I think the person that kept updating it stopped playing... not sure... I'll see what I can do about making my own updated one... only thing is I'll need to get the information on the source code ;-;

So, I'll paste the link here, and instructions below. http://www.apbr.de/stuff/signaturdesigner/index.php I didn't make the designer, and it's quite old, since it's not updated for the higher Ranks, and it's lacking the new severs. Luckily, it downloads the image to your computer, so if you're using a windows machine, you can edit it in paint! The images I've pasted have some more detailed instructions. For example, if you have two characters, and want to make two images to put in your signature, make sure you select 500, and not 600. (plus, forum rules limit signature images to 550 px) While I can't say be creative with there only being 7 images for a background, definitely pick whatever you like. I made this since I've had a few people ask about my signature, soooo..... here's how I made my magic.

I'm sure it happens, I just suck at the game. Haha. Yeah, that does sound like it needs a fix

I don't want to get too off topic, but PM and I'll send you a link, with some instructions for it.

The biggest issue with having a member directly from the community just given a role of 'GM' is that in the past people have used that power for themselves. It's not because of you. It's because of what has happened before you. Most of us don't want a reoccurrence of [insert corrupt GM name here]. So... the best way, imo, is for the volunteer system to be returned, and having a monitored system. I won't go into too much detail as the thread is still on the first page. If you really want to help, then I'd wait until more details about the new GMs and SPCT get publicized.

A gamemaster (GM; also known as game master, game manager, game moderator or referee) is a person who acts as an organizer, officiant for questions regarding rules, arbitrator, and moderator for a multiplayer role-playing game.[1][2] They are more common in co-operative games in which players work together than in competitive games in which players oppose each other. The act performed by a gamemaster is sometimes referred to as "Gamemastering" or simply "GM-ing". --Wikipedia (Also the information google is displaying) Can be any of those

A GM is a Game's Moderator. Google helps with this: https://www.google.com/search?q=What+is+a+GM+in+online+games&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab If you want to help the game, here's a few suggestions, you don't have to be a gm, or even a veteran of the game to help. Help new players get to know the game Play the game, and learn what more you can. There's always something you might not have known, albeit from map and game sense, to tricks and tips for gunplay. Be active in the community. You'll learn more about the game, and a lot from others who would know more than you about the game. On top of that, you'll be helping people who just started, or some vets that don't have the same knowledge as you. Be positive. Unlike a few bad apples in our community, if you are a decent human, and don't try to start fights, or arguments, you'll help improve the community.

Even though APB is a CPU intensive game, your graphics card also plays a big role. I can play on a mix of high and max graphics on a GTX 650, so if there's anything wrong with picture quality, try maxing your graphics. If they are already maxed, you said you used the second gpu for streaming. I would say try troubleshooting by removing the streaming card, so as there is only one gpu in the system. I don't have experience streaming with two cards, but there is also a multi-gpu option in the settings. Not sure how that would affect your game. Edit: Also, it looks like you have reduced quality on decals and such, as well as bloom is turned off, (the pictures you provided in game look fairly dark.) I would begin turning the decals and shadows on, then seeing if updating bloom will help.

What're your settings and framerate? This could also be a driver issue, you have two cards in the system, but does the computer have the appropriate drivers installed for the 1050?

I play on high settings, and maintain 45-60 fps, Asylum is the only true bane of my computer's existence, it'll dip into the high 20's. Sure minimum for performance, but I like being able to see the detail I've put into my character and clothes. In my opinion, the game should move the symbols on cars and characters to vector graphics.

Why not test it scientifically? Give players two different settings, and a control group where the settings stay the same. Compare the outcomes. Scientific method my friends, helps to test a hypothesis without being possibly skewed due to a placebo. I will leave an article about Sources of Error during any experimentation. https://www2.southeastern.edu/Academics/Faculty/rallain/plab193/labinfo/Error_Analysis/06_Sources_of_Error.html Also, saying "more and more players keep confirming after testing." Ok, who? I don't see many people here stating that it does work, only a small amount, and few people saying it does, while others, also a few, say it doesn't. Personally, I've never seen any issues with mouse acceleration for the last couple years. Considering I haven't played in a year, and I suck, but everything feels normal to me.

Glad to see great communication, and top notch management. Pretty sure everyone can agree that this is a healthier CEO, and co. for the game. Just look at Steam's measurement of the in game population: http://steamcharts.com/app/113400#3m In the past few days, we hit 1,700 players at peak. Which, prior to May, the peak player base on Steam was 600-800 players... So, more than double!

That would be fine with me, you don't need to credit me, but thanks!

I think this is the first time I've agreed so well with Alonso... Back to topic, does the flag signify hate? Yes and No, depends on who's using it, how they're using, and their intentions in using it. Who: members of parties like the KKK. Your grandma in Georgia who keeps the flag in her living room probably doesn't think about hate (although depending on her age and education might be racist) Or your father who's great great grandfather served in the war, and believes in state's rights keeps a flag as a memorial, or a landmark for history. The latter two don't keep it as a sign they hate black people, or non white people. How: You run around a game with the flag shouting "white power" will definitely signify hate. You make a car, or a CSA outfit with the flag on it, probably won't be hate, unless you decide to once again, run around shouting white power. Reason: If you want to purposely trigger people, troll, or act like a bigot, and a hateful jerk, probably expect a ban. You act like a decent person, put it on your car or whatever because it looks cool, sure go ahead. There is a difference between advertising hate, and being decent. This thread shouldn't need to be created. Use common sense. If you want to keep using the flag, don't act like a dig bick. The reason a swastika isn't allowed, is because a country the game is released in, Germany, actually has it illegal to publicly, and in the media, display Nazi paraphernalia.

Pls get your profile pic, good to see you back

I'm here with you too.

I think the whole Global Conflict was better, kinda like Battle Royal, and was already in the game. Just tried to find more information, because searching open conflict doesn't help... I think this was the precursor to the Open Conflict Districts, but turns out it was called the Anarchy Event. Not my video, but a good example of the fun on the game mode. I'd love to have this back! Although, I preferred the Waterfront Anarchy map

Benkz Mhuller could make a bus, and heavy duty vehicles.

Probably the best way would be to have an editor in game, in social (place it in the big building to the north, almost empty in there all the time), where you can customize your tracks. Place waypoints, (which can just be the go-to this point as are in a few missions, just don't need to sit on it, but drive through) I'd love to see the addition of a racing district. (Midtown with elements from wf and fin) Only problem I see, is everyone using a Vegas, 4x4, Jericho, and Bishada; Make racing more fun, and allow for a our lower tier cars to be upgradable for races too! (Give the Fresno and Broadwing some love)

Looking at your map, your enemies have 3 car spawns next to the obj, while you guys don't have any, and my guess that the system is also giving them the spawns on the East side of the objectives. This is why a rework should be in place for them. (making the timer longer hurts the players because they have to use the garbage spawns)

And I must say, I don't like people calling each other derogatory names in association with their skill level. (Threat is a poor meter stick for measuring a player's skill) Greenies, Bronzies, whatever silver is, Silvies?, Goldies Any segregation within the game divides the community. There are not 5 communities in this game, there is but 1. I'll leave a quote from something I mentioned in another thread regarding matchmaking and threat: It's not who's saying what, but what you're saying that makes an idea valuable. If you contribute, and to benefit yourself the most, you would make a system that not only benefits you, but other players, as the game would live and die by this system. Part of the problem is not that golds are elitist, because it's not true. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. There are golds who are elitist, and while it's sad, it's been fostered by the system that they learned to play in. The segregation of the U.S. until the 60s produced a climate where some people thought they were better than others. You can blame the people, and not all of them are that way, but the problem was with society as a whole, the system they grew up, lived, and worked in procured that environment. Insert mini joke here: Civil rights? You mean SILVER RIGHTS!

Just wait, I saw an American Flag on an Espacio today, someone's gonna say the U.S. is Elitist, and offends them, ban the U.S. Flag Also, OP, The confederate flag/rebel flag w/e you wanna call isn't a symbol of racism or hate speech, you're good there. Don't go around shouting hate speech and parading the flag like a KKK member and you're fine. Once you do something that actually violate the ToS, then that's a bannable offense. The ToS also says that you can't break any law of x country. Since the game is fairly internationally based, I'd say, don't shout hate speech, don't make a swastika, (historical accuracy ____ item here or not). Use common sense, and think: "What am I using this for?"

Districts are almost full, 40 enf, 39 crims, and I switch to crim, come back to load screen 37 enf, 40 crim. Switch back, and wait because 3 people joined again. Wish there were more mission districts. Also, capturing a point for the final stage of the mission, literally on the obj, not being shot at, and at 1 sec left, lag teleports you off the point.

Fair Matchmaking is part of the thread, the rest of the thread are suggestions on ways to improve the measurement and scales for player's skill, as well as ways to retain, and encourage players to progress and improve.
