[RECENT APB BANS]

Hello,

I appreciate your message regarding the recent bans in the game. It's essential to address these concerns with a focus on the principles of fair play and transparency.

 

First and foremost, it's important to clarify that, as with any online game, the developers and the LO team are not obligated to provide individual attention or statements to banned players. This principle applies to all players, including those with a history of cheating. Just as any other banned cheater is not entitled to personal communication or special consideration, the same standard applies here.

 

Cheating in online games fundamentally undermines the integrity of the gaming experience for everyone involved. Therefore, it's crucial to view the issue through this lens and recognize that those who have engaged in cheating activities have, in the past, disrupted the gameplay experience for others. Moreover, it's important to consider the consequences of association with cheaters. Engaging with cheaters or individuals who associate with cheaters can cast doubt on the legitimacy of any complaints or concerns regarding bans. The gaming community values fair competition, and actions surrounding cheating can significantly impact one's standing in the community.

 

When assessing the validity of claims, it's important to consider the context of past bans. Actions have consequences, and those who have previously violated the rules of fair play naturally face skepticism when raising concerns about bans. The gaming community relies on anti-cheat systems to maintain a level playing field, and the history of a player can be a significant factor in assessing the legitimacy of their claims.

 

Lastly, it's worth noting that the anti-cheat system, in this case, EAC, is known for its reliability in targeting actual cheaters while minimizing false positives. EAC operates with caution, focusing solely on cheating-related activities and aiming to ensure fairness in the game. This reputation for accuracy should be considered when evaluating the legitimacy of ban-related concerns.

 

In conclusion, the principles of fairness and integrity are paramount in the gaming community. Banned players, especially those associated with cheating, are not entitled to special treatment or personal communication from developers. It's crucial to maintain a fair and respectful gaming environment for all players, and actions related to cheating should be viewed in that context.

 

Thank you for bringing up this matter, and I hope that it helps to clarify the situation.

 

Best regards,

Didn't know you were an EAC specialist how or how ban policies work. Funny how voerman makes the post about darleenko but yet the 8bit group browse the forum like theres no tomorrow. You guys got a weird obsession. 

 

[Mouse Acceleration/Dampening Fix]

Applying the above changes are immediately apparent to mouse input. Some may be duds but there is a definite difference before and after.

[Mouse Acceleration/Dampening Fix]

Indeed going by what Androvald tested the issue lies with one frame thread lag and capturing unprocessed inputs. Disable both in all instances and you should be good to go.

[Mouse Acceleration/Dampening Fix]

For posterity dreamss, later on in the thread, provided the following alternative ini edits to disable mouse smoothing/acceleration:

 

is in APBGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
 
+Bindings=(Name="LookUp",Command="Axis aLookUp   AbsoluteAxis=0")
+Bindings=(Name="GBA_TurnLeft",Command="Axis aBaseX  AbsoluteAxis=0")
+Bindings=(name="LookDown",Command="Axis aLookUp   AbsoluteAxis=0")
+Bindings=(name="GBA_TurnRight",Command="Axis aBaseX   AbsoluteAxis=0")
+Bindings=(Name="MouseX",Command="Count bXAxis | Axis aMouseX")
+Bindings=(Name="MouseY",Command="Count bYAxis | Axis aMouseY")
 
 in APBGame\Config\APBUI.ini
 
bCaptureUnprocessedInput=False
 
in APBGame\Config\APBEngine.ini and  APBGame\Config\APBCompat.ini and  \APBGame\Config\APBCompat_Dev.ini
 
OneFrameThreadLag=False

 

I can confirm that only these changes are the only ones that seem to disable mouse smoothing for me. Arvie's linked in the OP do nothing for me.

[ARMAS Trial Durations]

Definitely 3 hours. A F2P player will be able to trial a gun for the whole evening to see if they like it. 30 minutes is not enough to make an opinion.
