    Hi everyone,

     

    Lixil and several other team members were out all week with me at E3, so we have had limited ability to get on the forums. I'm sure you've noticed her responding at night mostly for the past couple of days.

     

    The DDOS attacks seem to be ping ponging between Jericho and Citadel right now, which is irritating because we are forced to leave up mitigation nearly all the time. My original post was two weeks ago, and we're getting close to a solution now. I should be able to give an update soon.

     

    Thanks,
    Matt"

    With the problems plaguing the server since battle eye there might not be a choice.

    Optimizing the game has nothing to do with the servers. I think thats what you do not understand. Optimizing the game would lead to better fps and less stuttering (client side). Nothing to do with the servers.

    That goes back to what I said earlier, regardless of now or later the game needs optimization and doing it now would at least make dealing with the server issues more bearable.

    The problem of doing it now would be useless, Since then you would have to transfer/redo the code to be put into the new engine. it would be more work for no reason. And as i said the code is unreadable hogwash right now. If they were to optimize the code now.. which they cannot, because they don't know what 1+1 is in this segment of code or what it does. and if they do they might up breaking things and making the game even more unplayable than before.

     

    TL:DR they are doing it now and it's called then engine update. So just wait.

    The more they figure it out the easier a new engine would be with fewer bugs at least *shrugs*

    Well that's the idea of the engine upgrade. To make the code readable to anyone and not friggin hieroglyphic's. Since they are also redoing alot of it it will bring optimization with it.

    Wouldnt optimizing the game stabilize things more then they are now tho? Im pretty sure it would not only help the servers run better but would allow our pcs to run the better as well.

    Ehhhh Both are two separate things.... it would only make it run a bit better on our PC's. The servers are a whole other thing, The servers would run the exact same since it's another problem.

     

    Why redirect the manpower to poop lines of code that barely anyone understands and could figure out.

    While yes a new engine would be a vast improvement optimizing what we currently have would at least make things more bearable. I dont think this engine upgrade is going to be out for sev months so getting what improvement we can now helps.

    Not wrong really, but i think currently it would just be better for them to try and push the engine as fast as they can. I mean atleast from what we have heard from Matt that it's pretty much almost done but requires ALOTTTTTTT of recoding of core systems.

     

    Also, pretty sure right now there priority is to get the servers stable and in working order now. Without it the pop would just drop like when G1 had it.

    it's not a problems of file sizes ect. This game just has YEARS of old broke patootie code that is unoptimized to hell that causes everything to run horridly.

     

    Sure it would lower file sizes but until we get the engine upgrade and LO pretty much recodes everything THEN we will see the game run better.

    Actualy you are wrong. This is what he said:

    Hi there,

     

    We are going to work on this for many reasons.. size, colorblindness, etc.

    It's just a question of time and other higher priorities right now.

     

    Thanks,

    Boderland Shaders actually makes the game more enjoable 🙂

    Wat. That had nothing to do with the shaders. This is the actual quote

    "

    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”.

    Hi all,

     

    We did just experienced another DDOS attack (literally minutes ago).

    But I don't want to confuse the issues.

    We are looking into the possibility that we have introduced an issue in this last patch.

     

    I have posted an update here.

     

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for the info Matt!

    Yea I just logged. My connection is one of the best around but hitreg for me is worse then average and now forget about it. Least I got my chars to top for Asylum this week.

    As I said above. Hitreg for me is worse then average in APB and right now id prob threat down from how poorly I can hit anything.

    Its off, I havent heard an announcement that its been on.

    They have a test server for stuff like this why would they test on the main server? Thats just stupid.

    it's the old DDoS protection still working. They are working on another thing but we shall see if that works. No news on the new protection though.

    Well, packet loss is generally due to DDOS attacks. At least, that has been the case historically. I'm not saying that's what's happening now because I have no idea. But in the past, severe packet loss was usually due to DDOS attacks.

     

    Regardless, everyone experiences it, but not everyone experiences it at the same time. Therefore, while you experience severe lag, your opponent probably isn't at that particular moment. It sucks, because it basically provides for the opponent a major advantage.

     

    It's the weekend. I've noticed a trend since LO took over. On the weekends, the servers turn to crap and there is severe lag until Monday. I suspect this is due to DDOS Mitigation. They basically turn it on while everyone is away is my guess. No one is there to babysit the servers.

    pretty accurate tbh. Hope something comes of it though... Hopefully 😐
