Not really, there are far more problematic things wrong with APB then just the Engine. The engine will allow to work on those problems however and that's why it's needed.

It's a theory we had/have and by no means any confirmation, we're trying to figure it out or rule out potential issues. The game has to be coded for it to function properly though, it's a different method of rendering the whole game. With the benefits of alt tab / windowed mode combined with the performance and input latency from the old Fullsceen Exclusive mode. It does feel much much easier to hit the firerate and even beyond that on the engine upgrade compared to live, I did feel that as well.

That is your estimation (and mine) but it might not be the reality. I don't know exactly how those technical details work.

And that's mostly the problem, many people consider it to be a easy thing to set out and get done while it may require a lot of technical redesign under the hood to allow those things to happen. Everything right now is designed from a concept or idea and going out of that path might need 4-5 steps back into the code to make it start working from there on. Not saying I disagree with the idea however, it would be better for the Jericho server players and APB in general.

Customization on clothing/vehicles, Movement, Shooting, Themes, The chaos the game brings or how much can happen, you never can fully predict an outcome of an engagement even after long periods of game hours.

Only on the GPU side where things are more rapidly changing then any other part of the system.

Names like that only happen due two characters on two different servers being merged into one. This is only the test environment though so it won't stay and unsure how it will be in the future.

This problem is a bit of a two side problem, some people genuinely like the open world and the chaos it produces but it also allows griefers to be effective at annoying you (even more if you stream your game). I've heard suggestions before to have ghost people outside of your mission but for some that ruins the interaction with the world or other players (or a sense of idea that you're not alone in the server) It's gonna be a though one to crack but I am sure with the engine done they come up with a pretty solution to this problem.

I felt my previous post I made here is very relevant to what you've posted here.

I believe it has been said they do want to try and bring back this old classical login menu soundtrack, but that all depends if they can make that work. I am completely okay with something new and fitting as well, as I am not that keen on nostalgia feel towards things. Where it went wrong was basically the previous team did what they could to keep the game afloat which was making armas items and joker box items, may it been good or bad. That lead to the game standing still in time for the vast majority of years while it slowly faded. We desperately need the engine upgrade first for many reasons, as the old dated problematic live client is severely out of date and suffers in using systems available resources as well as the old underneath the hood engine and systems that take care of many of the core components of APB. I truly believe LO can pull it off and make this happen, but it's only 1/5th of what needs to happen before APB is considered "better" then before. Many crucial things like weapon balancing, match-making, out of memory crashing due to newer graphics cards, old bugs like the waypoints disappearing after swapping character or district. It's not a holy grail or revival, but it's a start to an exciting new and modern future for this game.

Don't know yet. Likely already those two compared together are so much better so that's likely to be on the other generation chips as well as these are more architectural changes or benefits.

Roughly 18% faster then 3000 series this is due this line in the article linked below: "The Ryzen 9 5950X compared to the ‘current-gen’ Ryzen 9 3950X is 18% and 12% faster respectively in single and multi-threaded tests." Since APB purely uses single threaded performance it'll be 18% (roughly) faster then previous generation, I am using a 3950x with 4.350 MHz all core overclock and I achieve stable 144 fps in most cases. I truly think intel has to step up one way or another but they hit a roadblock in terms of going down a notch.

Nah more like wait hours or skip it with money.

100% correct. I understand your statement but as the others have also stated, AVX is going away as it's not a meaningful increase in performance and only increase complexity of workload which might lead to more instability. Which is a good trade off if you ask me, the more people we can get in to play the better.

Those are just things to keep you busy or active/engaged. It's like the thing people do with their legs, shaking or jiggling them. Other then that, people will call anyone a "tryhard" which lost it's meaning at this point since it's even thrown at a guy who boots the game up every once a while and plays a casual mission or 5. But with a lot of experience in the game knowing where to attack from or what weapons to use against other weapons. "Oh you beat me? Must be a tryhard."

Gold medal to you, sir. Feels like you've nailed most things on point.

Thanks for the detailed post, agreed on most points. I'd like to mention two points though: - ACT44 is still a great gun. - RSA is a better gun but the ACT44 outshines it class still. But using the RSA on longer ranges is very nice, better than the ACT44 and you need 1 less bullet.

Trade lock's can be triggered by: 1) Windows Update build upgrades (1909 to 2004 for example), as well as reinstalling Windows. 2) Driver updates or changes, 3) BIOS upgrades or changes, this may include setting changes or overclocks, 4) Hardware changes, 5) Logging in on other systems. There may be more or there may be less to this list but this is the list of what I have collected so far from my own trade lock(s) and stories I heard from others.

For questions like this I always refer to: https://apbdb.com/changes/ Which is updated frequently after patches. This time it does not mention the EOL's.

This is not what is meant by Frosi's post, what the intention is is to lower the chances the game crashes, by lowering the graphical settings this risk of crashing the game becomes less. If this game functioned fine on normal graphics everyone would've played on them. But with GC stutter every 60 seconds + this crashing issue for RTX and beyond this is the only method to keep a sustainable playable framerate as well as reducing the crash frequency.

With these low population numbers you don't want to create more segmentation though but I approve of your detailed post. It's very often the case you get the basic versus the veterans, which isn't fun for neither party. Stomp or get stomped - never fun to play with or against. I'd argue the curve from basic to veteran is even more larger due how many guns and complex situations APB can have, from missions to weapon load outs. Match making is one of those crucial systems which should be possible after the engine upgrade to take a look at, I doubt they can do anything about it right now nor would you want to spend more time on the old spiderweb code.

1080 Ti /w 1440p experiment yielded me 35% GPU usage on max.

Did you read mine? Ketog said he did hear of previous drivers or versions working but he didn't have enough tests or data to show that. Regardless you're not gonna downgrade to play one game.

Thank you for your feedback, stuff like this is always helpful for us. I do want to add a few personal opinions for room for improvement for future topics. - be serious (the only way it will be considered as a valid opinion/feedback) - Please don't play with FONT SIZES I don't think there is anyone who likes reading through that. - Less clutter overall with the same format/structure of the news post and then you're feedback based on playing with the gun. I encourage people to make these kinds of post so we have multiple opinions and visions on the changes.
