Even if a cheater stops cheating, they will be back to doing exactly the same in the moment when they get killed by another cheater.

What about taking a % from cheat sales? It is the only thing an old player will never get enough of in a game infested with cheaters. What kind of new player is going to throw money at a game to get constantly stomped on?

This kind of stuff is "normal" for many anticheats but doesn't go beyond just shutting down the game. Account ban usually means a lot more things have gone wrong.

I also find it sus that no matter what anticheat this game has ever used it always had excessive amount of "false bans". It makes you wonder if the problem was the anticheat to begin with.

I have yet to see a game that uses EAC and has false positive bans (at least not to the extend I see ppl complaining about here). Most ppl probably uses 3rd party tools that aren't allowed and then go surprised Pikachu when get caught.

How many do you want to make for releasing 1 new item in 10 years?

I don't even know why NA server still exist. They should have merged it with EU long ago instead of removing threats.

Ofc it will be detecting it as cheats. It can be very exploitative in the right hands. It would be surprising if it doesn't detects it considering even the most basic anti cheats does that.

Did you buy the account from the guy who hacked you? If they can't confirm that is you, it is probably due the IP and email used for creating the account. The other possibility is that you have been downloading cheats and got keylogger. What kind of hacker would even care about an obscure game like APB?

You have to be in the top half of the scoreboard for most of the time to climb. Ending up with 0 kills however doesn't affect threat even if you are at the bottom.

It is really just a noob stomper mod that trivializes the whole game. Idk who thought it was a good idea. At least back then the explosives were only rentals.

The problem with this game is that it never changes outside of things getting removed. if I login now, the game will be the same as it was 9 years ago... just with less players.

You are missing the point entirely. he is complaining about the matchmaking being bad not the players.

lmao such change will benefit the golds even more because they are usually always in stack and the other team will just have no clue what they are against.

How do you expect to get millions of players with this matchmaking?

Does he even need more? Every match is a 1 way stomp.

3 districts x 100 people right now

Probably. At least it is not like the engine update where the game ran worse even with barely any people on the server.

After playing for some time, the performance seems to be identical to how it was before. For some reason it was better on the test server. maybe I should try fresh install. at least it is not worse. Nice to see 100 people districts again. Also I am getting some weird bug where I can't see any objective markers and teammates until I die.

I knew i was playing against bots all this time.

Wow it is actually happening? it only took 10 years to have something shipped on live. I really hope it doesn't stop there.

Yup. groups ruin this game. If there were more players and bigger team sizes it wouldn't matter but now it is guaranteed to have at least 2 golds vs a silver and a bronze.

It is not the name but the substance that needs changing. Fix the game, add bunch of good new content and advertise the heck out of it.

Some quick first impression since didn't have time to play much: The game seems to run slightly better and maybe load faster which I really didn't expect. However, i get something like consistent frame skipping when moving the camera around (as if the game holds on a frame for longer than it should and then skips ahead. Similar to playing a streamed game on a weak connection) which is not present on live. I also get this file blocked by battleye which is also not happening on live: [INFO] Blocked loading of file: "C:\Program Files\Avira\Endpoint Protection SDK\amsi\x64\avamsi.dll"

That is exactly the problem. Instead of chasing unachievable things, they should have kept updating the game with actual content (or do it in parallel ) And now with only less than 200 people online, the game is as good as dead.
