled anti-virus, only to be greeted with the BSOD - Stop code: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA What failed: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys Many people on LO Discord commented on this same issue. It appears to be a discrepancy with GFAC file versioning that has/is being deployed. LO has been pretty quiet so far concerning this issue, the last official word was posted last Thursday by MageLO. Some comments from Discord is there is a noticeable drop in population since the GFAC 1.0 release. Is this because a fair portion of players are experiencing the same issue with GFAC (BSOD) and cannot start the game, as apposed to the initial thought that only a "handful of players" are having this issue ? Or... Is the GFAC 1.0 release that effective, and many players that did not support fair gameplay gave up their cheating ways and just left the game ? For me, and I am sure quite a few others, have not been able to launch the game for over 2 weeks. I have exhausted all troubleshooting methods that I have available to me, and will wait patiently for LO to provide a fix.

    @MageLO Ok so am I the only one with this sudden problem or there are other people experiencing this annoying thing as well? After researching almost entire day, re installing APB entirely, re installing GFAC and clicking repairs like crazy the issue persist. Each time I try to start APB it gives me Blue screen of death (BSOD) with the error messages Stop code: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA What failed: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys I did next steps: 1) I ran commands in cmd sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 2)I ran mdsched.exe 3) I white listed both GFAC and EAC in my anti virus and firewall 4) I disabled Deep Behavior Inspection temporarily 5) I re installed EAC My event log confirmed next: “LSA package is not signed as expected. This can cause unexpected behavior with Credential Guard. PackageName: negoexts.” and also mentions “Virtualization Based Security for Credential Guard auto enablement status.” These refer to Windows’ security subsystem (LSA — Local Security Authority) and VBS (Virtualization-Based Security). Now, I know that Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) operates very close to kernel level, the same privileged layer that Credential Guard and VBS use. So when LSA / Credential Guard report signature or compatibility issues, it often means EAC tried to hook into protected memory, which Windows 11’s security system blocked or crashed instead of allowing. That fits perfectly with my BugCheck 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Am I on the good track? My question is also why is Easy Anti-Cheat still coming with APB install package? If we all agreed to use GFAC? Are there any players here experiencing this same error?

    @MageLO I returned after few weeks of being offline and suddenly I cannot enter APB anymore. Errors that I keep getting states: Error: Failed to update file GFAC_Service.exe File integrity check failed. Error: Failed to update file GFAC.dll. File size mismatch: expected 1022648 got 1023672. After I deinstalled GFAC completely and ran the APB launcher again, it installed GFAC again. But now each time i try to start APB it actually delivers me to blue screen of death and its restarting my entire pc. With classic message of "your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. Stop code: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA What failed: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys Log: 16:04:17 - Log: Log file open, 07/10/25 18:04:17, PID 10412. 16:04:17 - Init: ..\APBGame\Logs\ 16:04:17 - Init: OS details: 16:04:17 - Init: Version number: 10.0 (eOsType 14) 16:04:17 - Init: Windows 10 64Bit 16:04:17 - Log: CreateProc APB_Catcher.exe 10412 16:04:17 - Thread: Thread ExceptionHandler created with stack 524288 and priority 'normal' 16:04:17 - Init: WinSock: version 1.1 (2.2), MaxSocks=32767, MaxUdp=65467 16:04:17 - Thread: Thread Main created with stack 4194304 and priority 'normal' 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\ConsoleFilter.ini 16:04:17 - Init: Genuine USER_BUILD exe. 16:04:17 - Init: Genuine SAFE_BUILD exe. 16:04:17 - Init: Version: 3908 16:04:17 - Init: Compiled: Sep 28 2025 02:58:15 16:04:17 - Init: Changelist: 218742 16:04:17 - Init: Command line: -language=1033 16:04:17 - Init: Base directory: C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\GAMERSFIRST\APB RELOADED\Binaries\ 16:04:17 - Init: Character set: Unicode 16:04:17 - Init: Whitelist filtering inactive 16:04:17 - Init: appCycles test took 20.939900 ms 16:04:17 - Init: APBEngine.ini successfully deleted 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBEditor.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBEditorUserSettings.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBCompat.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBEngine.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBGame.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBInput.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBUI.ini 16:04:17 - Log: GConfig::LoadFile has loaded file: ..\APBGame\Config\APBMachineOptions.ini 16:04:17 - Init: Init signal handers... 16:04:17 - Init: Init Terminate and Unexpected handlers... 16:04:17 - Init: ...done 16:04:17 - Init: Computer: -snip 16:04:17 - Init: User: Administrator 16:04:17 - Init: CPU Page size=4096, Processors=4 16:04:17 - Init: CPU Detected: GenuineIntel 16:04:17 - Init: Using smoothed QPC for timing. 16:04:17 - Init: High frequency timer resolution =10.000000 MHz 16:04:17 - Init: Memory total: Physical=12.0GB (12GB approx) Pagefile=14.5GB Virtual=131072.0GB 16:04:17 - Init: APB game exe identifier: Release_USER 1-32-0_FUEL@850399 Inst:0 16:04:17 - Init: Presizing for 200000 objects not considered by GC, pre-allocating 31457280 bytes. 16:04:17 - Init: Presizing for 400000 objects in StaticMap, pre-allocating 94371840 bytes. 16:04:17 - Init: Object subsystem initialized 16:04:18 - Log: appRequestExit(0) 16:04:18 - Exit: Exiting. 16:04:18 - Log: Log file closed, 07/10/25 18:04:18 Please help What am I suppose to do?

    Not at 100 bucks per shot, sure with my crim's they have the money. Same with spawning cars 100 bucks per car that golds trash. But that is the only one shot weapon they have, the rest take unrealistic numbers of rounds to kill. Haters wanna help matt charge me for car spawns. while he hands them gold for raping bronzes. Far as I'm concerned the game is a big Rackett

    I wanted to share my latest email I submitted to LO support for my support ticket I opened on Sept 26 concerning the GFAC error's, and the inability to launch the game. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some interesting information to share. I was discussing this GFAC issue with another APB player on Little Orbit's Discord, and they mention that I need to get a working copy of the following two files; GFAC.dll - 997.68k GFAC_Sys_x64.sys - 2.11MB I looked at the file size of those two files in my C:\Program Files\GFAC, and there are as follows; GFAC.dll - 999k GFAC_Sys_x64.sys - 2.11MB I re-downloaded the GFAC.dll from the "manifest.json" URL you sent me. https://gfac.gamersfirst.com/updates/0.5.1.28/GFAC.dll And the file size again for GFAC.dll was 999k. So the person on the Discord channel has a different version of the GFAC.dll, than I do, and his game is working. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So it appears that for that individual on Discord that is not having a problem launching the game, he has a different version of the GFAC.dll than I have. The full manifest to manually download the files that LO support provided for me is here. https://gfac.gamersfirst.com/stable/manifest.json I understand the dev team is working on this, and is having a difficult time chasing this down. I hope they have made some progress, and will be releasing a patch release for GFAC soon.
