The Old Thread got 1,000,000 VIEWS+ Hello there! I'm still YumaKirosaki, a dedicated APB player since the release a year ago or so a billion years ago. I've always been fascinated with the art direction of APB, so this thread is dedicated to my attempts at replicating it. I recently graduated with a Bachelors in Art, Graphic Design Concentration and a Minor in Marketing, so it's kinda my goal in life to work for a company where I can use these skills. This post was last updated in 2014. I plan on updated it soon with recently works! Stay tuned. ATTENTION: THE USER "AlphaMeowMeow" ISSUED A CHARGEBACK AND STOLE MONEY FROM THIS COMMISSION. HE STOLE MY ART AND WOULDN'T EVEN RESPOND TO ANY MESSAGES ON WHY HE WAS ISSUING THE CHARGEBACK. DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY SORT OF BUSINESS WITH HIM. THAT'S RIGHT I STILL REMEMBER 12/13/2014 - It should be clear that this one is not much of my own work at all! Word did this desktop (which is also a render from the squad) and I edited it a bit. Please check out the original here As they did a FANTASTIC job. I suggest you give them a look up if you want some high quality desktops made. 11/10/2014 - Been awhile! Did a new desktop, based on a 3D render done by the rendering squad. Thanks to them! 1/17/2014 - Criminals finally get a 3D desktop too! 11/13/2013 - Silly CSA recruitment billboard/advertisement. Just wanted to edit my character's face again. Also did Rapid99 a desktop. (CSA Billboard Here:) http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/317/9/9/csa_recruitment_poster_advertisement_etc_by_yumakirosaki-d6u46gp.png 11/5/2013 - Asylum 3D Logo Desktop! This one is incredible with Windows 7. 10/15/2013 - Balkan 3D Logo Desktop! I am really loving 3D work so far. 9/29/2013 - San Paro Enforcer Background - Now With 3D! 8/25/2013 - First new artwork in a long time. I really do miss this game! I still have so much I want to do, design wise, but not being able to play put my ambition down. Did a custom ID commission for Zephyr Ezra.

Simple mouse partially designed off of the awesome Razer Mice (in shape). 8/31/2012 - EXCLUSIVE art again! This time a passport for San Paro.

Hi all members of the community. here i created a topic, about posting your art and fan art that is inspired from the game. simply post your art here. as a beginner of this, here is what i created exactly from game, the mail and i am working on it for texturing:

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my FPS in game. My PC specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design 6GB vram Windows 10 64-bit RAM 8.0 GB I'm using extreme cooling on my pc + coolpad, my power options are maximum performance, drivers are up to date, latency is 1-20, (>100 mbps) and everything else seems pretty much fluent. A few weeks ago I updated my GTX 1060 drivers and I noticed better FPS (60-70) , then i tried to download Advanced APB launcher, some things went bad, I didn't wanted to mess up and i reinstalled APB from steam and now i'm having 10-18 FPS on max settings and about 40-60 FPS on complete potato graphics settings with lowest resolution. It's strange considering the game is freshly installed. I know it's not optimized, APB is more CPU intensive and so on but I think there's a way to increase FPS since my PC is running AC Odyssey, Witcher 3, Skyrim with tons of mods and ENB's , Shadow of Tomb Raider etc fluently on max settings with amazing FPS. I'm looking for permanent solution but temporary things like Advanced APB settings, pre-made low-graphic configs and stuff like that are welcomed too (if they're legal, idk )

So ive had this problem for long and i don't know why , i started playing the game on Ultra and ive had 30fps , then swithed to low and i still had 30fps , went to minimal and 30fps is still there ! ive downloaded Advanced launcher recently and messed around with some of the texture i set them to the lowest possible (till the contacts look like a potato) and geuss what ? Still have ****ing 30fps now im sure i don't have an fps limit cause i rarely hit 45fps randomly , so is this just for me or apb got a bad optimization?

As suggested by in-game GM Yuvie, I'm posting this on the forums. Some of my fellow beta testers have had some issues not long ago with Battleye falsely flagging specific AMD Vanguard drivers (drivers being tested by us). This apparently doesn't apply to publicly released drivers. Sadly I cannot disclose any information about these drivers, but having never experienced any issue with Battleye myself, what should I expect ? Is my account at risk or will Battleye just block my drivers whenever I try to start APB ? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I haven't found any solutions on this forum nor on the internet, so I'm posting here. My issues are quite simple: - The first one is about civilians. When they are far from me and in a dark area, they are surrounded with green pixels, green dots (a great majority of them around their legs and crotch). - The second one is about car decals and characters. I saw one player whose character was nothing but a big flashy green brick, which made it hard to aim. I also saw a few cars which had decals, but could not see them until I was at CQB range (that is to say, the car was plain aluminium or metallic until I got on its roof). A friend mine using older and weaker components does not have these problems. I am running on an i5-7600k 4.3 ghz, a MSI Geforce GTX 1060 6GB with a MSI Z270 Gaming Plus (16gb RAM of course) on Win10 64Bits. I am providing three screenshots which explain some of these issues: https://ibb.co/tLxBk1R https://ibb.co/hy1H76r https://ibb.co/xzPKcRc Indeed, I have already tried to: - Uninstall/Reinstall - Repair the game - Update NVIDIA drivers - Update Windows 10 - Change graphic settings Since I ran out of option, I am coming here hoping for a savior to my little problems some of which are complicated to deal with under certain circumstances. Regards,

Hey there, so I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my game's decals as my char/car decals looks really blurry and pixelated. Previous Approaches :- 1- Delete Config folder from APB Game and Engine folder then repair using the game launcher. 2- Use advanced launcher and set quality to ultra. 3- Optimizing my Nvidia Control Panel 3D settings. 4- Reinstalling programs in TPI folder. 5- Manually editing the .ini files in the config folder. 6- Spending 3-4 hours daily surfing the web for an answer. 7- Running the game with stock settings and Advanced Launcher settings on an M.2 SSD with and without a symbolic link to an HDD for the Assetcache folder. 8- Running the game with stock settings and Advanced Launcher settings on both of my HDDs. 9- Running the game with stock settings and Advanced Launcher settings on a 12GB Ram Disk. Proposed Approches :- 1- Complete reinstall of the game (Currently having internet issues so that's not really an option). 2- Your suggestions ? PC Specifications(TEMPS ARE WHEN THE GAME IS RUNNING) :- Operating System Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit Version 1703 OS Build 15063.1155 CPU AMD Ryzen 7 1700 77 °C (Stock 3GHz OC'd to 3.7 at 1.3375V) Summit Ridge 14nm Technology RAM 24.0GB Dual-Channel Crucial Ballistix Sport LX RED (2400Mhz OC'd to 2800Mhz) @ 1399MHz (16-18-18-38) Motherboard Micro-Star International Co.

Aliasing on the edges of the car decal. Low quality black color. Blurry number plates. This one is ridiculous. Notice the BEWARE decal? that's what I'm talking about. Notice the RAPID99 logo and low quality textures as well as the poor shadow quality?

APB with significantly better graphics without any engine upgrade? Maybe some of you already heard or even played some all time classics like Portal or Half Life lately which have been remastered with Nvidia's technology RTX Remix. It's a technology which supports games starting with DirectX 8 and newer. This should include APB since it's running on DirectX 9 as far as I've read it in the system requirements. I understand that some of us might not enable it in matches because of it's downsides regarding frame rate. But speaking as a content creator, this might give us a huge quality boost for our content resulting in making the game more appealing to a wider audience. At least until we get a real native overhaul regarding lighting, textures and so on. @MattScott Any thoughts about the practicality of this solution?
