Hello, We are doing emergency maintenance. The game will be down for approximately one hour. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello everyone, Today a new patch went live on PC. You can find the Patch Notes below or on the website. BUG FIXES: Fixed one of the two ways in which Joker Ammo machines can duplicate their audio. Valentine's Day 2023 titles have had their proper pink flare applied to the title. NEW CONTENT: Joker Store changes: Added the following early progression mods for purchase with a rank requirement of None: Kevlar 1 Kevlar 2 Kevlar 3 Clotting Agent 1 Clotting Agent 2 Clotting Agent 3 Happy Landings 1 Happy Landings 2 Happy Landings 3 These mods are available for 3 Day or 7 Day leasing. This is an experiment for additional Joker Store content aimed at new players, or veteran players who wish to buy these items on their alts that may not have completed progression. The hope is that a small purchase price or grind is preferable to 'sludging through' early progression where you may not have these modifications available. If this experiment is successful, we will expand this system in the future to rentals of Weapon and Vehicle modifications. We will be monitoring feedback after this patch. Joker Store Character, Weapon, and Vehicle modifications have a new pricing scheme across the board. Existing "Tier 4" (or 195+) mods are unchanged and the math for previous tiers is based on the existing 'most expensive' Tier 4 lease. Existing Joker Store Character, Weapon, and Vehicle modifications now contain 3 Day lease options that are slightly less discounted compared to their 7 Day counterparts. New pricing scheme: Tier 1: 3 Day = 100 (new), 7 Day = 150 (new) Tier 2: 3 Day = 120 (new), 7 Day = 185 (new) Tier 3: 3 Day = 140 (new), 7 Day = 215 (new) Tier 4: 3 Day = 160 (new), 7 Day = 250 (unchanged) UN-VALENTINES VDay 2023 has ended. We're no longer seeking love, and have gone back to normal City Security Act business, which is a lot less lovely. KNOWN ISSUES: There is still one method in which a Joker Ammo machine's looping audio may break, and we are investigating. FUNCTIONALITY REMINDER: POWER USERS: With the release of 1.30, you are now able to adjust your clients' frames per second (FPS) cap on your own. We do not currently have a UI for this functionality, however, you may manually adjust specific configuration files. Launch APB: Reloaded at least once after you have installed the 1.30 update. Close the game. Navigate to your APB install directory. For Steam users, this is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common by default. For GamersFirst users, the folder is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\Binaries\APB Reloaded\ by default. Within this folder, navigate to "Engine\Config" after patching the game, and open the file called "BaseEngine.ini". Within this file, search for the following section: [Engine.GameEngine] There are two cap types that are able to be modified in this file: "MaxClientFrameRate", and "MaxSmoothedFrameRate". Both of these correspond to the "Smooth Framerate" option in the game's in-game options. MaxClientFrameRate may be 0 (uncapped), or any value above MaxSmoothedFrameRate. MaxSmoothedFrameRate may be any value up to 128. Raising your FPS cap above 145 will worsen existing issues related to running above 128 fps worse – although a common bug known as sliding will happen if your fps is too stable at your current selected cap. Additionally, there is an issue related to high framerates that causes your crosshair to expand with an inaccurate accuracy value. However, this is a purely visual bug, and does not actually affect accuracy.

There is a search bar ^^

Hello everyone, This week's maintenance for PC and console is scheduled for Wednesday (02/08) at 9 AM UTC. The maintenance will last 4 to 6 hours and will include system patches and updates that will add Valentine event for PC. Thank you for your patience during this period! P.S: The thread has been cross-posted from Game Updates

Hello everyone! February is the month of love, and some people will stop at nothing to get a shot at it. Starting on Wednesday 2/08/2023 there will be new patch that is going up onto the Live servers for PC. The patch is scheduled to start at 9 AM UTC and will last 4 to 6 hours. Console will have its normal maintenance starting at 9 AM UTC as well. In stock for the most enthusiastic gunners, we have four brand-new love-themed titles available only for this limited period. Check here for more information on the event and the included activities.

Unfortunately, there will be no restarts during weekend unless either me or my co-worker have free time to do it on our day off. The game is COMPLETLY free, there is no revenue for company at all and the reason why servers are up is for the players as our CEO stated in his post when we were opening the game. Regarding Customer Support, they are replying on tickets, however, discord concernes should be forwarded to the discord team (mods, CMs). Regarding the game being unstable in January, that is unfortunately due to the community exploiting a bug that was crashing the servers (which is fixed now). Maintanance runs every Monday and Wedensday 11:30 CET, and restarts happen, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 11:30 CET and Monday to Friday 23:30 CET. These times have been announced to the community. If there are any questions feel free to ask. ^^

Heya, Can you try disabling all addons that you have on your browser and try then?

Heya, I can reply to the questions that I know answers to. - Game being unplayable on weekends - Whenever I can do restart on my days off I do hop on and try to do it. Most weekends however I do spend with my family without access to PC so it's on a harder end. - Down without warnings - In this case it's when server crashes and there's no way to predict when that happens. We have two weekly restarts that happen one in morning one in evening, everything other than that means server crashed and we get to it as soon as we see that it happened/get hoped by players. - See reply above. Regarding warning users on discord, I passed on the information to team who is in charge of discord to see what can be done there, I wasn't aware there were issues there. I personally myself always like hearing feedback from players and try and see how I can make it more interesting for you guys. It takes time as I have other projects that I have to do as priority but I always try and make sure that FE has at least events enabled. I do read everything that you guys want and do, Ritual, Knits and I then try and figure out how to implement that.

Clones, your immediate attention is required. The first contact with a large pack of underdwellers known as "Whom" appearing on the outskirts of the Grand Canyon has been confirmed. Just like the same time in the previous year, we expect them to be closely followed by the sasquatch-rated mutant "Grunch." The ever-diligent patrols work around the clock to reduce their numbers, but the truth is, we have a holiday crisis on our hands. Agent Cindy Loom has arrived with an unyielding holiday spirit more information on the potential sightings of the Grunch. From 21rst December till 4th January, receive your tasks from her at the following locations: Deadfall (5527405 5105450) Kaibab Forest (6524573 5214506) Northfields (4482171 5508380) Plateau (4680480 4135025) Bring her the evidence that Grunch will no longer steal the holiday season in Grand Canyon, andyou will be rewarded for your efforts. It's the season. Happy holidays!

Most of you are, at this point, somewhat (or entirely) familiar with the topic of the Open Letter. It has been shown many times before that APB: Reloaded has one of the most loyal gaming communities. Providing criticism and expressing concerns is a significant part of what makes it so dedicated. We thank everyone who ensured its content correctly reflects the community's concerns and open questions, and we thank its creator, Frosi, for bringing it to us. To adequately address some of the concerns raised in the said letter, we will host a dedicated stream on the official Little Orbit Twitch channel with Matthew Scott and Frosi. It will provide the APB community with first-hand information and allow you to ask further questions on the topic. Tune in on Little Orbit's official Twitch channel on Tuesday, 20th of December, at 11 am PST and participate in a discussion. We welcome everyone willing to build a solid and transparent dialogue, and we look forward to seeing all of you there!

Heya, If you guys are experiencing someone that is abusing their GM powers please do make sure to report it to us. However, that is hardly possible to happen as GMs do not have power enough to do anything "abusive". Thank you for the feedback regarding the game. Thanks, Emily
