So 9PM happened,, Another Episode hits the screens, amazing that we are hitting Episode 61 of uncut.. and this makes 922 Published APB Reloaded Videos to date. (not including live)

ppfff.... yeah. @Ketog haha I just dont bother trying.. @Azukii think its fair to just zap this topic into a dark wormhole before it implodes. . a "fix/solution" has been posted which is pinned.

@DigiMax this can happen a lot, normally every time I log on and try connecting to a server. click ok and go back out to Main menu lobby (character/ account select) then log back in if you have to and connect in, should work. If you are having further issues not being able to connect then more information is required. you will need do the "normal" checks, 1) make sure your os is up to date, check your AV/AM security applications including OS firewall/defender is not blocking or limiting the game. 2) worth checking your internet connection is stable, consistent speeds/ping. especially over wireless. Dont try to play over VPN, and if trying to connect to EU from non eu countries will cause connection issues.

HI @rodrig0rm1 sorry to hear your having this issue.. Firstly sorry if this comes across as me picking holes in your message, I am just simply trying to understand and narrow possibilities. so here are some questions, but also some pointers to think about checking 1) so You downloaded APB, is this recently? or an older copy that you have opened and updated to current version? if this was an old version (more then a year or so) but has updated then i would think about the possibility of re-installing the game with the latest install file through steam. ¬> additionally remember to check for updates with Dx & Netframework4.8+ the latter should update through your os updates but some times gets missed. 2) Blue Screens of Death BSOD - these are tricky and yes this could be caused by applications and not system hardware but mostly result in hardware failure but not Faulty hardware, (in a nutshell = BSOD is an os safety trigger in the event of an application causing harm to hardware or hardware malfunction that can cause further damage, even a bad memory chip on ram can cause this in random intervals) so i would get my phone ready, and try to trace my steps to make this happen again and with the phone ready record your screen or take a pic, why? the BSOD will display a code, or if like you state you have the most recent OS it will present a QR code for you to scan with your phone camera. This will then present you with some sort of "idea" reference to the MS site regarding to what your BSOD is. (sometimes its a "very vague" description but points you in the direction you need to investigate. 3) abit more technical and you will need administrative rights to your OS, iv advised before in other threads is to view your "event viewer log (EVL) " , if you know the exact time and date this BSOD happened, you can load the EVL on the left side under Custom logs > Administrative logs = scroll to the time and date of your BSOD and look through for any "critical" events and anything that stands out as an issue, note that some events stem from a series or domino effect that can be up to 10/20 minutes prior. take your time to read through. also do not be alarmed if you see a lot of "caution" events some (most) you can ignore. 4) you stated that you monitored task manger and your ram never when above 5.5Gb , this i would imagen you mean as a total system usage? as the game its self in current state will never go above 3.0/3.2gb due to its build limits. BUT if you do have an issue like memory leak anything above will cause the game to crash out, so i would be very concerned if your game was going to 5.5gb. ¬> I would also take into account that your gpu is only a 2gb, which means it is having to share/divide load with your system ram, this is dependant on your motherboard configuration if this is set to do so. ¬> additionally , 1050 are not regarded as "medium/high end" gaming graphics cards, they are actually the low end, & can play some games but i would not expect to push any serious games, this would include trying apb at 1920x1080 60fps, i would advise trying the game at 1280x720 res in window mode with everything to low settings and then slowly up the detail, AA and Advanced settings may have to be off, Besides that i think from your update post you have a found a stable point work from so good luck.

@OhJosh Dinput8 within the SysWow is an essential system file, this is why you will be blocked from deleting it, how ever this could of become corrupt. another theory is that depending on your setup you might not have the required updates/support/access for the game 1. Ref => Microsoft OS Repair Scan 2. run Os updates, 3. Check for driver updates. 4. make sure your AV applications are not blocking game access to these files.

@adamegb this is an ongoing issue that has been side-lined due to the incoming engine update. however like so many of us, you wish to play the game now, there is options to try and find the optimal/stable state. Id imagen if you've spent that much on the game over the years then you are playing on a powerful up to date gaming rig, Unfortunately the games current state is not so stable with the very latest OS and Hardware, this is because the game is old. its 10+ years now. so I would advise you check the forum topic "RTX support", even if you are running an AMD/ATI rig there are some pointers in there that can help .

Hi @badass1234 , Hope your good. kick this off with a small bit of dribble. ,, iv been thinking and researching this issue and I have been meaning to jump on and try to help. so firstly I just want to help clarify AutoIt and the issues around it, with Battleeye and the global use of Autoit. its always easy to compare "anticheat" software/applications to others. each have there own strengths and weakness, some have a prime time and some fade. I could happily compare Ring0 and Battleeye against the Warzone one and Laugh A Lot! plus everyone has there own preferred opinion on which to use. from a business view Little Orbit may have (I am not speaking for them) chosen to stay with BE because of contract, cost, difficulty of changing or even simply they found it the best fit for the game which is normally the main decider. When it comes to detecting Applications there is a real grey area in how they operate, the amount of access and information that is gathered etc. some AC simply don't do enough. AutoIt although being a great application for those who wish to use it correctly or efficiently for projects, workflow. this application can also be abused for cheating, and more importantly Malware. if used for malware even the most "common" AM packages will not detect it. to my understanding Companies like Razor have moved away from using it but only in their most recent "application packages". Some data mining companies or companies that monitor your activities to use for marketing do also use "auto it/Runs" to do this. Now, even if you say open "task manger" and disable an application from starting on boot, or you even go into "processes" and close an application, you will never actually close the application or stop it from running, most malware or "safe" applications that require to autorun will have a safety trigger to detect when being stopped and "auto Run" . List of known "applications" that use Auto runs abusively is huge, Browser plugins can be infected , browser toolbars, download packages from unsecure websites where you think your downloading a wallpaper but you have to download it as a "zip" file. or even downloading a "download manager" to get that application off a dodgy site. these can all hold hidden autoruns. and I am sure non of that applies to you. Actions for you to try/take. This is at your own risk how ever ( I have to state that) 1. Download AVG + Malwarebytes, Run and update these, then power off the system unplug/disable your "connection" to your internet. power up and let your system stabilise with out being used, then load avg and run full scan , do the same for Malwarebytes afterwards. Not at the same time. once you have your results back either - or + and you have cleaned or happy with the results. reconnect your connection and run the scans again. What this is doing is creating a "safe" zone with in AVG and Malwarebytes, then once your connection is active any "application" that becomes active based on the connection will be check under a "live scan". Some "Malware" can be missed, and like iv referenced to, a lot of applications that autorun will auto re-start/run so the next step is to look into what is actually running in the background. 2. AutoRuns - by Microsoft (link here ) This sounds crazy to download an "autorun" application to combat "autoit". I would personally download the "run only" version of this application (run only versions do not install to your system like .exe versions) , again i would once downloaded disconnect your self from the net and load "autoruns", then scan your system. I STRONGLY advise you read up on there wicky. With in this application it will list all "automated applications". it is not for the faint hearted, before you begin disabling anything, i would take screen grabs of the list or applications you are not sure off. then like the scans, re-connect your self to the net and run "autoruns" again, to compare your scan, if you have any "auto runs" based on an active connection. Now, this is not to say you have any malware or dodgy applications, using "autoruns" will also allow you to check for razor(like) applications and be able to disable them , but some may cause unwanted effects elsewhere so be careful. once you have tweaked and think youve found the issue give the game a try. this will how ever be very "rinse repeat" good luck.

This is crazy. Episode 55 of this incredible uncut series!

Hello all. Hope you are all well. Been awhile since I posted any messages. apologies. Iv had an epic amount of personal chaos. but APB episodes are still rolling out ! Hope your all enjoying the series, Iv been putting in some new vibes with the dark synth music ... hope it adds to the vibes.

Hi Dev's Hope all is well. Appreciate your all working the update stuff. Last few weeks iv been noticing a steady decline in "hitting bullets" almost as if the server/ hit registry is hugely off. Il go back through the footage to find examples. Multiple times iv emptied a 32 bullet clip in a trouble maker at someone clearly visible that 25(ish) bullets have hit the body of the oppo, curser is red but with 3 or 4 hit markers appearing, given the range 1 - 2 meters, at least 25/27 of the bullets hit.. to add to this issue even the "tagger" over head marker is not being triggered when shooting players, Getting the Hit marker but no Yellow tag maker after multiple hits. This has been happening on my Criminal character on Financial District with various guns. I have swapped over to my Enforcer to test if its still happening. can only be server side? or other players bad connections ? Client side is 62fps, 16ms Server 33ms Latency 16 - 20 MS avg 18 Packet loss 0 No noticeable spikes (lag)

Hi @SkyFix Another question, Apologies I missed this off thinking you was solely referring to the game. , Is this an APB Reloaded Error or an Error Posted by BattleEye? I will list 2 sets of "possible" reasons/fixes for you for both situations. APB most common Errors due to Firewall/defender & AV software blocking game files / access to external / Access to memory or storage devices, MS NETFramework needs updating, MS Visual C++ Redistributable for either x86 or x64 (both if on x64) requires update or installation. MS DX package update or installation. Windows requires APB.exe and APBLauncher to me run in "administrative" compatibility . BattleEye common Errors due to Firewall/defender & AV software blocking game files / access to external / Access to memory or storage devices, APB BattleEye Corrupt files -> Fix/solution that has worked in the past, 1) Locate *DRIVE* \Steam\Steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries\ "Battleye" - Rename this with "BK" on the end,. (this will simply mean youv kept it as a backup. 2) Begin APB Launcher (through your installed choice ie Steam) and if not already verifying missing files click on "verify/repair" at the bottom. IF this does not fix your issue, 1) within DRIVE* \Steam\Steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries Locate "APB_BE.exe" and Move this into the previously renamed folder "Battleye BK" . 2) Begin APB Launcher (through your installed choice ie Steam) and if not already verifying missing files click on "verify/repair" at the bottom. IF this does not fix your issue , check your AV / AM & MS security applications again to make sure they are not blocking APB or Battleeye. if you have further issues get back to me. Note that even if you are updating your OS you may still require manually updating the extra MS features, if you do only get them from the MS site.

Hi @SkyFix , going to need more information then that. which district? what servers are you connecting too? what loader are you using, standard vanilla or ADV ? , do you load the game via steam or standalone?

Hi @TYRANSIS Hope your well. & thanks @Amayii Tyransis first of all.. Can you just go through the following.: Hi .. Appreciate that your having issues. the errors stated can be all related to one cause, or sometimes many, but for us to better help you we need to narrow down some information, so can you add some information regarding your system 1) PC Spec hardware - A) If Prebuild list its Manufacture & model Number + any hardware changes you have made. : Or B) If a custom build the Specs of your machine, as follows, Motherboard (Model): Processor (model): Memory (model + Capacity): Graphics Card (title + Model): Primary OS storage device (Type + model): Secondary if used for storing game files (type + Model) : Any peripherals items = Sound cards, capture cards, Operating system (type and version id) : 2) the run time environment , a) Was you playing the game with any applications recording/capturing or visual overlays for chat clients ? b) have you made or installed any new hardware to your compute since the game was installed ? c) Do you run any 3rd party Antivirus or Malware security applications that have updated since the last known working time the game ran ? d) do you run the game "vanilla" or via a modded launcher like "ADV"? Added Note : I can see your screen resolution and quality is lower then avg from the clip you've provided,. This error is normally associated with a few issues, Low Spec Graphics hardware / out of date Drivers / back end software support DirectX and other key OS features. fill out the above, In the mean time, Check your System drivers for updated versions, once iv reviewed your reply and if you've had any luck with drivers I can assist further.

There is many many reason why this might of happened. Game is being blocked by AV / AM / Windows firewall & defender, OR launcher has corrupted / unlinked. Also run environment (OS updates) Easiest is simply uninstall the game, restart your system, re-install game . If you installed it via steam then open up steam library and right click the game > manage > uninstall. If you installed directly from APB Launcher, then open Windows start menu > Type "add remove programs" and locate "APB Reloaded" > Uninstall . ¬> if you wish to install from Launcher File again, get the latest version from the site , do not use old ones. If you are still having this issue after a clean install of the game from the newest launcher , then I would definitely question your security applications or RE (OS updates,)

hi @DREEDGUG sorry for the late reply. Comp is good, Having the game installed on a secondary storage device, even if its SataIII HDD 7200 is fine, how i run it, more stable on an old disk than SSD. (my opinion.) So your log , unfortunate you cut it off at the "03:33:38 - Exit Game engine shut down" , the bit before this would be interesting to read, as it would / Should indicate what has caused this,. Rule of thumb when reading through or copying sections include upto 5 minutes prior to end log, as some issues can be a trigger that cascade to the error.

Hi @S1Y4H No, but many things can cause it to happen, Support will be able to view the log and assist.
