    Okay. This is not exactly a new subject as Matt has seen the current anti-loot box bill that is still in the works. But there are other things that cannot be ignored and no excuses should be made when it comes to monetization that is addictive. Not sure if any of you have seen this video, but I recommend you watch this video in its entirety before commenting as it is important. Took me a few times to watch this whole thing and I wholeheartedly agree that gaming has kind of taken a dark turn compared to simple old days of NES, SNES, Genesis etc. You get the idea.

     

    I bet some people will try to defend or ignore some of the facts stated in this video, but I think it is important that some changes have to be made.

     

    This video is way to long for me to watch fully... But i heard something about ''Upselling'' Honestly... Thats how games work these days though.

    Hello everyone , as the engine upgrade is getting closer to us, i've decided to finally make that video (as the engine upgrade might actually be a fix for this), showing why do ghostshots in apb happen and even how to make them intentionally .

     

    Here is a (quite long) video with me showing everything, for people that do not want to watch it , i will also explain it in text under this video :

     

     

    Why do ghostshots happen and how i found out what causes them :

     

    Alright so , i was basically trying to make a tap fire macro NTEC to see how fast the gun can be fired while keeping maximum accuracy , and i've noticed that whatever i did , i was having an insane ammounts of ghostshots when trying the macro on my clanmates, i then found this in a guide to make macros work properly on most games :

    Ghostshots.PNG

     

    This talks about the keyboard , but it also seems to be a thing for the mouse in APB, Basically what that text says, is if you don't hold your keys for more than 15ms  the game won't register it as it checks every 15ms if a key is pressed, but what i noticed with apb, is that for the mouse, that delay is not 15ms but ~50ms which is considerably higher, what this means is , if you hold your shooting key for less than 50ms there is an aproximative 50-70% chance that you will do a ghostshot (which is actually hear your gun fireing, having the recoil of it, and seeing the muzzle flash, but not actually shooting a bullet server side)

     

    Before going further i want to say that i do not condone the use of macros, do not use macros, you WILL get banned if you do, im doing this for educational puproses and the sake of curiosity.

     

    In this video , i basically made two macros that does 3 shot bursts of NTEC to achieve maximum accuracy + maximum fire rate  with , one that holds LMB for about 1ms delay and the other that holds LMB for about 150-170ms

     

    The first macros with a 1 MS LMB hold , generates up to 3 ghostshots in a single burst

     

    The second one with a 170ms LMB Hold has no ghostshots .

     

    this shows that if you don't hold LMB for longer than 50ms it's basically a matter of luck if your shots get registered or not, the problem with this is that you don't even need to be need to be an experienced player to produce a click that lasts less than 50ms , actually most people will without much effort, produce a click that lasts less than 30ms . 

     

    So in the end, all of this shows that :

    Tap fireing someone very fast at close range, will make you very likely to get ghot shots.

    If you are somone that's very reactive, and tend to do clicks in quick sucessions to hit someone, you're also likely to get ghostshots.

    Basically any type of fast gameplay can result in ghost shots.

     

     

    Here is some more things i noticed :

     

    -Those type of ghostshots seems to happen mostly on automatic weapons.

    -It can also happen with semi auto weapons, but is much less likely to do so.

    -Shotguns are also prone to this problem, especially after switching weapons.

     

    Now as i said above, this issue might be caused by APB running on directX9 which is a very old version of DirectX, as the engine upgrade uses DX 11 this problem might disappear or at least heavly be mitigated .

     

    So yeah this is it, please take all of this info with a grain of salt as the tests were done with only a few people, while all of them experienced the same results as i did, it doesn't mean that everyone will, thanks.

     

    You sound cute lmao. Like the cute when your aunt squeezes your cheeks. 😅

    Not sure if it's already mentioned.

    But one thing thats bothering me is the ''vehicle'' or ''Character'' too complex issue. Would be really cool if that would be increased.

    I'm always battling on how to make my designs less complex.

    About the Metropolitan Police Service

     

    The Metropolitan Police Service is a British Police themed enforcer clan which is filled with players from all over the globe who have a common interest in creating law enforcement style clothing. We were founded back in December 2016 by OfficerHot and now have almost 40 active members. We aren't a competitive clan which means there isn't a minimum rank/threat level you need to join, this means we're happy to take on new players and teach them the ins and outs of APB.

     

     

    Uniforms and Vehicles

     

    All of our clothes and vehicles are based on the real counterparts used by the London Metropolitan Police. Although it is mandatory to use the uniforms and vehicles during events and whilst you're playing with other clan members, you can wear whatever you please whilst not on duty. We sell the vehicles to clan members for the standard price + market tax.

    Units and Ranks

     

    Our rank tree follows the actual Metropolitan police, as do our units. Once you've been accepted into the clan you'll be given the rank Police Cadet, whilst you're a police cadet all of the senior members will be keeping an eye on you to see how well you fit in with the clan, once the senior members think you're ready you'll be accepted into the rest of the ranks and you'll be able to choose a unit.
