    You want to make the game better. But your suggestion is not correct. The game has a set of problems that need to be solved with the help of modernization and optimization. I agree with you that some of the new content needs to be removed because it spoils the game visually and reduces overall performance. Some serious problems of the game are quite simple to solve. For example: 
    1. The "High-Magnification Scope" modifier to change the drawing range by at least 10 meters, change the range of the bullet to the same distance. Make the damage of sniper rifles as predictable as before. 
    2. The "Car Surfer" modifier to add bloom to the sight. Goodbye Agrotek! 
    The game lacks a variety of combat mechanics. Right now, everything is limited to Ursus broken by Colby.45 AP, and a broken "Green Fart" modifier And that's it, you're the god of the game. It's a depressing sight.

    Some people will read this and say, "Take Ursus, Colby, and the Green Fart modifier and play with them." What is the problem? 
    The problem is that I realize that this shit is broken. Why would I play with broken shit? This is disrespectful neither to oneself nor to others.

    What needs to be done in order for the game to live:
    1. Fix the mechanics of player selection. Outcome of the matches is clear at the first stage of the mission. Therefore, it is not interesting to play.
    2. To deal with anti-cheat, (the administration does not control it) He lives his life. He does not ban crooks who use seemingly harmless things. For example, automatic running, graphics configurations. The year is 2024! What low graphics settings can we talk about? I played at maximum settings on an Intel core 2 duo cpu and got 30 FPS.
    3. Hire employees! This is necessary for the commercial success of the game! Solving problems is delayed for YEARS! This is unacceptable!
    4. Fix the weapon! All this broken shit that pseudo-golds like to shoot out of! This is terribly spoiling the game!
    I got the impression that the developers don't like this game. The main proof of this is the complete disregard for the problems that greatly spoil the game, and which can be solved in one working day. I see the potential in this game even after 14 years. APB deserves better, much better.

    I think the administration is listening to the wrong people. Because the current state of the game is beneficial only to a handful of veterans with ties to the administration. For the rest of the population, the role of bots is highlighted, whose interests are completely ignored.

    There is such a movie "Seven". There's a scene with a living corpse. They don't let him die and they don't let him live. This is very similar to the state in which the APB is located. Get into the fucking game! And stop suffering with bullshoot. Hire a team, pull the game out of the quagmire. What you are doing now is useless, because the game requires much more of your efforts. You're wasting money and time going nowhere!

    A new car has been added to the game. But for some reason, nothing is reported about this. 
    Cisco didn't get any better. I do not know in what situation it can be used. It doesn't have enough power for that weight. Its front axle has insufficient handling. It is assumed that it needs to be controlled in a skid, but it loses speed and accelerates for a long time. What is he in the game for? You just changed three digits in the code without thinking or delving into it. This is not the approach of the developers, this is the approach of charlatans making the appearance of work.

    Breathe into the bag. To relax. Go to settings-deleted-APB Reload-delete. Your life will be calmer, I promise.
    To stay afloat, LO needs to run along with others. LO will be closed, or it will be bought out. It's obvious. Your progress in this game is meaningless. Don't strain yourself.

    In a regular game, there should be favorable conditions for new players. In APB, it's the other way around, a new player gets to a BDSM party as the main course. The developers are contributing to the spread of this infection among the players. We turn a blind eye to the bug union, macros and other garbage. Most streamers use potato graphics. Potato graphics are prohibited. This spoils the reputation of the game. But the developers ignore this. They see the nickname, but they don't ban it.
    LO also does not control anti-cheat. They can't adapt it to their game. A recent ban issued to a friend of mine was related to a legal video capture program. Anti-cheat just kicked him a few times and then banned him. Without explanation.
    Developers don't give a damn about you and your problems. Don't write here, you're wasting your time.

    Not disclosing the program that got you banned is just EAC’s standard practice. It’s not something LO came up with. 
     

    If this can't be fixed, then maybe it's worth disabling it? The developers do not control the anti-cheat and cannot customize it for their game. This is stupid.

     

    Merged.

     

    I'm looking at the result tables after the missions. With the advent of anti-cheat, a new kind of player has appeared. In a narrow circle of my friends, we call such players crab sticks, because of the rank symbol above their heads. This is an entry-level twink using Duck, Ursus or other unbalanced shit bought with money. I wondered where they were getting these guns from if their account was blocked. 
    Judging by the unpleasant story of my friend, I draw a conclusion. Cheaters play with their shit cannon until the moment when the anti-cheat kicks them several times. Then, they transfer the guns to another account and continue playing until they are banned. In principle, such players don't give a fuck about anti-cheat bans.

    Anti-cheat banned my friend for using a desktop capture program. Anti-cheat was constantly kicking her, but she didn't understand it. She did not suspect that anti-cheat was doing this and was looking for a problem elsewhere. Please set up an anti-cheat so that it tells the player the reason for the kick or ban. Specifically and to the point! Something like: "Hi, I'm anti-cheat, I kicked you for using this program" Is it difficult? If so, then go to hell with your anti-cheat! This is a very stupid situation when such people are banned, and jumping jerks with metapushki, nightmare the area with a score of 30-1.

     Colby 45 is used mostly by assholes. A typical pleasant fellow APB is a gold guy who uses all the known glitches and bugs to win. Definitely uses metagun. Moves in a group with the same pleasant fellow. His goal is victory. He doesn’t give a damn about the fact that the enemy in front of him is much weaker than him. I hate peacocks like that.

    The problem here is that matchmaking allows for fights like this. Assholes must fight with the same assholes. It's disappointing that the game gives you two choices. Either you tolerate the role of meat, or you press ALT+F4.

    I'm a veteran. And I consciously do not use metaguns, much less crap like the Colby 45. I believe that this weapon is intended for developing character. But by using it, the player loses the opportunity to improve.

    Vulcan and OSMAV shoot to the left or right of the target if there is a car in front of you. The same problem occurs with grenades and OPGLs. This is not a bug, it was done on purpose so that you don't blow yourself up. The developers created this patch so as not to change the shooting mechanics. The projectile is fired from the center of the character, below the exit hole of the barrel. You see that the barrel is higher than the roof of the car, you shoot, but hit the car. As for me, this is a very stupid way out of the problem. Another crutch in the code. We need to eliminate the cause and not cover it up with a fresh coat of paint.

     

    An equally stupid crutch in the code is that the bullet can penetrate the cars of players not participating in the mission. This is necessary to protect against outside interference in the mission. But the cars don't stand out at all. The player does not receive information that this car is not bulletproof. He develops a misunderstanding and a feeling of annoyance. And then he goes to Steam and writes a review about cheaters in the APB.

     

    What about bad sidewalk conditions? The problem is that the OPGL projectile falls under the map, ignoring the collision of the sidewalk. This happens on all roads. Although the problem is most likely in the collision of the OPGL projectile, because other types of projectiles and grenades do not have this problem.

    Here's a question for Matt: Why are you releasing worthless weapons to ARMAS that nobody with a functional brain will buy? Isn't the point of ARMAS to generate income, so that the game can continue... "existing" might be a strong word, but we'll roll with that?

    Good question. When the engine update came out, I wanted to support the project. But I couldn't do it because I didn't find the goods I needed. For example, there are no additional slots for clothes, cars, symbols in Armas. There are also no products such as unlocking grenades, some types of weapons. The purchase of equipment, weapon modifiers and cars is also not available. There are no good fonts. There are few products for creativity. You can create a store of universal car wheels with adjustable diameter and width settings. You can add modifiers that change the behavior of cars. 
    I love this game because it has the opportunity to show my creativity to others, and I hate those people who ruin this opportunity by claiming that APB is a shooter. These people brought the game to its current state. Becoming a shooter, APB pulls a huge, not really used, ballast of various kinds of editors, auto racing, etc.

    Matt, you're pushing an old Cadillac stuck in the clay. And you've been doing it alone for five years. You are pelted with dirt from under the wheel.  And you understand that you alone will not push the car out, but you persistently continue to try without changing approaches.  I assure you that the old Cadillac is not worth your nerves, time and effort. The reputation of the game is at zero, the body is rotten, 300 cockroaches are running around in the trunk. Leave him alone, and go to the bright horizon. You have an understanding that this game has no analogue, so you are working on it. But there is no future for her either.

    I think that the speed of the game should be reduced. I know this has been done before, but it's not enough. The poor state of the server, the difference in the ping of players, protection from Ddos attacks, the poor state of the game client do not allow you to react in time. If the APB worked on a local server where 4 to 4 players meet, everything would be cool with a small ping, but this is not the case.
    I watch streams and videos of experienced players, most of them have configs for graphics, this improves performance and removes friezes during a skirmish with the enemy. I don't want to play such a wretched semblance of APB, it looks disgusting. In your case, I can say that in Asilum, the performance of the game drops even more compared to the mission areas. My old PC was losing about 40% of FPS in Asilum. I advise you not to devote time and effort to this game. In its current form, the APB is a garbage dump broken by the players and forgotten by the administration.

    Developers could avoid negativity in their address by publishing posts about the implementation of the roadmap, devoting one hour per month to this.

    But, apparently, they like this attitude towards them.

    Take responsibility and publish a post about the progress of the work. Whatever the result of the work. Players, as the most interested people, have the right to know about what is happening with the development.

    People tend to divide everything into yes and no, white and black. You're reading this right now thanks to the fact that your and my ancestors beaten with sticks their stupid relatives. Do not divide everything into yes and no. Respect the work of your monkey ancestors. 
    Car Surfer is a great mod, he's funny. It doesn't need to be turned on or off, it needs to be optimized. The surest solution would be to add shaking and inertia of the sight. 
    Many aspects of the game require an optimization process.  Starting from the global ones - the engine, the rules for selecting opponents. And ending with local, for example, broken consumables, or high-speed pistol shooting, which even the server does not have time for. He just tells me - dude, I didn't understand anything, but you were kind of killed, so listen to the jingle.

    The camera in a third-person game is your eyes and ears. All visual and sound effects must be tied to the camera.
    A character is a tool for interacting with the game world, these are legs and arms. The main impact of a stun grenade is on your eyes and ears, that is, on the camera. The secondary effect is damage to the character. 

     

    I haven't played PUBG. Judging by the description, the error is that flash grenades have an effect on the character. For flash-noise grenades to work correctly, you need to bind their action to the camera. That is, you need two parameters:
    1. distance of the camera from the explosion site;
    2.whether the explosion is within the camera's field of view.
    It is also worth considering the effect on third-party players.
    Bottom line: Stun grenades can be used successfully in a third-person game.

     

    To add flashbang grenades to the APB, you need to create a clone of any grenade, reduce its damage, add new effect particles, add a condition to the code whether the CAMERA sees the particle effect or not. If the CAMERA does not see the particle effect, the character takes damage from the explosion, the camera remains ok. If the CAMERA sees the particle effect, the character takes damage and the camera lights up for a few seconds. For the explosion stun effect, the grenade effect must be locked to the camera.
