    wall of gibberish text

     

    The mental breakdown is real! It's been a day, go outside and touch grass, play something else.

     

    You should be thankful for LO and personally Matt Scott for saving this game and allowing you to play for another 4+ years. 

    Right now this game is not profitable and any cut-throat company would simply shut it down, I genuinely believe at this point Matt Scott is keeping this game up out of pity.

    People are using it because of the Kevlar trend. Only 6 shots to kill Kevlar 3 users, and you don't have the mobility penalty like with the OBIR.

    In the past week I have seen one player with Kevlar and that was in Asylum. 


  3. Just shut down this game already if you can't deal with the cheaters at some respectable level. At least it's going to be satisfactory to listen to the lamentations of those brainlets. How are they going to live without their edgy non-sense 2 syllables names? What are they going to do? Is there a life after APB?

  4. So your email got compromised...and I assume you get an alert for login from a different location...but you do nothing to prevent further damage? But say you don't, lets dive into the possibilities.

     

    There's a data breach somewhere and Attacker gains credentials for your email. Attacker logins, finds out you play APB and decides put APB account credentials on marketplace. Are you telling me they went through every service to check the password? For hundreds or thousand of people? No...it's time consuming.

    - If your email and APB re-use the same password, Attacker would either have to change the APB's email or password otherwise whoever buys the credentials for APB may get access to your email....Attacker doesn't want this.

    - if your APB account credentials are different from the email, they still need to change the password so they can put it on marketplace. But here's what YOU said

     a few weeks after that I log into APB because I wanted to see the new features. The moment I log into my character I realize sometthing is wrong: 

    you realize something is wrong after you login...This implies the password was not changed because if it was you would already expect something to be wrong.

    So password WAS NOT CHANGED. 

    Huge red flags in your story. And t hat's only the story, we don't know what bogus  you have said to support

     

    Press F to doubt.

    Matt having the big brain that he does sold the rights to APB to a chinese company. You will never see APB 2. Ever.

    I think he sold it to save his skin. He made the terrible decision to acquire G1. LO has some private investors, I don't think they were happy that lots of money were wasted and no return of investment. Just a theory.

     

    They could maybe  pull off APB "2" from the scratch with 1 map. Got voices, concept art, map design.... And with the modern development tools that make things easier than 15 years ago,  they had a chance for some early access which would have been far better option.  It's impossible now. GG.

    You mean the guy who saved the game from being shut down and who keeps the game running to this day?

    Yeah, what a jerk.

    "Saved". Just like you keep a dying  patient on life support rather than pulling the plug and saving them from the misery.

    Nothing was achieved in those 4 years.  And I haven't played for 2 years because the RTX crash(30 minutes FC every few months). And I'm not the only one.

    RTX fix after EU, right? Oh, wait...

    Not that I believed there would be EU and even then I said RTX fix should be top priority. If people can't play ...they won't spend money.

     

    And lets be real. They didn't keep this game running because us but because they were naive or incompetent to spend millions of  I assume investors money to purchase G1. They really wanted that return of investment. Doubt they are even break-even.

    However, we are bringing on a full time specialist to help, so things should pick up pace.

     

    Didn't he say 6+months ago that he's hiring some UE specialists who were also supposed to do some profiling too?

    Pretty much this, people assume crosshair color based triggerbots are the only way to do it which just isn't correct at all. This change will do absolutely nothing except for removing a part of APB's game design which will only punish your actual legit players because the cheaters will go to the next best thing and on top of all this you are designing your game around cheaters when there is other solutions that punish cheaters themselves, not your actual players.

     

    At the end of the day, if we had an actual Anti-cheat we wouldn't be having this discussion and while BE is doing its job at keeping away the Shaw-copters for the most part, subtle things like Triggerbots, macros, low fov aimbots, silent aim etc aren't being caught and it's only going to become a bigger issue the longer it stays like this. So instead of designing the game around combating cheats and mitigating exploitable game mechanics that could be used for cheats, the answer is a proper Anti-cheat that can catch these subtle ways of cheating, not changing the game itself.

    They are all "color based" in APB, just different approaches how to do it. You can read memory using Windows API which is unsafe or do it in  kernel mode. But most common, easy and apparently safe way is something like AutoIt which  is no-brainer and it's the most widely spread here. Changing the crosshair system would definitely help, most of those people will not move to something else or if they do, they will get banned. (or at least better chance to get caught than autoit)

    I don't see how this would punish legit players. If you are color blind just use some crosshair program until LO adds custom crosshair colors.

    Not sure if it's just you, but I haven't had any issues with driving in the current game. The cars feel the same as they have in the past to me, and my preferences for car choice are still the same.

    Definitely not me.  I had the same issue last year, someone on the forums said they experience the same thing. It was gone after awhile and it wasn't across every district. Maybe it's gone now too, I haven't bothered to check again.

    Oh, well. I'm still waiting for the Turing's GPUS fix.

    That's a good guess considering your very detailed discription of problems.

    What's not clear to you?

    Driving is unresponsive. It's very simple. Cars don't even move at their full speed and controls are not immediate as they should be. Taking a 90 degrees is a nightmare. Generally it feels like  driving a tank, not 4x4. And it's really not only 4x4, it's the same issue with the other cars. Just logged it again to see if it's any difference - well it's not. I know it's not me, neither it's the first time this happens.

    And apparently servers are running at 33ms(30fps) but pretty sure this is not the case.

    Even G1 was better.


  11. Logged in, joined a district  and hopped in the 4x4. It was impossible to drive like last year, felt  unresponsive and just slow. Joined a gold district - it was even worse. My guess they have allocated less resources for it or it runs or shittier  tier  server. 

    But don't worry guys, once they finish the engine update they will fix the rest. Have 1660, 2000 or 3000 series nvidia ? Hope you don't mind few more years.


  12. Of course it's political. The spinning LO is trying to do now is as hilarious as the way twitter and facebook try to spin the fact they tried to censor the fact Joe Biden is tied to corruption on a high level.

    You undersell it. AVX has been supported by basically every CPU made in the past 10+ years.

     

    Dropping AVX support just to cater to a tiny minority of people that adamantly refuse to upgrade their beyond ancient hardware (and rabidly demand developers still cater to them) is a terrible plan, and will hurt the game going forward. It's a shame that MattScott somehow doesn't realize this.

    10+...more like exactly 9 because it came out with 2nd gen Intel in 2011.

    There are not many games that use AVX, and ones that those let you toggle.

    So yes, turning down AVX was the better choice, pretty sure Matt Scott can see what hardware most people have.
