    I studied this question. In games that do not support it - nothing worked. (Overwatch, Apex Legends, Realm Royale, and moreeee)

    Ok, here's the difference and why you get black bars on other games; you can stretch to your hearts content, any game can be stretched, but newer games are designed for 16:9 resolutions and Apb was designed for 4:3. Will UE3.5 or UE4 change Apb to be designed for 16:9 ratios? Hopefully

    Can not, if it does not support the game. (Or you can, but with consequences, sacrificing the lack of a part of the interface, for example).
    Try to do this with Overwatch - you get the strips on top and bottom, and nothing else.

    I dont have Overwatch so I cannot test but it sounds like you dont have your display settings set up right if it isn't stretching, I can stretch my desktop right now and have everything wonky if I so please

    afaik they have to do it like that so that you can interact with the laptop as if its a contact (devildog, in this case)

     

    maybe on the new engine there would be a way around it but its not canon

    Twas a bit of a joke my good sir, it's still weird, sort of like 4th wall breaking to know there's a Tiny Dog that's under that box... then again there's friggen Elves. Are they real elves? Demented midgets masquerading as elves? It's... too much

    Legitimate concerns about support not doing their job efficiently (aka behind the scenes they simply aren't putting enough resources in); doubts about if LO can ever manage to bring this game to a 'good place' are fair worries, because of the history of this game is absolutely abysmal 

     

    but I agree that not enough positive things are said about what LO does right and is trying to do. It's a miracle that this game got a well... 3rd chance with a company that legitimately seems to care about this game

    My personal guess is this company will be the one manufacturing the car that was annouced to come after the growl

    I think you're thinking too small at least I hope this is something *bigger* than that

     

    I have a hunch. Remember how Haloween epidemic was 3 teams? 'RedHill acquires 3 local companies after successful funding round.' :thonk: This is related to RIOT I betcha, I honestly would be a lil dissapointed if I'm right because it doesn't make much sense.

    quit it with the nostalgic feel

    Nostalgia isn'treally the point; the point is in many cases games tend to add or change things and sometimes end up getting further and further away from the original 'feel' of a game. the song and 2D design go with the game's style much more. No one likes the current login, so instead of blasting off in a new direction they should go back to what they have that works, and was made by the original creators within the original vision of their product and improve upon that. I did say 'revamp' intentionally; I'm not asking for them to stick the old login back in and call it done. Redo the the login in the same style.

    I do see what Reloaded Productions was going for in their cheesy scene, they added in the cars, contacts etc that were added to the game but there are waaaaaaaay more clever ways to show off new content than to make a overly complicated, and frankly bad, login screen

    I love when I take 45 seconds to log into my character and then when I hit social I'm put in freecamera mode under that one statue. Odd lil tidbit; this uberlong loading seems to affect my main character much more than my alt, which worries me... slightly

     

     

    Edit What I mentioned must have been old news, because now I cant even log in

    mattscott has already stated he was looking into this several times iirc

     

    i dont expect anything until perhaps the final stages of the engine upgrade release process at the very least

    In the Kempington Q&A he did briefly mention it.

    Q: Will the original login screen, with previous music make a return?
    A: I actually had the track on loop from Youtube. I am a big fan of that screen. I would have to look at the music rights and see what we have currently. While we can’t truly guarantee getting the old music back, I’d love to see that screen with that music come back. I also think we don’t need a loading screen to a loading screen.
     

    But hey, sometimes things get forgotten about, so why not make a thread about this very important topic making sure to show the community's opinion on it? #makeAPBgreatagain

    I think it's known that the original menu music used in RTW and the early days of G1 are looked on more fondly than the current one; whether it be the somberness of the current track or simply rather cheesy static scenes set up. The 2D original menu was simple, and portrayed the atmosphere of the game better:

    Original song:

     

    Artist is Stuart Ross, his works are used still in the game; the loading screens and the character creator so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume this track's rights could be re-acquired even if somehow LO no longer has them

     

    This is my attempt to get help get this to happen, with the release of 3.5 it would be a great time to do some revamping things like the main menu and finally adding 'Little Orbit' to the splash screens #makeAPBgreatagain
