Not telling you to use x y or z, but just you having that overlay on the top right might be enough to displease SARD, try running the game from a clean state as much as you can, and slowly add things you use to see which one SARD doesn't like.

As schizo as that sounds, i'd think yes but for UnitGame specifically, since the IP acquisition of APB rights absolutely nothing happened, and their website doesn't show anything relevant, you'd think after pouring money in a project like this, they'd do something with it, as for LO, i don't think they are.

Annd it's gone, SARD Enabled the Kernel component and thus, linux compatibility is gone until official SARD support.

Quick video for those wondering " is it that hard to run apb on linux ? " TLDR: No, you've just gotta be willing to press buttons that you've never pressed before

Update for all Linux players not in the discord, a member of the discord pushed an APB specific that includes DXVK_CONFIG="d3d9.cachedDynamicBuffers = True" into latest GE-Proton 12: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/4226 If you play APB on linux, depending on your hardware configuration, they will basically negate all stutters that happened when vehicle were being shot. That tweak will now basically be included in newer DXVK versions and up. At this point it makes APB on linux run equal or better than windows

Yes, SARD enabled Linux support since the 21/08/2024 without notice, they announced Steamdeck Support at Gamescom (as per a SARD representative) but there was no official public statement on Proton/Linux Support, and hasn't been any so far as well

Just let them do whatever and don't react to it. No way to block said player completely, you're on the internet so you have to expect these kinds of things

If i remember correctly @MattScott mentioned that it's currently limited by the database APB currently uses which is super outdated, modern DB's are much more efficient at storing data and have ways to trim it periodically, i think he mentioned it a couple of times on devstreams

These aren't things that you will see your average game company CEO say, props for the honesty Matt Take note guys, because this is words you get from a CEO with good intentions, APB has been misshandled since it's creation, and so far Matt is the only CEO with the guts to communicate the good and the bad, LO could ditch APB at any point, but it's pretty clear they're gonna keep trying, and be thankful for that.

Everything is possible, but that's only in theory it wasn't reasonable for LO to keep console running because the codebase is just fundamentally broken, but also vastly different LO isn't a multibillion game company with a team or 100 developers solely for APB

@mojical Ended up as the technical winner, however every single following score up to @owzzy ended up denying the prize, so @Yeedman gets the final prize ! Thanks everyone for participating, honestly this was both a low profile and a high profile event in some ways, it was pretty fun! Who knew there would be so many Linux users in here, and who knew you could almost reach 3000 FPS in APB talk about an exeperience!

The event is now ENDED, i'll announce the prize winner, later today!

Here is the current state of the leaderboard: @mojical is still in first, however, all of the current top participants are planning on not taking the prize, meaning that Sheeno (sorry i don't know your forum name!) is in the winning position currently. Note that the "Prize" box is only a public show for if the winner is planning to take the reward or not as an indication for you if it's worth competing against that player or not, once the event ends i will still ask the 1st place if they want the price, and move on to the second if they say no, until i find someone that says yes. Again, it is only an indication, and not a set decision. Going by the assumption that none of the winners change their minds, that means beating Sheeno's score would currently get you the end prize ! Happy tweaking !

Medek donated 69 APB$ so the prize is now 1 000 069$ (nice) As for anyone reading this, know that while most of the top leaderboard is at super high FPS, a lot of them refuse to take the reward, so the current runner up for the reward is @Frosi while @mojical is the current technical winner. And believe me when i say a mid/high end PC CAN absolutely reach those framerates without being on linux. Do not loose hope, there is an entire week left before the end of the contest !

A legendary was added to the prize thanks to Speras on Citadel
