    Hello,

     

    I like this car it has brought me back to the game for a bit and added something. (not a bad effort but...)

     

    - The fuel cap needs to be moved away from the ridged area and directly above the wheel arch.

    - Coloring of sections needs some work, eg rear bumper to much (shown in orange)

    - LOD / draw distance is bad.

    - Wheels are unfinished

    - Interior is unfinished.

    - Odd interior glow when reversing

    - Dust effect also odd, looks low detail in some places and misses part of the boot area.

    Two things here are off, one the FBW can not shoot faster then 0.2 s

    hots per second it is hard coded that way (Except with Cooling Jacket) so that is totally impossible to happen and thus makes your entire claim of the rest of the thread invalid.

     

    But our Loaf friend is talking about cheats / cheaters vs genuine players.
    There is no doubt, a cheater could easily out gun with the FBW and kill quicker than a genuine player using the ntec (or other such as an SMG) in CQC. How Loaf has expressed this and worded the post may not convey the actual suggestion. Loaf is frustrated that in all this time cheaters and cheating is still a big problem today and suggests it is hurting the playerbase / and is one of the biggest contributing factors to the games decline and should be the number 1 priority.

    Two, The sad thing is that looking at your profile you have only been playing the game for two-three years, most of the long term players in this game have been playihng for around 12 years now and have WAY more experience then you and thus can play that well.

     

    As for a low level player doing that then it is totally possible that they are just someone on a new character, people make them all the time, The blunt hard fact is that just with most people you are thinking others are cheating and just not wanting to accept the fact that others are better then you.

     

    I'm not sure what to say about this, do you see what you have done?

    You imply our Loaf friend has made an assumption about players and yet you do the very same thing based on their forum account.

    Loaf also mentions the word "decade" in the original post and so I would assume he / she has been around much longer.

     

     

    Loaf, there are posts about the changes to the game (see the A/Q thread )

    https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2022/12/22/2022-AMA-RECAP

     

    In short nothing will change yet as the game engine and code needs to be updated first. Essentially what will happen is the game will remain identical but all the coding behind it will be modernised.

    This transition will then allow for and make it easier to change the game content and improve it but in the mean time most of the issues that exist will remain.

    So where does it start? Doesn't it start at LO having a proper Anti Cheat in place? If that were the case, there would be close to no "cheaters" thus whose ruining the game? Little Orbit is by still using a heavily flawed easily bypassed "Anti Cheat". Don't blame dumb people that are bad at the game for using some software to give them an edge when LO are clearly allowing it to happen 🙂

    Tell that to the players trying to play but are being TKed for no reason, griefed or insulted for not playing to someone elses expectations, and all the other non-sense that goes with online gaming.

    I did also write "Devs being lazy or not knowing how to resolve cheating doesn't help but they are the response to cheating and not the cause of ruining the game."

    You have answered your own questions and see exactly what the issues are around  human detection "depends who you are asking". As to who ruins the game, i'm going to disagree on that, it is the player / players cheating that ruin the game. Their actons cause the developers hassle into trying to resolve an issue which is down to human behaviour.

     

    Who is in control of human behaviour? No one, its you, your free independant thought process. you choose how you play, what you say, how you write, the style and emotions you promote / directly or indirectly as you play. Devs being lazy or not knowing how to resolve cheating doesn't help but they are the response to cheating and not the cause of ruining the game. Players cheating ruin the game and devs reacting too slow or inappropriately lets us down.

    Literally f*ckall.
    There have been people literally showing themselves cheating on stream and nothing happens (that's not me hackusating but it's an actual thing).
    Heck even when you send support all the evidence needed, nothing gets done.

    Battle Eye is just pathetic and useless, hence why they want to go back to Easy Anti Cheat (which they should have never gotten rid of to begin with), still not perfect but a LOT better than Battle Eye.
     

     

    I see what are you saying and detection rate of said BE and parameters is another topic. The point I was making and which you quoted is about human involvement and how the detection comes about.

    Devs want software to detect.

    Humans can visually see cheaters depending on their actions.

    Common sense approach, why not ban if it is plain obvious.

     

    The complaint is whilst we wait for something to be done cheating continues and some of it can be elminated with the presence of someone that just has to watch and see for themselves.

    Who is the person to make that decision, who is "qualified" (employee or GM?) to judge gameplay and deem it to be in violation of ToS.

    And now comes your bigger issues of legal implications which cannot be ignored and that is the biggest issue the devs face, they cannot afford to get it wrong.

    Third party Anti-cheat, detection and liability slightly more their side.

     

    Overal what is better?

    Banned for cheating with proof and genuine software detection

    Banned on suspicion of cheating, video evidence without software detection.

     

    That's my take on it, devs can explain their implications and reasons with more detail but it always comes down to ToS and legal matters.

    Update that, "if we suspect you are cheating, you will be banned"

     

    I'm not overlooking player satisfaction and complete disappointment in how cheating has been handled over the years, I know its a massive let down to see a game you enjoy runined by people that just don't understand how their actions are a detriment to the game, other players and even themselves. We need more action to eliminate cheating and negativity within the game and I would welcome a more proactive approach.

    As an old APB player you know the choice to ban players based on human perception will never happen as it's always about detection.

     

    It's exactly what you are saying, think about it.

    Those team killers that were constantly killing you "think" you cheat.

    So is perception the answer?

     

    Spoiling the fun for others is an issue and anyone that does so needs to look in the mirror and question their values.

    If you cheat and you read this post, please stop cheating and be a better player instead.

     

    You choose to be who you are, online and in real life there is no difference because the one thing that always matters is what you think of yourself.

    These words are intended to inspire change especially those who have lost their way to cheating.

    Hello,

     

    Did you manage to resolve the issue?

     

    If not run the game on default settings, no changes to configs just max all options.

     

    Run the game in windowed mode with the FPS limit on in APB so its at 62fps.

    Does this change anything or does the game last longer?

    for me when the card setup is completely stock and the NVc is stock (no profiles) i was having stability issues in game. so yes would play but card was not happy, game would crash. 

    Your own words, all I'm saying is that any RTX 3000 series card that doesn't work from the factory and requires the user to underclock or mess around with the power limit to get the game stable is faulty.

    this cyberpunk letters..so original 😏

    Not sure if you played the game but I had to use the font so that the phrase below makes sense. "In San Paro style is everything"?

    This is quote related to Cyberpunk.

     

    The fact that APB is still far beyond the customisation levels offered in a modern game such as Cyberpunk where, "In Nightcity style is everything", is my inspirational input to the APB devs and community. It's a play on words which maybe now makes more sense to you / everyone else

    To make my system stable (not just gaming or gpu) , so being = Not over heating, Not Throttling the GPU, but also optimize Power usage for the rest of the system.  So not for the game  as such,  the game would have random moments of needing alot of GPU, thus increase Power Draw. if your gpu says i want 100% power and a small bit more for nv Boost, then your at 102% this very quick request can make your PSU unstable or who system, But just dropping your Gpu down by 5% can help reduce the risk of this happing , in that situation the gpu will only demanding 97% say of its total ability theres no way of the gpu demanding more voltage then available and chocking its self. or causing voltage drops through the system.

     

     

    I'm going to give my honest answer to your problems based on everything you have mentioned. You had an unstable setup to begin with which is the reason why APB was crashing for you.

    By underclocking and exerpeimenting you have made your system stable but the fact of the matter is APB was not the cause of the crashes. You cannot run at default manuafurer settings but then when underclocking and tweaking can run APB proves this to be true, The game remained exactly the same except now your hardware is under less stress and therefore not crashing.

     

    Also what you mention above about a power supply becoming unstable is only true if the power supply is unable to cope with the load in the first place. Voltage drops are the result of over stressed components (or a poorly designed PSU) and would not happen in a system that was capable. Heat / power related stability is down to cooling and design of said GFX card so again whilst lowering / underclocking will reduce the load and temperatures you need to ask yourself what is the real source of all the problems, is it the software (APB) or hardware.

    Hey ElectroStingz. (apologies for the very late reply)  A "small" amount of testing.. 😂 so first question . How I Start all scenarios/testing is to have everything stock be it gpu and os.  but "stock" will never be the most efficient/optimised .  for me when the card setup is completely stock and the NVc is stock (no profiles) i was having stability issues in game. so yes would play but card was not happy, game would crash.

     

    Given this scenario, in summary you are saying to get it stable you had to underclock your GFX card?

    good to hear. 👌

     

    a lot of the time its dependant on three things, 

    1) the "type" / manufacture of card you have. And if your running it OC (be it manually or manufacture oc) 

    2) what mode you have Nvc/Experience set to ie max/app/balanced

    3) how far your pushing the game Ie high spec resolution / FPS / high - ultra graphics. etc. 

     

    it really is unique to the build,.. what may be stock game for you is not for someone else.  

     

    Happy gaming 👍😉

     

     

     

    Hello Sgt Drayke,

     

    You appear to have done a lot of testing and I have some questions about your tweaks.

    What happens if you keep everything as you have done but run the GFX card at 100% factory settings? So undo all the EVGA precision settings so that the card is running as EVGA advertised.

    And why does your card show 2040MHz for the GPU?

    The OCA-EW 626-SD Silverado is a shadow of it's former self.

    There was a time when it was op (like most things)

    Then it became balanced

    Now it's broken.

     

    The current 17.5m range doesn't help, the limited 22 mag means you need to make sure you are on target and the bloom is a killer.

    Plus the current server performance it simply feels like your rounds disappear.
