No shit. They purposely put that message to be vague. They could have shown the generic ban code, or even better, not banned the account at all and instead generate a customer support ticket to look at it. I thought that's what they were going to do since they seem iffy about banning players to begin with. Come on LO, at least be consistent. Then again, I guess random is technically consistent if the result is always random.

In the past, my game crashed if I switched districts too many times, even after the 64bit update. I wonder if the servers have the same issue with players constantly switching districts due to the cross-district matchmaking.

The range wasn't the problem with the Scout. The problem was you can hit players while jumping behind walls. Besides, the reason the Scout's jump shot was nerfed is because Reloaded wanted to milk the whales. They released the Dogear in the same patch, which has the ability to jump shoot.

"If we have 100% confidence that you are cheating, then you can be banned at our discretion. We have found that there are some players who cheat at a level there is no other solution. We have to ban them. It's unfortunate, but we can't ignore it. Cheat at your own risk. You may lose your account." In other words, you will ignore players who are 100% cheating. If you were really going to put in any effect, you will have said "will" instead of "can" and "may"

Does your mouse have custom profiles per game? Maybe that's interfering. I can't think of anything else.

Green? Do they play 1 mission, then go afk for the next 100? Seriously, green is much harder to hold than bronze if they're actually participating in the missions.

What broke this time? I'm just curious.

True. EAC wasn't any better and they allowed it. Then again, there's like what, 4 people including myself? I don't spend money on the game, and probably won't with current management.

Idk how SARD can support Linux without opening security holes. The best thing to have is server sided detection, but I doubt LO will ever get that working. Remember phasing for matchmaking? That never happened.

I've been here since 2012 or maybe even 2011. The majority of dethreaters were silver threat, but they got gold because they didn't have better players to fight in the lower threat districts. The people complaining about them are people who expect the game to play itself.

I think Matt is just really good at finding stupid investors.

I remember one who's aim kept getting locked to consumables. Must have been a free cheat.

Back in 2012, your notoriety affected your mission bonuses. I wouldn't mind seeing that feature return.

A ban list is useless if the company is ignoring cheaters. PUBG does a weekly ban list. There's often 200,000 accounts banned. Most, if not all of those accounts, do not make it into a match. Meanwhile, PUBG partners can use cheats and won't get banned.

Do something financially responsible? That's not how Little Orbit functions.

Your notoriety rating transfers over from the previous mission, and only criminals can pay off their notoriety. It wasn't balanced. Everyone can eventually reach notoriety 5 if they do anything meaningful during the missions. It didn't just screw over cheaters, it screwed over anyone who can left click or press F. I guess you don't remember cheaters getting onto roofs with notoriety 5 and griefing missions until they ran out of ammo. Besides, they left it enabled in fight club, and that's the preferred gamemode for cheaters.

There is a little beep when you've recovered most of your health, but it's inconsistent. Sometimes it beeps at full health, sometimes only at 75HP. Idk if it's desync, or if it's not timed properly for clotting agent.

This mindset is why there's so many cheaters. Why the hell are you even playing a pvp game if you hate competition?

Just an FYI. Steam recently released an update that causes Linux games to stutter. I saw a few posts on the Reddit about recent performance problems with Steam launched games. Apparently Valve broke something with their overlay that causes games to stutter. Turning off the overlay within Steam does not fix the problem. Add "LD_PRELOAD=" to your launch options in Steam. This will completely disable the Steam overlay, but at least your games won't stutter. LD_PRELOAD="" %command% If you use custom configs and use the method in OP's post to copy them at launch, insert it after the copy command, or the second semi-colon. %command%; yes | cp -rf "$HOME/apbconfig"/* "$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH"/; LD_PRELOAD="" $HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/reaper SteamLaunch AppId=113400 -- $HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper -- $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point --verb=waitforexitandrun -- "${STEAM_COMPAT_TOOL_PATHS%%:*}"/proton waitforexitandrun "$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/Binaries/APB.exe" -nomovies -nosteam https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11446 https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1gpkcfm/psa_workaround_for_stuttering_when_moving_cursor/ https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1gc3xt0/experiencing_weird_kind_of_stutter_after_playing/

APB doesn't have enough range to separate cqc and mid range rifles. 100M is still SMG territory in many other games.

You're changing too many weapons at the same time. At this rate, we're going to end up in the same balance place as before, but with faster average ttk.

Before continuing, I have no idea if this method of extracting APB models is SARD safe. I have tested it on Linux, but not on Windows. I have very little experience with 3D rendering and using Linux. These are the steps I took to get it working, but there's probably a better way. I found an application called RenderDoc. It can be used to capture frames through Vulkan. https://renderdoc.org/ https://github.com/baldurk/renderdoc 1. Install APB through Steam. 2. Install Ge-Proton as a compatibility tool. I use GE-Proton9-10. - More detailed info in this thread: 5. In General, set the the Launch Options to "ENABLE_VULKAN_RENDERDOC_CAPTURE=1 %command%" without the quotes. 6. In Compatibility, check in "Force the use ..." and select GE-Proton9-10. 7. Install RenderDoc. I followed this guide and installed it to "/opt/RenderDoc", but it can be installed anywhere: https://theanswers42.com/2020/08/21/installing-renderdoc-on-linux-the-road-to-happiness/ 8. Open RenderDoc. I just used the terminal command "qrenderdoc" 9. Launch APB by clicking the play button on Steam. 10. Once in the Lobby, go back to RenderDoc. Click File > Attach to Running Instance, and select Wine64-preloader. 10. On the Lobby, you should see the RenderDoc UI on the top left. If not, RenderDoc is not running, and you'll need to troubleshoot. 11. Join Social and go to a customization kiosk. Once loaded into the kiosk, try capturing a frame by pressing F12 or Print Screen. 12. In RenderDoc, click File > Open Capture. Open the capture file /tmp/wine64-preloader_randomnumbers.rdc 13. If successful, you should now see a list of processes on the Event Browser. For me, the character model and textures are located under "Color Pass #3" 14. To save the textures and meshes, go to the Texture tab and click the little save button. It's the floppy disk. Do the same on the Meshes tab. Now you should be able to import the models to your favorite 3D model editor. Blender can import CSV files, but I'm not sure about other app capabilities.

You might be able to get RenderDoc working in Linux. I'm not sure if SARD will stop it. I haven't tried it. Actually, I did try it and it seems to work. https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/120-the-amazing-apb-reloaded-3d-render-community/?do=findComment&comment=252086 https://renderdoc.org/ These threads might help you set it up. https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/20780-apb-130-on-linux-now-including-easy-non-steam-method/ https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/iw2mgi/need_help_attaching_renderdoc_to_steam_game/

How are cheaters going to earn points if you can't even detect a player running too fast?

Do you use a mouse with a higher polling rate, and if so, does it cause the fps to drop when set higher than 250hz? I have this issue on Debian and Nobara, running APB through Steam and later versions of GE-Proton. The Proton version doesn't seem to affect it.
