neophobia

it probably didn't check those just for the sake of it but they tried to inject (rivatuner seems very likely here) edit: ye it actually says hook in the filename lmao anticheat can always affect legit player. back in the days i used ahk to do music binds - ofc it blocks ahk, which is very reasonable. same here for some of those tools, they inject/hook apb - this is an entryway for cheats too. ofc BE should be able to distinguish and check checksums - they'd need to update their whitelists accordingly. as stated in other threads atiags is quite useless these days though and leaving it to load has 0 benefit

they specifically stated that advanced launcher is currently allowed and an exception in battleye and thus all options should not lead to bans. however, they want to integrate those options into the client eventually - and with ue 3.5 it probably wouldn't be possible otherwise. removing fog/smoke is not an option that the advanced launcher provides. particle effects still tank fps (i7 8770k@5.1GHz, 1080ti (stock oc)) and limiting those via advanced launcher is quite reasonable. also this, probably isn't what this thread is about - the OP says it's not working, he's not actually just asking if it is allowed. BTT: at this point in time, advanced launcher still works (and is allowed) - did you place the files in the apbreloaded directory? it should look kinda like this (there are some more files in there, i just cut it short, main point is that APBGame (etc) and Advanced Launcher are in the same directory)

the other way around, since you took pictures from the floor everything seems bigger giant fetish

i told u not to lie cmon those pics speak for themselves pwease steppy on me big giantchan

one of those ppl with a giant fetish (as in, being devoured by a giantess or smth) dont lie

where does the controversy here come from

title mentions basically "no assets" though i missed that when voting, whoops ~1m cash, 50-100m assets

so... basically the current score system? ^ the current system itself isn't too flawed - the main issues are that it can only match you against the players in the current district. (and making dethreating possible. which is almost always the case though... but the impact with matching against basically everyone would solve that. to some degree) i'd also suggest to somehow factor in playtime since experience is quite important in this game... but ye, there are also bad r255 golds with 2k hours (me xd)

oh. jeez. whoops, missed that. 50ms actually seems like something one realistically hits.

no, using a macro to gain a competetive advantage is. he used it outside of a mission, outside of anything at all. it is technically still bannable according to the ToS (and technically speaking, everything can be bannable either way) - but it definitely is not abuse of anything. ugh, yeah... i mean you can click the thingy in the bar where it says your name to hide it - but you really shouldn't have to

i won't tell you anything! it's a secret thus far. about the age thing: i suppose they could *warn* you during account creation that you won't be able to play APB. not exactly the best solution - but they also have other games with lower ratings that probably will eventually use the same accounts. and they are definitely obliged to prevent people of too low ages from playing the game (in some countries that is). entering false data should also not be the rule (unless for privacy reasons - i guess). good findings though (also lol, don't be so anal about them fixing the background of a webpage. the fix probably was a minute job and probably didn't involve many people.)

While this seems like one reason - I'd be highly surprised if this was the only - or even the main one. 15ms is a *very* short time and this does not fully explain all ghostshots (e.g. when actually autoing). Good finding though. using macros to gain a competetive advantage is bannable, we get it. (also jeez the amount useless fullquotes of op. (attaboy yood too xd)) "bannable" also does in fact not mean "will be banned", it (always) lies in LOs jurisdiction. (I suppose once they get their serversided AC up and running, this might be one thing they address. i think battleye also already kicks when AHK is running?)

what is the opposite direction? do you mean like... symmetrical? i mean... they couldn't ingest anything, so they'd just die of starvation. (i guess you could still feed the ends - but by the time it reaches the middle people those might be dead already.) otherwise, i guess it has to go somewhere. so... yeah? but i mean, if i was in one, i'd prefer to rip my face/butt apart than getting ruptured by someones feces. i don't wanna think about it too much though, lol.

Eh. Realism isn't really an argument when it comes to APB. (Do I need to state reasons here?) That being said, RFP does need a range nerf at least. Or accuracy, to make IR3 a bit more punishing? I guess. I for one also liked the IR changes they put in for some time. Anyway.

yes, onto the motor update !!!!! incalculated pairing fierce motor !!!!

apb does this sometimes, i think some memory leaks were fixed though? how often did this happen? any logs? current version of apb is 32bits so it can only address a maximum of 3gb ram - so it's not too surprising it runs out of memory if there is an issue quite fast

yeah, same - idk but it isn't for us to decide and they said they decided to stay with it for the time being. i guess it also helps them since they can experiment/possibly fail a bit more without tainting their own name as much? at the moment, they definitely don't do that though. g1 from a business stance was also kind of known in the industry (not too negatively i think, they kinda shaped f2p in the earlier stages which seemed a bit revolutionary) until... they kinda went to shit but i guess that might've not caught too much attention. LO on the other side... couldn't say i've ever heard of them prior to the overtake. i guess they wanna stick with the known brand for now? i don't think too bad of g1 in general although it went worse over the last years. FAT BUT: i've clawed to the hopes that they were actually working hard on the engine upgrade and couldn't do much more because they were a small team and that wouldn't change till after. AND hearing some stories in hindsight definitely worsened my thoughts about them and ultimately they were kind of known for p2w. (although arguably that was more of a stigma from the earlier stages, they did improve a bit there... and yeah, they were milking. idk how known outside of the forum regulars that is though) i mean, ultimately, who knows. it's not our decision to make - they might change it in future, they might have plans. i guess them hearing our thoughts doesn't hurt though.

^this also "replace it" why would you have to remove one for the other

satchel chargeeeees this^^^ + there is a cd on spawning in cars + ideally they should also only be available at a certain distance from the objective (it's probably bugged or at least badly tweaked though) that the normal spawns are often hot garbage and car spawners are practically needed in some locations is a different story

yeah, unless he's talking about 720p it's both. he's probably just using the integrated graphics of his cpu - and probably it's a notebook too with a turbo clock of 3.6ghz - normally running at something like 1.6ghz - that throttles down to this after a couple seconds of workload too due to cooling that wasn't intended for gaming you're doing something wrong then. it should run fine except for the occasional garbagecollection-stutter or particle effect related one (which you can limit in advanced launcher)... (32gb ddr3 are still just 3gb ddr3 to apb, so it's barely worth mentioning, op is fine with 8gb) it is definitely badly optimized - but it ran perfectly fine on a i7 3770 + gtx 660 (even max but only 60fps then). mind you, i'm still getting the occasional stutter on i7 8770k @ 5.0 + gtx 1080 ti - which can bd attributed to the two aforementioned reasons wait, are you using the gtx 780 as a physx card? xd

diffuse means like spreading something... e.g. like how a perfume smell "expands" over a room - diffusing a bomb would seem odd (although an explosion does that... kind of) defuse would be disarming the bomb xd i guess. quoting only things important to your post just makes posts/threads more legible and if you were responding to a certain point, it'd make that clearer.(and one wouldn't have to read the whole post again) it's just mildly annoying having to scroll down the whole post again on phone too, just to see a one sentence answer underneath. (especially when it's the op that doesn't really need quoting to begin with, especially if you don't address a certain point in it) i guess i could just tap on the quote to hide it too. to be fair. i didn't think of this. whoops, lul.

oh yeah? which weapons did they nerf so the prices decreased? right, only the hroken yukon (and overbuffed dow + ogre to some degree... that were quite cheap before that buff too) whoever invested in a yukon, expecting that it would stay like this is at fault themselves. it was a broken weapon, g1 admitted it, and whoever exploited it and used it as a crutch only deserves to lose that bit of value. also the most important factor in balance is how much they cost on social mp. sure. diffusing a bomb is a strange idea. it gets diffused by exploding though... uh... (defusing has a quite different meaning xd) please stop the fullquotes of big posts... but yeah, that was their saying it was reasonable - leaving the shotguns where they are rn feels still a bit off though...

i wholeheartedly agree with most statements in your post - but only partially with this one. while i always felt that shotguns were well balanced, the constant complaints about bad hitreg on shotguns were somewhat justified (albeit annoying - and i do think some "hitreg" issues were actually aiming issues lul) - and this has done away with it. it was a quite reasonable idea and good fix/buff too - obviously too strong though - and some weapons got nerfed too hard after. instead of reverting, i'd rather see it being fixed - and i feel like it only requires some tweaking.

judging from this thread, yes

yeah, the missing medal is the worst thing about it. not that you carry it way faster than normally intended. sure. albeit glitchy, i wouldn't call this an exploit either as much as bhopping or runboosting isn't one in CS. it uses ingame mechanics - and if they were seen as an issue, they wouldn't be hard to fix. they don't seem like an issue though.
