Don't try and sugar-coat it, shadowbanning is wrong no matter how you put it. Either put an Error Code at log-in, or don't do anything at all.

It is extremely unprofessional to restrict a player without telling them that they are being restricted. An Error Code at log-in (telling them they can only play Asylum for, let's say 30 days) would create a lot less confusion. The online shadowban-culture needs to be stopped, it's a big enough problem as it is. We don't need good-old games like APB following suit... And no, I don't give a rats patootie if Little Orbit disagrees with me here, as long as I know that I'm right.

Maybe this is good news for us...

I have the same issue. First I received an "Error 9" after restarting my game... And now I've been stuck on "Error 10004" for over an hour after that...

Here's another really bad issue with GFAC that needs to be addressed asap: Whenever you exit APB there is a lot of mouselag on the Windows Desktop that starts right after apb.exe has closed itself down (this mouselag only happens while the GFAC process is trying to close down). The mouse cursor will freeze completely, and won't let you move it at all for a few seconds whenever this happens. Sometimes the mouse cursor even get stuck permanently after quitting the game, requiring you to restart your whole computer (unplugging the mouse or trying a different USB port does not help, nor does connecting a different mouse).

There is a shit ton of mouselag whenever the process for GFAC shuts down right after quitting the game, the mouse cursor also freezes up and will not move for a few seconds when this happens. Today the mouse cursor even got stuck permanently after quitting the game, and I was forced to restart my computer. This is completely unacceptable and needs to be fixed right away as it's a VERY severe issue with GFAC.

The game is on Steam, and that is also where 99.99% of the players get the game from when they download it. It would only make sense to communicate outages and other issues with the game on the Steam Forums, most people have no idea about these Gamersfirst forums (and even less so, their Discord). Steam is not some 3rd party platform, it's literally the main way for people to play the game. To leave out the main platform in which people acquire the game is just silly.

Could you please start using the Steam Forums instead from now on? I'm tired of coming here just to find out what's going on with APB. You guys don't even read the Steam forums which is very sickening to notice (especially for a game that is on Steam). Other games actually use the Steam forums for announcements and whatnot (and so should APB). Steam should really be your main way of communicating with the player base.

The login-issues are even worse now

No, this happened on Windows 10 too.

Repair did not fix the issue. But the issue has resolved itself now (since the APB Launcher itself was Updated)

Wasn't the beta supposed to be up by now? Can't log in.

Bad timing for a network outtage. Now people won't be able to finish up the Halloween event before it ends tomorrow.

Fair enough. However, it ain't much better during Peak-times either, as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/fUMxvo0 Now we even got two Bronze Districts, with a decent amount of players in it, (but the Districts for Silver/Golds are still pretty much empty). People who DT on purpose can actually pick whether they want to play Financial, or Waterfront during peak hours, the rest of us can't. (There's some people in Fight Club, but meh). And that's at 6:35 PM in the time zone of the server (Dallas).

Sure, some players would quit/rage quit because they lost a match, but that's like every game ever made (and not unique to APB). It is however, true that a lot of players are leaving APB because they are unable to find a match, so they get bored and leave, which is very understandable. The threat segregation is also being abused by players who purposely DT so that they can go to Bronze, which kind of defeats the purpose of having the segregation (this wasn't really much of an issue before segregation). @Amayii Thank you for moving it to the correct section.
