Emu doesn't exist, and Phoenix isn't making an APB knock off.
i dun care if their making an emu, something new or APB2. I have more faith in what they produce since LO is out of touch with this playerbase and seems to have only vaporware and a BR plan. Stop sucking their nuts already Cookie. Haven't you seen how DEAD this game became? Sheesh it was more alive with Tiggs banning everyone.
Doesn't exist he says... sure. Well, maybe it does and maybe it doesn't. Maybe they have a bigger team that can work with those files and make something different. In any event... sure looks like emu exists. Small fan teams made an Emu Vanguard, an Emu Shadowbane, an Emu EQ and an emu EQ2. It took a long time but yeah, all those games have playable copies now. In fact Project99 EQ emu has a larger playerbase than Daybreak Games EQ. I'm not even a fan of emu copies. But it appeals to me more as a long term APB player than this new fandangled BR crap does.
-not an emu, but sure looks like one-

I have more faith in Nekrova's emu version than any promised "engine upgrade." Sounds more like LO is creating a whole new fail BR game. And with the looks of the current population, promises to be DOA.

I'm not even playing this game, just waiting for the engine upgrade. a 2 month delay ? yeah right. We seriously have no clue what they are working on, what they have plans to do or even if they realized the engine upgrade cannot be completed and so they simply diverted to alter this game completely. Waiting is all anyone can do. TBH I'm more hyped waiting for triple A studios creating Crowfall and Camelot Unchained then I am in EVER seeing this awesome game fixed back to the way it was just after release by RTW and before G1 fools borked and overbloated the code changing the ranking and threat systems, adding so much OP Armas crap throwing commonsense and game balance to the winds to sell gambling boxes... and let stupid devs make unnecessary permanent changes to the graphics.
But yeah, the playerbase votes with it's feet. this game was better than GTAV... now it's just a pile of old heaping hot bad perfomance, unbalanced, cheater infested turd. Even then, at least the missions are fun. BR will not be. If only the code had not been so corrupted. had LO been able simply to relaunch the original RTW APB and force everyone to restart with certain Armas discounts based on previous purchases... this game could have had a new life. Now I see it as dead and unrevivable. -

I'm proud to announce an introduction for a project our team has been working on. APB RIOT.
You can read more about it in the link below.
https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2019/3/14/apb-riot-reveal
So... your server performance continually deteriorates... and your company diverts the development team from the already delayed engine upgrade to present a whole new project no one who still plays APB wanted... sounds EXACTLY like the stupid decisions G1 and the RTW leftover devs made when APB started going downhill and lost 2 million active accounts.... and yes I do mean when they diverted the funding and dev time to idiotic side projects like a stupid phone app game, a console game, and a ridiculous fantasy RPG which was such a giant turd it never was developed. Meanwhile, the longsuffering PC playerbase realized the company was going bankrupt and couldn't even afford their anticheat anymore.
STOP DOING THINGS NOBODY WANTS AND FOCUS ON COMPLETING THE ENGINE UPGRADE EVERYONE HAS WAITED YEARS FOR... or your game will surely die.-

Cos they didn't learn the McDonald's lesson that cheaper means you sell a whole bunch more, in fact cheaper would mean people load up their alt accounts. Imagine if guns were $15 each... with a few dollars here and there for high demand ones. Everyone who played the game would be buying them... Alas few people buy expensive items... like the DeLorean Car which went bankrupt. Just compare it with well made and affordable cars made in Japan and their huge financial success.

23 hours ago, Revoluzzer said:Is UE3.5 some bastion that cheaters haven't conquered yet? I'd expect working cheats to appear within minutes of release, assuming there is no "mole" in the testing group(s). Otherwise they'll probably exist long before release. Bottom line it should be trivial to use existing cheats for UE3.5 in APB, no?
Cheat makers would have to recode their APB cheats for the new engine... and with such a huge dropoff in population, the market demand for all that work, and subsequent payment is not there. Sure, there's still people who don't mind using cheats in APB.... most of those, the vast 98% majority I would reckon, don't have the smarts to actually code their own cheats so... I believe the old cheats would be outmoded and new cheats vastly fewer and scarce.

14 hours ago, Darkzero3802 said:@MattScott Sounds awesome the new engine is in testing however alot of these quality of life updates have been needed in the current engine for yrs. Collisions have always been wonky and tend to cause random suicides or other stuff to occur when they arent supposed to (see the links for some examples). Car hit boxes themselves tend to be abit wonky as well which causes hits to occur when they arent supposed to, or explosions not to kill when your within the explosion range or kill you when your clear of it. Threat and matchmaking are obv another big quality of life that needs immediate addressing as the current setup just doesn't work, period. Kiosks can cause suicides as well at random when hit by a car (when not supposed to) so while looking at those it would a good idea to look over how they cause these to occur.
Another quality of life is hitreg. I know it was attempted once before but its still broken and each day hitreg can be different where one day its fine the next ur shots dont reg for anything. I would think this to be the result of servers that cant handle APB in its current old engine so its abit concerning how they will handle a newer engine that will require more out of them.

I hope they keep, but minimize the oddball physics. Because watching a team mate get killed by a pedestrian car is hella funny.

21 hours ago, BXNNXD said:im curious as to why so many "BE is bypassed" posts speak as if implementing an anticheat is a one-time deal, like all the funding was used to build this one wall and if someone tunnels underneath it cant possibly be fixed
Well from what I'm reading the current version is inadequate and we can't upgrade it until the engine upgrade so hopefully LO will be able to hit 2 birds with 1 stone,,, an upgrade which wont do a lot but enable an even better upgrade which will, but at the same time allow for the 64 bit version of BE which is supposedly then industry standard... donno about "gold" standard though.

2 hours ago, Haganu said:Every anti cheat used in APB seems to work so well in other games. I wonder how they just refuse to work in APB.
Maybe it's the devs being lazy/incompetent/shit/insert your own variation, which would be the easiest thing to say (though I really doubt that).
Even for pre-LO G1, which had kinda alright developers but absolutely horrible lead. Maybe the anticheats running just don't work well for APB for various reasons.
I'm not against FF returning, but if everyone knows anticheats in APB so well, maybe everyone should've made posts asking for better finetuning of FF, instead of asking for BattlEye? Matt only answered our request by getting BE implemented, and look how it turned out according to everyone complaining here.
Right now it would only mean wasted time and effort to go all in on re-implementing FF into APB, and for all we know it might be just another disappointment, seeing how things have been since late 2013.
Actually the community wanted BE to supplement a better turned FF. We need a clientside anticheat as well as something that monitors heuristics of play over time to nab the closets.
When BE was all the rage a few years ago it was new and effective. In the interim, a lot of cheat developers configured bypasses rendering it insufficient. FF + PB or FF + BE would be decent if configured properly. Any anticheat standalone, especially one notoriously bypassed is fail.

28 minutes ago, CookiePuss said:It's odd to see all this "BE is useless" nonsense right after a large ban wave.
I guess that's APB fo you.
BE isn't useless. We have the 32 bit version and it's easily bypassed, which causes the program to be useless for it's intended purpose... to detect cheaters who bypassed it's detection... doh. The ban wave simply underscores the VALIDITY of people who said, HEY it's being bypassed. Because if you read MattScott's whole post, they INVESTIGATED and RELIED ON /REPORT and VIDEOS... so yeah, BE itself wasn't the sole criteria for detection. Moreover, people continue to witness impossible feats such as speedhacking, even AFTER the banwave... this implies BE, as it is configured is INADEQUATE.

Scrubs who just suck at the game and started to hackusate everyone.
Other scrubs started to believe this shit.Then some scrubs who believed this shit started to cheat too.
And now look where we are.
Everyone hackusates everyone. Even "good" players.
You are even worse than actual cheaters for this game.
If I would be Matt, I would fking temp ban every single one of you.1. I haven't "hackusated" anybody. So you're making a false accusation. Also, I think it's established even per MattScott's admission that some hackers have bypassed BE and as others have pointed out, continue to hack in the game. So the discussion is about fixing the anticheat.
2. All your comments are doing is making a smokescreen of personal attack in defense and minimization of the actual problem... an INADEQUATE ANTICHEAT, NO IN-GAME GMS WITH EXPERIENCE TO SPECTATE, and the many, many many thousands of players who QUIT PLAYING because of the hacker fanboi culture to BLAME AND TRASH THEM for pointing out the pink elephant in the room.
People are called a lot of terrible things in APB, sexually explicit, rude, demeaning, perverse, and in foul mouthed language. People are kicked from missions, TK'd and trashed daily. BEING ACCUSED FALSELY OR TRUTHFULLY OF BEING A CHEATER IS NOT WHY PEOPLE STOP PLAYING THIS SHITTY GAME. -
47 minutes ago, Knite said:So, because BattlEye is a "bypassed anticheat", LO should bring back FairFight, which was proven to be less than useful?
I don't think G1 was properly using FF, after all weren't they relying on manual bans and personal opinions? FF did work, it compiles statistics. Yes, closets could "game" the system by deliberately missing a lot of shots, tking or suiciding to lower scores, but if it were properly implemented, it could detect this as well as togglers who play like poop but suddenly become godmode when losing. As for BE, if it's bypassed, it isn't even there. FF wasn't "bypassed" it banned a lot of accounts. It just wasn't configured well, and G1 probably wasn't paying for version updates. In the end, people were being banned with FF broadcasts because Tiggs didn't like them.
How can you compare? Oh wait, maybe FF properly updated and configured is MORE EXPENSIVE, so LO gives us this totally hacked useless 32 bit version. LO seems more and more like a G1 shadow company. New name, same crap. -
21 hours ago, Fortune Runner said:technically that's the community's fault for wanting new events for Halloween and Christmas so badly to the point we asked them to hold off on the engine for new content
Y'all need to stop blaming the playerbase. There's a demand for a working product and a failure to deliver. LO's plan is amazing, but their company is too small, underfunded, and inexperienced.

On 1/29/2019 at 1:56 PM, Darkzero3802 said:Which is why everyone is in uproar over the amount of cheaters and the lack of proper anti hack on the part of LO. Anyone who says hackers dont exist in APB are either special (too stupid to realize a hack when they see it) or there protecting the status quo of APB vets which is to compensate for being bad and its perfectly ok, LO needs to add a server side anti hack asap instead of a new engine as there wont be anybody playing when its released and a new engine wont solve the hack problem.
QFT.
LO definitely has the wrong set of priorities. Their legit players are going to fade away out of attrition due to being tired of dying 20x per mission to blatant hackers long before they ever have a working engine upgrade. The sad thing is, this was so easily preventable. All they had to do was tweak FF better, instead of listen to the hacker crowd and implement a bypassed anticheat for them to destroy what's left of the game with. Seems to me the bad server performance is probably related to the hacker infestation rather than dedicated ddos attacks.
I reiterate, that if actually banning the cheaters is devastating to the game, then simply crank up detection and temp kick them more quickly from matches their ruining. If someone get's kicked frequently, he can petition for a review by the devs. If no hack is found, for that player, the sensitivity settings can be a bit more lenient, for actusl pro players, but within human possibility reason. People would enjoy the game far more if suspicious players got insta-kicked... then endure blatant cheaters who play without penalty for hours, daily, for months and months ensuring other people give up the game.

You are even more pathetic for whining like little babies and hackusating everyone for no reason than the real cheaters.
This old hacker fanboi mentality is why APB dropped from 2 million active accounts to the near nothing we have now. No one logs back into a game where they have no chance to win, get totally rolled repeatedly, and serve simply to die so dweebs like you can blame them.

It's why pro hackers sell them as packaged cheat programs readily available for cash. That was from a website teaching coders how to bypass BattLEye.

its programming. there will always be someone who can do that and then Battleeye will solve that , and on and on. plus no anti cheat is 100 percent effective and currently there isnt anything better than BattleEye

QuoteHelp with APB Reloaded BattlEye Bypass (1/2/19)
Thread starterCarbonZuki, Jan 3, 2019
"Hello, trying out APB Reloaded and it uses BattlEye (BEDaisy.sys, BESystemprogram) I’ve done some research on driver method or lsassprogram way but heard those were detected now. RSV and Fortnite are still being bypassed so wonder if bypass for those games can work for ABP Reloaded. (Yes games old, not that good, just want to mod money and level in CE). If i go to task manager, services and stop BESytemprogram or in process hacker 2 i stop the BEDaisy.sys I can log into account but i cannot join a session, get booted back to login and error says restart game to fix BattlEye basically..."
-----------------------------
"I would say 99% of battleye bypasses require getting your code into the kernel, read more @ Battleye Anticheat Bypass Overview - "
-----------------------------
This is just a brief overview
"Battleeye is a popular, mature kernel mode anticheat. That makes it very difficult to bypass, for expert hackers only.... Because it is a kernel mode anticheat you will need to be below the kernel via a hypervisor/virtual machine which typically isn't great for playing games in terms of performance. Or you must also be in kernel mode. To make your own kernel mode driver, it must be signed by a security certificate because Battleye games won't run when you're in test signing mode. The other options is to use a vulnerable driver to get your code into the kernel. Such vulnerable drivers include Capcom and others.
Read more about Kernel mode anticheats..."
Copied off a cheat forum.If pro hackers have already coded private for sale cheats and regularly patch them... then BattLEye isn't very good anymore, it's hacked by pro's who sell cheat bundles for several games and APB is often included. Maybe it used to be the best anticheat... not anymore.

SOooooooOOooo, the long-suffering loyal APB fanbase can go frack themselves I see.
Not in a million years. It's distorting APB to create an already washed out genre. Not only will this fail hard... you will have given the final shaft to your own playerbase.
