07/30 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
SuperConker replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
The game is on Steam, and that is also where 99.99% of the players get the game from when they download it. It would only make sense to communicate outages and other issue with the game on the Steam Forums, most people have no idea about these Gamersfirst forums (and even less so, their Discord). Steam is not some 3rd party platform, it's the literally the main way for people to play the game. To leave out the main platform in which people acquire the game is just silly. -

this game has g1 client and not everybody got steam. Yes there are actually people like me who are not gamers, who got few games none of it on steam..so i highly disagree with any 3rd party tools..such as discord or steam to announce news about apb... you got official forums deal with it... and thats not for you sentence thats for LO management. Forums should be number ONE source of information... you cant persuade me that its so hard for you to write apb forum on google and come here with 1 click as it would be hard for us to circle around steam forums and whatnot. Literally had steam 1 year...never even heard for forums. APB forum. period. -

Could you please start using the Steam Forums instead from now on? I'm tired of coming here just to find out what's going on with APB. You guys don't even read the Steam forums which is very sickening to notice (especially for a game that is on Steam). Other games actually use the Steam forums for announcements and whatnot (and so should APB). Steam should really be your main way of communicating with the player base. -

Hello everybody, today we're releasing our in-house Gamersfirst Anti-Cheat, we have spent the last few months pouring all available resources into the project and are excited to finally release it to the public. However, this Tech is extremely advanced and is bound to have some issues so we're going to keep a list of all known issues related to GFAC in this thread! Additionally, if you encounter an issue related to GFAC we would like you to post about it in this thread and try to keep unnecessary chatter to a minimum as this is not a feedback thread. In your report please include the following: A screenshot or video of the error/issue you're encountering. Details on when the error/issue occurs. Date and Time of the issue. Are you using any sorts of file edits? (Configs) Your relevant Computer Specifications such as: Processor. Graphics Card. RAM. What kind of drive APB is installed on. (NVME/SSD/HDD) Operating System. Anti-Virus software. We may also reach out privately to ask for more details but the above should help us track down issues so we can fix them as soon as possible! Thank you for your cooperation.

A small reminder that kernel-level anti-cheat solutions will not solve the problem this game has. The only solution to cheating is in-game moderation to take care off the blatants & separating casuals from competitive crowd with a separate queue (a pledgable contact or a separate, empty district for competitive matches) The separate queue will also take care of griefing indirectly as well, as you can separate entire teams in empty districts. Limiting the queue to 3vs3 and 4vs4 seems adequate. The low population of ~300 players makes in-game moderation a simple task. If someone tries to pull the "oh it's a long-term solution" excuse... I fail to understand how implementing GFAC in this version of the game is a good long-term solution. The developers have already shown interest in rebuilding the game in UE5, meaning such large endeavours are... frankly ridiculous if you ask me. This video is a obligatory watch: Instead of the wasted effort on GFAC (a fatal, user security & privacy issue, as well as a system performance hog), it would've been more appropriate to fix the >120fps sliding bug, implementing a waitable timer frametime limiter and doing something worthwhile to gameplay mechanics (district layout balancing, mission balancing, eliminating RNG from weapons, implementing anti-griefing solutions such as the one mentioned above etc.) or the UI (allowing for 3 FC's, fixing misleading crosshair representation, using explicit & numeric values for weapon statistics in-game, making a proper tutorial, notification pinging system with binds instead of opening up map, VOIP...) I wouldn't be surprised if, with the GFAC implementation, you've also indirectly removed any potential W7 users from this game. Yes, W7 is still a viable option for games employing the D3D9 graphics API, such as APB, as Microsoft has crippled D3D9 on W10 due to their "borderless" attempts. Or you could always upgrade the graphics API to D3D12 or employ DXVK -

Knowing the situation probably just Discord because everybody in 2025 is on Discord i was being told. Yet every other modern multiplayer games and people i hang out with ther use ingame voip which are pretty standard these days which doesnt need no mofo discord. Counter Strike 2 ...everybody just push a single button K and you talk... all infos..provided on forums and site..... DOTA 2... not a single soul uses Discord for it but yes..APB is special little snowflake... APB is "modern" and uses "high quality" modern tools like Discord. Be modern they said. Install Discord for us they said. If i didnt know better i would say Discord is sponsor of APB and is financing APB...judging the amount of Discord voters from LO management. In other reality check we are at engine made before Christ era...we cut off voip in game...but we have Discord. Woooo heee! P.S. ETA servers coming back 1st september 2030. No pressure, no pressure -

Westford replied to Westford's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
True. I'm sure whatever process is used to bypass the other client side AC's will be used with this. But Matt did say that there are also 2 server side components. So we'll see. -

MACKxBOLAN replied to Westford's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Maybe. Will it work, and if so, how long till they bypass it. I'm not trying to throw salt, I hope it works. At least putting a dent, will reduce the amount of blatant cheaters. -
