Returning Player: Did the Engine Upgrade die?
BlatMan replied to Protatoe's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
The TLDR is, Little Orbit decided to update the existing game's engine to 64 bit instead of upgrading to a later engine. Currently, APB runs as a 64 bit application. You shouldn't get the out of memory errors like you used to with modern GPUs, and your framerate should be a little higher. They have many blog posts about it. This is just the first when they made the 64 bit decision. https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2022/8/5/message-from-matt -
Remove the Balkan trucks from in game

Did they disable the exploding of out of mission vehicles that are parked on mission objectives? Then again, maybe out of mission players should phase through you when you're on foot or at least when interacting with an objective. -
the issr-c kingdom is awful
BlatMan replied to Reprimand's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
It's too good in cqc, but it sucks as a rifle. We have enough good cqc weapons, adding another was pointless. It's the same issue as the Corsair. It's good in cqc, but the damage dropoff makes it useless at midrange. Both weapons look like they should have some range, so when they don't, your brain immediately says it sucks, even if it technically doesn't. -

This method no longer works on Linux either since SARD requires the kernel part of the anticheat running. -

I haven't been able to reproduce that UI bug, and I'm usually pretty good at finding bugs. Someone in SPCT said it's related to having contacts or other UI stuff enabled. I had a friend use the exact graphics and game options I have set, yet they still experienced the bug. Watch it be related to something stupid, like the character login screen. I use a different login screen to skip the long loading time. Doesn't matter. I still can't launch the game on Linux, nor can anyone who uses the Steam deck. Well, technically it's possible, but I rather not attempt to bypass an anti-cheat that's so unpredictable that it even kicks legit Bronze players.

No shit. They purposely put that message to be vague. They could have shown the generic ban code, or even better, not banned the account at all and instead generate a customer support ticket to look at it. I thought that's what they were going to do since they seem iffy about banning players to begin with. Come on LO, at least be consistent. Then again, I guess random is technically consistent if the result is always random.

Jericho crashed twice in 30 minutes

In the past, my game crashed if I switched districts too many times, even after the 64bit update. I wonder if the servers have the same issue with players constantly switching districts due to the cross-district matchmaking. -

The range wasn't the problem with the Scout. The problem was you can hit players while jumping behind walls. Besides, the reason the Scout's jump shot was nerfed is because Reloaded wanted to milk the whales. They released the Dogear in the same patch, which has the ability to jump shoot. -

"If we have 100% confidence that you are cheating, then you can be banned at our discretion. We have found that there are some players who cheat at a level there is no other solution. We have to ban them. It's unfortunate, but we can't ignore it. Cheat at your own risk. You may lose your account." In other words, you will ignore players who are 100% cheating. If you were really going to put in any effect, you will have said "will" instead of "can" and "may" -
Does your mouse have custom profiles per game? Maybe that's interfering. I can't think of anything else.

Green? Do they play 1 mission, then go afk for the next 100? Seriously, green is much harder to hold than bronze if they're actually participating in the missions.

12/09 EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
BlatMan replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
What broke this time? I'm just curious. -
I've been here since 2012 or maybe even 2011. The majority of dethreaters were silver threat, but they got gold because they didn't have better players to fight in the lower threat districts. The people complaining about them are people who expect the game to play itself.
