    Having said that, there are some amazing players in the game who have spent years to master very difficult skills. They know the guns and their various parameters. They know the maps and where people tend to go. They know how to use APB's 3rd person camera to attack behind them which can look like a snap. My point is that to the average FPS player, these players can look like cheating. But APB is not an FPS. We need to make sure we don't punish good players.

    @MattScott, what you say is true but also keep in mind when you're analyzing the data that 2 major cheat providing websites already have a cheat up and running (last weekend) with a BE bypass and I've also seen private footage of 1 private cheat already. Experienced cheaters also know how to play the camera, have map knowledge and not to mention the environment. It's not the first time that data is analyzed based on cheaters wityhout the AC knowing this (hello FF). This manipulates the threshold in a negative way and is hardly reducing the expert closet cheaters and that puts us back to square one.

     

    Any word on the GM Volunteer Program progress? Moving to second gear would be nice and would definitely help in catching those pesky closets.

    Hi there,

     

    Fixing threat is in our roadmap, and it’s one of the highest priorities.

     

    However it’s a bit more complex than Anti-cheat, so we took care of BattlEye first. The last time G1 tried to fix threat, a significant portion of the population left, so we want to come up with the right solution that actually fixes the problem without alienating everyone.

     

    Thanks,

    Matt

    You're right, when DT'ing becomes punishable people will leave. I've seen it in the past and their arguements where kind of valid: 'I'm not going to play vs cheaters'. Now that BE is active the amount of cheaters will be reduced (at least for now) so DT'ing becomes less important. The only reason they might have now for DT'ing is that they do not want to lose misions and I'm pretty sure it's a large select group of players who still do this. The way I see it is that the GM Volunteer Program might help in this case, spectators should have a LO GM on speed dial so the DT'ers can be kicked from the district, forcing them to join a silver/gold district. I think this should work as a temp solution.

    So @MattScott, as you can see this is a big deal to the community. To me what only matters is the auto-sprint, it's pretty annoying to keep a sprint button pressed all the time. Almost nobody walks in APB, they just srpint. Can you make an official statement (and make it a sticky) about the auto-sprint and the mousefix please?

    Getting this message when I try to boot up the game: 

    [INFO] Blocked loading of file: "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\AlienFX.DeviceDiscovery\v4.0_4.0.49.0__bebb3c8816410241\AlienFX.DeviceDiscovery.dll".

     

    I've got:

    • Genuine Windows 10, fully updated
    • Latest framework installed
    • Anti Virus disabled (when playing)

     

    Any suggestions why it's not working?

    i have 2 monitors, but my mouse is moving from monitors, so if i click on second monitor my game will minimalize

    Try running the game in full screen windowed mode, this works perfect for me.

    But the most important part if you want to help the 8-10% (males. 1 of 200 in women) of people who are color blind is to make the actual nametag colors changable

    Very good point, this will definitely help.

    This would be bad, you're basicly blocking out players that might want to play with their European friends. If 'foreign' chat is really a problem to some people then there's always the option to turn off chat or to block the person. Besides that, if people where a little less toxic then chat wouldn't be spammed to begin with. I see a lot of differend languages in chat every day and I do not have a problem with that, I simply ignore (as in not read) the district chat written in a language I do not master.

    Being able to spectate specific player freely would be missused.

    I'm a GM in multiple games and I'm allowed to spectate, the amount of cheaters drop massively this way. It comes down to picking the right experienced GM's with spectate powers and have them sign a contract. It's really that simple and take my word for it, it works like a charm.

    Hello everyone!

     

    Tomorrow at 3 PM (PT time zone). We will be playing APB on NA server. If players wish to join us they will be able to do missions with us.

    Playing with the community is a huge step forward and is highly appriciated. I can only asume that you'll do this on the Citadel/Nekrova servers as well in the future. Hopefully we'll have a game then, I'll even let you drive my Macchina Calabria 527 custom paint 🙂

    Even if it is, players caught know they will get their accounts back with BE. Might as well go full blatant til then.

    Truthfully, I've seen quite a few of those lately. It varies from the regular rage hacker to the Silver player who 'developed' a massive skill increase all of a sudden. I think I'll start writing down some names and watch them closely when BE goes live.
