The issue is you can't just leave the match. If I'm on the opposing team, I rather have the match end early than sit there for a few minutes. I can think of a dozen other solutions, but the core issue is everyone in the mission is locked in the mission until the time runs out.

Some of them were banned during EAC era, but LO lifted their bans. I remember one wiping their twitch and youtube channel to try to hide it after the ban. Another posted about it on the forums but left their past broadcasts available, which shown them auto-aim. I saw the same names multiple times on the in-game FairFight announcement, but the tracking site only shows the first ban. It also didn't tell you all their characters, which meant people hiding could first login to their no name character, and if not banned, then switch to their known characters. Tiggs would manually ban players for arbitrary reasons, which I've seen while I was in-game. I don't remember that. Was it a "hack" or was it the phone acting as a gateway and interacting with the network packets for APB? I remember there being something about hijacking user sessions, but I can't remember if that was APB or the Unreal 3 engine in general.

It runs in a Windows virtual machine. Not ideal, but at least they're not actively breaking compatibility.

Getting strait to the point, by giving players the banned error code, would at least generate less support tickets. Does a banned player use up a server slot for other players if they're in a district?

I thought getting banned meant you also couldn't join Asylum. There was a matchmaking bug that caused groups to not get matches. I forget if it was the leader or any player that went afk would cause the matchmaking to not start. It might also be that there's no one else ready that meets the matchmaking requirements. 200 players online doesn't mean 200 players are ready. The matchmaking often refuses to match unequal threat groups, who are readied up, if there's equal threat groups who are not ready. You can't get unopposed missions. Add cross district matchmaking, and now you have a larger pool of players who are not ready, that matchmaking is waiting to match you against, but it never happens because they're not playing missions.

It's mostly likely due to Windows 7. Modern anticheats require components from Windows 10. It might work with the extended kernel patch. APB probably won't run well on that PC. The RAM requirements have increased due to the added content and update to 64 bit.

They don't care about banning cheaters. They want them in game. There's a few examples that upload frequently on Youtube. Besides, server status on their website or launcher will be much easier to implement. Then again, the servers shouldn't be down often enough to need that type of monitoring.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't have a working server status on the game's official website, and lock down some access elsewhere. Do lock anything you own? Same premise.

The server status shouldn't be accessible from a 3rd party, even just pings. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, or it's my bias from working in datacenters, but I don't like having unnecessary server access. What LO should do is add a widget to these forums. There's that useless 'members statistics' sidebar. Replace it with servers status, sorta like this:

What did it fix? The position is so powerful because you can see every spawn location. If anything, they made it easier to get onto that roof to camp it.

They already nerfed CR762's damage and range. Heavy barrel is pointless on it now. Besides, the SLR variants have the audio clipping bug, so it's painful to use if you're not deaf. The SR15 and VBR had their range nerfed a while ago too. LO took away options for that mid range, and then nerf something else that sorta works at midrange. It's like they want everyone using the N-TEC lineup. The ghost shot issue is a problem with every automatic weapon. It's why I tend to favor semi-autos. I see this as a buff if anything, but it will make the weapon unusable for some people.

The anticheat didn't run in Wine/Proton for me, and the last time I tried playing on Linux the launcher crashed. You need to use a Windows virtual machine to play on other operating systems.

I think you redefined the definition of insanity.

I think a better question is, what could a player have done to warrant a 2 year trade ban, and not a permanent trade ban? It doesn't make sense to issue temporary bans for confirmed behavior. To be fair, I'm bias against the trade lock system due to it blocking me from trading. I rarely trade, but when I want to, I can't for multiple days. Ff anything about you changes, you're trade locked. Here's the list of things that have triggered trade locks for myself. - OS related updates - Addition RAM - Public IP Address change - Installed another internal storage device - Plugged in an external USB storage device - Logged in on a different PC Besides, it used to be non functional on the first time login. It still might be this way. I could trade, sign out and sign in later in the day, now I can't trade. If someone stole your account, they can send everything to another account as long as they don't switch characters or relog.

You can't blame people for editing the configs when Little Orbit tell you to modify them. These options should have been added in-game. Also, if you're only getting 60fps in fightclub, it's something else that's wrong, not APB. I've had my CPU and GPU clocks drop to their lower speeds because APB didn't put enough consistent load on them. This caused abnormally low fps. No-recoil config does not exist. Players that say that are stupid or trolling. I've seen people claim the 4:3, 1:1, or other aspect ratios reduce recoil, but all they do is distort the fov to make objects look further away, thus tricking you into moving closer. Crosshair size scales with resolution. High resolution has smaller crosshair, which can make you miss shots because you see the player's character touching both sides, but your shot misses because the bloom is bigger than the crosshair. There's a trench coat? Didn't know that, that's how few female characters wear it. The lack of hairstyles is weird. They're not doing realtime physics with it, so I don't see why they didn't add some more early on.
