@MattScott @Lixil Hi friends, looks like a server has pooped itself.

That's what I thought, but just wanted to rule out any driver conflicts/etc. Definitely an expensive monitor driver

Just out of curiosity, how are you using these two cards? Certainly can't be SLI'ing them as they're different generations/architectures. Is one just being used for extra monitors? Am I ignorant to SLI now?

People with nothing to add aside from "your PC is broken" shouldn't add anything at all. It's largely unhelpful. This is a known issue that was being tracked. Matt said they believed they had fixed most issues. It is certainly possible for issues to return when hotfixes are implemented. I have largely the same set-up as this guy: I7 8700k at 5.0 GHZ 32G DDR4 Ram at 4266 Mhz. Game is on a M.2 SSD Nvidia GTX 2080 This computer runs largely all games on ultra at 120+ FPS. APB is one of the only game I play that the micro-stutters have gotten significantly worse. In the past month since I have returned, they have gotten worse and better after certain patches. Sorry OP, unfortunately I haven't found a fix. Even gimping the game with the Advanced Launcher still has micro-stutters and hard locks even when sitting at 145 FPS.

Bring the NA population back so we can play Beacon!

Yeah, well I informally request him to add it.

Might as well not use them at all, to be honest. The risk of landing 3 shots vs someone using a full auto weapon will never outweigh tbh.

I 100 percent agree with this. Shotguns fill a niche role in the weapon balance sphere. By changing them to 3+ STK, even if you keep the same TTK - it's going to be a real rough weapon to use. Risk/reward in this case. Obviously we should wait to see the full changes, but the description of them does not sound great.

Shotguns getting changed yet again. "This is the only shotgun [Strife] to remain a 2 STK" - Thats a major yikes.

Looks like connections are working once more.

Yeah, this server has been dropping out a lot recently. Usually they get it back up within a few minutes. May have just flown under the radar.

Looks like the servers are broken again. Can't do anything myself. @Lixil @MattScott @SpuzvaBob

This now makes 8 threads in 3 days about hacking. Am I just delusional, or do people really think that there's this much hacking? I'm so confused.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to create a subsection for all of these threads to rightfully die in. The straw-man arguments from a large majority of these posts have no concrete evidence or basis in fact. It's honestly draining to see these threads day after day. I've played the past 2 weeks, and have ran into one potential hacker, and even then I'm pretty sure they were just better and much better coordinated.

Ok, so what's the excuse when the population is barely filling a lobby at 7 PM EST on a saturday night during the summer?

On Jericho, people are having to de-threat just to play Financial :). Maybe when the population is fixed (if they'd just prioritize that ol' engine upgrade) it wouldn't be too bad.

I get 23 MS in Jericho. I love everything about it. I get 150 MS in Citadel. I hate everything about it. Yet, I am still willing to transfer if it means I don't have to play against the same 3 people for 2 weeks, and maybe I can play in financial. Stopped playing Jericho myself about 6 months ago because of the constant lag, and now they seem to have it fixed and there's barely anyone playing.

So. 180 people on a Saturday night, 7:30 PM CST. Should be peak time. Waddup folks.

All 12 people still playing on Jericho don't give a hoot about the game-mode either.

Population dwindles to near-zero numbers, and folks are still convinced everyone they're going against is hacking. Bizarre.

Yes.

it does worth indeed good sir.

Ah yes, the RTW version that 100m was spent on and was considered by 90 percent of the people who played (and then subsequently left) to be an outstanding failure.

Nope, post literally says it will roll out when the Armas Marketplace turns into the Amorous Marketplace

Games largely unplayable. DDoS is always in effect and the servers struggle. Couple that with low population (these go hand in hand) and no new contacts/gear/etc, it's not really hard to see why no ones playing.
