Since you already forbid us to comment it, lets make it official topic where we can say our opinion regarding it. So 8 hours ago you said 5 hours ago servers are back online. 3 hours of another silence, nothing has happened. At least keep us posted. First it was within 1 hour then again within 1 hour then again within 1 hour. Here we are 48 hours later.... Will you prolong those 2 hours of free jts for Halloween event which was stripped from us for servers being down? Or will you simply remove Halloween event as nothing has happened? Do you understand that population will suffer, as soon as your game is not up within 24hrs. Now it is 2nd day 48 hrs + and you guys still didn't give eta for servers being back up. When someone says pop drops, it is because of things like this where you leave your entire community in the dark without sufficient information. You don't need to post us up every 1hr but every 3-4 hours would be great. Fix that shiit already! Tnx

@MageLO So when I was starting APB today I saw it downloaded some little 3MB something for GFAC... ever since I can login the game but I cant join any of the districts because it says mismatch error. And once I get kicked to main screen I get this 2nd error: So please help!

@MageLO after each update there is always some error with the game. Currently i got issue with this error! Even though everything was good yesterday and I played yesterday normally.

yea apparently someone got banned or its just random rage ddos on citadel. I dont know is it datacenter they ddosing or apb specifically

citadel is up for anyone who run into the topic. tnx @MageLO and lil orbit

its working for me now...citadel back up.. try jericho or citadel now I hope u get in

Hopefully your 4 players from NA will be merged to rest of 300 players on Citadel. We ll give you warm welcome

can you speak in normal english so us noobs can understand the words coming out of your mouth? You managed to login into APB as FE? What is FE? You can get on your acc as we can, but you own across any char you have? Conclusion..can you login Citadel APB or not? If its working for you maybe its client side issue not server side then.

i can connect to NA world server after successful login but i cant connect to EU world server. It looks like server doesn't exist. Like chars I choose don't even have their stats on, so playtime 0 hrs at each. It isnt client issue. Its server issue. Since otherwise I wouldn't be able to login into Jericho. It seems when it comes to APB issues you and me always have identical problems. @Westford

@MageLO Idk if you guys know but Citadel is down for hours, nobody can pass into the world after login screen. Are you guys working on it? Are you aware of the situation? I see no announcements on forums apart of this topic I just made. Please some info, anyone.

Someone has been naughty, since it has been said millions of times by now that if you are not getting a mission in a full district means you know very well what you were doing by macroing and cheating generally. Meaning your patootie got shadow banned and you will not get missions because you don't deserve to get a mission you piece of s. Era of cheating is coming to an end. This will reveal many gold veterans like you who joined 2014 and since then you bully player base and community with your un-allowed "config" bs. I would give anything on this world to see your type players ego's crumble once you enter the game without any side programs, without any side help, without any potato graphics and have to actually be legit and show your real skills. But since you use cheat so long you will probably be owned by middle tier silvers. Whoever asks here why are they not getting any missions in full district instantly exposes himself as cheater. So thank you for that. I will remember your name.

go into the topic of GFAC problems. Your issue has already been resolved. We all had it. Or at least the majority of us had it.

I am shocked its all up not in 8-10 hours but in 5 hours. aside that...legendary patch promised new contacts new levels new clothes... was there no chance to add at least 1 new clothing item for this halloween event?? Will legendary patch at least come for xmas event then? We are all eager to wait for it. Nerf the 45 already! Stop nerfing OCA whisper! Its 2nd time you nerfed it! Carbine was already bs...didnt need buff! Its funny to see that nerfs always avoid meta 45 (obviously due to tears of lets call them veterans so i dont get banned for using harsher terms), but instead you keep nerfing guns paid with g1c, oca whisper is among rare guns i bought for g1c so that i could witness you turn it into complete shiat, opposed to usage of 10 day ocas and 10 day pmgs which are buffed as it is...but no lets buff 10 day pmg little bit more logic. NERF 45 !! Or delete the cursed broken pistol already! Nobody cares for Obir anymore, nobody uses it at first place! When was last time you devs went into spectating mod and actually observed missions and ppl who play them? I play missions on daily basis and I cant remember last time I seen anybody uses obir. Same thing is for oscar. Oscar used to be weapon of skill..if you seen someone using oscar you knew he got 5000+ gameplay hours. Instead with got blatant usage of 45 bs and 10 day ntecs, pmgs, ocas. Thats your meta! With that said I am happy that Halloween event comes so early but I hoped for more new things. 1 new legendary which will be sold for overpriced 10-15m's apb cash does not suffice. P.S. would be good if you added all halloween details like for every event on the main page : https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/ So that we know what to do.

I can confirm that this solved Blue screen of death issue. Good job guys and thank you

As soon as there are no official forum threads about the maintenance then maintenance didn't happen. It was indeed postponed for today, aka friday.

Nah maintenance was postponed for friday aka today. Lets hope it fixes our annoying issue.

thank you very much, its the patch we all have been eagerly waiting for last entire week. Lets hope this finally fixes BSOD.

Go to the GFAC known issues thread where are everybody with identical issue such as yourselves, including me. As of yesterday the newest info update to this is that LO staff and support is aware of this issue and they been working last week to try and fix it. After I explored forums I see that many people got this error. MageLO said they are planning to release maintenance fix today and they hope it will resolve the problem which occurred after they updated GFAC AC to GFAC version 1. Half of population of APB vanished.

Honestly if its fixed tomorrow (lets hope), the fix should be a) like last time and update itself should resolve everything. I will try option a) but if it wont work I plan to deinstall APB entirely again, install it from scratch along with GFAC. I passed through reg edits, through powershell removing the conflict I had with Windows’ security subsystem (LSA — Local Security Authority) and VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) and EAC since my event logger reported that actually EAC which suppose to be offline(not used anymore) is indeed one of the error causes along with GFAC. I went even with creating entire new virtual machine with Windows 11 and APB installed there to behave as entirely new PC. I had identical issue there which brings me to logical conclusion that whoever at this moment downloads APB and installs it from scratch will face the BSOD situation. I gave up only when I got confirmed by MageLO that they are aware of the situation. Which comforts me a lot. I have to add as well that I installed in sunday APB at my remote laptop and I had no issues whatsoever. The tragedy begins when I attempted to simply enter APB on my PC which was always the main for APB. After it installed last 34MB patch all hell broke loose and situation deteriorated the deeper I went with troubleshooting. At the beginning of issue in monday I normally opened APB and after entering password and choosing my character I kept getting kicked out as my first screenie above saying it simply needs restart of the game. Only after going through troubleshot the hell out of it I started to get BSOD by simply starting the game. I can with outmost certainty confirm that it is not an anti-virus and firewall issue because I made sure not only to white list literally entire GFAC folder every single .dll and file which exists inside that folder, along with APB, along with EAC explicite. I even went with risky situation of disabling my firewall and anti virus completely for 10 minutes and tried to start in that session. So people who keep yapping its anti virus clearly didn't do more than 2 steps of troubleshooting the situation like you and me did. Lets hope you and me and rest of people having this issue, tomorrow can raise glasses and celebrate the solution of this problem.

Thank you very much, I wasn't around APB last few weeks so I got caught off guard and shocked when I couldn't enter APB. Its only important that you guys are aware of this issue so you can start working on solving it. Now I know. Lets hope all gets fixed tomorrow. You will definitely have my feedback.

Usually when things suppose to work by all means but they don't I get this obsessive urge to find a solution asap. I agree that they should roll black to previous version. I am sad that you got identical problem but in same time I am happy because I know now that I am not alone in this. At this point after decade of playing APB, I wouldn't call it loyalty anymore, I would call it an addiction lol

Did you perhaps come into possession of those different sizes of these 2 files? If you did, please upload it on some free uploading site and send me the link to download them. I think its sooner the first than the latter. Because hackers who systematically cheat and hack in APB entire decade didn't care for Battle-eye, nor EAC, and they surely wont care for GFAC. Its usually premium hacks they pay on monthly basis which are hard to detect. If the sudden pop drop is after releasing GFAC 1.0 then logical conclusion is that this was the anomaly that keeps players away from APB. Like me and you. The good news in this bad news is that I am not only one with this error. I was afraid that I am special like always in APB regarding every single error there possibly can be. I had it. It always attacks exactly my laptop lol. I have had issues from day one with GFAC but then they deployed fix and it worked flawlessly all until this monday when after longer time being offline I returned to APB and experienced first error after lobby when I tried to login with my char. At that point I got message that GFAC is not working and restarting APB will fix the problem. "Shockingly" as expected it didn't. I restarted like 30 times to no avail. Then I started to play and troubleshoot it deeply, adding anti-virus white list to GFAC, to APB...even went editing some group policies. After 200 steps I did (half of which I already forgot what I changed) I started to get BSOD with exactly .sys file. No app aka executable file should EVER be able to bring down my entire OS to complete restart of the system. Meaning GFAC is putting its nose into the kernel memory sections where its not suppose to even be at. Windows knows it and therefore we have this problem. Most important thing to me was that @MageLO and support team is aware of this issue so that they can start working on it asap. Or like you said simply re-roll back to previous version which obviously worked for everyone. What I cannot stand in situations like these is the silence and ignore from only people who has power to change this. You said that Magelo addressed this issue somewhere last thursday? Can you please copy paste me here what he said regarding this?

@MageLO Ok so am I the only one with this sudden problem or there are other people experiencing this annoying thing as well? After researching almost entire day, re installing APB entirely, re installing GFAC and clicking repairs like crazy the issue persist. Each time I try to start APB it gives me Blue screen of death (BSOD) with the error messages Stop code: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA What failed: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys I did next steps: 1) I ran commands in cmd sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 2)I ran mdsched.exe 3) I white listed both GFAC and EAC in my anti virus and firewall 4) I disabled Deep Behavior Inspection temporarily 5) I re installed EAC My event log confirmed next: “LSA package is not signed as expected. This can cause unexpected behavior with Credential Guard. PackageName: negoexts.” and also mentions “Virtualization Based Security for Credential Guard auto enablement status.” These refer to Windows’ security subsystem (LSA — Local Security Authority) and VBS (Virtualization-Based Security). Now, I know that Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) operates very close to kernel level, the same privileged layer that Credential Guard and VBS use. So when LSA / Credential Guard report signature or compatibility issues, it often means EAC tried to hook into protected memory, which Windows 11’s security system blocked or crashed instead of allowing. That fits perfectly with my BugCheck 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Am I on the good track? My question is also why is Easy Anti-Cheat still coming with APB install package? If we all agreed to use GFAC? Are there any players here experiencing this same error?

@MageLO I returned after few weeks of being offline and suddenly I cannot enter APB anymore. Errors that I keep getting states: Error: Failed to update file GFAC_Service.exe File integrity check failed. Error: Failed to update file GFAC.dll. File size mismatch: expected 1022648 got 1023672. After I deinstalled GFAC completely and ran the APB launcher again, it installed GFAC again. But now each time i try to start APB it actually delivers me to blue screen of death and its restarting my entire pc. With classic message of "your device ran into a problem and needs to restart.
