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!

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

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

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.

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

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

@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 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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone, We know many of you have been waiting for an update, and we want to be as transparent as possible. As you’re aware, the recent downtime was not something we were informed about or given advance warning for, but we are doing everything we can to get the servers back online as soon as possible. We are actively working with our service provider, and preparations are in progress. Based on the current timeline, we expect to have everything back online by Friday. This has been a difficult situation, and we know it’s far from ideal for anyone. If anything changes, we’ll make sure to update you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

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

Hello peeps, I had my fare share of issues with APB like anyone else here, but this time the game wont start immediate shutdown after clicking start from the launcher. Help. Thanks for your help in advance.

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 everybody, today we're releasing our in-house Gamersfirst Anti-Cheat, we have spent the last few months pouring all available resources into the project and are excited to finally release it to the public. However, this Tech is extremely advanced and is bound to have some issues so we're going to keep a list of all known issues related to GFAC in this thread! Additionally, if you encounter an issue related to GFAC we would like you to post about it in this thread and try to keep unnecessary chatter to a minimum as this is not a feedback thread. Known Issues: Some users are unable to launch the game while steam is open. (Investigating - For now users can launch the game by closing Steam prior to opening or using the "-nosteam" launch argument together with the APB.exe located in the Binaries folder) In your report please include the following: A screenshot or video of the error/issue you're encountering. Details on when the error/issue occurs. Date and Time of the issue. Are you using any sorts of file edits? (Configs) Your relevant Computer Specifications such as: Processor. Graphics Card. RAM. What kind of drive APB is installed on. (NVME/SSD/HDD) Operating System. Anti-Virus software. We may also reach out privately to ask for more details but the above should help us track down issues so we can fix them as soon as possible! Thank you for your cooperation.

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.

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.

Good luck with keeping streets safe in San Paro >_<

9:20 EST Failed to connect to both NA & EU World Server after successful Login Disabled BitDefender anti-virus ... Ran APB Launcher Repair does not appear to be a Client issue. Reboot Router .. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this.

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.

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

i tried everythink no luck at all.Any idea? I have updated repaird tho launcher and updated the GFAC no luck

No, but the launcher was bugged for most of the day and required a bypass to be able to play. It is down for maint now. The bypass: If youre using the G1 launcher - open FE install location and type "frontend LOGGEDIN=TRUE PASSWORD=" into the address bar, hit ENTER. If youre using Steam - same, but with "frontend LOGGEDIN=TRUE PASSWORD= STEAM=TRUE".
