you already said you were gonna do this you didn’t, this thread is exhibit A

that’s not how most anticheats work at all, but okay

that’s a very stupid black and white view, anticheats aren’t all or nothing

that’s hot :^)

seems like it was mostly backend stuff then? if they’d listed out a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo we’d just have “LO wHy iS tHiS a PaTcH” threads from other nerds

what about sign language?

genuine question, why? regardless of the “classic” apb stylistic art direction, the game itself is dated and it very much looks it and while the engine upgrade might bring the gfx into this decade, the unreal 3.5 version is from 2013 - during a period (that’s still continuing imo) where gfx are getting almost exponentially better with every year/release, i think the engine upgrade will be visually closer to 2006 apb than 2019 anything and all that aside, do you really care what the game looks like if it (still) doesn’t run correctly?

yeah yeah we get that you want to sit on your high horse and laugh as people complain about cheaters after orbit unbanned everyone, because you only see the world in black and white

depends on what constitutes suspicion and how long investigation takes while it might sound great to say you’d put up with gaming interruptions to better fight cheating, i doubt the general majority would enjoy being booted offline on “suspicion” of cheating - no matter how quick

if all you wanted was an answer that doesn’t contradict your echo chamber, you should have just said that in the first place

not really sure what screenshots would prove tbh, we got quite a few screenshots of the engine upgrade from g1 and look at where we are with them now a list of performance statistics or even a raw, unedited video of someone driving around with /fps open would be far more beneficial for the community to see

similar to the giant red “forum rules” banner?

perhaps now that ff is no longer in use @MattScott can give us a few more details on how exactly he was falsely banned?

“a triggerbot is just an aid”

look at detective pikachu over here

this stuff is known because this was all explained when the unbans were happening? any ff ban without documentation (re: evidence) was reversed, because orbit found both significant flaws in the way ff was analyzing “cheaters” and significant misuse of ff by g1 staff you of all people should be on board with this, ive seen you post several suggestions on how to improve the game for new players - arguably step one is “don’t falsely ban new players”

apparently they buy a lot of social billboards these days gotta win somewhere i guess :^)

i think you might be the first person to quote scripture on the apb forums, at least unironically wild

yeah i worded it poorly it’s not like veterans could just vanish in a proof of smoke and apb would continue just fine, but they (arguably) aren’t where the focus should be at this point

what if the staff cheat too

i don’t really want to defend riot but old players really don’t mean much imo old players are a finite money pool that will only shrink with time, and that’s on top of a small number anyway - apb just wasn’t ever a popular game the 800 or so veterans left are potentially irrelevant compared to potentially infinite new players, although in reality it won’t be so clear cut

unless you want access to the first new content releases for apb in months :^)

that seems a little too optimistic tbh

now that’s what i call a hot take
