I am just gonna say thanks to Matt Scott and the rest of the team for everything really. I know it ain't easy.

ok it might be because you either don't have ssd, not win 10,or just have hardware that doesn't need it. The other part was indexing service. just google how to turn off windows indexing. I don't want post links I don't trust on here. Couldnt find one from ms site directly. Also check your usage cause at rest you shouldn't be more than 5 or 8 percent cpu usage. If you are something else going on.

Alright so too much stuff to read. lol I did wanna chime in though. Up until a few months ago I had terrible fps drops after 20 mins and static in apb for couple years. I had to actually close game and restart it to keep playing. It was like I had an AM radio in each ear tuned to static and loud. People didn't like playing with me in group. I tried all kinds of things to figure it out and thought it was cause I had shorted my mobo with a standoff years ago cause it was right next to sound chip. What it really was couple things. First I made my gpu fans 100 percent but that wasn't even main culprit. On windows there is some kind of bug with ahcl driver? That will make your disk run at 100 percent usage for no reason. I had actually put a ssd in my rig in last few months too. Which the ssd made everything fast but that 100 percent disk usage killed me. I'm gonna link the microsoft support page about it. I'm fairly confident that it was same issue before ssd I just couldn't find it. Oh and the other problem was even at rest my cpu usage was running 30% or so and when you add a game on top of that maxes out real quick. That was stupid windows caching and file search stuff. oh yeah its the indexing files that triggers randomly. They also changed the name of it a time or two. So you would disable it and then boom nother update hit and it running again under another name. Putting this out there for all. Cause it not always the game that is causing problems with the game. ctrl-shift-esc is hot key for opening task manager immediately. Check processes tab and right click somewhere and turn on the different usage columns. Also look at the performance tab while the game is running, but first while it not and see what your machine is doing. If you notice something amiss then go to processes tab and sort by whatever you looking for. Say high disk usage and see if you can find the offending process. If you need to dig deeper on the performance tab I believe there is open resource monitor link that will give you more info right away on everything running. for ahcl driver bug info https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/help/3083595/task-manager-might-show-100-disk-utilization-on-windows-10-devices-wit Yo caring buddy john. We all in this together. p.s. sorry bout run ons. Momma says I dontch worry 'bout no gramarr

I agree with the discord being a big part. Honestly I was never much for the forums. Generally used it to catch up what was going on with the game. I only recently joined the unofficial discord. Just from being on it for a week I can say it is fairly active. I even gleamed information I hadn't know about and quickly at that. I don't see a lot of voice chatting but the text chats are going. I mean for quick chats or responses it is really nice. I already have discord up anyway and just switch servers when I need. As for the population I have been watching the server tracker online. Honestly it hurts my soul seeing it so low. I am grateful though to LO they given game a 2nd 2nd chance and i'll take it.

im am on Jericho and could always use a cash infusion. lol ive been under 100k for years lol. well on each character. i managed to grind and buy a car 6 months ago. so now im like at 10k . you dont have to donate though hahaha

I hadn't even thought of the billboards but that is a good idea. Sadly my art wouldn't be good enough for me to want it up there lol. i just had thought about making like a tshirt that said I heart Little Orbit or something. What sparked my original post was remembering another game that has similar feature. You cant use their game logo or other copyrighted material in it. Course they also let you upload small jpegs directly.

fair enough i've been known to do such a thing Thanks

Hey all, So honestly I was thinking about how happy I am with Little Orbit so far. I was wanting to show my support in game with either symbols or preset clothing perhaps? Wanting to know about what my options were and any rules dealing with symbols regarding little orbit name. I've seen where people have made different symbols. Just haven't seen any used in game yet. I get that there would be a risk of people using symbols to bash little orbit too. Also the risk of being misconstrued as "pretending to be little orbit staff" or something. So was just hoping for some insight is all. Thanks! John Nails

Alright so I was able to log in and get into a district. However I had to shut steam down, fire game up and log in manually. Then once I got to character screen I fired steam back up. I was getting battle eye blocked on same file. Also noticed that when the game crashed it was at the point that the game would have been logging in automatically with my steam account. Once I loaded into a district steam picked up I was playing apb. Now I haven't played yet so I don't know if it will kick me after a while. Also if you normally use steam to launch apb then you will have to go to your APB Reloaded\Launcher folder and run the apb launcher exe by hand. Otherwise the shortcut steam placed for you will try to open steam which I would assume would cause game to crash. best of luck, John

As a guy who was in the IT industry once upon a time, and also one who took down a couple server racks once, I am aware of how troublesome this kinda stuff can be. Appreciate all your hard work and heads up on what all transpired! Thank you for the free premium it is much appreciated! Honestly I am really impressed with ya'll since you took over. I am very grateful to you for doing so. This past year I was afraid we were going to see the end of apb soon. Since ya'll have been on the scene, i've noticed the little things you added. It has been as though apb has new life breathed into it! Again Thank You!, John Nails
