The ddos attacks were the coverups. This time they have someone else to blame.

How about Chambered Round and SMG silencer? https://apbdb.com/build/Weapon_SMG_TommyGun_Slot2/?mods=FnMod_Weapon_ChamberedRound_Armas,FnMod_Weapon_Silencer_SMG

One thing I forget to ask before. Make sure your RAM is running at 3000mhz. Enable XMP and select the 3000Mhz profile in your BIOS. APB performs best on an SSD. An HDD will have worse loading times. I run APB on a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB NVMe. Avg fps is over 100fps, with dips into the 80s when there's 20+ players crammed together in mission districts. With your hardware you should be getting the same or better. I still get those 1s stutters. They're impossible to get rid of with the current game. It's a side effect of APB being 32 bit. It can only use 3.5GB of RAM. It has to clear out unused resources when that limit is reached, which causes the stutter. It's slowly gotten worse over the years with the added content.

Gonna need another decimal place in the fps counter.

Then we get Prestige, like cod where you reset back to lvl 1 and have to grind all the ranks and achievements again. Players with 5 stars ranked 5 times.

They need to limit lag compensation so players with high ping can't shoot you behind cover. I tested with my ping set to 3000ms and I was still able to land shots on low latency players who were behind cover on their screen.

I used to slap muzzle break on the tommy, but then LO reduced the recoil so now I shoot at the ground if I do that

Yall wanted ttk increased. Medspray buff increases ttk. But seriously, remove the double heal rate. Medspray was already game breaking without it.

They let you remove blood, smoke, muzzle flash, grenade explosions, etc. You can stream your game live on twitch with all those modified files and nothing happens. You can even throw in a silent aim hack or triggerbot and it's perfectly a ok to stream. But, maybe using your graphics card driver is where they'll draw the line.

More like 1 million for the game, 99 million for PR.

Can Little Orbit legally make an APB 2? I thought they sold the APB branding to another company.

How about giving GMs the ability to remove players when they're running faster than a vegas in front of them.

There's multiple versions of the GTX 1650. One has GDDR5 memory, the others have GDDR6. The GDDR6 models have the same crashing issue, "Ran out of memory", as the RTX cards. Use GPUz or CPUz to check which memory type you have.

d3d9.dll is not part of APB. You probably have an overlay or custom shader like sweetfx adding it. Disable in game overlays in all of your applications like Discord, Steam, RivaTuner, MSI Afterburner, etc.

There's also audio latency with most USB DACs. If your DAC supports ASIO, use VB-Audio ASIO Bridge, Voicemeeter, or ASIO4ALL to connect to the ASIO interface. For me it reduced latency by about 100ms in APB.

Blocking client modding is a feature built into the game, but it's not enabled for most files. G1 enabled it on most vehicle related upk files when they started encrypting them. You don't need a 3rd party anticheat to do it. Innova / 4Game, the Russian version, blocked custom shaders with it. My guesses are it puts too much strain on the servers and LO don't have enough staff to work on it. It could have been hard coded per file for all I know.

I'd say screw it and walk the heavy item.

In all seriousness, some streamers use modified .upk files. They have links to these modified in their stream. These are not .ini config files, they are encrypted .upk files being modified. LO approved some of them for the first Beta test, so I'm guessing those kinds of edits are allowed.

Clotting agent adds x seconds to the healing multiplier. Medspray halfs / multiplies the healing multiplier. Medspray gets applied first, then clotting is added on. It does speed up healing, but it's less than 3 seconds between CA3 and CA3+medspray. That's also if you're at 1hp. If you use it at higher hp, the time difference is less. It's not a useless combo, but it has very limited use. Still, I don't think it's balanced stacking HP mods. They should make medspray a green mod and remove "doubles base health regen." It was overpowered prior just not many people had access to unlimited medsprays back then.

No matter where they connect it's going to be bad. Having stable servers would at least give them consistent latency and less stuttering movement. Both are bad. West seems to have worse tickrate spikes than east going by /latencytest in game, but it's hard to get a good comparison with the inconsistent district population. There's tons of 50ms, 20 tps or worse spikes on both. I'm guessing they're running bare minimum server requirements to save money. There's usually 3 combat districts in use, 1 bronze, 1 silver, 1 fightclub. The other 10 or so districts are untouched. Removing them and upgrading to a better host/server to keep the tickrate closer to 30 tps would be ideal. Easier said than done to migrate them, and LO is probably stuck with a contract with the current provider.

What's the point of maintenance? Nothing gets fixed. You continue to double your server costs by splitting NA servers between east and west, while providing the worst possible latency for half of the US. Go back to US central servers. They provided the lowest average latency between players on NA, and I bet it would save you on server cost since you wouldn't need double the servers. You could even cut server costs by not having green or gold districts. They rarely get used due to low pop.

CPU/motherboard/Ram that can run APB at 120+ fps, you can get under $200 US prices. Most expensive part will be the GPU. Still, a GTX 650 Ti ($100) is good enough if you don't mind using the advanced launcher. If I couldn't afford that, I would put effort into finding a better job and reducing my living cost, rather than grind my APB characters to max rank. If they're a young kid I understand though. It was difficult for me to get high end hardware then, I ended up splitting my upgrades across b-days and holidays.

The in game stats are wrong. They have the same range. https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Pistol_RFP9 https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Pistol_RFP9-SD_PR1_Armas

It's 2s plus some if you use it instantly. It negates the disadvantage of CA3 over CA2. Before when it only started the healing, it did not affect CA3. 2s doesn't sound like much but getting that little extra HP in does help, otherwise no one would use CA3 to begin with.

"Doubles base health regeneration for 5 seconds." This is why LO make such weird balance changes. People can't even read the descriptions in game.
