    battleye runs an active process that scans your PC for any potential third party softwares that maybe affecting the game in an unusual way, only way to pass it would be creating your own software and not share it with anyone else because it will fall under the radar one day too. 

    Except that BattlEye doesn't detect macro. Below is a response from BattlEye to someone who raised the same concern in PUBG:

    there some instances where it glitches out the game and make people more faster when they're aiming their semis

    No wonder those Plebs can strafe faster than me sprinting with fragile..

    configs changing configs should be bannable unless its to change graphics, ( game isnt really that optimized) 

    I disagree, some advanced-launcher-users legit removed smoke-effects from their side. They can see through fresh-explosions. Although the use of Advanced Launcher has been approved, I believe that decision should get revisited.

    Little Orbit will be the company that lets you observe Waterfront from space with optional VR-support!

    At a lower 'orbital' altitude of course~~

    *coughs*

     

    No, seriously, I did not sense any intent of hiding information. In fact, even the CEO himself goes out of his way to check the forums in his free time, encourages discussion, etc...

    For those who don't feel that Little Orbiters are transparent, I wonder who you think/know is more straightforward.

    'omg, they banned all my characters! they have no right to do that!'.... over and over...

     

    I do not like to shame people but if ErrorDetection was making use of his braincells, he would've stopped provoking the GM-audience, fixed the title of the Stream and proceeded peacefully..

     

    Buuuuut, he decided to OPENLY type to the GM: So you deleted all of my symbols? Yeah, sure. I can just copy them over from my other accounts, because I copied them everywhere.. (of course, with his signature broken English).

     

    Now he is attempting to financially harm Little Orbit... The ♥♠♣♦ing idiot might get himself sued in reversal.... If not with LO, surely by another entity later down his life..

    Not having played for a long time (let's say 4 months) would put you in a ghost/black threat state, much like the esports ranking systems work,  where you'll have to play around 8-15 full matches in order to get classified. This state of threat would also allow you to play against all other threat levels (but only until you get classified).

    Sounds okay to me, but 8-15 matches may be too many. I'd say 1-3 matches are more than enough

    Whoever downvoted the most reasonable and technically correct advise here is a special someone who needs to be put in a pen and studied for extra chromosomes. 

    Downvoters are abundant, so I dunno how special that kitten is. I did not notice any immediate downside from getting downvotes, so let 'em have some false sense of... whatever that is in their minds and feels~~

    Getting into semantics, huh?

    Of course, since you don't seem to know the meaning behind the vocabulary you are using..

    The issue is still that the upsides of motorbikes are offset in quantity by their downsides. The cars already do most things the bikes do, but better.

    The issue is adding more choices and life to the game, even if it means handicapped-gameplay or limiting it to showing off designs (it has already been done to some mods and weapons people perceive as sub-par to meta). Again, I have already told you to refrain from limiting APB to the best possible ways to win a match. You may only run around with the most dominant loadouts if you so wish. Nobody is stopping you regardless..

     

    40 minutes ago, MartinPL said:

    And hypothetical situations. Sure, let's play that too.

    It intrigues me that you actually said that, considering that your arguments were all based on your own shortcomings in situational awareness and lack of basic driving skills..

     

    40 minutes ago, MartinPL said:

    Not all cars have cargo capacity - and this is why the meta consists of Pioneer, Espacio, Vegas 4x4 (and slightly less so Jericho and Bishada). If I need cargo capacity or a mobile wall, I can switch to a Pioneer. If I need speed, I can switch to a Vegas. And I could switch to a bike... if I wanted to get spun out and killed by any car at all that rams into me?

    The meta is the meta, but once again, Players DO STILL drive other vehicles such as the previously mentioned Packer Vaquero. Simply because they WOULD LIKE TO DO SO. If you are a meta-Player who simply refrains from variety, that is your own thing.. Plus, nobody is forcing you to play with things that puts you at a disadvantage. If you can't handle the heat, you are more than welcome to stick to your beloved meta.

     

    41 minutes ago, MartinPL said:

    And the lack of a Mobile Spawn Point or a Mobile Radar Tower really starts to hurt the longer you're in the mission.

    1 » You are assuming that not a single player in the team has a car with a mobile spawner..

    2 » As I have already told you, APB allows for changes to be made mid-mission. Please refrain from trying to push a false argument forward. For someone such as yourself who appears to be the King of meta, I do not honestly believe that you are incapable of switching stuff on the fly....

    Honestly thought I could have a civil conversation here, but oh well - apparently any kind of disagreement with someone else on this forum is interpreted as a direct attack that also requires an ad personam response. Sure, two can play that game.

    Proper, constructive disagreement is the way to go. Using arguments that portray your own laziness and shortcomings as a player, in addition to a harsh tone & vocabulary that you do not understand half of is not.. Perhaps revise yourself before taking it out on others.

    This point in particular had nothing to do with one's driving skills. It's a fact that motorcycles are lighter and less durable than cars. Getting hit by a car while you're on a bike will either toss you off, make you lose control, or outright smash you to pieces.

    No... just no.. You have clearly said and I quote: "Not to mention that you'd be pretty much exposing yourself to almost instant death if you somehow end up hitting a wall head-first or fall off at a high speed"... This has nothing to do with one's driving skills, hmmm? Okay...…………..

    Except the claim was substantiated. Their low healthpool, small physical size and practically nonexistant cargo capacity make them only good for player transportation and no other role. You would have known that if you had actually read my post in its entirety and considered my stance instead of trying to pick for things you could misconstrue.

    You are advising me to read and consider your stance when you don't read yourself nor considered mine's, Sir... I have clearly stated and I quote from myself: "APB isn't just about having the best methods to win a match and shouldn't be viewed as such. It is well-known that APB's selling point is its customization and freedom. Do not constraint Players to play the game in the easiest/cheapest ways possible to win".

     

    Please…. read before you act...

    Currently, the highest top speed in APB is limited by the engine (see: the fastest car, Vegas G20, is only so fast that it lets the map load in as it moves), which means that if motorcycles were to be added in the current state of things, they would still be on par with the high-end cars, speed-wise.

     

    If the Engine Upgrade will allow for higher top speeds, then perhaps motorcycles would be a fun little experiment. The worst that could happen is that they end up not being used by anyone due to their shortcomings.

    If you actually read yourself, you'd see that my argument was about acceleration and navigation that rivals small cars.. I did not speak about top speed.. You'd also have known that I don't care about your beloved meta..

    ----------------------------------------------------

    If you wish to have a fruitful yet civil discussion, I encourage you to work towards it starting from yourself..

    I honestly appreciate your argumentation, however there are some things I still disagree about - the most egregious one being the purpose of motorbikes. Even taking into consideration the positive aspects of motorbikes (navigation of spaces such as doorways and car blockers in front of stairs, high acceleration), I frankly can't imagine them as anything but obsolete when compared to cars.

    "Obsolete" pertains to something that is too old, outdated, replaced by something new... Being different in seat-capacity, number of tires, total volume, etc doesn't make bikes obsolete.. Both cars and bikes currently use the same technology. If one of them goes 'obsolete', so does the other. Perhaps when Nuclear-Vehicles become the norm you could call them obsolete.

    With many missions in the game forcing you to carry items to your base, picking a vehicle with absolutely no cargo capacity is an active detriment to your entire team's efforts. Arguably you could work around it with Creme De La Crime's items by letting them be held in one hand (although even that would be an active risk to the driver, seeing as one hand less is controlling the bike), what about Chemical Warfare, where the final item is a Sarin-filled barrel? If anything, your team will hate you for not having a useful vehicle for that situation.

    I have already told you, not all cars have cargo capacity to begin with. Additionally, not all missions contain heavy barrels, computers, etc to carry. APB requires players to be dynamic. In the same manner that you can switch to a close-ranged to counter a PMG-Pleb, you can also switch vehicles if needed. Simply go to a vending machine or a car spawner, press i and select a vehicle that fills the current mission's need. Additionally, not everyone would have bikes as active vehicles, since there are people like you who prefers to drive cars 100% of the time. IF the entire team is full of Cyclists, they can not hate you for doing the same thing you are doing.... Do you honestly worry about a game that has haters everywhere? They should learn to carry their own weight first. Heck, an entire team of Cyclists won't have to change vehicles anyway, Civilian cars are abundant if your team is too lazy to switch.

    Not to mention that you'd be pretty much exposing yourself to almost instant death if you somehow end up hitting a wall head-first or fall off at a high speed. And getting forced into this kind of an altercation by, for example, enemy cars pushing you around and making you spin out, isn't hard. You could argue that APB doesn't need to be realistic because there's already a bunch of unrealistic game mechanics in the game, but I think that there are some things and "rules" that should be kept natural and realistic, to avoid subversion of expectations.

    No shaming intended but please do learn how to drive the starter Machina before anything else.. Your argument is clearly applicable to either Bronze Players or those whom are yet to get accustomed to latency-driving.

    Motorbikes' only purpose in the metagame would be getting from point A to point B at any cost and regardless of risks taken to get there. They don't exactly fit anywhere and don't belong as anything other than a thought experiment, a "what if this was a thing" hypothetical situation.

    You did not substantiate your claim. All you are saying here is 'no to bikes'..

    I would absolutely love to see more new content (the Showstopper was a good start), but this just ain't it. We really don't need motorbikes.

    Repeating "we really don't need motorbikes" doesn't add to the table, I already know what your stance is towards them.

    Imagine a motorcycle gettin' pushed by a vegas (for example) into a wall...

    » If the collision is head-on, the biker COULD wheelie at the right moment. If the Vegas has nitrous and does the wheele as well, tough luck.

    » If the Vegas hits the bike from its side, the Vegas will bank the bike sideways and mow over it. Physics just doesn't work like that, unless Devs re-shape a car into a bike with a massive invisible hitbox, that would look unfinished and terrible.

     

    It won't push the bike into a wall unless the bike is already there by the wall asking to get rammed.

    Fortuna was not developed with the sole intent of giving the players access to a hoverboard mechanic. It's a part of it, but not the cornerstone.

    Motorcycles do not fit in the flow of APB. I myself am guilty of having supported the idea of adding motorcycles in the past, but upon further consideration I can't say I agree anymore. Choosing a motorcycle as a personal vehicle would put the player at a disadvantage. You give yourself a vehicle that's essentially too short to provide cover, has too little health to withstand any real damage, causes you to be exposed to gunfire (like you were on foot) except you cannot shoot back, cannot carry any baggage (and I imagine it could not work as a mobile spawner)... so why even have it as an option?

     

    False equivalency of the "weight" of features, try again.

     

    1 hour ago, GhosT said:

    We certainly don't need motorcycles in APB.

     

    This is exactly why nothing new gets added to the game..  for a decade, because more stuff are "not needed". Because more features won't add variety nor fun..

     

    Although I agree that motorbikes are not needed AT ALL, that doesn't mean they would serve 0% purpose. We also do not need the fragile-mod for instance, but I personally enjoy it and the small speed-gain from it made my team win some matches in the nick of time.

     

    It is true and reasonable that bikes can not provide the protection of a car/van/truck, but they can accelerate faster, navigate through ever tighter spaces compared to the Packer Vaquero. Players can not shoot back? Perhaps not with the primary-weapon but surely they should be allowed to shoot with a pistol at least.. bikes can not carry bags or barrels, heck even my Devil Dog's Cisco can't but players themselves could carry necklaces and boxes... There are also those who would spend time customizing the appearance of their bikes for the purpose of taking pictures and overall, make APB look more alive (this could help bump up the player-base btw, perhaps not by much but it could). There are always two sides to the same coin. All the negatives mentioned have adjacent risk-to-reward counterparts that could prove useful in some matches as well as add variety to vehicles and.. fun..

     

    I understand that at the present moment, it may not be possible to add bikes due to the fact that all vehicles protect players within, so perhaps later in the future if we ever get lucky to see regular and bullet-proof window-mechanics added (and it was this way for years). However, the argument of "not needed" is too bland and not valid at all. APB isn't just about having the best methods to win a match and shouldn't be viewed as such. It is well-known that APB's selling point is its customization and freedom. Do not constraint Players to play the game in the easiest/cheapest ways possible to win.

    Thanks for the screenshot

     

    This is a big spike to your router, which BattleEye may not like:

    unknown.png

     

    Still, I would like to eliminate other possibilities.

     

    1 » Make sure you don't have "Cucusoft Net Guard" or any similar networking software running. If yes, stop them and try APB again.

    2 » Try connecting to APB through a VPN, see if that changes anything (if yes, then the problem is with your Internet Service Provider)

     

    If options 1 and 2 don't work, then the problem is with your router

    ok, it's not working

    That means your files are okay~

     

    BattleEye could be dropping you due to packet issues with your router.

     

    Let us test your ping to the router and internet. Please open two command prompts (that black console window).

    1 » In the first window, type: ping 8.8.8.8 -t

    2 » In the second window, type: ping 192.168.1.1 -t    (assuming your router's default gateway address is 192.168.1.1. If unsure, you can type "ipconfig")

     

    Let them run for a bit, then take a screenshot just like this:

    A hard-drive contains millions and billions of sectors, think of this as apartments in a city..

    The softwares you speak of will only help if no new information were written on the sectors that had APB-files on them..

     

    What does that mean? It means that there is a good chance you won't be able to recover the files with said software, because the hard-drive was being used for 2 days... Even if you recover some of the data, the launcher will force a repair on your APB-directory. Additionally, a software like that is usually payware and is not guaranteed to properly restore your files

     

    The best way is to just re-download the game..

     

    P.S: Do not uninstall games if you do not have fast internet to get them back.... unless you need the HDD space..

    As stated, your problem only arises when trying to connect to financial. Which of the following have you tried so far?:

     

    - To enter financial using another character.

    - To enter financial using another account (different E-mail).

    - To repair installation.

    - To redownload APB.

    your answer is a bit off topic . But in the task described by you there are NO PROBLEMS at all . once again Epidemic 2 is a very easy event in comparison with the event  Hoserman . where you had to run away from the whole army of pumpkins led by Hoserman .

    It is NOT off topic when your punchline/closing-remark was: "LO ! you are the greedy team . "....

     

    - Although it is okay to compare Epidemic and Horseman, it is not right to judge LO in this way, because LO DID NOT design nor decide rewards for the Horsemen event.

    I want to remind you that at the time of G1 we received a lot of codes : premium time , things . G1 attracted players . at the moment, this is not .

     

    although these are simple rules of successful business .

    Absolutely correct, it would indeed spark some loyalty to LO, but there is a possible downside. The player-base at the moment is too low compared to when G1 was in charge. Being generous to a low player-base essentially means running the 'business' for free (for instance, Armas's minimum premium duration lasts a month, but players can do all their customizations in the 3-day-gift-premium to last for like 2-3 months)… Please understand that LO paid a lot to purchase APB, a successful business must have a positive net-income. I could be wrong here and there but this is how I see it right now.

    LO being greedy may also mean that you are being a leech. Every coin has 2 sides to it, hmm~~?
