Who would want the same name as someone who hides as the defending team in VIP missions?

If you think it's so OP, use it, abuse it. Don't let others have all the fun.

It was significantly better on Jericho 2 or 3 days ago, but currently it's bad again.

Increase the FPS limit without a 120hz monitor
BlatMan replied to BlatMan's topic in Guides, Tips and Strategy
Yes, afaik it tries to overclock ur monitor. A direct jump to 120hz will either cause u blue screen or brick ur monitor or allow u to have 120hz refresh rate. It should not overclock your monitor if you don't select the 120hz profile. I haven't tested it on AMD but it should be the same. All this does is adds a 120hz profile. If it does switch to 120hz, it's because the user accidentally chose it, or an application is automatically choosing it without the user knowing. I used this for over a year with a 60hz display without issues, with various drivers and GPUs. The last GPU I used it on was a GTX 970. I hope LO add the option to unlock the fps, or at minimum lets everyone have access to 120fps without needing a workaround. The 100fps limit doesn't make sense. -
We are banning for hacking and cheating
BlatMan replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
Quick carry is easy to do with just your fingers. V spamming is easy to do once you get rhythm. If the inventory doesn't lag, most players will switch their weapons fast. FairFight can quickly detect 2x running speed, and it's been detected for quite some time. The instant out of a car is a desync issue. Also, ghosters and griefers rarely get banned. It took 6 months to a year to ban a player that repeatedly griefed our clan whenever they were signed in. Then it took another 6 months to a year to ban their second account. Meanwhile, the streamer Summit, who did nothing but talk trash about the game, got a private GM who banned players for bumping into their vehicle during their stream. -
Issues I know you have: 1. ~150ms freeze every minute due to the garbage collection system kicking in. 2. FPS drops from excessive particles (explosions, graffiti, blood, etc.) 1 can't be fixed without modifying your ini files, but you will run the risk of getting out of memory errors or crashing changing it. 2 requires a newer generation GPU, and/or custom configs. This also explains why you are bronze.

Many players are limited to 101fps because they do not have a 120Hz or higher monitor. If you are one of these users, this guide is for you. Notes: This will not affect overall performance. If you do not get 100fps on average, you most likely will not benefit from this setting. For AMD GPUs, you might need to find an alternative solution. I do not have an AMD GPU to test with. (Feedback welcomed) Warning: DO NOT set your monitor's refresh rate to the 120hz. You will mostly likely get a black screen and may need to boot your PC in safe mode to fix it. APB does not care what your refresh rate is, it just looks at the extension blocks for a 120hz entry. Requirements: Custom Resolution Utility: - http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/custom_resolution_utility.html - https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU 1). Download CRU, extract the .zip file, and open the application. You should see something similar to this: 2a). Under "Standard resolutions" click "Add..." You should see a window popup. Enter "120" next to Refresh rate. 2b). If you do not have enough slots left for Standard resolutions, select click "Add..." under "Extension blocks." - In the popup window, click "Add..." under "Detailed resolutions." - For "Timing", select "Automatic - LCD Standard." Enter "120" next to Refresh rate. Click "OK", then click "OK" again. 3). Click OK on the main window, and the applications should close. 4). Inside the extracted folder, run the appropriate application. This will restart your graphics driver. - For users with a 64 Bit OS: "restart64programprogram" - For users with a 32 Bit OS: "restartprogramprogram" 5). Launch APB. When in game, open the chat box and type "/fps". You should now see 121 fps as the limit. - Now enjoy your extra 20 frames per second.

I like all the changes except for the N-HVR change. It doesn't make sense. When you hit, you expect a weapon to deal a specific amount of damage. It's bad enough that there's extreme damage dropoff on weapons that are accurate outside their minimum damage range. It's a heavy sniper rifle. I feel it should have a better role as an anti-vehicle weapon. I would reduce the player damage to 640, and increase the vehicle damage so it has similar damage per second as the DMR-AV. I would also look into increasing the minimum damage on various weapons, and widening the distance between min and max. For example, LMGs go from 100% damage down to 30% or so within a 10M distance.

Being bronze is fine when Im not getting graped by golds
BlatMan replied to Seedy's topic in General Discussion Archive
Threat is exactly what is making people not play. Every 3rd or 4th match the opposing team is suiciding and team killing, in an attempt to lower their threat, instead of playing the mission. Then when they finally go down a level they swap districts and beat down on the OP. -
[POLL] Should APB remove faction locked vehicles?
BlatMan replied to xPanzerShrekx's topic in General Discussion Archive
They should make equivalent top tier vehicles for both factions, but not necessarily the same vehicles. -
This has already been tested. The cloud services don't provide enough single thread performance, which is why Reloaded decided to stick with full servers. PUBG and Fortnite struggle to maintain 30tps when there's 100 players still alive, so the engine upgrade won't do much for performance.

Blurry/Ugly textures on cars and characters.
BlatMan replied to BlyatMan's topic in General Discussion Archive
APB has barely any graphics load other than particles. My GPU randomly drops to 2D clocks due to the low load. To the OP. The only thing that looks abnormal is the black rim pic. -
Should Free Players have customization options expanded?
BlatMan replied to JayedSkier's topic in General Discussion Archive
I see the double post bug still exits. -

BlatMan replied to JayedSkier's topic in General Discussion Archive
There should be extensions as a loyalty rewards. It stupid that you can spend thousands yet you're still limited if you run out of premium codes. -
Being bronze is fine when Im not getting graped by golds
BlatMan replied to Seedy's topic in General Discussion Archive
You were graped by fake golds. The real golds tie you to the radiator, and then take your whole clan down into the basement and grape you for decades, SOLO. There's no ganging involved. For those who don't get the reference: WKUK - S3 E13 We really need to remove threat or at least hide it. There's too much of a psychological impact for many players when they see a threat higher than them. I find it takes more work to dethreat to silver than to stay gold, even when just goofing off with friends instead of putting all effort into the mission. -
Community: Why is Waterfront always empty?
BlatMan replied to Memes's topic in General Discussion Archive
It's too open of a map. There's very little strategy involved fighting on it. You just equip a long range weapon and wait. There's a few tiny spots for close range combat, but getting into them can be impossible due to the spawn system. -
Only if they are within radar range. Blowing them up automatically gives your position away to any mediocre player.

It performs best in Asylum. In missions it's kind of useless. I wouldn't even of listed it if it didn't cause fps drops for anyone caught in the blast.

System req on Steam seem *kinda* outdated
BlatMan replied to Acornie's topic in General Discussion Archive
They need to update it for sure. The "Recommended" specs should be moved to "Minimum". Also having 7GB of free HDD space will not work. The game will crash with out of memory errors or freeze mid mission. You need at least 20GB space free with all the extra character assets that need to be downloaded and compiled. This is what I would recommend for anyone wanting stable fps. This will at least let players know that they may need to tweak a bit if they have lower hardware. OS: Windows 7 64-Bit Processor: Intel i7 2600k or better. Memory: 16GB (1600MHz or higher). Graphics: GTX 970 or better. Storage: SSD 40GB free. -

BlatMan replied to Acornie's topic in General Discussion Archive
Yes it does. Just look at task manager while in a district. -
The front clips on the low tier vehicles are all interchangeable. If you extract the models, there's 3 front ends for each vehicle. I'd love to have a Calabria front on the Veo.
-
Concussions are for people too, and much more effective. The only time I use percs is when I'm farming the grenade roll to unlock concs, otherwise I just shoot the player. They need to raise the ride height of the broadwing a few cm and stiffen the suspension slightly so it doesn't bottom out on the tiniest cracks.
-
Seriously though, they could use a hard damage increase. I find them kind of useless otherwise

If you got killed at 60M by a Carbine, another rifle would have killed you faster.
