  1. You mean like how the in game report system says it did something when in reality it does not.
  2. Honestly think these are bots. That channel looks and sounds the same as those ai generated bots that read off wikipedia articles and mix in stock footage.
  3. It thinks Rigol's oscilloscopes driver is a cheat, and occasionally blocks firefox when opening Armas.
  4. If that were true 98% of the players would use the Raptor 45.
  5. Found in VehicleDecals. I also recommend checking out the TESDecals.upk. Lots of unused symbols.
  6. LO won't ban cheaters even if they livestream with boxes showing players through walls.
  7. Same. G1 said they couldn't migrate the current engine to 64 bit. Than again, G1 said they couldn't add things to the GUI yet Little Orbit managed to add extra options and make the trade system. In the end it doesn't matter. Still going to play till the game is dead. Most AAA multiplayer games are the same thing year after year. No point in getting another COD or Battlefield when the old ones play better.
  8. Two things can be true. Dat needs to git gud, and LO need to ban the few blatant cheaters that exist. Most of them live stream or post clips on Youtube. It's not hard to find them, but it's pointless submitting tickets to support if they're going to ignore it. Matt wants to bring back EAC, but I don't see that making a difference if support continues to ignore the obvious.
  9. A 2015 video about switching to your FBW instead of shooting your n-tec.
  10. From my perspective we never had middle threat. Even at APB's peak population, gold threat was basically the skill floor. I got to gold the first day I played, and I had no idea what I was doing. I've seen many players do the same. During threat segregation the bronze district was basically the training district. I went in it on a smurf account. It felt like everyone was stoned off their ass. They all just stood in the open and complained when they died.
  11. Also, zero information on why you refuse to ban players who openly livestream cheating. All you do is delete posts discussing it. Do you want your game to be represented cheaters? Is that your target audience?
  12. Did your wife's boyfriend finally let you out of the basement?
  13. Their offices are no longer listed on google maps.
  14. Even APB isn't safe from the video generating bots.
  15. A 1U server off ebay for $400 can run one region. Only need 2 of them. The character databases won't be cheap though, at least not if they're doing proper backups and testing restores.
  16. I bet the databases are manually backed up instead of done incrementally throughout the week.
  17. Getting that many General Protection Fault crashes usually means a component in your PC is unstable. I would run prime95 with large FFT for a few hours and see if has any errors. If no errors try turning off the efficiency cores in the bios. I'm not sure how APB handles those.
  18. I found 3 on the website, and 1 not listed because it happened during the first wave. Not sure why pogo is listed. I only remember them making music and weird dance videos.
  19. It displays a message in game. I don't see extra data being sent when submitting a report so I doubt it submits a report.
  20. Here's my fps averages in FRAPS. Tested driving around the Double B area on a 60+ player financial. It does stutter, but not any worse than it did back in 2012. Min: 86, Max: 146, Average: 128 CPU: Xeon W3680 - 4.25Ghz RAM: 12GB DDR3 2133Mhz 9-10-10-24 1T GPU: GTX 1080 Display: 1440p 144hz Biggest improvement to FPS was disabling HPET in the BIOS and in Windows. With HPET enabled it causes it to drop below 30fps while turning the camera. HPET is enabled by default on some motherboards. Some don't even let you turn it off.
  21. Most likely it was the DMR. There's two versions. DMR-SD and DMR-AV. DMR-AV does more vehicle damage. Both have damage ramp up, rather than damage drop, that starts at 80M and ends at 95M. These are one of the the few non ltl weapons that are capable of stunning. https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_SniperRifle_DMR_Slot3_Armas https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_SniperRifle_DMR-AV_PR2 DMR-SD: HP: 400 / 600 Stamina: 400 / 600 Vehicle: 108 / 162 DMR-AV: HP: 400 / 600 Stamina: 400 / 600 Vehicle: 180 / 270
  22. ftfy But in all seriousness it's usually the non regional players who cheat. Exception being China. Cheating is worst on those servers no matter what game you play.
  23. I almost forgot about BungMonkey. I don't think there's an out of bounds area he hasn't been to. Dude is a master of getting onto roofs.
  24. Not really. Client performance was roughly the same without modified configs. Servers were crashing (instability, ddos). Physics would break server sided, causing things such as the ambulance and jeep to do a front flip while driving in reverse. The only obvious difference is the network latency, but that's not the fault of the current game, it's the improperly configured anti-ddos protection. There were less assets (cars, clothing, symbols, etc), so you could get away with a lower end PC. On a higher end PC, ( i7 990X, DDR3 2133Mhz, GTX 780), not much has changed. The GTX 780 stutters when someone hits you with a shotgun. It wasn't until the GTX 900 series that GPUs were able to handle the framerate eating particle effects. Even then enough cars blowing up will drop you into the single digits.
