The only way you can do well with the OBIR at closer range is to know how to use it. If you dont know how the gun works you wont do well at closer ranges. Thats where the skill gap comes into play between the few newbies who play and the vets who have been around since forever. On another note where do you get these new legendaries perm? The only way I knew how was JMBs and that was forever ago.

ESET Nod32 and it says it found a threat in a file SARD was trying to access and it blocked SARD from accessing said file

When is LO going to finally fix hitreg?

Basically as the title says. My anti virus is seeing SARD as a virus and is preventing it from working. Something changed since this latest SARD update to where its now being flagged as a potential threat. Can this be looked into?

Got to be honest here. Pretty mixed overall on this. To just release skins in armas that were limited time only at one point that you had to put effort into getting just feels like a slap in the face to those of us who put in the time to get them. They either should have been re released with the same requirements to earn them as the first time or not at all. Its a money grab by LO for new players and a slap in the face to the vets who keep the game going and earned them the hard way. To release a jumping sniper brings a whole slew of issues. Mainly that jump shooting back in the day was abused greatly as it gives an advantage to someone in jump motion vs someone moving slowly aiming down the sights. 2ndly it also gives cheaters another way to break the game as now they can aimbot jumpshoot. Back in the day it was not an intended part of the game and it was removed due to the unfair advantage it gave and the abuse it got from cheaters.

I am skeptical as to how effective this will be in improving matchmaking quality and in banning cheaters. To date nothing has worked and they have easily skirted any cheat detection. Heres to hoping this will actually do something but one big thing that needed addressing yesterday is hitreg. You cant balance weapons when they dont work properly to begin with and that should have happened first.

Exactly. Its harder to get green then gold and to dethreat that far requires dedicated match throwing. To dethreat that far is nothing short of ruining gameplay for others.

Your not looking hard enough or dont know everyone if you miss the bronzie and green threat vets who were once upon a time gold.

They get that when they constantly unban everyone?

Thats where your wrong. Most golds did it and to this day continue to do so. There are people who have been playing longer then I have who are bronze and green threat as we speak. This is by choice and they dont try to threat up, which means they are throwing games. Green threat doesnt exist in the game nobody is naturally that bad. Youve been here since 2019? Ive been playing since 2011 and didnt join the forum till 2014. Dethreating used to be awhole lot more blatent then it is now but it still goes on and LO doesnt enforce its own TOS so dethreating will continue.

All bad decisions by LO leadership. Instead of trying to do whats right they dont care are just seem to sit back and watch.

Back in like 2015 or 2016 this was tried by G1... With catastrophic results. This lead to the birth of dethreating as we know it and all those golds threw games to threat down so they could continue to stomp all over lower skilled, newbie and legit players. Dethreating has been a problem ever since and it has destroyed the threat and matchmaking systems that we have to the point where it needs a clean sheet redo. Threat segregation will not work unless the system is revamped to prevent it and LO starts caring enough to enforce TOS.

Eh. Steam charts seems to say otherwise. We had that influx back in may but that dwindled away already. No staff is proof that they dont care as if they did the staff would be in place to handle the cheaters and fix the game and for servers im sure there is some cost to that which has gone up with inflation over the last few years. I dont see the cash flow increasin with a decining playerbase to makeup for higher expenses.

I guarantee you LO doesnt make any profit off of APB. Anyone left who plays owns everything already.

LO has 0 transparancy to their anti cheat and action against cheaters. They prefer tolerating them so they dont have to do as much work. Till that changes we wont see any transparancy nor will we see stricter measures in place.

The proof really is in the pudding. When cheaters are streaming their cheats cause they know they wont be banned you have failed in your anti cheat and in your policies.

Anything being added to make it harder for cheaters to cheat?

LO cares. They just also have a high tolerance for hackers. So long as this is the case APB will fail.

Basically. LO has been trying the same thing over and over expecting different results. Fact is that the same thing has happened each time and LO fails to either care enough to crack down and do more or just tolerates hackers.

FailFight still failed more then is succeeded. It did more then any anti cheat Matt and LO have tried and retried but it still failed pretty badly as you still had plenty of hackers running around and not getting banned

So you guys have all of your eggs in one basket with the bottom cut out of it. Cheaters make up the majority of the in game population and evidence points to them getting past SARD. Your system works so well that cheaters stream APB on twitch and show their cheats and dont get banned. You will never curtail the cheating epidemic in this game so long as this light footed system remains in place.

You need to do more then just SARD. SARD hasnt worked well and there is no evidence of cheaters being banned. You need more then SARD alone to combat this but the biggest thing LO can do is adopt a 0 tolerance policy against cheaters and actually put effort into it. When you have cheaters actively streaming their cheats on Twitch and not being banned it shows LO isnt doing anything and the cheaters arent afraid and know they wont get banned.

Nobody wants to play a game full of cheaters that the parent company has a tolerance for and doesnt do anything about

Got to be honest and blunt here. You say LO and the GMs dont like them yet the actions of LO and the GMS are the exact opposite. GMs in game troll around and chat it up if they show up. Cheaters are the majority of the playerbase and LO doesnt add more anti cheat. Ever since punkbuster was removed theres only 1 anti cheat and it hasnt worked no matter the anti cheat software used. LO doesnt bother to actively monitor districts or add more anti cheat so there client side and server side. Cheaters stream their cheats on twitch openly and LO does nothing and in game reporting does nothing as its nothing more then a placebo. LO and GM actions show that there is a tolerance for cheaters and or that LO and GMs dont care that they cheat.

An idea here. Why dont you fix hitreg before you balance weapons. If hitreg worked these weapons would act differently.
