Cap40 is a downgrade to OCA
BlatMan replied to TheHidden-Tember's topic in General Discussion Archive
Give the CAP40 the same base accuracy as the current OCA and call it a day. Maybe less people will complain about the N-TEC. -
Using the car surfer mod itself is exploiting more than this oversight. You can't shoot your weapon while holding a heavy item, but with the car surfer mod you can use a heavy weapon from a moving vehicle. Heavy weapons are suppose to be restricted when in a vehicle. Regardless, the easiest fix is to allow players to move while crouched with heavy items.

System Specs? I run APB above 100fps most of the time. It has the typical short stutter each minute and will drop a bit when there's 20+ players running around, but otherwise it runs fine. Specs in sig.

Sick of getting rolled by groups of GOLDs in bronze /d
BlatMan replied to Seedy's topic in General Discussion Archive
True, but most real dethreaters I see intentionally team kill and suicide to lower their score for faster dethreating. There's also the players who refuse to play the mission, but most of those, at least from my experience, are not trying to dethreat, although they should be punished the same for wasting the opposition's time. -

They could track suicide and team kills. No legit player is going to get 10+ every time they sign in. -
This should be an in game option. Currently I rename the instruments folder to disable them, but then I can't edit in the music studio or hear friend's custom music.

Innova, the Russian version, gave you 30 joker tickets each day you logged in.

I support this. The crouch speed is too slow. Your hitbox is taller while crouch walking, it's currently too dangerous to crouch walk since your character can barely move. It's safer to just sprint.
-
They should revert it back to using the APBEngine.ini, like the Unreal Engine does by default. That would be the easiest solution for now.
-
I would like the option to permanently disable idle animations. It often gives away your position.

It's not an issue with just the vaquero, all vehicles come close to max speed at the end of 3rd gear. The same thing happens when you use nos in 2nd or 3rd gear. You will reach max speed, then decelerate even though the engine sounds like it's still increasing RPM.

Changes planned about the hitbox and damage ?
BlatMan replied to Damned00's topic in General Discussion Archive
BH probably stands for Bluehole. OP is having PUBG flashbacks. Weapons are balanced around the single, large hitbox. It would require too much work to implement, and wouldn't work right anyway with the current hitscanning. APB is not a military simulator, it's an arcade shooter with a ton of lore. Next you're going to ask for FPP mode. -
They only got banned because they're popular. If it was a non streamer it would have taken months for the PUBG team to do anything, if they even decided to take action. As for APB, players should be banned for playing with cheaters on extreme cases, but I'm not sure how this can be efficiently enforced. Maybe FF can record the last 20 members of the groups you joined. When a player gets banned for cheating, those 20 players receive a strike. When you get X strikes, you receive an email and in game letter warning you. If you get another strike, you get a 1h temp ban, and the ban duration doubles each strike after. Strikes get removed after so many months. This might help segregate the cheaters because their friends won't want to play with them after receiving a temp ban when their friend creates their 10th character than month, but knowing the community I can see this backfiring and create a wave of rage cheaters.

In the Nvidia control panel set Power management mode to prefer maximum performance. Also disable HPET in your BIOS if available. Mine gets stuck at 80fps if it's enabled. Also, I had a weird issue with OBS lowering my fps with it just open in the background, but not streaming or recording.

I have the same problem on another account. I had an old G1 account that I used to play Warrock on. I never got the password reset email and support did not respond.

Your pole only has opinions I disagree with.

The only thing negative about the NL9 is the bullet magically disappearing at 60M. Being serious here. Percs need their throw time reduced. They take longer to leave your hand than other grenades. I'm sure the silvers and yellows will hate this change, but I feel it would balance percs, and make them a viable option for higher ranks who have low-yields unlocked.
-
They need to revert all the changes back in 2015 that made weapons behavior change while shooting.
-
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.
