Yeah we need Egg Launcher for one more week ^_____^

Will the period of the Egg launcher get extended since the launcher was really awful to begin with?

tnx God that someone told you and showed you how impossible this egg launcher was until this buff... literally no chance to earn 300 kills with it... now we at least got chance. tnx

A different problem with the Launcher but I think it is the same as Rivona stated. The launcher bars are empty and only the language can be changed at the bottom.

I'm having problems with the APB Reloaded game launcher ________________________________________________________________ For a moment I thought it was Windows Defender or the firewall, so I disabled them, but it didn't fix the problem. I also deleted a file called clientfiles.xml and tried to repair it. Finally, I thought my Windows 11 operating system was corrupted, so I reinstalled it, but nothing changed. The launcher shows a red square error message. I thought the problem might be due to a recent update. https://imgur.com/a/15CP2wh

Hello Karmen! =) Thank you i will try after i somehow fix this new problem with the game launcher For spring i newly istalled windows and game. Game launcher starts but not updating also i can't press repair button.

Hello everybody, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Wednesday (04/08) starting at 9:00 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 6 to 8 hours. Better late than never this patch adds this years Easter Event! Unlike previous years we are not going to be running an event that requires players to participate in an event on a non-mission district, instead we're going to be doing something similar to the Christmas Snowball event! Starting tomorrow players will receive an Egg-Launcher via their Mailbox that they can use to level the new Easter Event role which awards three new titles, the Easter Egg Weapon Skin, Customizable Egg Mask as well as total of 2000 Joker Tickets by getting 300 Kills using the new Egg-Launcher before the event ends in two weeks! Thank you for your patience.

The anticheat didn't run in Wine/Proton for me, and the last time I tried playing on Linux the launcher crashed. You need to use a Windows virtual machine to play on other operating systems.

playing on steam , launcher runs , dowloaded updates , but game won't open Believe this problem is with GFAC found this GFAC > Logs > Updater [2026-03-28 00:05:57] [ERROR] [] [FAILED] Failed: GFAC.dll - File integrity check failed [2026-03-28 00:05:57] [ERROR] [] [FAILED] Failed: GFAC_Service.exe - File integrity check failed [2026-03-28 00:05:57] [ERROR] [] [FAILED] Failed: GFAC_Launcher.exe - File integrity check failed [2026-03-28 00:05:57] [ERROR] [] [FAILED] Failed: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys - File integrity check failed Any solutions? Before this error game was opened and cant log in to char , instant logout and error was with GFAC , something with "need to update GFAC" , i'm just reinstall game and now nothings runs.. please help

The last time I went online (November 2025) the APB Launcher still worked fine, but yesterday I could not even update the game. The announcements here on the forum did say there was an Emergency Maintenance going on that was set for ~2 hours but obviously took a lot longer than that. So either the server issues are still not fixed at this time (just tried a few minutes ago), or we can no longer use the APB Launcher? The latter would be a shame as it gives the users more freedom with the game settings, allowing us to disable the useless loading videos (that I never liked) and tune all the graphic settings to our own preferences (and PC capabilities - though these days one can just set them to full). In any case I do hope the launcher is still supported and that the not updating at the moment is "just" a server problem. Hope you can shed some light onto this, thanks!

Updated APB to the Valentine's patch while waiting for Windows Update (KB5077181) (26200.7840) to download and install. (Also Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.139 (KB890830)) Launched APB, went to Social, visited mailbox to retrieve new stuff, went to the new Vault, pressed key to interact, game crashed to desktop. Crash reporter always gets stuck at "zipping file;" has been a problem for years. Exited. Windows Update KB5077181 finished; restarted PC. Tried to launch APB, received the GFAC Error ID: 53 as posted in an earlier comment here. Ran APB launcher again, this time selecting 'Repair.' Still crashed with same error code. Followed step 'b' in this post to uninstall and reinstall GFAC. Restarted PC. Tried to launch APB, received the same error. Stuck. Is this possibly related to the new Secure Boot certificates in KB5077181? Can't play event, can't receive login rewards.

Hello everybody, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Monday (02/09) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 8 to 10 hours. Introducing the Vault The Vault is a new account-level mailbox designed to store your rewards, promotional codes (such as Twitch Drops), and ARMAS purchases until you are ready to redeem them. Instead of items being sent directly to a specific character, all eligible rewards are now stored safely at the account level. This central hub allows you to manage your loot across your entire account. When you are ready to use an item, simply access the Vault with your chosen character to claim it. You can read more about the new vault feature here. Valentines Event 2026 Running from February 9th until February 25th is our yearly Valentines Day Event. Similar to previous years players will need to get kills with Valentines Day weapons to progress their Valentines Day event roles. Additionally we're going to be giving out 7 new titles throughout the event as login rewards. Learn more about Valentines Day 2026 here. Patch notes Adjusted the amount of kills required to unlock one slot and two slot weapons from the main weapon roles. One slot weapons are now unlocked at Role level 2 which requires 30 kills with a weapon type. (Was 200 Kills) Two slot weapons are now unlocked at Role level 8 which requires 825 Kills with a weapon type. (Was 1150 Kills) Slightly increased cash rewards per level for T1-4 contacts to boost APB$ income in the early game. Changed 0 Slot Weapon selector for completing the Basic tutorial to no longer be a selector meaning players get all basic 0 slot weapons permanently. Ever so slightly increased Tutorial cash rewards. Added 1 Slot Varzuga Rally XS vehicle as the reward for completing the Missions Tutorial. Added Modification package that awards 90 Day lease version of all basic rank 3 weapon mods as well as Clotting Agent 3 for completing the Missions Tutorial. Fixed an issue which prevented the "Join a Fightclub instance" tutorial step from working. Fixed an issue with the preset modifications on the Aletta/Gumball vehicles being reverted by accident in a previous patch. They should once again use Mobile Supply Unit instead of Mobile Radar Tower. Thank you for your patience.

So im having the same problem that appears to be prevelent in here. GFAC fails to initilize and when clicking start the launcher auto closes and the game doesnt start. I am running through steam and I am still using windows 10. I deleted all GFAC files and the launcher fails to initilize GFAC to reinstall them with anti virus off.

@MageLO unknown error gfac launcher app 3, error 53 gfac launcher. I have repaired the launcher, gone to files n updated gfac, still same error.

The Xmas Event was rigged, not just that the elf only came at night but the beacon having such gun levels that allow jumping or things that look like hacking without first informing the players of those special abilities. The elf contact lead to no progression of the contact. Elf was always at level 1. Lack of knowledge as to how to advance Holiday Role, was actually playing regular missions. This following a discord ban for no given reason and staff did nothing to get me back in. Was a great Xmas gift. Furthermore, No compensation for lost time on premium and or non prem accounts, for the excessive down time, dds, server issues prior to and throughout the xmas event. Then lets add in that either your anticheat was dysfunctional during the event or turned off and the flood of golds and cheese heads who took over NA. Lo's toxic buddys running people over, being blatant. Politics are suppose to be forbidden, yet I get all kind of political rage bait. I could go on for hours, but I'll leave it at this. LO has become part of the problem, they have sided with the toxics, the hackers, and grievers. They get not a Dime from me. Open Bronze dist for silvers and lower, reinstate me to discord, turn the ac back on n then we might come to a point of me trusting LO.

Hi, logged off yesterday evening. came back today, logged in and getting the Message, my Characer is stuck in a Social blablabla and is locked for 15 mins. Trying to get in for about 3 hours now. - Repair option through Launcher done - Installing GFAC again still the same issue. Someone can help me? Thanks! Carnova

The servers are coming back online now which mean's the Christmas event is LIVE! If you are having issues connecting to the login server please restart your games and run the Launcher again! Please let us know if you encounter any issues and keep an eye out for the announcement for the Christmas sale later today.

Fixed it by running the Repair in the launcher and the Update in the GFAC

Hello everyone, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Wednesday (10/15) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 8 to 10 hours. Halloween 2025 - The Epidemic Returns The spookiest season of the year is just around the corner and with it we decided to give Epidemic yet another run this year. However, we've heard your feedback from last years run about how tying the new rewards to a role requiring you to complete daily activities felt like a chore and really didn't let you grind the role even if you wanted to so this year we've changed the main role to require you to finish matches instead. We have also increasing the amount of Joker Tickets earned per level of the role from 150 to 250 and have added a new weapon skin called "Glow in the Dark (White)" as part of finishing the role! Additionally, along with Epidemic you can expect Trick & Treat as well as the hunts for Pumpkins around Financial and Waterfront! You can learn all things about Halloween in our dedicated blog post here. Joker M9S 'Pulse Check' We initially planned to release the Joker M9S 'Pulse Check' along with the Joker C9S 'Prototype' as part of the Legends patch - However, as the Halloween patch grew in scope especially in terms of Balance changes we have decided that we're going to release the Joker M9S 'Pulse Check' as part of the Halloween patch! The Joker M9S 'Pulse Check' is a fast firing, high damage Legendary pistol with an integrated XTD-7s Silencer helping you stay undetected while roaming the streets of San Paro - As with all new Legendary Weapons this weapon will be sold by Anne on the Joker Ticket store. Balance Additionally this patch we're going to make large balance adjustments to almost all SMG's as well as trying to find a better balance between where we want the OBIR and Oblivion to sit in terms of overall power. SMG Balance SMG's have always been rather situational in APB: Reloaded's overall gunplay with most players chosing more versatile medium to long range weapons over SMG's. We're generally fine with this approach but think that SMG's should be slightly stronger and more consistent overall than they currently are, thus we have tweaked most SMG's to varying degrees usually focusing on improving their base accuracy slightly as well as lowering how much accuracy they lose during sustained fire. This should improve how SMG's feel to play across the board and lower the amount of "feels bad" moments when using them past 15~ meters. We also want to acknowledge the problematic state that Shotguns are currently in with most shotguns feeling like they're not consistent or unfun to play/play against. We are currently also in the initial phases of a shotgun rework to address their overall annoyance of shotguns when playing or playing against them. This new design approach is still some time out but should hopefully place shotguns in a better spot for players but also for us to balance. PMG Accuracy At Ten Metres decreased from 34 to 33. Effective Range increased from 20m to 25m. Recovery per second increased from 6.9 to 7. PMG-SD Accuracy At Ten Metres decreased from 34 to 31. Effective Range increased from 20m to 25m. Recovery per second increased from 6.9 to 7. OCA-EW Radius At Ten Metres decreased from 36 to 35. Crouch modifier decreased from 1 to 0.9. Recovery per second increased from 5.15 to 5.18. OCA Whisper Radius At Ten Metres decreased from 34 to 32. Recovery Per Second increased from 5.15 to 5.18. ACES SMG Overall Shot Modifier Cap decreased from 2 to 1.5. CAP40 Radius At Ten Metres decreased from 36 to 35. Crouch modifier decreased from 1 to 0.9. H-9 Curse Health Damage increased from 105 to 111. Effective range increased from 30m to 35m. Marksmanship modifier decreased from 0.98 to 0.85. Overall Shot Modifier Cap decreased from 1.5 to 1. Jump modifier decreased from 4.4 to 2.2. Manic Overall Shot Modifier Cap decreased from 0.68 to 0.6. Norsemen Crouch modifier decreased from 1 to 0.9. Recovery per second increased from 7.1 to 7.2. Pistol Balance Reduced the delay of all traditional secondary weapons from 1s to 0.5s. Dev note: To encourage swapping secondaries more frequently we're lowering the resupply delay for secondaries from 1 second to 0.5 seconds allowing players to fully resupply their secondaries much faster. This change does not affect the Flare Gun or Firework Launcher. Act 44 Effective Range increased from 60m to 70m. Misc Balance OBIR Minimum Damage range increased from 80m to 85m. Equip time increased from 0.8s to 1.0s. Dev note: The OBIR has been underperforming since it had its damage reduced so we're trying to improve the guns effectiveness at range without reintroducing the same frustration the weapon caused prior to its nerfs. S-247 'Oblivion' Equip time increased from 0.95s to 1.2s Walk modifier increased from 0.25 to 1.10. Jump modifier increased from 8 to 16. Dev note: The Oblivion has been a hot topic and has largely replaced the OBIR in the meta - We've heard the feedback about the gun being a little too good at almost all ranges so we're pulling back on its Close Range power a little bit as well as fixing an unintended behavior the gun had which made it gain accuracy on the move. Joker SR15 Carbine Accuracy AT Ten Metres reduced from 22 to 21. Overall Shot Modifier Cap reduced from 1.6 to 1.4 Equip time reduced from 1s to 0.8s. Dev note: With the large changes to SMG's above we feared that the Carbine would struggle to be effective within its intended distances, because of this we're giving it slightly better base accuracy and tigher max bloom which should also make running Cooling Jacket a compelling option again. Miscellaneous changes Changed the priority layer for the following interactions to be on the same layer as that of interacting with your Vehicles cargo: Opening Doors, Climbing Ladders, Climbing Fences, Spawning Vehicles - Players will now need to look towards the object they want to interact with if multiple are present. This change aims to remove clunky interacts where parking a car next to other interactable objects would often prioritize the wrong interaction. Picking up task items is now prioritized over Breaking into vehicles to prevent a clunky interaction if an item was dropped next to a vehicle that could be broken into. Thank you for your patience and don't get spooked!

Some things I learned while troubleshooting GFAC after 10/10 Maintenance which included changes to GFAC. (thanks to the LO Dev for their help) Anti-Virus Programs: I was still having problems launching the game as GFAC was not loading/updating properly. I wanted to start with a New Install of GFAC, so I used the following steps to force a New Install. (I do not believe this is necessary, but I did it anyways) Some people have mentioned just to run C:\Program Files\GFAC\Updater.exe instead and maybe C:\Program Files\GFAC\update\GFAC_Updater.exe uninstall GFAC (run the C:\Program Files\GFAC\uninst.exe) - uninst.exe - delete the C:\Program Files\GFAC directory - Check the Registry Entries for and GFAC references - found the following GFAC references in the Registry - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Little_Orbit\GFAC - Backup the Registry - Highlight "Little Orbit" , right-click / Export to file - Highlight "Little Orbit" , right-click / Delete Reboot Computer This will force a New Install of GFAC. Started APB Launcher GFAC Windows popup for new install. GFAC install completed Pressed Start Then Nothing (no Game Launch) Disabled anti-virus (I use BitDefender) Started APB Launcher GFAC popup says updating GFAC Pressed Start APB Launcher disappears 2nd GFAC popup Loading GFAC Game Started I added C:\Program Files\GFAC to Bitdefender / Protection / Online Threat Prevention / Settings /Manage Exceptions / Add an Exception Then I added the C:\Program Files\GFAC folder Game was able to launch again with anti-virus running. I had also added the APB folder as an exception, but after more testing, proved that this was not needed, and removed it form the anti-virus exceptions. D:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\APB Reloaded But anti-virus programs ARE preventing GFAC from updating/running properly. Steam: APB is NOT part of my Steam Library, so this was a non issue for me. For those that have APB in their Steam Library, there were problems for those users running/updating GFAC. The quick solution for Steam users, was to close their Steam Client and this resolved their issue, and were able to launch the game. A more permanent solution for Steam users was the following: Make a shortcut for APB.exe -> right click the shortcut you created and go to properties. where it says "target" add -nosteam behind the file path, should look something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries\APB.exe" –nosteam One error that occurs is when the Game does launch,and you are at the login screen and see the following GFAC error. I would suspect anti-virus blocking. I would completely disable the anti-virus program as you test this. If the anti-virus program is the cause, you can add the GFAC folder as an exception. For me, the APB folder was not an issue for the anti-virus. If anyone has any other working solutions, it would be great if you could add them here.

Solved it. turn of any antivirus -not just the basics, but advanced options- and after you will receive an error from GFAC saying can't update. Go to the folder of GFAC in programs files and run the updater manually -if you have 2 files called updater Run them both- then turn the antivirus back on again. Now the game will run.

I fixed this by uninstalling GFAC then restering PC and deleting the GFAC folder in Program Files , then opened the launcher and let it reinstall GFAC

The game is mostly the same it was back in 2014, if that helps, just no marketplace, and no reward points. From what i know right now - its safe to say the AMA will be APB centered. I asked about one for FE too, but didnt get anything concrete [2nd quote here]. But there is a real posibility of getting FE info during APBs lucky day, especially since knowing FE players - there will be at least a few lurking there and asking about FE all the time. Whatever FE related info gets dropped on discord and not reposted to the forums by LO themselves - ill put it here.
