It runs better than expected. I didn't notice the typical freezes every minute like you get on the live version. One thing visually I didn't like is the blue hue on shadows. It doesn't look right. There's also too much bloom in general.

The servers need to be stable to balance weapons properly. Most weapons kill with 1-2 less hits, and often shoot faster. They're not actually shooting faster, the server is lagging behind.

Honestly, that would perfectly balance waterfront.

Buff jump accuracy of other SMGs. Problem solved.

Does your mouse have DPI adjustment? If so, increase the DPI and lower your in game sensitivity to compensate for it. This will make the mouse send more movement updates, thus be less skippy. Setting Low Latency Mode to Ultra only has a positive effect if your GPU is maxed out. It's basically the old Prerendered Frames option, with some minor tweaks to reduce input lag at high GPU loads. Off = Auto, On = 1, Ultra = 0. You get lower input lag by keeping your GPU under 99% load. Reducing the in game graphics will have a better effect in that regard.

We need better servers for sure. The move to AWS was a kick in the teeth. G1 did a whole analysis on it. AWS performed the worse, and not much changed with their servers since.

Was that before or after the joker carbine switching from 5 shots to 6 and the OBIR having it's TTK increased?

It didn't help matters back then. It was just a way for cheat communities and silvers to jerk each other in the same space. But it doesn't matter because they're not issuing bans for abusive players . Been reporting the same deathreating group for a few years now. G1 and LO don't care enough to take action.

It's kinda pointless since we have text chat. If someone has a mic they're better off using discord since it doesn't crash every other match.

The limits are needed to reduce loading times. What you need to focus on is maximizing what you can achieve within said limits. Here's some tips: Avoid rotating symbols when possible, especially circles. Rotating adds data, and rotating a circle doesn't change how it looks. Reusing the same symbol/decal adds less data than using a different symbol/decal. Don't add clothing items you can't see, like socks under boots and jeans. Clearing a clothing slot deselects your underwear, which frees up a little space.

Quit nerfing weapons. You nerf one, another becomes more viable. You nerf that one, then another. Eventually we're going to have the min ttk of 20 minutes.

For me, west coast servers are unplayable at best. I have constant packet loss. It says 0 packet loss in game, but it's wrong because a large amount of my shots do not register server sided. West coast in APB has always been like this. It's not a new issue.

It looks like a camera with poorly implemented HDR. Rather than gain detail, you lose detail. It's not as bad as what G1 did with the excessive bloom and blue instagram filter, but still how could anyone think this is normal looking?

Ntec needs shovel stock skin.

The DMR-AV and steel plating mods are fine. Most likely what happened was they had a player using blowtourch to repair the vehicle faster than you can deal damage.

East has better latency. West has packet loss.

1.560 sec time to stun. Swapping that to lethal damage would not make this weapon OP. If a player has time to land 3 hits, they would have killed you faster with any other primary weapon.

With the current district configuration and player population on NA, there is a 25% chance that there is a playable server, 12.5% chance I can rank up. 50% chance I can connect to the populated district due to being gold threat. 50% chance it's a district I need for ranking up my character. 50% chance that the district is on the east coast (West has bad packet loss atm) Then on top of it, the 40/40 player population means I will be fighting the same team every mission due to how matchmaking works. Dethreaters and trolls, who refuse to play the missions, have still not been dealt with. The odds now go even lower that I will get a mission that I gain a reasonable amount of standing in, if I gain any standing at all.

They need to remove the east/west server split too and go back to central servers. It's 50/50 if there's going to be a server available that I can even connect to without desync issues.

Logical solutions on the APB forums? Get out of here with that!

Sure add it. The gun is trash since they reduced the max range on it.

On the forums I don't hear "tick, tick, tick" when someone's rage whispering me.

APB is one of the few games that still has proper sound panning when wearing headphones. I'm really hoping the engine upgrade doesn't screw this up. Seems like all the new shooters base their sound off of TV speaker position, so you end up with sound cutting hard left/right when only turning a few degrees. I have never seen this weapon show up on radar. Besides, G1 broke the radar after adding that weapon.

Currently there's a bug that causes your character to slide instead of stopping if the fps is over 120.

Go to the install directory. Delete the two files "APB Reloaded\Engine\Config\BaseCompat.ini" and "APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config\APBCompat.ini" After that, run a repair from the launcher. If using Steam, verify the game files first. The repair button ignores those files if they were modified.
