    The game uses api to communicate, so I highly doubt it's nvidia's fault per se. And I can't even find any other games with this issue.

    The whole "64-bit" theory is just lol. You have 64bit cpu and windows 7/10 64bit and you are able to run 32 bit software... LO better finally look into this and say something because. If you guys wait for the engine update  so this problem disappear, you are going to have a bad time - it's not coming any time soon.

    that's not how it works.

     

    the blame was also not on nvidia per sé but the old outdated engine.

     

    there also is quite an amount of emulation required to run 32bit software on 64bit hardware - you might have seen WOW64 on your pc.

    if nvidia doesn't do as good of a job of emulating as microsoft (which also dont do perfect emulation, not every software runs) e.g. because certain feature/instructions are seen as deprecated - well, this might lead to crashes.

    it's not very far-fetched to think that new drivers - especially for whole new architectures - could lead to crashes. and definitely not unheard of. 

    e.g. pubg, also a mess of a game, would run much better on certain driver versions but straight up crash on some newer ones.

    Hmm.

    although i'd argue that it varies how noticable this is depending on the weapon - some really benefit from it but you hardly get to feel the downside.

    same for cj3 though, as well as hb to a degree (hb2 ntec days, anyone? good old scrub meta)

     

    i did like LOs idea of tweaking it further by making it also change the firerate (and dmg, iirc?)

    but oh well, we know how this turned out

     

    but really, idk if mods should be touched that much - except kevlar ofc, increasing it to 3000% health and removing its downsides to finally please todesklinge.

    i do think we have a good array of mods - except that the lower levels are basically unutilized.

     

    the game has other issues though. and you can't tell me imbalance in mods are remotely responsible for the dropping player count.

    add horse kick system instead

    and pets and housing

     

    in all seriousness, if you don't get leadership when you request it, you wouldn't also get enough votes to kick said person.

    but yes, the current system can so easily be abused e.g. by people damaging you just enough to not be able to be kicked. this just means there has to be additional demerits, e.g. for team damage. (possibly still not reflected in score and not leading to auto kicks, because unless those get disabled for premade groups, they are just a nuisance - like the 5 teamkills/5 minutes limit right now - if you're just having fun with your friends.)

    • best of all, as final, Gold in oppo, sniper stuns at 100m, my teammate left me alone at 500m of distance with mission object to do. after some strange characters appearing in chat i understood that they were cousins, cause using same nice emote characters for communicate. is my fault again, cause i should never interfere in family business.

    this wouldn't be a fair reason to kick though anyway.

     

    enabling /abandonmission for opposed missions just asks for trouble - but if the majority was for it, i wouldn't mind.

    That's the problem in APB, there is no BALANCE!!!

    ok

    what's imbalanced in your opinion? concrete examples, not "the whole game" - i know it's hard to be constructive when you're used to just making blanket statements

     

    i do feel like it's in a good spot right now, besides shotguns.

    Clotting Agent 3, this is the only green character Modification that have NO Downsides in the game. Its overpowered in every situation.

    I am playing with Kevlar 3 over years (because i have a low aiming speed, so i am forced in every game to compensate this with more HP, to have a chance).

    But with Kevlar 3 i dont become more HP, Enemys can hit me better (because i am slower), i need longer time to reach mission objects and i cant not reach "special jumping places", because i am to slow in running/jumping-range. Non Kevlar 3 user can evade income enemy vehicles easy, but i can not... so i am getting killed much times without to have a chance to evade. CA3 have max speed and easy gameplay.

    Heavy Weapons doubles me down as regular.

     

    Have tested Fragile and Flakjacket too and they are absolute bad and useless.

    Also why is Clotting Agent 3 so total broken OP?

    Over 99% of all Players in APB uses CA3, why there is no balance patch, like +10% take extra damage for an compensation.

     

    todesklinge, never change

    kevlar 3 needs to buffed to 10x the hp so you can score kills, we get it

     

    how many forum threads did we get about this now?

    did we really need them?

    On 7/16/2020 at 9:37 AM, Todesklinge said:

    I have created an very good and balanced rework for all green modifications on the suggestion forum, but no one from the dev team take an view on it.

     

    This gives the game more ways to choose and not to use CA3 only.

    very balanced indeed. surely. that's why it only gets positive replies.

    edit: lmao looking at it again, flak jacket +1 grenade/-40  EXPLOSIVE DAMAGE taken or -1/-80

    lol. what in the world. how were you not hired yet? LO and G1 are/were missing out on serious talent.

    Wrong? Unless he changed his stance couldn't find anything else about it. 

    Didn't Matt Scott say that shaders were allowed until the EU? Here is the QA from 2018. 

     

    Q: Shaders and certain configs, will they be allowed back into APB?
    A: I feel like that this would be a super slippery slope, to say we’re gunna allow custom shaders or changes to the game. Now having said that, I do think we need to make these options available in the game, we need to put them in. We need to allow players to change the colour of the crosshair for low accessibility, and low processing reasons (Editorial: He meant low processing power.). That’s something that we should be putting in. While we appreciate the community doing the leg work, we feel it should come from our side, because it’ll not only look better, it’ll come from us, it’ll work properly and won’t be flagged by our anti-cheat. It’s a slippery slope to say “sure, you can mess with the components of the game”.

     

    🙂

    no? have you read what you've just posted?

    trying to fix ur fps on this game is like trying to solve global warming.

    it's technically easy because we have proven economically efficient methods to internalize the external effect of co2 emissions such as carbon taxes or emissions trading but lobbyists prevent it?

    (obviously carbon taxes etc can only be the beginning, there are other policies that need to be implemented)

     

    so... we have lobbyists here too, trying to prevent cheats from getting banned? xd

     

    or do we also have 2-3% contrarians (the amount of climate change "sceptics" in science) that get grossly overrepresented in the media (the forums) because they cry the loudest?

    1. Input lag from Windowed Fullscreen (Exclusive fullscreen was removed due to lacking DX12 support)
    2. Visual and audio bugs
    3. Doors getting out of sync with the server and showing open when they are closed or closed when they are open
    4. Issues with Field of View and mouse sensitivity in Marksman mode. The more zoom, the more problematic this becomes.
    5. Possible bugs in the UI that are slowing down FPS
    6. Issue with stutters that was cleared after rebooting
    1. Input lag really depends on how bad it is. Is it the usual additional 4-5ms or like an extra 50ms?
    2. Audio bugs can really annoy anyone - even more so visual ones. But that always depends on the extent of these bugs.
    3. How often do the door issues occur? Probably often enough if it was encountered during playtesting.  Will really mess with gameplay, especially if the door state is different for everyone in the same mission. Should probably be fixed asap - this is worse than LoD fade ins.
    4. Eh - just as always, it depends how bad it is, lol. Is there still the additional MM-sensitivity slider?
    5. The dimensions would also be interesting here. How much of a performance hit are we talking? People were looking forward to EU for performance upgrades - I do think this can wait till beta though.
    6. Rebooting... the whole PC? This... sounds pretty bad.

     

    Issues 3. and 6. should probably be fixed before you push an unenjoyable product that makes your whole PC stutter into Beta. Same goes for issue 2. if those bugs are severe.

     

    More issues coming with more players is also what I'd see happening - but that's just all the more reason to fix these issues first before gettings swamped in even more (that will probably not be fixed along the way of those new issues)

     

    I know it'd be just a Beta but you'd inevitable get bad press/complaints on forums if the beta is bad. People don't really distinguish between Beta, Early Access and Launch anymore because it has been used as a "free qc", demo (e.g. destiny 2s beta was just that) or marketing thing in the past by publishers - many just expect a polished product there already and not too many changes going into release.

     

    I'd say... call it an Alpha if you will - there might be less expectations and more understanding for issues.

    and "the fix" simply is the engine upgrade...

    yes it is! because you can't miraculously make a game compatible to 64bit

    too hard to understand i guess.

    For my part i spend lots of Money cuz i still believe in APB.

    Of course, I, too, spend money very selflessly, just to support the game, not to get anything personally. :^)

    So tell me why shouldn't i ask for the engine upgrade as much as i want to?

    Because you've already gotten your answers and you get new information every week already but still complain about the same thing expecting something different. It's just spam at this point and spam is annoying. So tell me why shouldn't tell you to stop spamming your pointless garbage? :^)

    I'm a customer I want at least something playable.

    I'm a customer, I don't want to be annoyed by spam. :^)

    Honestly, true pepeg hours.

     

    i, too, use an rtx 2080 ti - two in fact - and have these issues but i'm not brainlessly complaining.

    i just need ONE response from LO... when ist the engine upgrade (the fix for this) ready?

     

    so...

    then is there a reason why they do not have an actual announcement regarding this issue?

     

    otherwise it looks like they just dont care for fixing issues in the current version.

    yes there is a reason why we don't have an announcement yet

    he announced beta tests for early 2020 and they couldn't keep that deadline and guess how the people on forum reacted?

    they cried, like you guys do.

     

    we get *weekly progress updates* and you guys still are like WEN ETA??? WEN ETA???????????????????????????????????

     

    and probably are the ones to complain the most when it doesn't work out because it's so hard to estimate

    or whine about bugs when they push out an unfinished product because people were complaining

     

    sorry to break the news to you but 20-series users are a minority - especially in an old f2p game - and the fix is just not that easy.

    RTX2080 (what isn't old hardware)

    do you understand that this is precisely the issue and that they are working on it? do you want to make ten more posts about it? how many more responses do you need?
