Youl need to post screen shots using another service, for reasons i wont use that link. So clarify your sentence because its miss leading. " reinstalled the game and when i finished installing the launcher." You reinstalled the game.. Then installed the AdvL ? or "once you finished reinstalling the game the vanilla launcher showed the error message" Because installing the the game would imply you already have the Vanilla game launcher installed. For questions about the Advanced launcher you need to refer to their help service / forum threads. although AdvL is "supported" now, if there is issues when you use apply it then they are best to fix/solve any issues.

Hey MrLek, This is more than just "APB Crash".. also I'm not a user of advL but some direction for you. Can you break down your problem solving. Have you attempted doing a completely clean install of the game. - "program files > uninstall APBGame" + checking install directory is completely clear of files including "advanced launcher files" .. make sure the advL is completely removed. If the game then once reinstalled works "vanilla" then you've ruled out two theories. 1) "vanilla game" issue 2) hardware+OS issue. You've put that after a few repairs it does work normally. so from your post i would say there are a few possibilities. 1) corrupt files from advL - Remove it completely redownload latest version and try the process again 2) check your AV AMware and OS Security apps are not blocking or restricting advL .

You need to provide some more info my friend . What With When Where Why . Is this something your experiencing trying to install the game? or do you have it installed already but this is on first launch? also what OS build do you use? as well as hardware configuration? and installation directory? Do you by any chance get more information provided with this error message, Windows will normally provide an info box with error code, or just a simple pop up.

can we clarify you guys are running the game "vanilla" with no mods: Launcher / shaders / file edits etc. Other things to keep in mind when problem solving anticheats issues before you begin modifying regfiles & uninstalling etc.. for those that are new to this kind of issue. -> Windows 10 updates to Defender + UAC + encryption (if you use it on OS PRO) +firewall Exceptions = will/Can affect the game if you have it installed to the C:/ Directory. latest updates are not very game friendly especially to older games. this is due to newer ransom ware, MS has dictated security is priority over gaming which is fair. This can be a problem if the game is unable to update a file due to one of the OS applications is restricting access or even run state. -> Modern AV/ AMware = use "hips" / "Sandboxes" for any applications it deems "unsafe/un-stable/possible threat" so if this has begun after a game update worth checking your "security apps" for restrictions. [ if you are not familiar with this, reference your "security app help site" ] This is the same as above regarding Restricted access/run state. This is what i use - just for reference for those unsure what to look for. . -> Overlays & Hooking . . This is the most common issue - although the error your getting is "corrupt data" Any applications attempting to overlay ; Steam, origin, uplay, epic, battlenet, geforce ansel, any others .... they can be seen as a "false negative" to anti-cheats. and although the creators of anti-cheats add exceptions, sometimes updates can through these out.. steam does too but rare. Try running the game with all game clients closed except steam if you use it. This list of Overlays also Includes Hardware Monitoring = EVGA, MSI , RiverTuner etc including discord. also try running the game with out discord etc running, including background processes. I personally do not allow discord to hook to my game including overlay. Additionally if you are creators or just trying to record/capture. applications that "hook" to DX / OpenGL will also be detected. Hooking to DX/Opengl is one of the main ways cheats work for overlaying target boxes, auto aim etc. were the Dx processes are tapped for pre information being sent to your graphics card etc. why a lot of video capture still use it for the purest form of video capture. = false negative. APB for me when I use my apps will block the hook and close the game out right with anticheat screaming.. some times it will show an "illigal event" message or "currupt data" .. Deleting the BEservice_x64 is not a good idea. if you are running x64 OS, 32 bit applications require the 64 bit components to run stable. the BEService & BEservice_x64 are both performing required tasks to make sure the game runs in a stable environment. simply removing the x64 can/will make it unstable. from the day the game launched it was always best running on x64 planform although 32bit. if you are on x64 deleting the BEservice_x64 is not going to help as APB server side will stop attempting to receive BE packets and ultimately kick you (could result in a flag). and its advisable to allow this to run so you do not flag your system. however if you are on 32bit OS (x86) then you shouldn't even be seeing this BEService_x64 as it is a x64 process. Quote from BattleEye : "In order to serve its purpose of preventing and detecting the use of cheat software with the goal of ensuring a fair game environment, BattlEye may process the following information from you: - IP address - Game identifiers (e.g. in-game name, account ID, etc.) - Hardware device information and identifiers (e.g. serial numbers) - Information about the running operating system << Detecting a 64bit OS with only 32bit process will flag an error / illegal event - Information about game-related and operating-system-related files and memory - Information about running processes, drivers and other executable code - File names included in other information listed here, which might also contain your operating system user name" The best way to safely remove BE files is via safemode where it will be 100% de-active. Just keep in mind that doing so will/can effect other games you play that use this service as like punkbuster it becomes more widely used and integrated. Really all you should need to do is: Two Steps I would try if you wish to reinstall your BattleEye for APB. 1) rename The "battleEye" folder from APB Reloaded\Binaries to "Bk_BattleEye" & move the APB_BE.exe into this folder. for backup reasons. 2) APB Launcher / Options / verify game files. (the Launcher should automatically detect that BattleEye is missing and redownload. to my knowledge the BattleEye files are stored on APB Servers for your regions. so it will be the latest versions. The launcher will also verify all game files for integrity. ( I have done this 3 times to test ) Additional step, if you have the game installed to your C:/ Directory is to double check your "security applications" for False Negatives. If "Corrupt data" message is shown again then I would re-question your security applications , and run state. file access etc. if this error was happening world wide to everyone then we could say X file by game or BE is the issue. Unfortunately with so many variations of OS builds, Hardware and software environments , and that its not a widely effecting issue, with out more info regarding the "issue" problem solving from the ground up individually is your best option. Hope this helps you. Oh and x64 problem with RTX is a completely different thing and not to be confused with this.

Hi @NEVKE sorry for the late "get back" .. finally made it down my list of things to check/test... I made a note about ssd. A long time ago when 120gb ssd's cost £150+ i remember running apb on ssd and it didn't like it. so I copied/mirrored the entire game from my secondary HDD (physical 4tb 3.5 Hard Disk sata III ) to my Secondary SSD ( 1tb 2.5 solid state Sata III ) . This would seem irrelevant right.. wrong. APB does fall into that category of older games. given that its core code is 11+ years old.. Conclusion for me ( I have only tested this on 1 of my ssd's and it wasn't an clean install of the game, just mirror) the game was unstable. Although my FPS was at 60, it was dropping sporadically to 35, 46, 55.. never really below 30. and i tried everything to solve this ingame. Not modifying the game files or system. bit of background info, all of my SSD's and HDDs are listed as AHCI for sataIII , (this is in the mobo) don't change this if you are unsure , if you do it can cause system os to become unstable. for the sake of testing i copied my attempted in game settings of stability - Nearest possible, back to my HDD version that is flawless, and it ran fine. not at best but fine.. After some research this is a known issue with older games and Apps. and falls into the category of . "some software applications become too out dated with lack of update support or simply core code that can not be updated to suit modern hardware" This actually surprised me and goes to show testament of how long this game has been running. 11+ years we are talking pre BF3, . at modern warfare 2 times haha. not to say this is your issue, But. if you want to try .. and youv got an old Sata III HDD be it 3.5 or even 2.5 (laptop) doesnt need to be big, can be 120gb that you can connect in, set it as secondary GPT. create a folder tree like : Steam/SteamApps/Common/ *APB Reloaded* and mirror/copy your game into this directory. then simply rename your original apb install location to "bk_ APB Reloaded" or similar. this will cause steam to not recognise your original install, then you can "un-install from steam " this will not delete your original install, you can then "install game" and select your new hdd directory, steam will automatically detect and setup. . to revert this you can simply uninstall the game in steam, revert original game location name back, and install - locate directory again. I have no idea why Applications or games can not work with ssds. its out of my depth. but i have had issues with other Dx9 & below titles, retro etc. why I still run a 4tb sataIII HDD . All the best. Edit added = Thinking more about it.. this is odd. as i know a few people running the game on ssds. just another random hurdle in the games life span.

Great "test stream" over on the YouTube Channel. Our session was nearly 3 hours long !! Play the game at my usual high Quality settings 2k res and looking lush,. made some tweaks to my "modified codec" ... and boom.. one great looking 720p 30fps stream.. yep I get it looked a little pixely in places, and if you watched it on a big tv or monitor full screen not so shiny. but had to find the happy medium of bandwidth, user devices and playback quality / performance. So here is the full 2 hour 40 minute stream. at some point I will add in time stamps of missions. Enjoy Oh ! and thank you every one who has been watching the Un-Cut series and showed for the live stream !

Currently doing some test streams, might be on and off as I configure it. youtube.com/sgtdrayke or Drayke Live

My Bad.. Episode 15 of the Uncut series - Day 12/ 28 for the February daily Episodes. . Hit the , Share ❤ , Comment your thoughts -

.. Interesting, iv heard people speak about this with other games and around work but know one has actually given hard evidence this is a real thing? Not to challenge your knowledge, help me understand the logic to this.. I can understand that a "bottleneck" of information or "hardware / software stutter" situation can happen if it drops too low. but we would be talking below 10% of which windows alone is the 10% .. but then we are in the realms of system stability of your hardware and os thinks the gpu is faulty/unstable this can cause the system to "temporally stop the card" or worse case the computer. I Ran some random test and screen grabbed my character idle and then moving with explosion to simulate a "load" obviously in an ideal test there would also be a mission and other players, its late I'm not going to do that test right now. Only big difference is my game is running window and stable - ref the other topic about rtx and how . but i was curious if i can make it unstable below the "1500mhz" . This is Idle standing around. for a few minutes people joined the server and left. This was the "load test" again few minutes of jumping around firing grenades off and shooting civies.

This was a great mission but Tough.. Episode 14 of the Uncut series - Day 11/ 28 for the February daily Episodes. . Hit the , Share ❤ , Comment your thoughts -

....

So further playing tests this NvC tweak was (for me, this is very important to keep in mind,) But because I want this game to keep being populated and for people to enjoy it I have taken the time to screen grab and make this mini guide if you choose to try.. BUT => This is at your own risk/doing, take your time to follow onscreen instructions, and keep in mind that if it does not work you can simply reverse the steps and remove the profile. Also this is running the game at the mentioned settings Basic > Quality custom (defined by Advanced options) - Game in Window mode only - Vsync off - smooth frame on - Multi gpu off - AAdanced > everything on Except = Low Quality Hud off - render Eye Lashes off - Max Anisotropy 2x - AA Beta Off. If you do not know how to load Nvidia Control Panel then you shouldn't be following this. DO NOT have the game running, it must be completely closed. PhysX default processor : 1. go to Config Surround, PhysX - 2. processor select your primary GPU. (unless you run a specific gpu this should always be your primary especially if you are running a 3kseries.) [running secondary gpus for physX is redundant these days ] Very important step before you modify m3d Profiles 1. go to Adjust Image Settings - 2. set to "use the advanced 3d image settings THEN YOU MUST CLICK APPLY Bottom Right. , Do NOT select any other option including slider, profiles will only work if this setting is enabled. 1. go to Manage 3d settings - 2 select tab " program settings" 3. If you can not locate your APB.exe in the drop list click on ADD 3.1 ADD window scroll through the list, 98% of the time the game will be listed as show, a very rare and odd occasion you may have to click "Browse" and manually find your .exe - This will be in your Binaries folder as "APB.exe" do not confuse it with the launcher or any other exe. Once you have selected the exe then click "add selected program" 1. your APB.exe should now be shown in the droplist box . you can now use the mini drop boxes next to each option *** were it states "use Global settings" this is only referring to your current global defaults , my "global defaults may differ to yours. focus on the actual options in the Brackets ( ) ** Additional Warning, - NVC can be slow at times, especially when selecting in the mini lists so click once and wait , try not to use the mouse wheel as this can also change options. go slow keep track of what you are selecting. Blue Boxes highlighted are set by default and should not need changing. (providing you have not modified your global settings) Red Boxes Highlighted are options I have changed. Again click "APPLY" in the bottom right of the window once you have made your changes. your control panel may flicker once or twice. its normal . Once you have clicked apply you can close NVC and then load the APB Launcher and run game. I hope this helps as many of you as possible, even if it just provides you that extra bit of game time. Remember if you have issues or dislike the options, simply select the profile you have created and click "remove" or you can "Restore" the profile to default, you can also reverse your PhysX options too as well as the Image settings option if you wish to have 1 setting for all games.

Yeah , so I previously said in one of my other thread posts, (cant find it now) but when joining A) server B) missions your system has to receive and process data. Something like this (not perfect dont quote me) APBR client (you) Request to server > All client character profiles for joining server (ip) Eu1 (example) > [ character customisations - body styles - hair - make up - tattoos - clothing outfits - clothing modifications + colours + decals + player stats] > [ Character Vehicles ALL. - customisations + paint + decals ] > [character music profiles - custom music + for kill sound track etc] > [extra profile contents - Graffiti art work ] > All client locations in/on map by co-ordinates + mission/activity_status_ > Server Requests packets from each client to confirm > Server recieves packets and then has to redistribute packets to clients (this is done at server for security instead of p2p) > Client (you) recieves packets and unpacks info, but also has to send new updated packet. > Process restarts - this how ever has its issues, someone with a bad connection or connecting to eu from west coast california can slow this process and causes delays/packetloss etc, people attempting to use laggers also effects this, were the server is having to request multiple times until arguement is made to drop packet request or disconnect client. This data is stored in "assetcache" and should be automatically cleared on close of your game. always worth checking your assetcache folder is empty. to my knowledge the game 5 years (ish) back used to try and pre render all characters before you see/interact with them. these days there is a delay, believe this is "if" you are passing them you dont need to load them, unless argument states they are within a set zone for set time around your character view = show client profiles. problem with this is its a lot of information for an old game to process regardless of how good your machine is, I think it still only uses max quad with 8 threads.. ? (id have to double check this when i next load it as i run 8core 16 thread),, unfortunately code = game engines, do not get quicker/better as hardware does. unless they are re -written to do so or to fit the new hardware. more noticeable when you receive oppo as "i believe" the game prioritises and pre loads/renders all characters in your current/active mission". so bigger issue here is the game then says to your system, i need to load all these assists NOW.. load X amount of files from cache or install = send to graphics and sound right as you get the sound and mission activation. where this really goes wrong is when 3 things make this worse, someone joins the server and within the first few seconds are put in a mission, bad connection causes packet loss / delay or they are trying to run the game on a machine that cant run the game, the last 2 together is the most common. But your original post and thread topic was about Low FPS in game, not 1 second lag spikes,.. Another thing to keep in mind is your installation location, sounds silly, il briefly explain, windows 10 defender, Antimalware and uac plus all the other bits that work hard to keep your C drive safe dont really care about games. they say they do. always worth checking your game is not being limited by 3rd party apps. so thats why installing your games to a secondary location (hdd or ssd) is better providing its set as a secondary additional storage, the drive will still be checked by all the above but will not be treated with the same high level access requirements, This should/could stop any issues were msw10 is for some reason flagging or stopping your game from running smooth. I personally run APB R Laucher and APB R Game with UAC requirements, you can check yours search under "user account control settings" Also worth checking the "RTX sereies" thread i mention setting up a m3d profiles , aprofile for apb, setting the card and game to performance in options helps and some other bits. 3k cards are beasts for this game, you can easily run the game in high and set card to run the game in performance mode with out it breaking a swet. my EVGA XC3 Ultra sits around 40% load and doesnt get close to 50c without turning on the fans ..
