An anti-cheat system is like a spam bot — it’s meant to work on completely dumb cheaters or on newly created accounts that are obviously playing unfairly. A moderator who reviews players is a completely different approach. If you hire a moderator who monitors and observes a single player for 3–5 days and then delivers a verdict, you can ban at least 5 cheaters per month. That’s a minimum of 60 cheaters per year. Don’t forget that the game collects data such as ID/SN hardware, SID OS, IP, and so on, which makes it possible to link one character/account to others that are used on the same device. With an online population of 150–200 players, this is a very significant number.

Yeah, I'm clueless... Just wait for new content, hoping it will solve the main issues affecting player churn: cheaters and DDoS attacks. New players have been joining for over a month now. They say they've seen short videos from streamer-players on TikTok, Reels, etc. If many players want constant new content, maybe the developers should consider a completely different concept for the new Contacts: change them every 2 months, with each new Contact having 15 levels to progress through, where you can earn specific event points that can be used to buy unique event content— but not enough points to unlock everything. And of course, each year, players would have to level up these new Contacts from scratch again. This would create the illusion of endless progression. This is just one example of an idea.

Honestly, I’m getting tired of seeing the same complaints over and over again. You guys keep demanding some kind of massive new content drops from LO, as if that’s what the majority truly needs. But most players don’t need that. New players don’t need it either — new contacts or end-game content are designed mostly for veterans, who log in on and off with long breaks anyway. And, let’s be real, most long-time players don’t actually need new contacts. Sure, new content would add some temporary variety, but the current amount is already enough. 15–20 levels of a new contact can be leveled up in a week, and then what? It’s just like before — everyone will quickly forget about what was supposed to be a “big update” recently. The game never moved to the new engine, and it never will. Accept the fact that the game is simply being maintained now. Personally, I don’t need new content. I already own pretty much every weapon from Armas, a lot of clothes, and seasonal events are enough variety for me to keep playing — especially if each year they bring at least small differences. The only thing I’d want is for the events to last at least a month, because I have many characters to play on. My point here isn’t to brag about what I have, but to show that I’m fully willing to support the game financially — as long as the team focuses on solving the real core issue: cheaters. I’m sure many players would prefer that LO focused on solving the main problems — cheaters. People quit because of them, or after a couple hours of facing such opponents they don’t want to return to the game for a week. And LO really needs to finally work on Armas. If they don’t fully understand the content that previous developers created — then make surveys. Or analyze statistics. For example: clothing bundle + permanent gun (character or account bound), or vehicle + clothing + permanent gun, or vehicle + kit + clothing + permanent gun. These types of bundles are interesting for many players who are willing to spend $20–40 a month. Also, Armas is missing a lot of content that already exists in-game, and players would love to have those customization items available. The problem is that the LO team itself never really played the game, never experienced levelling from 0 to at least rank 200 without Premium. Then they would understand what the players’ experience actually looks like. But if they keep listening to the constant complainers, it’s a dead end. We already had an example — splitting districts by threat. And we all remember how that ended.

It's no longer relevant, everything works.

District Enter Failed District Enter has failed due to connection problems with the server (error code 8). APB.exe is unsuccessfully trying to connect with 92.62.247.9, 92.62.247.112, 92.62.247.113, 92.62.247.116, 92.62.247.117, 92.62.247.120, etc - this only happens to NA characters on NA servers. Because I can play EU characters on EU servers.

Excellent manipulation. First have a sale on this weapon, and then nerf it. I hope the next ones to get nerf "fired whilst sprinting" are AP.45 and ISSR-C Kingdom...

Just FYI. On August 7th my issue was resolved. I just received mails with weapon in the game, but no response to my real email.

After purchasing G1C, I received a Redeem Code through the Loyalty Reward program (I hope they are aware this program exists). When I activated the code, there was a 2-minute loading time, and then I saw an error message. I tried again, but the system said the code had already been used. When I logged into the game, I didn’t see the mail with weapon on any of my 8 characters (the weapon is CBMP-45 Bolt Account Lifetime). I have already sent three support requests: on 07/10/2025, 07/21/2025, and today. After three weeks, there has been no response — only confirmation that my requests #1473, #1589, and #1725 have been created. Judging by the ticket numbers and the time between them, it seems they are dealing with quite a lot of support requests.

2 years have passed since the creation of this theme... Unfortunately, during this time the APB is no longer interesting to me. A lot of hated players, including on the forum.

Great news!

It's a partial victory, congratulations!

No wonder there is a saying: "hope dies last"...

You are chatbot? Probably nothing will save the APB from cheaters, which I'm tired of...

APB Administration acknowledged the existence of the triggerbot. Hallelujah!

What's the problem with Steam achieve? Ho-ho-ho... 2014... 2015...
