Just do what i did and simply stop playing the game, it isn't worth the headache to expect this game to ever have a anti-cheat that ACTUALLY works... The game was much better back in the day when fairfight was still around.. You're much better off playing something else instead of banging your head against a wall..

The only thing that held APB up and running, where i spent a lot of actual money on was the customisation of your character... No other game has ever come close to the detail of customisation that APB has, i've spent over 10 years in this game playing it at my own pace... I was never a actual good player though which is fine, i dont have to be good at everything after all... But the amount of cheating that will never be fixed has resulted me in dropping the game altogether... The new anti cheat simply doesn't work while being invasive, i could let it slide that the anti cheat is invasive if it would actually work but no.. So i don't see the point either in having invasive anti cheat on my pc if it doesn't do it's job... The last time that i touched the game was september 5th and i have no intention of going back unless they ditch this anti cheat for one that actually does work.. 10 years and a few thousand euros down the drain like it's nothing, which is sad but fine... As i'm not going to bother anymore, i'm tired of having to deal with 10 years of incompetence/cluelessness (No matter which company) regarding actually fixing this game.. And like i said, i would ONLY play again if the anti cheat were to actually work... It's the least thing you would expect from some anti cheat that operates on a kernel level... But considering this will never happen, me playing again will also not happen..

And what was there in that exact file?

Yet here you are, even after saying several times now that you were leaving.. But ok... But keep coping and seething... The more you do, the more entertainment i'm getting out of this..

Exactly, the only reason when you're going to get hacked is when you straight up give the hackers your information such as your logins... Clicking on random links for example that turn out to be phising links tend to cause such as thing, or how you can get your login information stolen through having your internet cookies getting breached... Which also tends to happen when you click on weird/shady links on the internet... People are having their facebook/YouTube accounts getting stolen due to the exact same reason, by clicking on some weird link that turned out to be a phising link.. Take Facebook for example, it is filled to the brim with bot accounts/stolen accounts spamming their telegram link everywhere.. If one were to click on that very same link, well.. Congrats then, you've exactly given them what they were after, your private information such as your login passwords.... Same shit goes for creditcards, nobody can randomly hack into it unless YOU are the one who gave them the keys of the front door to begin with... Especially if you don't have extra layers of security in the forms of 2FA authentication for example, or by having a actual strong password instead of "abcdefg012"... If people were to pay more attention to the stuff that their/they're clicking on on the internet, a lot less of these situations were to happen.. But no, here we are still having these problems because people simply aren't paying enough attention... If people actually did, these things were less common...

Sad isn't it...

The irony in you saying that others need to grow up when YOU'RE the one here crying over a goddamn video game lmfao... The only actual idiot here is you, take the L already and stop being such a manchild towards everybody on here just because YOU hate what they have to say to you... You claim to be in your 50's yet you act like you're in your 10's.. Also, stop beating around the bush.. Your story is as legit as those scam emails from people pretending to be African royalties who want to give you 10 billion dollars... You straight up shared your password with someone, got your account compromised or dumped money into it that you dind't had before.. Your entire so called story comes down to nothing more than "Trust me bro, my source is that you must all trust me"... I've heard better stories in the past regarding the never ending "trust me bro" shtick.. Anyway, learn how to behave next time before you open your mouth just to scream against a wall... Bozo.. Edit: It's funny how you claim to be only toxic to those who are toxic yet you LITERALLY were the one being toxic in the first place by saying "To bad you cant comprehend what you are reading" towards cookie... So stop playing the victim already.. It's a wonder how you're not even banned yet or that you haven't been punished by a time-out with the way you behave on here to community moderators..

Imagine being in your 50's and THIS mad about a fucking video game, APB of all video games to add to that... Acting like a literal manchild, throwing a massive temper tantrum and overal being extremely toxic towards others, good thing that you can't play anymore.. I can't even comprehend how you would be ingame if you're acting like this on the forums... Wouldn't really wish anyone to get matched up with you or against you either, aside from cheaters (Just to see you having a meltdown like you have on here) obviously. Anyway, bye bye mister manchild.. Don't forget to close the door on your way out..

I would like to bring up another question regarding SARD... Is the data that SARD gathers being sent to little orbit first or the armenian company? Does SARD only give pc access through its kernel level backdoor to little orbit or the company behind SARD as well?

Should've sticked with EAC as that also didn't work but wasn't so invasive compared to what it is now..

Well, i was in the twitch stream (A bit too late as i have to take care of 4 dogs here while my parents are on vaction, while also going to the supermarket to get food and such) but i did ask about whenever the anti cheat was to stay on my pc if i were to uninstall the game or not.. My question sadly didn't get through, so i'm hoping to for another ama anytime soon or something else... As i still want a clear answer on it.

But we can't have that now do we, no.. We rather have some kernel level anti cheat that does absolutely nothing, the only thing that it does is giving away access to your pc through a backdoor that will harm your system if abused by bad actors.... As long as devs aren't pulling their heads out of their patootie and actually start banning people, this game will never actually recover... Yes the game did gain a increase in players according to steam charts, but those numbers will dip again sooner than later.. Give it a few weeks to a month and that playercount is back again to what it has been for years by now... I've uninstalled anyway and will probably not come back unless they ditched SARD and get ingame moderators who ACTUALLY ban cheaters... But seeing as how that isn't going to happen, i will probably just call it quits and retire like i've said i would.. It's been a good run, but after 10 years i just can't anymore... I'll take all the money and years that i've spend on this game as my own L..

To me it's more like i don't know enough about this anti cheat to "trust" it on my device.. I've never heard of this SARD anti cheat before, i don't know any of the games they have on their website except silkroad... Why should i give people behind the anti cheat access to my entire pc just to play APB? Especially when the anti cheat already seems breached and people still out there cheating/hacking their nuts off according to what others have said in various different places.. But if were to update my game right now to this SARD anti cheat, can the company behind it or someone else guarantee me that the anti cheat will also be completely removed if i were to uninstall APB?? Instead of it still being around when APB isn't on my device.. Maybe that i'm just making up stuff for nothing, idk.. But i just want to know more other than what their website states (Which is also what the devs posted on the forums here).. I've asked in several places but still have no definitive answer to any of it... And sure, maybe i am a hypocrite since i have gameguard on my pc as that's also kernel and considered to be shady, but still.. And as bad as EAC was (Considering using a free version for APB doesn't really work), at least i'm more aware about it and what it does/do..

I just want to know, is the SARD anti cheat completely removed if i were to uninstall APB?? I have yet to update the game as my folders still have EAC in them, but idk.. Currently i just have mixed feelings considering the anti cheat already seems bypassed while giving access to my pc if i were to update it... Idk how i feel about another kernel anti cheat being on my pc when it probably doesn't really work for the game it's attached to.. I don't want this kernel level anti cheat to linger around when APB isn't installed... I have 1 other game currently that uses gameguard, but atleast that's removed if i were to uninstall that game... I want to jump in and try the new stuff but like i said, i'm just split right now... Because as much as want to jump back into, i just dont see myself getting another kernel level anti cheat on my pc if the anti cheat doesn't properly work while it gives access to my pc to the people behind that anti cheat... Does someone here have experience with any of this?

How so? I stopped using it ever since it felt off.. Especially if you count the amount of stutters that i have on a high end pc (high end enough to run the game even tho my pc is more of mid tier.. But still way more than enough to run it properly). It does little to no damage even when it shoots really fast. I had more success with other shotguns such as colby/JG. I don't ask for it to be broken or something, just a small update or perhaps a slight tweak here or there. It was just a small suggestion after all.. If players don't want that than fine..

Can we get a buff on true ogre? Currently it feels just underwhelming, losing fights at close range from any colby shotgun or even jg ones.

Can i use overtone to instead of vivox voice for ingame mic? Since i can't really find vivox voice anywhere and overtone is pretty much from vivox itself.

The thing on why it pisses me off so much, is that there's literally no mention of this change in ANY of the patch notes since those items released... I couldn't find anything that stated that these changes were going to be made... Either i indeed haven't seen it being mentioned anywhere or i'm completely blind.. Idk..

This is what i've been wearing ever since for years.... Went into wardrobe booth today for this and apparently, my katana removes pretty much all my impact and heavygunner stuff for no apparent reason.. Maybe it's from a update i'm unaware about this idk.. But not being able to equip my katana with my impact set completely destroys the immersion of my outfit... Pls change that back since i'm beyond pissed off now..

They removed it that my katana no longer goes hand in hand with impact stuff and machinegunner chest rig, why?

I may have missed something, but why does katana now remove impact vest/impact armpads and machinegunner chest rig? This compeletly destroys my deathstroke outfit that i had for years... Just why? This pisses me off. Completely*

Just anything that can be done to increase how much we can customize would be fine.

Hello, Something i've always would love to see is that the limitations on customization was removed.. Get rid of the maximum 'space' that a symbol takes up and get rid of the maximum amount of layers that you can add to for example cars.. The customization system is what always brought me back throughout the years, but even then... The maximum amount of layers and maximum amount of space that symbols take up is just a huge handicap... A option to also put symbols on wheels or on the inside of your car would be nice. Stay safe all.
