    Using the advanced launcher you can still play APB today without Steam.  Players like me who still do this I don't think would show up on the Steam charts. Although admittedly the last week population has been limited.

    Funnily enough if you download APB through steam but launch the game through APB.EXE with steam disabled you can play w/o steam. I sometimes do that

    The new Anti-cheat still isn't out yet. The 8 hour cooldown you're seeing was an issue with some new hardware they brought back, one of the waterfront instances was running a time that was out of sync from the rest, causing the bug with cooldowns. 

     

    There's been no anti-cheat for some months now since they discontinued their deal with SARD.

    Oh wow that's crazy

    Hello everyone,

     

    as many of you noticed the servers are currently offline. This is because the maintenance has started much later than intended at 5PM UTC rather than the intended 9AM UTC. We expect the servers to be coming back online in the coming hours.

    Hey, we would appreciate if you guys posted things like these sooner. I know you have the discord but not all the players know about that it and some of us like to get the news the old fashioned way 🙂

     

    Believe it or not some people still like to play this game and with no news they end up wasting too much time hitting the refresh button on forums and game hoping maybe now they will be able to log in...

  4. After updating to the latest Intel drivers my game turned into stutter city. After trying out various things I finally found a fix:

     

    Clear shader cache: Search -> Disk Cleanup -> DirectX Shader Cache. You cave to do this after every driver update for the Intel Arc...

     

    Gonna leave this here for future users. This helps with all games and not just APB.

    when i first played RTW apb in 2010, i had Core2Duo E6850 ( 2x 3 Ghz), 8 Gigs of ram (hell a lot in that time) and nVidia Geforce 8800GTS 512 MB VRAM.

    This is more to do with Intel being a new player in the market and having history with poor backwards compatibility with older applications not running DX12, APB being a very unique game and not because of the card not being powerful enough to run it (and the above mentioned is true as it's struggles without changing settings in the config I mentioned a few posts above). This card  is powerful enough to run modern titles like Cyberpunk.

     

    Also funnily enough old APB did ran better with older hardware of that time, hell even 4 gigs of ram was enough at the time. Performance went down the gutter sometime in 2012 when every patch degraded performance.

     

    While we're on the same topic I did find a workaround for crashing while customizing vehicles and clothing with symbols. The trick is to do one thing at a time: select colors of vehicles or clothing and parts (for cars) and save, then click customize again and start applying symbols and save again, do not go back to part/color screen without saving or you will crash.

    You totally missed the joke, and it still didn’t  really matter who it was as we talked about G1 decisions were non transparent back then.

     

    EpicGoat was probably biggest loser in my honest opinion with streaming his cheating. 
     

    You’re allowed to guess that, I’ve been around long enough to know these too, but not really the point 🙂

    Sarcasm can be difficult to pick up  over the internet

    I don't disagree about MrEpicGoat but blatant hackers like him  are a lot less problematic then hardcore closet cheaters

    Nevermind who it was, it wasn't "fishy" enough to stay banned 😮 ^_^

    It does matter because they were two different people. One was a famous streamer and the other was from a clan with shady reputation and alleged connections to GMs at the time of old G1. Like the "Russian agent" is such a bs excuse to get unbanned lmao. I remember even cheaters like the legendary MrEpicGoat was hackusating that clan but I'm guessing most of the current posters are too young to know any of those names...

    I mean, 1500-2000 G1C was nothing to sneeze about.

    They sure as hell didn't want there weapon to hit the G1 "chopping block".

     

    But eventually, they all did.

     

    Rinse & Repeat my friend... Rinse & Repeat.

     

    Yeah it's nothing to joke about, even worse for the legendary weapons where you couldn't directly buy them at the time and had to gamble them from scam boxes. Some people had to spend hundreds to get those, really scummy tactics by G1. But people couldn't have been so naive not to expect a weapon that's clearly too strong and everybody is abusing not to get fixed.

     

    Heh I remember dopefish doing nano only missions back when you could snipe people from 70 m with it and outgun primary weapons in cqc

    Haha,

     

    I remember when G1 would regularly release a new Weapon on ARMAS marketplace that would dominate and was OP as hell.
    Everyone flocked to the Marketplace to grab this OP weapon.

     

    Many complained on the forums.... for months.

    And then.... after maybe 4-6 months, after many were sold, they would nerf that weapon into oblivion.

     

    Haha, I thought to myself.. what a SCAM..

    Rinse & Repeat.

     

    Lol

     

    They made some good coin back then,

     

     

    I think it took them 9 months to finally fix nano
