    When the radar tower is close to an enemy spawn point, every enemy spawning will be permanently spotted on the radar until the player dies or the vehicle is being destroyed.

     

    I was not aware of this.

    Good to know.

     

    As far as the other complaints with regards to the suggested removal of certain Mods/Weapons in Fight Club,

    such as "Explosive Weapons", Radar Tower, Car Spawner......

     

    I say... NO way.

    Keep them in.

     

    Are these annoying to some players ?

    Sure.

     

    So what ...

    Boo f*cken Hoo...

     

    "But it messes up my FPS"

    Use the Advanced Launcher, or upgrade your 2004 computer.

     

    "But it's like Wall Hacking"

    Although there are very few, if any cheaters since PunkBuster, FairFight , BattleEye & FairFight have been implemented,

    Radar Tower will aggravate some of them that slipped through. 

    Besides, it makes me smile . 😀

     

    So many times in FC  I see all these crazy symbols in my radar...

    I see OPP's Radar Tower, Vehicle Spawn ..   etc

    I will often dedicate a full FC mission to destroy all opposition assets.

    Yeah, I drive around with the purpose of destroying the OPP's assets.

    All of them.

     

    That's what I do.

     

    Is that not part of the strategy and team play ?

     

    And so you got 'owned' by a 195+ mod...... and the solution is to remove it ... ?

     

    I VOTE NO !!!

     

     

    EDIT:

    As a follow up, specific to the OP's post.

    If the Radar Tower is indeed bugged.,.,, than it needs to be fixed .

     

    Peace out.

    I play once or twice a week, and usually during any of these two sessions,

    I inevitably experience a "crash" that provides the following option ....

    Not always, but at least 1 in 3 crashes during a 2hr session..

    Are these still useful ??

    Should we continue to send these Crash Reports ?

     

     

    Thank you ...

     

     

    EDIT: If these reports are no longer needed, I can just close out the window ...

     

    Thanks

    I do have an older mouse.

    Microsoft USB IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0

     

    This issue has been happening to me off an on for a few years in this game alone.

    Will experience the issue for a few weeks, and usually after an APB update, the issue is corrected.

    No problems for months, and then the issue comes back.

    I don't know if DDOS mitigation could be a factor.

     

    When I 1st had this issue, I thought that the RMB was faulty, and time for a new mouse.

    But when playing another game that uses RMB to zoom in, never a problem, only this game.

     

    I'll get a new mouse and see if that resolves the issue.

     

    EDIT:

    I tried a wireless mouse that I had laying around, and RMB was working as intended.

    Odd that the RMB would intermittently fail like that.

    Time for a new mouse.

     

    Thanks

    just stop pressing shift when you aim , simple as that

     

    If you press the sprint button while aiming it will siply kick you out of marskmanship mode , that's why it doesn't happen against civilians , either because you're not in the tention of the fight or not moving

     

    BUT , if you have shift pressed and aim while keeping shift pressed i will not kick you out , but let'as say you don't properly hold shift while fireing  (because of the heat of the fight) you might acidentally unpress shift for a few miliseconds and might end up in you pressing it again , thus kicking you out of the marksmanship mode .

     

     

    or it could be your keyboard that as a very bad anti ghosting feature / worn keys.

     

    And please before responding , try those scenarios yourself .

    I thought that I may have been pressing the SHIFT key periodically over the years.

     

    So I logged into the Financial Server to test this out.

    No OPP, just aiming at NPC’s.

     

    ( I was incorrect when I stated "This does NOT happen when aiming & shooting at NPC's ...   ie civilians ...  only opposition." )

     

    Apparently this bug is prevalent when just aiming.

    ·         Not moving

    ·         Crouch mode

    ·         Not strafing Left or Right

    ·         No Shift Key pressed

    ·         Just looking around

     

     

    It looks like I should submit a support ticket ...

     

    Thanks for the input.

    Marksmanship Mode Bug:

    https://forums-old.gamersfirst.com/topic/298049-marksmanship-mode-bug/

    Old Forums......

     

     

     

     

    I have been experienced this bug for the last few months. (2018), and periodically over the last few years..

    Usually, this issue is resolved after a "Patch Update".

    This is no longer the case.

     

     

    Issue:

    When pressing "Right Mouse Button" (RMB) to go into Marksmanship mode (as a toggle)

    when aiming in on Opposition, Marksmanship mode toggles back to "Standard View" ..

     

    This does NOT happen when aiming & shooting at NPC's ...   ie civilians ...  only opposition.

     

    "Flippy-Flop"......   as the user battles the "zoom-out"  bug , back and forth, re-pressing the RMB to obtain Marksmanship mode.

    Marksmanship mode cannot be maintained..

     

    Changing the Marksmanship mode from "Toggle" to "Hold" does help a bit,   but only for a short while,

    as the "un-Zoom" /No-Marksmanship mode battle continues.

     

     

    Question:

    The posts that have been submitted in the APB Forum/Bug section,

    are these "Defects" entered into the LO's support system for follow up ,

    or .........

     

    Should users SKIP the Forum/Bug sub forum, and move directly to the support system for traceability ... ?

    I remember when 3-4 years ago there were different forum sections depending on language. It was an awesome place for people that doesn't have a big knowledge of english. It will also bring more people to the forums.

     

    I remember that I known a lot of people that speak spanish like me, or clans from my country, something that is positive for all the players. It will be nice to have a little community for each language.

     

    They also translated important post into that language! So if its needed I can help doing that work! 

    Not a bad idea.

    We should create a list of different languages to support.

     

    - English

    - Spanish

    - Portuguese 

    - Russian ?

    - .......

    @SilverCrow,

    Good to see you back...

     

    I miss (the now defunk) unofficial apb blog.

    Always a good read.

     

    EDIT:

    Do "toggler's" & "closets" still exist ?

     

    Haha... yes, and some are most obvious.

     

    Oh well.

    we require you to be competent and not an annoying 12 year old, so i assume your friend was one of the two 🙂

    please feel free to rejoin and talk to an admin

    Not sure who the "friend" is, as I was alone at the time.

    As far as my competency level, I am hoping after a brief discussion on discord, I might alleviate any concerns.

    Haha...

     

    Will talk to you all in a few days.  (out of town ATM)

    That was my fault on the no response portion, we were in a mission and the person that had the link for this forum, was trying not go get killed lol. After he died he was able to post it, but I think you had left at that point. Feel free to message me ingame again, more than happy to resend the link.

    Much thanks.

    I'll hop on to discord when I get back in town.

    what i've learnt from this thread:

    don't let grandpa use the pc again

    We try and limit Internet access to both grandpa and grandma, although grandma loves her facebook.

    Thankfully we were able to discourage grandpa from creating a twitter account.

    That would have been a disaster.
