14 years to 'fix' “German Fortress”
BlatMan replied to purpleHorizons's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
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.

Is Wine/Proton prohibited?
BlatMan replied to alex56's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
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. -
Use AI for engine upgrade

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.

02/19 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT

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. -
02/25 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
BlatMan replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Wait, there's another inventory system on top of the existing ones? Can we at least re-retrieve purchased items from Armas? There's not enough inventory space to keep every weapon variant. -
That sounds way over complicated. I'd add a title textbox to the character UI and have it unlocked for the winners. Then later on it can be added to Armas in some stupid high priced pack.

Ikr? If they're adding new HUD elements, they should include options to remove them. Then again, they refuse to add the fps limit in-game. They tell you to edit configs, then get mad when players edit configs. -
I'm guessing it's upload packet loss or jitter. Not enough to affect switching shoulders, but enough to screw up the lag compensation. You can't really troubleshoot it. The in-game /fps diagnostic does not show upload packet loss, only download. Download is usually perfect when measured with wireshark, as in each packet is 33ms apart, the same as the server tickrate. I'm still leaning on it being DDoS protection messing up normal traffic. Another thing that makes me think it's the DDoS protection, is that the server usually crashes when my hitreg was too good. I haven't played recently, so idk if it's still the case but it sounds like it's still the same going by posts on here and on discord.

Can you math out the rest of the playerbase? I doubt they make enough from APB alone to pay their staff. I can't think of another reason to not ban cheaters, at least not one that makes sense business wise. Then again, this company threw away premium subscriptions to virtue signal, maybe they are that economically illiterate.
-
The cheaters out themselves by posting their gameplay on Youtube and Twitch. I guess these accounts are LO's main source of income, otherwise they would remove them from the game. Who would want their game to look like that when people search for it on Twitch and Youtube?

80 bare metal servers? For what? -
So packet loss still a thing..
BlatMan replied to raging's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
GMs are just other players with a sliver of moderator power. The most they can do is kick the player, but then the player can immediately rejoin the district. They're useless at best. -

I question how most people manage to download and install games unassisted.
