Engine Update IS the worst tha happened to APB

[Engine Update IS the worst tha happened to APB]

I am among the people who haven't touched this game in almost 10 years and came back after hearing about the engine upgrade.

And stuck around since I saw the admirable devotion and passion LO has for this game. One of the most beautiful comeback stories I have witnessed in over 30 years of gaming.

 

Whether or not the engine actually needs an overhaul is not as relevant as the implications this project sends.

If a 10 years old game gets a massive engine upgrade, it tells players all of these things:

• we care about this game
• we take this seriously
• it's not just a quick cash grab
• we have a lot of future plans for this game
• it's worth investing your time into this game because we will support and expand on it

Because why else would a company undertake such a massive project for a 10 years old game.

And that's what brings back players and gives them confidence in investing their precious life time into this game.

Just updating my report like a good beta tester: Still not able to get past the character screen.

Just reporting that I still cannot get past character selection.

 

"Error disconnected" after selecting a character and waiting for a few minutes.

Your honesty, transparency (and the fact that this is still going down!) are much appreciated as always, Matt.
