    I'd just ALT + F4 instead of waiting if that happens again and you're on defense with lots of stages. It's really dumb how it's set up.

    ye was on a defense mission with 7 stages the first time that happened, I tried so hard I almost broke my mouse because I pushed my aim to full power, but even trying hard won't work in 3v2, they should at least make the other teammate gets the lead when the leader is AFK

    So I am r239 enforcer and as you know, the leadership system in the teams picks the person with the highest rank as a leader, so here's what happened, I got in a 2v3 mission, my team with 2 people including me, the opponent team with 3 people 2 silvers 1 gold, so far so good, right? Nope, Here's the problem, My teammate who's r255 and the leader went AFK from the start of the mission till it's end, And I wasn't able to request leadership because we're a team of 2, And wasn't able to request backup because I am not the leader, so it's a 1v3 fight, And I certainly lost it, I wouldn't have a problem if that happened once, but that situation happened unbelievably 3 times today, So how can I deal with this situation if it for some reason got so popular? Also I think the kick system is bugged as it didn't kick my teammates in any of these missions even though they were AFK for the whole mission...

    Actually the weapons you guys want to be nerfed are the type of weapons that will only be good if you are skilled and know how to use it, I'd say that they shouldn't be nerfed as skill in that case is a bigger factor than the weapon's stats

    Sometimes you get better, but mostly in this period you get spikes and disconnects randomly, with high or mid ms during your playtime, is not a problem with your connection, servers can't handle too many players all together.

    They lag alredy with 40-40, imagine 40-40 multiplied because of the world situation over.. 6/7 or more districts.

    Still, I only noticed these problems started happening today, I didn't notice these problems any time else in this month... why today exactly?

    4th problem

    Hello everyone and welcome, Today I noticed 4 connections bugs that I would like to talk about...

    1- High ping for no reason, my ping is usually 50~70 ms and I did ping google.com -n<number of tests> command and the ping is 50~70 ms, google is consistent and reliable to test ping and packet loss, but in APB I sometimes get 70 ms ping, but sometimes when I switch server I get 120 ms+ ping until I restart the game, and that sometimes doesn't work too...

     

    2- Getting stuck at "Connecting to district server" when joining a server, this problem is so annoying, After it happens the only thing I can do is disconnect and reconnect my internet and/or restart the game...

     

    3- Getting logged out without a previous warning, sometimes after 1~2 minutes of joining the district I get logged out to the login screen without any previous warning, and when I get there I don't find any message telling me what exactly happened as if I intentionally gave the game the command to log out...

     

    4- 2FA sometimes doesn't appear when I log in even though I didn't turn on "remember me" in it, And it sometimes tells me the code I inserted is wrong even though I entered it right as if the code on my phone and the code in their servers is not aligned...

     

    So does anyone else have these problems? Does anyone know the fix? Have a nice day/night all...

    Does your PC currently perform what you want it to do?

    Yes?

    Then no you don't need to upgrade.

    Was wondering if anything is bottlenecking it (I don't own an SSD btw)

    Hello everyone, I have a question about PCs. Amy help is welcomed, I have been wondering if there's something I should upgrade in my PC, And I apologize for shitposting on this forum a while back ago (Message to Ketog: I am sorry for my mistakes in my previous posts, I didn't know it's shitposting )

     

    So my PC specs are:

    -Core i5 4590

    -8 GB RAM Dual channel 1600 Mhz

    -XFX Radeon RX 570 running at 1284 MHz

    So I have been wondering if there's something bottlenecking my rig in normal games (normal games=not too CPU intensive and not too GPU intensive=Balanced intense)

    So what do you guys recommend me to upgrade? I am thinking about playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 (when it's released) at 1080p low~medium settings 60 FPS or playing games like Call of duty Warzone....

    Maybe you should remove one of the APB copies weirdo.

     

     

    That SSD is not mine, it's my friend's, I borrowed it do tests on it to see if my HDD is the reason, Turns out it was... for SOME of the bugs

    I got trade locked when I changed GPU drivers.

    If you change something in hardware it also will force trade lock on you.

    Kinda spywareish but hey, January of 2018 wasn't fun.

    Before I had tradelock I had AMD Drivers 19.2.1, downloaded new drivers for my RX 570 (Drivers 20.2.2) and then got the one hour tradelock...

     

    Merged.

    Sounds like the old AssetCache issue and the latency it caused, on HDD's. Find and check that folder and just clear it to check. Game should clear it anyway so no harm in trying.

     

    When I start APB I often can hear my cute neighbor start making indecent sounds after some gunfights. It's really strange that this always happens after launching and playing the game for a bit it doesn't happen with other games. I recently checked with WT and Pav. Nothing. But play some APB and it starts. I bumped in her not long ago and decided to tell her I play it and one of her legs started twitching really weird. When I asked if she wanted to chill and smoke she turned red and ran away. I have a HDD as well. I might just take her hand next time and see what happens.

    How?... This is... paranormal...

    i disabled 2FA its annoying and doesnt work well. also if your cell phone's time gets unsynced you might have a hard time getting a correct code to login with... this has happend to me a few times and i had to manually change the time on my phone to get the proper code to login with.

    Ye but I am scared my account gets stolen, and afraid to find out and change my password when it's already too late and the abuser sent all my legendaries to their account...

    Hello everyone, I haven't posted on this forum for a while, And sorry for shitposting last time, was just too bored....

     

    So I have noticed a lot of weird stuff going on in my APB recently... here's a list...

    1. "Remember Me" option doesn't work for 2FA, when I click it and try to login again it still asks me for code again...

    2. When I click "return to lobby" on my account it logs me out instead of returning me to lobby even though on other accounts I return to lobby normally

    3. I got a tradelock for 1 hour even though I got 2FA

    4. Often getting stuck at "connecting to district server...." stage when changing district server and having to restart the game

    5. I noticed something that's very unusual, I have 2 copies of APB, one on my HDD and the other on my SSD that are exactly the same, I am very sure, I have noticed that when I play on the HDD copy I get a very bad ping that's over 140 ms and when I play on the SSD copy I get a normal ping of 50 ms average...

    6. Weird stuff happen on my HDD copy, for example it sometimes doesn't show loading videos and shows some random blank screen and in login screen it shows no-textures screen of waterfront

    7. Random disconnects in my HDD copy

    8. Disconnecting in HDD copy 50% of the times in the "entering world server" stage or "contacting login server" stage

     

    So do you know why these problems happen? it doesn't feel normal!

    (And no, there's nothing wrong with my internet, And I tried the "repair game" option multiple times for the HDD copy)

    ideally you want to have a setup thats comfortable for close range, mid range, and long rage

     

    easiest short range weapons are probably the OCA and PMG (NFAS as well but who knows for how long)

     

    mid range I would suggest the ntec if you are willing to learn to tap fire, ATAC if you just wanna hold down mouse 1

     

    long range take your pick, HVR obviously deals massive damage, but it leaves you vulnerable in closer engagements.

    I personally find the cr762 and Obir good enough for the vast majority of engagements

     

    as far as improving your gameplay:

     

    aim is important in APB... its a shooter so that's obvious

    what isnt so obvious is that positioning and prediction are just as important... so basically if you lack in one area (aim) you want to try to improve the others to compensate

    always try to think WHERE your opp will be waiting or from WHERE they are attacking... the less often you are surprised, the more likely you will get the first shots off, the more likely you will win the engagement

     

    a good starting point for getting the larger image of a mission is learning when to disengage... you DONT have to fight every fight to the death, if the fight isnt in your favor, dip out

    GRENADES!!! always use your grenades, start to think "if I die with my nades I dun goofed"

     

    DONT just - spawn rush spawn rush spawn rush-

    always regroup, always try to fight as a group even if playing with randos

     

     

    I am using JG, is it good enough? should I start learning how to use it?

    So I am currently living in the middle east (Egypt to be exact) and I am having a ping of 75~100 ms almost all the time in citadel, the bright side though is that I am getting over 95 FPS on my PC, but my monitor is only 60 Hz, so I also suffer from ghosting...

     

    My skill level is... it's kinda average, I play in bronze well, but suffer against dethreaters and cheaters, and when I become gold and have to enter silver servers I get screwed by Pros, sometimes it ends up well when my team is being helpful but that rarely happens in APB... So most of the time in silver servers I get like 3 kills 8 deaths... And my Aim is not the best, my aim improves really slowly, I play APB since a while and my aim is still not so good... so for example if I fire 30 shots at a moving enemy 18 out of these 30 shots will actually hit the enemy...

     

    So What weapon should I use and practice with full-time to actually become a good player and actually be able to play well?

     

    Merged.

     

    Will anyone actually give me an advice instead of just disliking the topic?

    Why in APB Only old players stick around, I've found out that most APB players play since 2012~2014 and some of them play since the game's release, What I want to know is why... just why only old players stick around, why do they rather APB and don't move to any other game? and why new players always quit in the first few days or the first weeks?

    "n-tec premades"? Is that what silvers call good players nowadays?

     

    Even if you are a top tier player, if you play alone you won't stand a chance against a full group of good players because APB is not a solo game. The strategy is to not expect much from these matches and just do your best, whatever that might mean, knowing full well that your skill isn't the reason for the loss 99% of those times.

    I am not a silver, well... I actually am right now Temporarly till that bad luck streak goes away, Anyway, This is not how I call a good player, I call a good player a "Pro"... And these n-tec permades never miss a shot which is totally impossible to achieve... So that's a new type of players I guess? the god-like players?

    just don't worry about it

     

    big brain moves

    It's not being worried, it's just that feeling... I can't explain it...

    But you know... that feeling that you get when you are an Old experienced player but still get wrecked and feel like a noob... as if all that time you played was useless...

  24. Posted · Edited by blockblack

    So today in APB I got matched against a Group of n-tech premades (those premade players with mic who dress in black and use all-black cars and NEVER EVER miss a shot) and I lost... Switched server and got matched with another group of these premade players and lost to them 3 times, then switched server again and this time got matched twice against a group of cheating low ranks...

     

    Because of all these losses I became Silver for the first time in a while... And I am feeling so devastated... I lost 7 Matches in a row +no wins today... I managed to get some kills but against these n-tec premades I scored like 3 kills and 11 deaths...

    None of my friends were online, And I am not in any clan (because all clans are currently either russian or Toxic)

     

    I know it's just a game but this is... this is just making me feel like a useless devastated noob even though I play APB Since 2016 with 4000+ hours...

     

    Did the same ever happen to you? Can you tell me something that can make me feel at least less devastated? Thanks
