Ah sure it'll be grand like. They won't cheat again. (Or more hopefully BattleEye will 86 them quickly and their fantasy about being unfairly banned will be shattered in front of everyone)

There are guides and stuff worth retrieving from. Plus the stuff about exporting 3D models, Jenz's huge render, etc. You're not obliged to retrieve negative things if you don't want to. Like for example a guy posting a vid of people he played against that thought were cheating, whilst clearly cheating himself.

If I remember the forum chatter correctly, they changed it so that something to do with loading in other players' customisations (possibly the whole lot, but I'm not sure) used Hard Drive space when it previously had used RAM. That slowed down things for most of players, but those with APB on an SSD would feel it less.

Tbf, my PC wasn't a top of the range model when built and I would have replaced this year except I went and bought a house and consequently have no money. But still, the performance deterioration is real. And some issues seem to be server side, so even brute forcing with a very high single thread performance i7 or Ryzen has its limits. I wonder would my old Core Duo that I played APB on when it first came out still run it at all...

Could we not resort to blaming people's hardware when it's well known that APB's performance got worse on a patch on patch basis (back when there was patches)? My current PC is 3 and a half years old. When it was new I had no stuttering on the standard launcher. Then I got some stuttering after about a year. After about a year and a half, I switched to the Advanced Launcher and eliminated stuttering with some tweaks to texture detail. Now I'm stuttering even with Advanced Launcher. My PC is not chocked with spyware, and my performance on other games has been consistent.

They said it on the old forum post announcing the new Community Manager, iirc.

Tbf, I'm at the point of stuttering with it unless I make the game look like the Build Engine (which I don't want to do), so it probably won't make a massive difference. I want to hear what he said about undoing FF bans.

Yeah, I picked that up with my edit.

"Please don't use Advanced Launcher for the time being in case it upsets out cheat detection" That... might be a problem. (TBF, I think it's more a PSA style warning that it might accidentally get you in trouble more than anything else, but still... might be a problem)

Where have you been since the 10th of May?

It's okay Ray, we can repost the vids where you used your triggerbot. Has said URL been revealed yet? Can't find it, but that could just me being dumb.
