Looking at twitch streams lately, apparently anything goes by these days. There are things now widely used that were shunned in the not-too recent past. I wish people could enjoy the game with some degree of gfx and not have to suffer shit graphics if they want to do any form of competitive-ish gaming.

If only way you can enjoy this shit is playing with clay figure graphics, maybe you shouldn't play this shit at all...

So we need to get rid of the last company on earth that is crazy enough to funnel some funds to this shitshow? OR: How about you find some more productive hobbies to waste your time on? APB has been a shitshow for ages, and thinking it would suddenly change or not be a shitshow is self-deception of the worst level.

Not having me even on shit tier is a sign of failure.

Listed bits remind me of my old setup. It ran semi-stable 60+ with certain settings. Slowly it kept losing performance and ended up running around 45 fps. Then I built new setup, and it ran 100+ fps "stable" without clay figure graphics. Now this very same setup runs barely at 60 fps again, with non-clay-figure settings. Sometimes little higher, can go up to very unstable 80+ fps at times on empty-ish district. Should check in one day to see if I get even that anymore.

Can we turn time back 10 years and not f' up everything on that attempt?

The latest engine update beta I tested had abysmal performance. It literally ran like s**t. That said, the live client performance is slowly getting up par with that beta, and it runs like garbage too. I have no clue what sort of nuclear pc's people who still keep playing regularly have (or if they just play with clay figure graphics and 1024 x whatever resolution), but even the live has been unenjoyable for me for quite a while now, as it runs like pile of garbage rolling downhill.

Has someone tried to use it for something else than griefing? My experience with it has always been someone just blasting everyone around him/her with massive audio overload with like 200%+ volume and bad taste in music.

If it's anything like the betas we've recently had, there'll be literally NOBODY around. So you can claim victory in your heart by the fact that you wouldn't get an opposed mission in the first place. EDIT: If someone missed the joke here, that poor soul hasn't tried the engine upgrade betas... The performance is beyond horrible. It's marginal at best, and this is with best rigs available today. I'd be perfectly happy with somewhat stable 60fps... Or even less, if it just were even remotely stable for crying out loud.

See you at the next event maybe. This must be the record for me, to play the least amount of apb halloween event ever. It's not like I'd be getting any enoyment from the "run of the mill - missions". Not even after all the "tweaks" to the meta. It's still shit if you prefer to go around solo. And while the horseman event districts boogaloo is the best thing since frozen pizza, it's still flawed.

Tryhard is someone who no matter the game, no matter the situation, will always go "all-in". I rarely "push" myself to the limit, because I get enough of that shit at work. When I'm at home I play games for fun, and I rather do things for "shits' n' giggles" than go all out with whatever "skill" I may have in the game in question.

That is obviously just to show the equipment without typing everything by hand. Can't remember what version number i run at the moment, but it's something from last 180 days. To whom it may concern... https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V10/display.php?id=131227211645

I'm sorry to inform, but it runs like garbage. If you put any of your settings towards allowing you to enjoy other people's character and car designs, the performance is shit, or worse. It is so much worse than live, that I can't fathom at this point whether or not engine upgrade is worth the time spent. I really really hope it is, but at this point it just doesn't show up to be.

I can't fathom how this can run worse than live, given that the engine upgrade must give access to plenty of areas where performance increases can be achieved. Yet it runs like a turd unless you tone it down to clay figure graphics. Way worse than current live, at least on my setup (https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V9/display.php?id=92773753464) It is just curious how it can run so bad even with low settins when enemies at 90m don't draw at all, except their gun.

It's not server fps people complain however, or is it? It's just that the game runs like a pile of garbage. You're lucky to get occasional 60 fps on any setting with a rig that used to be able to run apb at 100+ fps 5 years back in time... And when it doesn't run at any stable fps at all, it makes the controls and thus the game itself feel inconsistent and horrible.
