Last time I'm bringing this up but when the SDK passes can we get the showstopper and the new joker store weapons cause people would be delighted to have better joker store weapons. Either way I gotta stop asking this. Also I had saw on OTW that the joker store was updated with new weapons and some even being from legendary boxes. It be nice if the first update after the SDK passes and we get the new joker weapons in the shop on the consoles. Sorry to keep asking.

Recently I got hold on few consoles which I play the hell out of. That is PS4 Pro and Xbox Series X. I tried them out on few games and enjoyed my time on them. And then said time with games later made me realize... there is APB for PS4 and Xbox One. So I booted my Xbox Series X and using fact it got backward compatibility with Xbox One I downloaded APB: Reloaded there. Went in... it was absolutely dead. Played a bit but every action district was empty... there was also no manual way to join servers... alright... went then to social, usually this are the most lively. Social was ABSOLUTELY DEAD. Zero players other than me. Looked at billboards, no players decals there... hell, they weren't even rented by players... I then went to marketplace to confirm my suspicion... not a single auction made by players. I then realized I got chat feature in there and used it to type /pop. Population 8. 2 enforcers, 6 criminals. Peak of APB week - Saturday Evening. Jesus... I booted up quickly my ol' good PS4 just to confirm suspicions. After few hours checked it in night as well. Population 5. 1 enforcer (me) and, 4 criminals. Same exact situation. I checked Europe servers at least, that is. I imagine NA servers aren't in better shape though. I never was more sad to see game in such state. While beautiful looking with not bad integration in my opinion but a bit on laggy side... it was dead. Here is my real meritum of this entire topic - APB on consoles is so dead I personally need to request for LO to take it down. I can't imagine it being other than another added cost and to no effect other than flex. It's dead, nobody plays it, nobody cares... Kill it.

Basically this will be a guide on how to work your controller for APB (on PC of course) correctly. This will also allow full control on senstivity which is missing by default, and drivng control, which is also missing by default. All changes will be made in the APBInput. ini file which is located D:\*InstallDir*\APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config. Note that you will need to have an Xbox Controller, or emulated Xbox 360 Controller for the game to support your controller. No additional changes will be needed. So firstly, you will want to ADD these lines into your file under the line Bindings=(Name="Nine",Command="Button m_bNine"). : Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftX",Command="Axis aVehicleTurn Speed=1.0 DeadZone=0.3") - This will allow you to have steering control of the vehicle, but its not full steering degree control (same as keyboard). Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftY",Command="Sprint",Group="Movement",OnFootOnly=true) - This is optional. If you dont want to keep pressing a button to Sprint, use this. Note that it will constantly sprint and will sprint no matter how far you push the analog stick. Next, you have the option to either add, replace or remove some binds to existing lines of code for the controller as some will already be in place. If you were to jump into the game as it is now, keys such as B on your controller (or O if you use a PS4 controller like me) will automatically be binded to FIRE, and cannot be replaced. If you bind a button IN GAME to B it will be 'Double Binded' and carry out the action of both binds simultaneously, so i suggest changing them or erasing it completely. Note that you shouldn't need to change change ANYTHING beyond the line Bindings=(Name="Nine",Command="Button m_bNine"). This is my binds for example : Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_Back",Command="") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_Start",Command="|onrelease showmenu") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_DPad_Left",Command="") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_DPad_Right",Command="") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftTrigger_Axis",Command="Axis m_fLeftTrigger") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightTrigger_Axis",Command="Axis m_fRightTrigger") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftX",Command="Axis aStrafe Speed=1.0 DeadZone=0.3") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftY",Command="Axis aBaseY Speed=1.0 DeadZone=0.3") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_A",Command="Jump") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_X",Command="ReloadWeapon") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_Y",Command="") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_B",Command="Duck") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftShoulder",Command="Button m_bNumPadOne") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightShoulder",Command="Button m_bNumPadTwo") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftTrigger",Command="HoldMarksmanShip") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightTrigger",Command="Fire") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightThumbstick",Command="") Bindings=(Name="Eight",Command="Button m_bEight") Bindings=(Name="Nine",Command="Button m_bNine") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftX",Command="Axis aVehicleTurn Speed=1.0 DeadZone=0.3") Next, you will want to change the lines; Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightX",Command="Axis aTurn Speed=1.0 DeadZone=0.1") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightY",Command="Axis aLookup Speed=0.8 DeadZone=0.2") To look like this; Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightY",Command="Count bYAxis | Axis aMouseY Speed=+5.0 DeadZone=0.05") Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightX",Command="Count bXAxis | Axis aMouseX Speed=+10.0 DeadZone=0.05") This will allow COMPLETE customisation of your senstivity, as it gives it the mouse layout. This means you can now change your mouse settings IN GAME, and the senstivity of the analog movement will change respectively. Now you should be set to boot up APB and either finish binding controls in-game or start playing! Please also take notice that this isn't yet a perfected way of playing APB on PC with a controller, as there are still some missing binds (car drive-by for example) but i will hopefully perfect this eventually! If anyone wants the whole file instead of changing your own i dont mind pasting the whole line of code here, just let me know! My in-game Character VaIkyrja (EU) Citadel
