    Probably because it comes by default with certain graphics drivers :v (every AMD driver comes with the Radeon overlay since December 2017). But having such an overlay is nice because you can monitor plenty of things, and even adjust your display colors on the go.

    Crosshair overlay, not monitoring your GPU Temps and usage in an overlay.

    your argument here is it gives an advantage because people don't have access to it even though you can easily google overwolf gaming utility and download the app. 

     

    Now I'm not here to convince people to use an overlay. My argument is it doesn't give an advantage, increasing the player's accuracy with an overlay crosshair. 

    If an overlay doesnt give an advantage then why bother using it?

     

    The current purpose of using a crosshair overlay in APB is to keep focus on the center of your screen and crosshair in a firefight, thus improving accuracy and mouse placement.

     

    Simply being APB's crosshair is very bland and easy to lose focus on, not to mention it disappearing when sprinting or the misleading camera view vs actual crosshair placement.

     

    If there was crosshair customization for everyone ingame there would be no issues. Trying to say there is no advantage for example using an oscar sprint shooting with a center dot overlay is the same as someone who doesn't use it is ridiculous.

    yep...been praying for years for the new ""engine"" to also have better optimizations and can allow me to cap at 144 and not dip and lose half my fps in the center of waterfront

    What you mean thats a feature of waterfront 😅

    i have a 144hz monitor and if i max everything, even if it STILL WONT use all my 1080 power i will get around 70 fps...and lets not talk about waterfront.. 😞
    so minimum with bloom on is the best for me to try maintaining at 120fps. it sucks lol

    Any other 144hz users here?

    144Hz monitor is pointless atm because the game is locked to 121 fps.

     

    And the game is more CPU heavy than GPU, but with the Engine upgrade it would be hopefully more balanced out.

     

    But yes, i too use 144Hz monitor.

    As Lixil clarified, the player GM'S she will be selecting will NOT have the full-reign that previous GM'S had...

    They will basically act as the new SPCM (San Paro city Mentors).

     

     

    I wanted to throw in my two cents on a few members who would fit the position .

    -members with long-standing, clean records

    -who are and have been continually active for many many years

    -nonconfrontational, level-headed people

    -positive, helpful people

    Always available. Everyone knows Sadira. She is nice.

    Anyone else think of any people who would be particularly good for the position? (Don't nominate yourself.)

    Who are these people.

     

    Anyone with a high post count should become GM

    As above, my encounters with Remote Detonator is a rarity, athough it is fun to have it equipped and watch the rage flow. Regardless of using it or not but that just displays how its not a good mod.

     

    Car spawning removal would make for more interesting missions and team load outs would become more viable with other car mods in its place. I think this could only happen though if the missions got balanced a bit better as with the current missions some of them are a pain and you're spawning closer than you would be.

     

    Remove both, whats the worst that could happen.

    I get this a few times if I startup my PC and immediately launch APB.

     

    I found one of the Startup programs on my pc was causing the issue. Take a screenshot of all your processes in Task Manager when it occurs, and the toolbar on the bottom right with apps that run in the background (where you would find steam etc)

     

    Then its a process of elimination, you need to end it one at a time and try alt tabbing from APB each time until it stops, then you've found the problem.

     

    I get the same issue with Overwatch, the game launches but immediately minimizes to my desktop until i've closed down my processes that startup on boot.

     

    Also, running overlays on top of APB may also cause this.

     

    Also, update your graphics card to the latest drivers or rollbackup if this issue happened after updating.

    It somewhat already exists.

     

    Highlight their name on the scoreboard and click the toggle for "Ignore". Or use /ignore "name" and it will block their theme.

     

    But yes, a separate option to disable it would be handy in the Audio settings.

    well, shooting duaklwield is a movie shitthing, dualwielding is not proper way to shoot guns. What you see is just 2 people posing, for looking cool.  APB still had that attemp to look a bit like a more realistic (less arcadish) anarchistic city theme.

     

    ???

     

    All the character mod's available in the game disagrees with realism.
