@DigiMax this can happen a lot, normally every time I log on and try connecting to a server. click ok and go back out to Main menu lobby (character/ account select) then log back in if you have to and connect in, should work. If you are having further issues not being able to connect then more information is required. you will need do the "normal" checks, 1) make sure your os is up to date, check your AV/AM security applications including OS firewall/defender is not blocking or limiting the game. 2) worth checking your internet connection is stable, consistent speeds/ping. especially over wireless. Dont try to play over VPN, and if trying to connect to EU from non eu countries will cause connection issues.

The weekly installment of the "LAPD Squad Meet Up" is being held on Wednesday and, as always, takes place in combination with the "Chipp's Car Club" (CCC) player event. The starting time for the "LAPD Squad Meet Up" is around 19:00 GMT*. We usually meet up at least an hour or two before CCC starts and do regular patrols together as well as custom high speed chases (depending on whether or not open world crime is going on). If you want to participate - on the cop or the criminal side - just let us know. The CCC player event does start at 21:00 GMT* and the location for this week should be the Financial Gold district. Please use either the CCC Discord LINK or the CCC APB Forum LINK for more details about the CCC event and the specifics about the district's event location. Members of LAPD Squad will again take care of traffic control during the street races after the CCC car show (where participants present their newest customisations). Any other enforcer or criminal interested in helping out - and thus doing something entirely different in game for a change - is welcomed to keep the traffic at bay with us. If you have time to attend, we hope to see you on the streets. In any case please stay safe out there and use all necessary precautions to stay healthy! --------- * Make sure to take "Daylight Saving Time" (DST) into account in regard to the starting times for both the LAPD Squad Meet Up (19:00 GMT) as well as Chipp's Car Club (21:00 GMT) in case you hail from a country not using DST!

HI @rodrig0rm1 sorry to hear your having this issue.. Firstly sorry if this comes across as me picking holes in your message, I am just simply trying to understand and narrow possibilities. so here are some questions, but also some pointers to think about checking 1) so You downloaded APB, is this recently? or an older copy that you have opened and updated to current version? if this was an old version (more then a year or so) but has updated then i would think about the possibility of re-installing the game with the latest install file through steam. ¬> additionally remember to check for updates with Dx & Netframework4.8+ the latter should update through your os updates but some times gets missed. 2) Blue Screens of Death BSOD - these are tricky and yes this could be caused by applications and not system hardware but mostly result in hardware failure but not Faulty hardware, (in a nutshell = BSOD is an os safety trigger in the event of an application causing harm to hardware or hardware malfunction that can cause further damage, even a bad memory chip on ram can cause this in random intervals) so i would get my phone ready, and try to trace my steps to make this happen again and with the phone ready record your screen or take a pic, why? the BSOD will display a code, or if like you state you have the most recent OS it will present a QR code for you to scan with your phone camera. This will then present you with some sort of "idea" reference to the MS site regarding to what your BSOD is. (sometimes its a "very vague" description but points you in the direction you need to investigate. 3) abit more technical and you will need administrative rights to your OS, iv advised before in other threads is to view your "event viewer log (EVL) " , if you know the exact time and date this BSOD happened, you can load the EVL on the left side under Custom logs > Administrative logs = scroll to the time and date of your BSOD and look through for any "critical" events and anything that stands out as an issue, note that some events stem from a series or domino effect that can be up to 10/20 minutes prior. take your time to read through. also do not be alarmed if you see a lot of "caution" events some (most) you can ignore. 4) you stated that you monitored task manger and your ram never when above 5.5Gb , this i would imagen you mean as a total system usage? as the game its self in current state will never go above 3.0/3.2gb due to its build limits. BUT if you do have an issue like memory leak anything above will cause the game to crash out, so i would be very concerned if your game was going to 5.5gb. ¬> I would also take into account that your gpu is only a 2gb, which means it is having to share/divide load with your system ram, this is dependant on your motherboard configuration if this is set to do so. ¬> additionally , 1050 are not regarded as "medium/high end" gaming graphics cards, they are actually the low end, & can play some games but i would not expect to push any serious games, this would include trying apb at 1920x1080 60fps, i would advise trying the game at 1280x720 res in window mode with everything to low settings and then slowly up the detail, AA and Advanced settings may have to be off, Besides that i think from your update post you have a found a stable point work from so good luck.

If i give brandnew players all weapons, and the not yet created "M1Abrams" car and put them against random rank 125 silvers with just what they have now, the new player will still lose 90% of matches. This fixation on gear is a mistake all new players make, and this included myself back in the day. The game is not meant to be "perfectly balanced" because that would break the teamplay element where teammates have to account for the individual weaknesses and strengths of their co-players. Does this create shit moments? - Yes certainly. But it also creates legendary moments. Sometimes you're the dog, and other times you're the tree - nuff said.

I would like to understand why i can't play without an xbox live gold account too. I haven't been back on APB since 2013, but my PC is heavily downgraded on hardware side, so i hope to play it again on console, and i head that announcement about free to play games on xbox.

i love how you tack this on to the end of a post that would probably be removed from the EVE Online forums because of the very next sentence seems to me like you're mad at orbit even though they might run the only forum that allows you to repeatedly post non-constructive and toxic feedback - which they definitely do take into account, because there have been a whole lot of stupid changes to apb that could only have come from someone that keeps using the word abandonware incorrectly

The districts aren't large enough for truly fast vehicles. If everyone could zip around at 150-200 km/h, they would feel absolutely tiny. (Current top speed is just above 80 km/h.) As for the handling itself, I think it is fine. The vehicles feel weighty, which I believe is much better than arcade-y driving physics that other games have. Perhaps it's a tad extreme. In contrast, it also makes it a valuable skill to have. A good driver can make a difference in APB. Plus: Had RTW tried to go in the other direction, we might have ended up with Saint's Row vehicles or something like in Ghost Recon Wildlands (Beta). Ugh. I agree with the first two points: The entire progression system needs to be condensed. It's unnecessary fat, which was justifiable when the game was bigger. APB wanted to become more fast paced, more lean. The progression system didn't follow suit. About the third point: (tl;dr: there is a system in place to widen the length a player maintains their threat level. But it can not work if players of similar skill levels are segregated into different districts.) Just removing Gold districts is no solution. Removing threat segregation in general is important, but putting players of similar skill levels in the same districts is the key. They do work on this (and call it phasing, because players will be matched against each other across district-servers and then phase onto the same server), so it's primarily a matter of time. The threat system (I assume you talk about threat here, not rank) is not progressive. You do not "rank up" (or "rank down", for that matter). Every time you play a mission, your performance is evaluated against everyone else in that same mission (based on the score you reached). Following the conclusion, your personal "score" (glicko value) is adjusted. The coloured threat levels are a representation of glicko value ranges. A Gold player can be one measly point "ahead" of a Silver player. But each threat colour spans over several hundred points. So that Gold would be closer to the Silver than most other Golds, in terms of threat evaluation. One major pitfall concerning matchmaking systems is, to assume they'd be linear (i.e. skill only goes up). Rank is linear. The more you play, the more points you collect. Ultimately you reach R255, no matter how good you are. Skill is fluid. The older you get, the harder it becomes to maintain some skills (playing fast past shooters, for example). Not just motor skills, mind you, also time invested. For example: I just don't have the time to play as much as ten years ago; or at all. My account is probably still Gold threat (although it's supposed to degrade over time, if you don't play). If I started playing again, today, my threat would probably go down quite fast. R255 Bronzes can absolutely, legitimately exist. Back to your third point: "Widening the length of time a player maintains their [threat]" is (supposedly) already part of the system. It's a confidence value. When this value is low, your threat changes quite rapidly. This means each mission performance has a large impact on your glicko value (which goes up or down). The reason for this is, that the system searches for the most optimal skill range for each player. Once you start playing with and against people who share a similar skill level, you will reach similar evaluation results in each mission (which is not just your absolute score, but the relation to everyone else's). As this happens, your confidence value increases and your threat is adjusted less with each mission result. This means, you maintain your threat level more easily, because the system is confident it found the right spot for you across the whole range. But if you get matched with wildly different skill levels all the time, the system will have a harder time becoming confident in one value. And that's where threat segregation throws a wrench in the whole machine. As I explained before, a Gold and a Silver threat player can be closer to each other than two players of the same "level" (i.e. colour). But if they are segregated into different districts, they will get matched against each other less likely than two players who are far away from each other. For those edge cases, it's difficult to get a high confidence value and as such, their threat remains floaty. The same principle applies to dethreaters, by the way. They actively (and often unknowingly) keep their confidence value low, allowing their threat to rapidly degrade. Fortunately, it can increase just as quickly. If players were unable to manually select districts (like originally intended) and if districts would dynamically adjust their assigned threat range (as. in part, originally intended*), the entire matchmaking system should work much, much better than it currently can. *Originally servers would spin up dynamically, but have a fixed threat range assigned to them. As players entered and left, the actual threat range of the population would deviate from the assigned one. But more importantly, a few groups of high skill players would remain and drive out those experienced enough to quit the district and try for a different one, but not good enough to compete with those high skill players. Thus leaving only cannon fodder to those few groups. At the time, threat was primarily (or maybe even exclusively) based on mission win-loss-ratio. Win a mission, threat goes up. Lose a mission, threat goes down.

please fix this goddamn problem, it's been happening ever since I installed the game back in 2013 or so. and now it happens even more. I log in, play 1 or 2 matches, then boom; a window pops out saying "Ran out of memory!" I spent almost 1000$ in apb on multiple account. Stop stealing money and start fixing bugs ffs...

In my opinion: - Weapon roles should be less grindy, like 2x times less. - Also 16th role should be removed because it makes no sense. - In continuation, Chrome skin and slightly changed version of 3-slotted guns should be available after 15th role. - There is have to be kill count after reaching max rank. - 3rd level mods can be unlocked on 10th level, why not? - Every role should be account-bounded. Voila! Perfect game with less grind and reasonable rewards. At least account bounded roles will solve so many problems for veteran players and give no penalty for new players who just reached max rank and already get some kills and some roles gained. Also I have to say that game is not much p2w since half of Armas guns is complete shit. But 3-slotted version of normal ones give players slight advantage. However, EVERY gun must be useful on it's own niche WITHOUT mods, like Scout, N-TEC or JG. Just correct me if I'm not right. P.S: Heavy Barrel shouldn't have damage penalty at all. Buff it.

A lot of these threads are just beating dead horses at this point but in short - EAC definitely. APB has not had a more playable period than during the EAC period in its entire history as it had the all time lowest amount of cheaters across the board. And keep in mind that it was just EAC's client side alone. We never even got to utilize the server side which would have probably cleaned up 99.9% of the game. Every other anti-cheat that we've had on APB has been a royal disappointment as they just don't cut it. Nowadays we have even more rage hackers running around for months on end and nothing is being done about it even with tons of reports with proof (some of them even streaming the game/uploading fragmovies on YouTube), meanwhile BE itself doesn't catch it since its all private cheats, lots of macros and triggerbots which also don't get caught by BE for the most part. It genuinely is reminiscent of the FF days in terms of freedom for cheaters. And yes, I am sure BE is catching a lot of amateur cheaters upon login with some poorly made cheat but that amounts to nothing when they are probably the ones coding it in the first place and were simply caught on a throwaway test account. "BE has banned so many accounts" doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things because there are closets (and rage closets) running around Citadel constantly, barely ever being caught and having to reroll/buy new accounts where they proceed to do it again for another 6 months+ unphased. Its tragic that almost every time I see someone playing arranged matches/scrims on stream nowadays its just Hack vs Hack with at least 1 cheater (of any capacity) on each team.

Fairfight was not configured right. It was banning everyone who went over a certain threshold. I do agree that fairfight was the best anticheat, but it requires a lot of time and dedication to properly tune for the specific game. LO don't even have enough resources to work on the Beta. Going with BE or EAC was the more realistic option. The basics of FF can be within the server's code, like detecting speed hacks and macros. I noticed that on NA. Saw a few really old players blatantly cheating. I wonder if it's they no longer care about their accounts since the game is nearly dead. One even deleted their max rank crim and switched it to enforcer. I triple checked that they didn't do something like swap I with L.

There is only 3 ways to enter APB. 1. spam join like in the video. 2. no district to join at all = log out and don't play or make new account to play. 3. u log in and join a 38/39 district but that's almost never happening.

Like: Customitation Game Mission Open World. p5n5 system Exporting Characters Out of Bound stunts Dislike: Segregations Matchmaking Free2play system - what you want to see in engine update 60fps. - wacky things you think they should add to apb horses,motorbike, housing. rate apb 1-10 based on : - performance 5 - gameplay 8 (with MM working), usually 4 - community 8 (many friends here) - guns 5 (some one is good only at 120 fps) - items 10 (but they are never enough) - how much u love the GM n/a (they are nice in social, but i never played with them)

I grabbed the pack account bound. ...mostly for the animal suit

You can't really fix the matchmaking with how low the player population is, there's not enough players to choose to play agaisnt. Also, the game is F2P, meaning one can create a new account if banned when cheating, so it's gonna keep going. For the Engine upgrade... I lost hopes long, long ago. Peace.

I ain't about risk my account tho

Perfect example that each player has his own kinks. (I don't really grind JT's after I got crown on my main) Personally, I'm into Armas and all stuff in it, I adore account-bounded items and collect them, that's why I count Easter Classics Pack, recently included in Armas as a good move. LO have much chance to save this game, so why not support them just for that? If I was millionaire or so, I would sponsor it

you can try logging in a on second account aswell sometimes that works for me, also try to repair the game some times the sillest things can mess up your game

"Please be aware that repeated griefing will result in a permanent ban for you and all associated accounts." Key word being "repeated".

hi @imV hope youre well. Nice rig. some appreciation for you. 6core 12 thread feels nice right. so premade.. tricky (personal opinion) Your OS is out of date though, known as 1909 , the latest is 20H2. run your updater . So Wifi has come along way , but like everything there is a thousand options and configurations between the makes, they all lock each other out. another issue is if your actual "broadband/internet" connection is over "Phoneline" instead of satalite or Coax/fibre then you will always notice a slow down when everyone in your street gets home from school or work and begins streaming or playing games. its the same for the power grid when the tv ads come one everyone goes and makes a tea.. you say that if you move 1m to a side its poops out. this is your issue. Im a bit lost on this : your saying you "Cant" use a direct cable, but then say wifi does not work, you use a 20m cable , the only way you can get wifi. we need to separate the terms WIFI / Wireless = Is a type of connection with no direct physical cable but by frequency with many factors that can break connection. Ethernet / cable = is a type of connection with a direct connecting cable that can only disconnect by damage or hardware. Internet/broadband / ISP = Is referred to as your "incoming connection" or internet. - If your Wifi/wireless "up" is 0.75 then this is a big issue as the game relies on good connection in both directions, - always having an issue between 22:00 - 23:00 i would actually question if anyone in the house is watching tv the news via the internet? also check your computer if it is set to do update checks at this time? - ISP Caps / peak times can also be an issue,. it is different in other countries but many have a "usage" cap. if you download (in any form) of data to a set limit you may have your connection speed reduced. so if you play for 2 hours and youv unknowingly used 3gb of interenet data playing games, then this would be the result of your connection reduction. this would also account for the variation in timing. additional: having your game on C : Os drive. this is not advisable, but not priority right now.
