I think the Game is crashed. I can´t log in, either with the stucked account, nor my alt. account. Can someone confirm and can this get fixed? or is the game been taken down?

EAC doesn't care either way cause all the advanced launcher does is modify .ini files, its not a program that's running as you play the game, it serves the same functionality as changing your ingame settings through the regular options, you simply have more control. Not to mention that EAC has the ability to block config edits, they've already shown this by blocking shaders as well as upk edits (upk edits have been used to remove particles entirely) this is manually set up and basically tells you that if they wanted to block .ini edits they can absolutely do so rather than just making it so it flat out bans you for something they themselves said is an approved way of editing your graphic settings. EAC checks for injections into the game client, things such as overlays and patterns such as simulated inputs (Macros/Triggerbots), it doesn't give a crap about whether or not a line in an .ini file says 16 instead of 128. In other words, you are clueless if you think the cause of these bans is due to configs considering if they didn't want configs to be a thing anymore they have all the tools in the world to stop players from using them rather than flat out banning the accounts.

manual bans(they might have to 'clear' the ban list i.e. hit the ban button for accounts that reach the flag threshold) for cheating don't really happen. I'm sure LO might look at evidence(video/clips) if someone has already been flagged by the anti-cheat but for the most part both LO and G1 don't/didn't resort to manual bans for cheating unless your name was known.

I doubt LO had any input on the recent bans. I know someone who bought an APB account. First logging in they were not trade locked. They were able to trade all the weapons and mods to their main account. The purchased account got banned a few days later, but the other accounts they have did not get banned. Same PCs, no VPN. If LO went by IP or HWIDs, you'd think all accounts would have been banned.

The biggest mistake LO ever made was unbanning known cheaters and giving them their main accounts back. I love it when former cheaters come over to the forums to complain about cheaters then get banned themselves. I got nothing against anyone but when the game was active some of these people contributed to the heavy decline in population and people not wanting to give the game a second chance. I can see the DEVS unbanning some of their favourites but at that point I, along with the rest of the population would have lost all hope for the game. PS: Macro is also a form cheating

Crazy how everyone who got banned is either known for account trading or cheating (in the past or right now). sucks to be you

Oh Jim I am very well behaved not a single ban since I created this account in 2011. I mean I don't put unwanted items on my clothing, cars. I don't make multiple accounts just to harass fellow streamers. No configs, no third party software I mean I run a pure vanilla game. i don't be hateful no racism to be found i might curse on occasion but that's not really bad. All my years not a single ban gee I wonder why? maybe I am a model of the community after all.

It doesn't matter whether he did it once or multiple times, or if he was temporarily banned for it. If the company explicitly states that such actions are not allowed and considers them a significant offense, you will be terminated. It all boils down to what the company's policy are. Look at the sentence that was written here "Bans that we did not expect and that remove from the game that last healthy part that you had left of it," . This sentence indicates to me that LO - banned all the people that were considered the last healthy part of the community. Let me get this straight 1. You're unsure about the reasons for others' bans. As mentioned earlier, one person got banned for offensive symbols, now the question is what are the others banned for? if the individual got banned for cheating or toxic behaviour do you think most wil say why they got banned for? i doubt it. its an individual message u need to write to LO support to recieve that answer. if they don't want to answer u than thats the problem of the person who got banned in the first place. 2. You're bringing up gamers' backgrounds in the context of bans. You're highlighting that LO appears to take personal factors like someone being a responsible family person, punctual at work, or kind to their spouse into account. However, this is not the case. ban's can occure everywhere. doesn't matter if you are a good semarithan or the pope. do you think that a serial killer who has lived like the kindest person alive before he started killing would get a sentence reduction? ( im probebly going overboard on this but thats my thought about it) 3. You are comparing EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) to FFBans. One manual ban has been mentioned, and you're wondering if this means most people received manual bans. this can be true and also false. as you stil don't know if it was manual or not. its not that 1 person has a manual ban that you recieve a manual ban. This is basicly saying EAC is controlled by Tigg's at this point. concludes all cheaters are banned for not reason and need to get there accounts back becous unfair bans. 4. we know that LO has strict policy against bans in general. A zero-tolerance approach is not bad. What's the next step? Personally, I hold no personal agrudges towards individuals like Darleenko or anyone else who has faced a ban initially. If someone has engaged in cheating, displayed toxicity, or used threatening symbols or any other behavior violating the Terms of Service (TOS), it's their own responsibility. However, I firmly believe that individuals should be provided with a clear and explicit explanation for their bans. If it turns out that they are still subject to a ban, than it is said so. my opinion is that you will stay in the category of banned until proven wrongly.

I'm quite intrigued to learn that a "TGM" has been banned by the EAC. Such occurrences are rather rare, and it makes me wonder what might have prompted this action. It's always fascinating to stay in the loop about the ongoings within the gaming community and beyond. its funny that you mention that someone got banned for symbols. i seen a lot of people running around with symbols - making new accounts and streambomming certain inviduals with it. for me im happy they are gone. like you can't say that that is not a good reason enough to ban somebody from the game. even if it is a manual ban. i don't realy care about those toxic behaving people. so all bans that have been occured are all manual ? and added on EAC. so this must be that these accounts have been flagged multiple times and now lo is taking care of every account and checking them. seems fair. must be already reason enough that something is up with these accounts or something fishy is going on. maybe toxic behaviour. i dunno. i can not beleve that all accounts have been just manualy been added this would give me ffbans vibes where all bans were manual. but i don't realy think the bans are unjust. there must be a good reason for all these bans to happen. So all the individuals that are recently banned are considered "healthy" players? while those who continue to play are labeled as "unhealthy" players? I find this perplexing. It's difficult to believe that individuals engaging in toxic behavior, cheating, or using unauthorized programs could be classified as healthy players. you have contacted multiple players. OK ... do you know what they use on there pc? are those guys trustfull? have you seen what they used while they played the game in the beginning of EAC ( as these are manual it can be flagged maybe from when eac was implemented). its not like everyone is going to say oh i have toxic behaviour or i use bad symbols on my car or funny enough ... i cheat and use programs to modify my game. but it seems like everyone goes to the safe bet - VPN. Regarding VPN - The point being - If there's an anti-cheat system in place, using a VPN is not going to disguise the fact you're using any widely known VPN service. Check the game's policies to see what they have to say about VPN services for better info. I'm curious about what LO will have to say on this matter. It's quite possible that the only official communication will come from the support team. It's doubtful that individuals like Matt, Ritual, Sakkabee, or Stitchly will publicly address this issue, and there's a likelihood that the details may not be disclosed to the public.

Hello. I have had my account blocked for more than 6 months, it seems to be permanent for business and commerce with people. Honestly, this doesn't make any sense and I don't know why. Can anyone help me, any GM?

Yea it’s strange to see someone who’s been in game for 10 years + not known for cheating ends up banned while few others are still cheating lol classic apb. I use NordVPN to play apb and I believe most players use exitlag to reduce ping + better routing. The concerning part is not the program itself but the IP address that they assign you with and if EAC or LO set to flag these previous banned players IP address it may automatic flagged those accounts who are using it legit Can anyone in LO confirm this is true?

EAC Unfair ban, I also had an account banned by this EAC, I have honestly been playing since 2013, I have never been banned for using any program, not even when that ridiculous FairFight was banning almost everyone for no reason, this is terrible for an online game, losing veteran players over 10 years due to a serious Anti cheater error, I want my account back, you guys from support have to unban everyone because of this terrible EAC.

Do they even need to get unbanned they Could just simply create a new account and buy the weapons they want with real money

imagine every cheater who wants hes account back start new topic now..(i dont say this guy is just sayn)

Hey @Leenko I definitely agree with you about the current situation that is going on and I wish to see our LO CEO opinion about this matter this is hilarious that LO doesn't care about those issues until they will get banned by themself on their main accounts (if they even playing the game). APB Reloaded not even listed on EAC official website in case someone want's to appeal their bans, since a few people tried to contact them via mail, they received an reply that shows "you need to contact the game support", the LO support in that case, well, doesn't matter how many proves you'll show them and provide them whatever can be helpful to reverse the ban after the account has been banned, the only reply you'll receive is "the account is not eligible to have the ban reversed" and that's after they ask you questions such as "can you please tell us how much money was spent on the account in question?" to know how much money you have invested into the company. People get's falsely banned when they did nothing and by that our community getting destroyed, if LO bought the game they should understand why G1 sold the game to avoid those actions, such as LadyTiggs actions that she have done as example. Matter of fact, APB Reloaded has EOS version of the Easy Anti Cheat, I highly recommend to take a professional and deeper look into your community reports before you reply with automated/copy & paste messages, do your job best by quality in and less in speed, because by understanding the current situation, you unable to do both. Someone has to give us some official answers because this is going too far, most of us are nice and honest people, don't disrespect people and the community unless they been disrespectful to you. 2010 - 24.09.2023

no much point seeing how all my accounts are trade locked forever. that and the fact of what is going on right now. I seriously question what happened to the staff at LO. did californa have an earth quake and suck them all into the relem of the molemen?

Propaganda. OK I have Seen the knowns I will not mention cuz that is more against the rules than actual hacking is. I have seen them in district this weekend. I Can't believe there was any 'Wave' because there is Zero staff to do the banning, and I have seen these people. But don't mind me, I've got the dented head n been known to See things. Sometimes you see me post about warthunder n how i do so much better there. Well let me say WT uses EAC, I went Flying the other day, and the planes are the oldest part of the game. There were just as many hacks in the planes as when I started, I like the ships too. The ships are a different set of maps, the same type of hax can't be used there as with the planes. However WT publishes names of those banned, so it does ban some peoples. My point here is that I think EAC sucks, and its possible that all modern anti cheats suck as well. I believe that with a dedicated staff and possibly Dual anticheats, APB could be saved. The difference is that WT has a Large player base and you dont see the same people all the time, and if you do it likely they will be on your team one mission and the enemy the next. Ok I can't boot WT without an update or a notice or a sale. There is constant evidence of people working for the game and Doing things. Here we can't even be sure Matt's still breathing or if he has any employees. If there was some bans it was Too Little Too Late, n Ya like the other poster said They'll be back, with the same accounts and names. You have Zero updates on the subject, zero updates on content/more levels/joker tickets. You want me to fight Golds U Pay Lots n Lots of Joker tickets, not 10 tickets to feed. Let me guess, You can't up the pay for side jobs the same way you can't shut the joker up. You can't alter the games coding, why are U here. Ya can't stabilize the servers, ya can't show up for Work. Ah I better get off here, im getting angry

Hello, I have heard some concerns about potential false bans due to the recent ban wave. These are from people I have known for years and although I can not proof their legitimacy, I am willing to put what little reputation I got left into vouching for their innocence (when it comes to cheating). -- Looking into it, I have found multiple games with alleged hiccups in EAC blocking players. The most recent one being in Black Desert Online, where using VPNs and lag reducing software such as ExitLag would ban you until 2055. However if you did not use ExitLag you could log in as normal after some time. My theory here is that there could have been a false flag in EAC which caused an automatic ban in APB. Yet there seems to be no way of automatically undoing these bans once the false flag has been lifted. There is currently no way of appealing APB's EAC bans with either LO or EAC (from my research). It seems rather strange to me that players without as much as an account warning in 12 years of APB are now facing permanent bans. Before anyone asks, no, I am not banned. I would like to request a statement from Matt and the LO team regarding this matter. It seems a lot of people have been affected.

Normally programs like MSI AFTERBURNER and similar are on the EAC whitelist, such programs were reviewed and approved by EAC and are usually related to companies, other than that any programs that have interaction with macros, vpns overlays etc, or that edit or interact with the memory are named third party applications, which for different reasons can trigger EAC alerts, especially if they are run at the same time as the game and interact with it in some way. That is why you should avoid such applications and clearly others with cheating intentions. If you use cheats, EAC will hunt you down and permanently ban you from the game and if you are not careful with other applications you use while playing Apb Reloaded, they may trigger the EAC alert. My advice to Apb players, just avoid to use macro applications, vpns, overlays or similar if you are not sure that they are approved, avoid downloading unknown files or lending your pc to other people, or obviously share your apb account. If you have problems or doubts and want to know more about Easy Anti-Cheat, these links will help you. https://www.easy.ac/contact/ https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/privacypolicy Or the EAC video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI7V60r7Jco You can also contact Little Orbit's support, their link is : https://support.gamersfirst.com/ And obviously all APB players should also read the rules, terms and conditions from GamersFirst : https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/eula I hope this information will be helpful to everyone.

While i agree with everything that you are saying. I do not believe somebody would purchase something in order to make it worse. I believe their heart was in the right place. and tried out some new features that the community just didnt take to. I too would have given people accounts back as an olive branch. Even though it annoyed me no end to see certain names who got away with cheating, cheat selling and griefing for years. Yet players who stayed through all the mess hoping to see change didnt get rewarded for any of it. Threat segrigation worked and servers were full,why was this ? Mainly because it was Players Ungrouped Vs Players Ungrouped, the oppertunity to have fun, casual players vs casual players. Whilst silver servers were pre-made teams. I will give you an example. I have been playing this game since G1 took over. I only ever play Play Ungrouped. There are players that i only ever see in Social District. I have only ever played against them and never with them. Now if i start a new character and i go into a team. All the golds /abandonmission and i am left 1V1 . I created a new character the other day, the golds abandoned mission 7 times in a row. To make it even, just switch off this feature. G1 switched off 1 v 1 pretty much over night All people want from this game is a little fun and fairness. There is the other group of players that dont want the fairness as it gets in the way of their fun. Cheating, well thats just out of hand now and gone beyond a joke.

They ask me for steam. I didn't play through it. They say some kind of sentence. Which may be condemned, I have already given. They say it's inaccurate. And I don't want this. How do I find out which Steam I linked to my account? Merged. Hello. Can you help me with the unban? There is no way I can provide my Steam support. I didn't play through Steam, but they claim that I played through Steam. On Steam, where I have a game history, they do not accept APB. And other accounts that might have this game are also not accepted. And they don’t tell you the profile to which the account is linked. I gave them a lot of evidence that this is my account. But they need steam.

The grenade smoke is suppose to disrupt your view. They need to tweak it so it has less impact on performance. Same with vehicle explosions. You shouldn't need a current day flagship GPU on a 10+ year old game just to get normal fps. Ignoring a player needs to remove all their symbols. Only the base colors should be rendered for clothing and cars. Since you're talking about settings. They need to remove the administrator account requirement to launch the game. Move all the temporary game data, like the asset cache and logs, to the Windows %temp% folder. Move "Config" folders to the user's %appdata% folder. Doing so will mean Windows will automatically clear out old APB logs, and players who share a PC can have separate graphics options. Players won't have to put their system at risk by running discord or other apps as an admin when they want push to talk to work in game.

I wont go into full detail on this but. I know of a clan that was cheating for well over a year. Reported multiple times and nothing was done. It wasnt until another player joined the clan got the chat logs and reported them directly. Finally something was done. In 2023 there are about 5 active clans that have been cheating for over a year, nothing has been done. About 20 - 30 players (possible alts included). Everybody knows who they are, so much so that there is an other clan that is called "Clan A and Clan B are cheating clans" They have been around since early 2022. I have teamed with them and have seen them cheating whilst on my team. Because its so prevelent players now seem to think its ok to cheat because nothing is being done, they see the same players getting away with it day in and day out. Then they are being scammed by these cheaters who are selling them the bogus cheats that alert on EAC. Here is a chat below with a player that happened to. Needless to say, he got scammed for money, and lost his account in the process. Yes its his fault. Inaction of properly policing the game is causing more and more people to fall victim to situations like this, simply because cheating is being normalized. Its another customer gone. Whilst i understand EAC can be bypassed and is not 100%, dare i say its not 50% effective.

I grabbed it account bound. Got a Huntress out of a gold box as well so money wise it all worked out.

You might get your account banned for a charge back. If you record the process on twitch you probably stand a better chance of not getting banned, going by the current lineup of EULA violators on that platform.
