I've been reporting the same 2 players since LO took over. I would say on average 20 reports a week if they play daily. Most are in game reports, but I do send multiple screenshots with time/date/server every so often to customer support. Nearly every match they AFK, teamkill and suicide, while avoiding the mission objectives. Clearly that's not considered harassment or dethreating.

Ban everyone who has over 200ms latency. Hitreg fixed. But on a serious note, we need regional districts (not just worlds) with ping filtering to improve the game's responsiveness. G1 discussed this a while back. We don't have a large enough population for that system to work atm. We can barely fill 2 servers as is.

Why do you even bother signing in? You just rage quit mid mission.

Same damage, but 10M less base range. https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_Pistol_RFP9-Sight_PR1_Armas https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_Pistol_RFP9-SD_PR1_Armas https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_Pistol_RFP9 I actually like the names RFP9-Sight and RFP9-SD. It better defines what each weapon is. Sight is for range, SD is for silence, like every other weapon. I hate the names they give weapons. I think only legendary weapons should have custom names, but I'm going off topic here.

Each generation processor has gained single thread performance, and APB uses multiple threads. There's some new features that need to be disabled to get the most out of the latest hardware, like HPET, but otherwise it will run APB better than the previous generations. High speed RAM also contributes to the single thread performance gains. Besides, I know damn well you're not going to get over 100fps on a stock core 2 duo in a full action district. Even back in RTW it wasn't happening. Even if the game wasn't as CPU heavy back then, the GPU power required to render APB's horribly done particles wasn't available back then.

G1 tried using consumer PCs with no disk or power redundancy, and then overclocked them. They constantly crashed, who would have guessed? They then switched to softlayer since it provided the best performance for their needs, then G1 or LO switched to Amazon. Amazon AWS had the worst performance of all the server providers G1 tested, but considering their previous attempts, I doubt they put any effort into optimizing it.

Try using it. If it's blocked Battleye will block APB from launching. You won't get banned.

The lowest I would go is an overclocked Core 2 Quad or the Xeon equivalent X5400 series, clocked to at least 4GHz. Even then you'll get a lot of stutter. A dual core will bog APB down. APB maxes out 2 threads most of the time in action districts, and then has dozens of other small threads running. I have a 6-core CPU. APB has 46% CPU utilization while in social. One core is at about 90%, one is about 60%, and the rest fluctuate. This usage goes higher in action districts, up to about 60% full utilization.

The act 44 still has a really high draw time, so the FBW will win in most fights. The FBW was 5 shots, so was the joker carbine. The OSMAW had no timer, and the N-TEC could be effectively used at 80M.

Need more details. Which i3, which GPU? We also have no idea what you mean by maximum fps. 60, 120. 9000 fps? I know for sure any GPU with only 2GB VRAM would struggle to run the latest games over 60fps with max graphics. The best would be a GTX 960 or GTX 1050. They will run APB at 100fps on 1080p regardless. A solid state drive only helps for the first few minutes after loading into a district, after that you're at the mercy of the garbage collector being overwhelmed by memory leaks.

Are you saying players with lower spec PCs are causing the servers to crash? That does not make sense. Worst case they will warp around a little due to sending less data to the servers. If anything, players running APB at 144fps stand a better chance at crashing the servers, but only if the netcode is directly linked to the framerate. As far as I'm aware it's not. My theory is a cheat developer is other player's PCs by adding a botnet to their cheats. A bit farfetched, but it seems pretty easy to do.

I have multiple stacks. I still have not seen a nano on any character. I think the percentages should be doubled, or maybe add a feature so doing daily activities significantly increases the chances of rare dailies.

It's 1 value they need to change. It shouldn't take more than a few seconds to fix.

Contact support. Give them as much info as needed. You most likely will need to provide purchase history on Armas to recover the account.

It looks like Jericho just got hit again. Baylon shipping crashed or everyone disconnected. EDIT: It crashed. It's no longer displaying in the district list:

Everyone who's not max threat can fight together and there wouldn't be much difference. The only real issue is full max threat groups being placed against randoms. Even then, the reason randoms have so much trouble is due to VOIP not working for many players. If VOIP worked they could at least manage, and it would be easier to make friends.

Use the in game report. It's faster. If it's configured right, LO shouldn't need to manually sort through each report.

Why do you care? You never play the missions anyway.

They removed the free G1C rewards. I can't speak for LO but I'm guessing they didn't make much money off of it. Most of those services were shady anyway. By me a lot of teens shovel in the winter and cut the grass in the summer to earn some cash. If your parents are uncomfortable giving you their credit card, they could get a prepaid card with limited funds on it. Paysafecard seems to be the easiest approach if they're available in your area.

4:3 stretched? The heck you smoking? Proceeds to play at 1440p

APB crashes less. In all seriousness though, if people just invested a little bit of that into their PCs APB would be much more enjoyable for them. I've spent about $100 of my own money. The rest was gifts and free G1C back when Warrack was still a thing.

There's Spanish, French, and Portuguese on Jericho that do the same thing. It doesn't ruin the game. You really should see a therapist if seeing Russians on a European server bothers you that much. It sounds like you're new to third person games.

What's up with APB players hating Russians? It's not like district chat is any more legible without them.

What are your system specs? APB stutters no matter what hardware you have. Those that say otherwise are lying. Better hardware will reduce the stutters, but they won't go away.

Used to have less than 30ms when joker/jericho was on the east coast. Constantly got killed by high ping players who can shoot you a second after you get behind cover. Now I have about 50ms, with the same players abusing their high ping to shoot you behind cover.
