Yikes, actually haven't minimized it while the steam overlay was open but that sounds terrible. I remember when 40 fps was the norm for me back when Garry's Mod was what everyone was playing.

I'm running a GTX 1070 and my game looks fine. Usually get about 60~70 fps with occasional stutters. One thing that I've noticed if you want to run APB smoothly... NEVER for the love of god minimize the game. For me this just destroys my performance when I bring it back up. Occasional stutters turn into almost constant stutters and mini-freezes and over time it just gets worse and worse and the freezes keep getting longer. Whether I'm in windowed mode or fullscreen doesn't make a difference. The Steam overlay does this too but to a lesser extent.

So are you just... one of us now? Edit: I'm stupid. I was thinking of Majiik

8/10 Not the type of music I would normally seek out to listen to but I have a special fondness for this one because it really gives off the same vibe as APB's soundtrack and reminded me of a couple of songs from it in particular. Here's a fun one if you like Industrial Rock :3

Well that sucks. I was gonna buy stuff for my friends when they came back to the game Now I really don't have a reason to buy anything on Armas because I already have everything. Please consider adding it back and just penalize those who abuse it. Maybe set up a system where it tracks your market purchases and gifts, so if you buy a legendary from someone for a really low price, and then gift them an item on Armas it'll call for the trade to be investigated or something.

I hardly made it through the list of Women's clothing suggestions, it's so long. But really yes I'd love all of this.

Oh man I totally forgot that Mad World, Courage, and Borstal Breakout were on the soundtrack. I still remember hearing Rational Gaze for the first time in this game. Good times.

Not my type of music but I'll give it an 8/10 because it's a hell of a lot better than a bunch of other rap I hear now a days and that he actually pronounces words and doesn't just mumble everything.

Alright thanks. The animation might look a little goofy if the speed is just doubled like that. Your number of 175 cm/s sounds like a good starting point.

In my opinion G1 made the game look WAY better in 2011-2012 than it did in RTW. RTW was a bit too bright, but 2011 Reloaded was a good mix of RTW and what we have now. It had light pollution but wasn't overblown like in RTW and wasn't Black like it is now. Somehow later on G1 figured out how to make a city produce negative light and made the light pollution black. Watch this video to see what it looked like between 2011-2012 if you haven't been around that long. Night time was so pretty back then. I have a suggestion thread about restoring APB's visuals if anyone wants to pop in and support it :3

Wouldn't the ability to use whatever skin you wanted make them even more worth having though? Nothing wrong with just adding the option. Nothing negative could come from it, but it would make a lot of people happy if it happened. I doubt anyone would get too bent out of shape about this.

Adds 20% chance to fall down on uneven terrain. (Grass, dirt, poorly maintained sidewalks) Gawd. I'm embarrassed to admit I had a pair of these when they were in. I was like 10 and they were a gift don't judge please. Walking normally with the wheels attached was damn near impossible. Plus just as a shoe they were uncomfortable as hell so for the most part I stuck to my Vans.

Huh, this never really crossed my mind, but I really like the idea. What is the normal jogging speed? IMO it should be somewhere around half or maybe a little faster than half of the jogging speed.

MattScott and USPStyle are actually working together to make that part of APB. Recently he said it's still allowed for now.

There's also a game from 2010 called APB that bears a striking resemblance to APB Reloaded.

This would be great, +1 The Anubis looks so ugly.

All they need to do is make it look like it did in 2011-2012.

Wow, Way to just disregard what the people who actually have experience with the game say. "The gunplay is good" "It's crap" "The game is an unpolished diamond" "It's not" "The customization is amazing" "I don't care" And then basically calling it a shittier GTAO, and disregarding the negatives that APB players give about GTA by pretty much saying "as expected of an APB player" Like, the controls are an actual problem in GTA. I've always said that APB vs GTA is like Quake vs QWOP. Plus complaining about APB's menus but being totally ok with GTA's is just... What? I'll admit APB's menus are laggy but at least their layout actually makes sense. How do people like this even get jobs at game journalism companies?

Well if you want my honest opinion... That'd be a big backlash right there if enough people cared. Thing is most people these days don't care. But the ones that do care, care A LOT. About anything intended to be offensive really. The majority of us are just so numb to it all at this point because of games, tv, music, etc. There's a vocal minority that does. I mean the new Wolfenstein had a bit of a controversy over having KKK members and Nazis wearing swastikas down to 'Dolf himself being in the game. But historical accuracy(lol) won and the game was only censored in Germany I believe. Granted in Wolfenstein there's no customization and you're the one killing the nazis and racists, but still it was a very vocal minority that freaked out over all of that and boycotted, yet sales still thrived. Wow I'm getting really off topic here. The difference between them putting KKK Hoods in APB and someone running around in a nazi uniform is that the hood would have to be an OFFICIAL release because you can't make that with what is available in game. That nazi uniform can be pinned on the player for making it, but the company would be the target if they released the hood. The possibility of being offended is the price you have to pay to play an online game with a heavy focus on customization. Personally I think people just need to relax a little and the world will be a happier place.

Not necessarily. How hard is it to accept that some people just like the way it looks? If I wear a police uniform, does that mean I am or consider myself a cop? The uniform has symbols on it. If there are no symbols on the uniform then who are you supporting? In the context you're talking about those symbols would pretty much be advertisement. If you don't include the offensive symbol then there's nothing being advertised or promoted. Without the symbols it's just another 1940s styled military uniform. Plenty of different countries military from the time had ones that looked similar. Main difference being different symbols and color scheme depending on the country.

By this I meant the uniform doesn't have meaning until the swastika or other Third Reich symbols are put onto it. And yes, style is subjective I'll give you that, however my point is people wear what they think looks cool. For the most part, we don't care if you don't like our clothing. We wear it because we like seeing it on our characters and think it looks good. Most of em are not out to offend anyone so if they get offended then that's on them. Personally I don't wear any uniforms or anything other than a police outfit on my crim character occasionally. That doesn't imply that I think police shootings are good. Don't just assume someone has bad intent behind their clothing unless they blatantly start spewing racism in chat or have the actual swastika on their clothes.

Well... the uniform itself doesn't really represent anything. Just like a bedsheet doesn't become racist until you put a cone on your head. If anything it's the symbols used on it such as the swastika. Despite how horrible the nazis were you can't deny they had style and that's why people like their uniforms. They just looked good.

If we want something unique then how about a 1939 Plymouth DeSoto? There's nothing else in the game that even looks similar to it since we don't have any cars from that era yet.

Wow, Matt is really taking control of this sh*t, isn't he? Seeing LO's policy on transparency and communication in action are making me really happy that LO are the ones that took over. It feels like someone actually cares for the game and community again and it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Especially seeing the amount of detail put into the explanation of how they plan to fix it. G1 just used to say "We're on it"... Sometimes...

As we all know, this game used to look a hell of a lot better than it currently does. Example: (Sorry if this is embarrassing to look back on Dancaster, your video just had a ton of good examples of how the game looked toward the beginning of Reloaded.) Night time looked dramatically different than it does now, and daytime still looked quite a bit better than current day. Now daytime has this gross looking blue filter over the screen, nighttime looks dead, the bloom is broken at certain times of the day, camera sway when steering vehicles was removed, some textures need swapped out for decent looking ones (in Asylum especially) and just post processing in general needs fixed. This was one of the only games where the DoF wasn't distracting or bad looking in my opinion and now it just doesn't work v('~')v Also bring back this type of bloom please. Currently the bloom is just a gradient circle and it look gross and blobby. Just for good measure, here's a comparison of RTW Night (Too bright imo) and current night time I believe these screenshots were by Dopefish if I remember correctly. It just looks so dead now.
