Update with a temporary fix from Kyouki on the official Discord: Please fix it permanently.

So as most of us I have authenticator enabled and whenever I log in/change characters I'm being asked to ENTER THE VERIFICATION CODE AGAIN AND AGAIN. Even if I press "Remember me" it keeps asking me endlessly. I didn't update Windows, I didn't just reinstall the game, I didn't change anything on my PC. Game was installed since months ago and I was logged in since then, but now whenever I log in I get this issue and it's driving me insane. Thus, I have a permanent trade ban because I am always seen as logging in from a "new place". What is going on and how do I fix it? Things I have checked/tried: - My IP is the same, I have a static IP and I don't have this issue in any other game/website. I never had IP issues where I was detected from multiple IPs either. - I have tried repairing the game, didn't work. - Game is already perfectly allowed to go through firewall.

I swear I'm troubleshooting this game more than playing it at this point. I'll try Kyouki's steps and come back with results. Edit: Well it worked. Go to any BattlEye folder and uninstall BattlEye using Uninstall_BattlEye.bat, then reinstall APB. I did it using a different BE uninstaller, from the Rainbow Six folder, since I already had APB uninstalled, and it seems to be working so far. Edit2: Thanks Kyouki for the method!

Thanks for the link but it doesn't even contain the "data corrupt" error I'm getting. I tried searching the forums already. I tried uninstalling it but couldn't find a place to do so. I also play Rainbow Six and some other games running Battle Eye and they seem to work flawlessly. I'll try clearing all the services, files and whatever, but it's really absurd that I must go through this just because of how this game decided to stop working with Battleye randomly. And yes, don't tell me that I and NoOxygen and probably countless others just started having the same BattleEye error at the same time in the same day. There's nothing "individual" about this issue and there's nothing I should fix since the issue doesn't come from my end...

Well that link says that the error means that BattlEye detects that there's something wrong with the game files and that the game must be reinstalled again. I JUST DID. Same stupid error. I haven't installed nor did anything to the game or my computer since yesterday. Literally played the game, logged off, turned off the PC, and today after turning on the PC, started the game again and I get this error?!?!

Same here. Tried repairing the game already. Uninstalled Battleye, cleaned Battleye logs as well. For some reason I see it's an issue with some other games as well including PUBG. What gives?

Has he? I would guess it should be considering it's just a config file. That's the only thing allowing me to play and I'll be frank and say it doesn't really help me much in terms of giving gameplay advantages. I had 100+ fps without it as well and the lack of shadows and other stuff is worse for me.

It obviously depends on the situation, but it's either Obeya CR762/Colby, N-Tec 5 or 7/Colby or OCA/RSA. That's what will get you the most these days. Imo, the N-TEC is too much compared to other ARs and dominates its "niche" it can even be called that since it's an all-rounder that's extremely good at everything, but that's the biggest reason it's so hard to balance it, I would guess.

Hey! Thanks for this! Wanted to ask, will we get a february extension as well, considering the fact that premium time has been removed from ARMAS for the time being?

@Sgt Drayke you should do more testing in different days, not just those 5 hours. For some reason sometimes it's prone to crash and sometimes it isn't, not sure why. I had days where I never crashed too, without doing absolutely anything.

I managed to fix mine by downloading and using a really low graphics quality config file. You can find it here, it's the "NEW" one: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ccux5m0je7qsrlk/Flaws_Config_V12.1.zip/file I've been using this for 2 days now, probably spawned for at least 70-80 times on Financial with it and I haven't crashed yet. Hopefully it helps others suffering from this issue as well.

It could possibly go away if anyone would take a quick look at the issue. Blaming new GPU architecture for the game not being optimized for them isn't a solution.

Already tried running it in compatibility for Windows 7. The game completely freezes, with no errors this time whatsoever, when I respawn. Happened the first time I respawned so didn't do further testing.

Vertexes. That's where it goes bad. As I said I can play fightclub for days, I think I respawned at least 200 times in the last few days, on both fightclubs. Also Waterfront crashes more rarely for me. Once every 10-20 respawns. Financial I can't even respawn 3 times without a crash. There's something wrong with the game. Not with me, not with anyone, not with GPUs. I mean, GPUs might contribute to this. Maybe vertex fails can only happen on Ampere/Turing GPUs, but it's certainly not BECAUSE of the GPUs, for Christ's sake. It's just that NOBODY looked into these vertex failures on these new GPUs. Hence why some districts, like fightclubs, are working, and some aren't. @Sgt Drayke - here's a pastebin of the last few seconds of one of the crashes: https://pastebin.pl/view/6459466c

Can we get some help regarding the crashes? At least one eye from one backend dev. One hour to look into it. That's all. It's a pressing issue for many of us that can't play because of the D3DEVICE LOST error (crash at respawn).

Yeah man, sure thong. Here it is. https://we.tl/t-3FGuiMpMPL Merged. m_VertexBuffer->Lock(m_nNextVertexData, Size, &pData, VertexLockFlags) failed at Src\D3D9DrawPrimitiveUPWrapper.cpp:293 with error D3DERR_DEVICELOST I just keep crashing. What's even more funny is that this SAME error was present in 2012 as well. Was it caused by future Turing and Ampere back then as well? Maybe we can somehow sort out what's wrong. I know what Matt said, but it might be something else... The game runs fine for some running these GPUs as well as only happening on respawn. Surely that's odd as hell and not caused by some GPU not running 32bit whatevers. Honestly...

Why do I NEVER, and I mean *never* crash in any fightclubs. Only place I ever crash is mission districts, and mostly in Financial. Waterfront rarely crashes.

Well, I could definitely play for a while with my graphics on low and windowed, lower res. Not sure if it has anything to do but it went better. Eventually I did crash, not sure if the frequency is impacted by this but yeah. Reinstalling drivers, DX and NetFramework obviously had no impact since other games work just fine, but it was worth a try so thanks.

I'm running into the same issues on an RTX 2070 Super. I just applied similar settings to yours, Sarge, and will come back with results. Edit: Nope, the first mission I did, here it is: m_VertexBuffer->Lock(m_nNextVertexData, Size, &pData, VertexLockFlags) failed at Src\D3D9DrawPrimitiveUPWrapper.cpp:293 with error D3DERR_DEVICELOST History: 00:32:13 - Log: Log file closed, 20/01/21 02:32:13

Heya, with the sale going on I ran into a small issue and I'd love some answers from other players that currently have character-bound weapons on their accounts. I know that we can purchase upgrades from character-bound weapons to account-wide ones, but I'm curious about two things: 1) What is the price of said upgrade? Is it the difference between the 2 prices? i.e char-bound costs 1500g1c, acc-wide 2000g1c resulting the upgrade price costing 500g1c? 2) Does it get affected by sales? The gun prices above are affected by the sale, they usually cost 3000/4000g1c respectively which would result the upgrade price = 1000g1c. Does this upgrade also get discounted when sales pop up? Thanks a bunch! Edit: Anaiis helped me out in-game and to answer my questions to other people maybe searching for this at a later date like I searched before making this thread: 1) If weapon costs 3500/4000 undiscounted, the difference will be 575. So the difference + a bit extra. 2) No, it does not get affected by sales. Which is a complete bummer for me. The 3500/4000 gun would be 1750/2000 now with the 50% discount. You'd still have to currently pay 575g1c even with the sale going on.
