    So long as the community sticks around, and somebody's keeping the game servers working, this game's gonna stay alive. I don't really know what the situation is over on Jericho servers, but in Citadel there's still enough players around to have a good time. People have dedicated tons of time to this game, and I can see it regaining at least some popularity. There's still no other game like APB on the market. I feel like we might see a new surge of players if the final engine upgrade rolls out smoothly, and they start adding new content into the game.

    There are fundamental changes in RTX cards that APB was never meant to handle. The 64-bit approach Nvidia has taken with the architecture in these cards means that APB, being a 32-bit only game, will eventually crash when it tries to communicate with the GPU's memory.

    Ketog summarized everything we know about this :

    Since LO never gave an official statement on these crashes, here's a complete explanation of what is the issue:

     

    There is currently a big crash issue with the game that occurs on ALL Nvidia Turing cards that includes all cards from the GTX 16xx Series, and the RTX Series.

     

    Here are the 3 common issues that all have been experienced users of those Graphics cards, note that those crashes tend to happen on respawn/ right after a respawn:

     

    1: Game suddenly stops and gives you an Out of memory error.

         You can mitigate this issue by playing the game in the "Low" or "Minimal" preset, but that doesn't work for everyone, you will still crash at some point.

     

    2 :Game freezes when you respawn but you can still hear everything happening.

         You can minimise / maximise the game to fix the issue, or do control + alt + del  and click back on the game to unfreeze it.

     

    3: Game completely stops working on respawn and you get "APB Is not responding" OR The crash reporter pops up and shows you "Device lost" / "Result failed" in the log

         You can mitigate this issue by playing the game in the "Low" or "Minimal" preset, but that doesn't work for everyone, you will still crash at some point.

    All those issues are common to all Nvidia Turing cards, and are caused by their new driver architecture being based around 64 bit instructions.

    There is no way to fix these issues other than upgrading the game engine to natively support 64 bit instructions. (That bug is already fixed in the engine upgrade)

    Whatever kind of "FIX" you find will most of the time work only for you and no one else.

     

     

    A quick note that i can give, is that older drivers might be able to completely fix all those problems, i sadly do not know which which driver version.

     

    The occurrence of this bug varies heavily between users, some never had the issues while some crash 70% of the time on respawn, it is absolutely random and pretty much impossible to track down due to pc setups always being slightly different.

    The only real fix that is known to work for everyone is... well, the engine upgrade, pretty much we can't do anything other than wait.

    Oh it's so dramatic... please I wasn't bashing the beta read what I posted you blind fuck, I was merely stating it was unplayable for me due to the ping and game related problems like the spawns that kind of crap sorry I didn't elaborate on it and I'm sorry I offended you not..I also stated that I would of loved to play it and was looking forward to it but due to the time it's a miss for me and i'm gonna call it quits...because I'm burnt out at this point before your fingers start typing consider reading first..

    Edit: please downvote me I don't give to shits at all I feed on it 

    All of the problems you’ve mentioned either cannot be yet known (since no beta) or they’re non-issues you’ve roped yourself into. The rest of us are going to ignore your complaints and prepare for the beta, HYPE

    This is a problem.

     

    Another one is that there is not way for directly upgrade a customized car.

    a car with no mod slot should be able to go to 4xmod slot version.

     

    This, this, this! Having to redesign your favorite car each time you can afford the higher-tier version is pretty annoying, but it is even more so when the older versions take up your inventory space and you have nothing to do with them.

    Hey Matt, thank you very much for your response, i appreciated that.

     

    While i understand i need to say that they are facts i see right now since a long time, just that, im not assuming nothing, i just said "it seems", because the situation appear to be that, i honestly don't know at all what's happening behind the scenes and now thanks to you i do.

     

    So.. this is a secondary question.

    Even ARMAS Marketplace guys works on Engine Upgrade?

     

    It's okay for the #1 proprity which is the thing we alredy know, but are these going to be addressed when this priority will end?

     

    Again, thank you very much for your time.

    They have stated numerous times what their current focus was in nearly all other issues that have been pointed out to them. If the entire team is working on the engine upgrade, then all of the software engineers are busy on it and don't have time to fix something that, sure, is unfinished, but ultimately works. You can buy stuff on the marketplace, but you can't however play APB on Unreal 3.5 at the moment.

    Adding new content requires a lot less work than to fix things that already exist, and it pays the bills, hence why they still do it.

    You of all people should know that their announced roadmap was to get the engine upgrade out the door as fast as possible so they can try to bring the game back to life, and then to start fixing all the little things that are wrong, such as what you've pointed out in your OP. Be patient, point these things out when they'll have time to fix them, and you'll get what you want. I have my own fair share of little complaints that need fixing, but now is not the time to bother the staff with them. Now is the time to cheer Little Orbit on and patiently wait for them to ask us feedback on the open beta, when that happens.

    I really do not care when the models were created and for which engine, I've played around with them before and it worked and looked fine 🙂
    Making my own models would probably be a step too far experience wise.

    Since you'll be using this to make thumbnails, I can see the ripped model being fine as-is. You'll likely be okay, since I really doubt LO is out hunting down potential copyright claims at the moment...

    I was mentioning engine age to illustrate that these are at their core low-poly models with low-resolution textures, both of which are flaws that become pretty visible as soon as you crank the render resolution above 720p. The rig that we use for our characters, JenzAmaka's, is definitely a big help, but it's not exactly friendly either when you want to get some animation going... All problems which are solved by a custom model, or at the very least, model modification. If that works for you though, then all the better!

    You should be fine if you keep the use of it personal, or at the very least, credited and non-profit. Though I have to tell you, these game models were made to run in a 2006 game engine, not in a Pixar movie, and it'll show every step of the way trough your experiments in Blender.

    Realistically, you're far better off making your own model and textures from scratch (Using your character as reference) if you plan on doing anything serious.

    You're giving this word the power you desperately want taken away by actively trying to censor it. It is by rendering it common and vulgar that it loses it's power, singling it out makes it a bigger deal.

    Offensive words are like trolls. The only way they'll go away is to rise above and ignore them, otherwise they just grow stronger.

    I only started the game yesterday but I wonder now why I can't buy G1C items from other players against the game currency. It would be much more motivating if I could play these objects. Now if I want to have what in the shop what I like I have to resort to my money bag?  

    If you're talking about guns, legendaries are sold on the marketplace by players for ingame currency, which seems to be what you're describing. Kitted cars and clothes can be found sold by other players too, and you can unlock Armas stuff for free (using JT's) at the Joker ticket place in social.

    They did a graphics update back then and it Cucked a lot of older PC's, and even beastly computers still have trouble especially if using AMD.

     

    I suggest you use a i7 or higher with 16 gigs of ram, and a GTX series GPU, don't bother with RTX GPU's because currently the game crashes with them.

    I'm not sure that's very accurate, I use an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with 16 GiB of RAM, paired with an AMD RX 580, and the current game runs perfectly fine at a full 100 FPS. The only thing that's broken is ambient occlusion.

    Don't misunderstand me, the game is definitely in a very poor state performance-wise, but I think both manufacturers suffer the same issues. In fact, I've only ever experienced micro stutters on Intel hardware, and the game ran fine on a terrible, terrible FX-4100.

    As simple as that. I made a first payment which went trough and allowed me to buy some stuff, so I paid an extra 20$, the payment went trough on PayPal, and the website just gave me an error and no credits. I realize everything is kind of a mess at the moment, but you know, I can't undo what I've done now.
