neophobia 216 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) When launching the game two new APB_Catcher_exe processes get created and they do not automatically get closed as you close the game. Intended behavior would be... well, maybe one catcher upon start or one upon crash - and them automatically closing some time after the game is closed. Since OP in created the thread in an off section and closed it since "the game isn't fun anymore" (which seems a bit unrelated, but okay), is busy talking about merging EU and NA and creating more threads... and didn't bother to submit a bug report instead... I figured I should. Edited July 18, 2019 by neophobia why tf does (dot)exe get replaced with "program" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mistweaver 18 Posted July 23, 2019 I got that problem too. So I always need to go to task manager to close the apb catcher <.> i hope the staffs will fix that problem quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doom32 23 Posted July 23, 2019 Seems to be a problem with me, (Could potentially keep me from launching apb even) *even after restart *going to try a fresh install for the second time ^ will update this post on how that goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffejrxx 3 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) if windows 10 fast startup is enabled it will not 'close' anything, it just puts the pc to hibernate and wakes it again https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup i made a short batch file to delete the 2 un-needed exe files before and after patching you will need to make a shortcut to the launcher and put the bat in the apb root folder, since any files in apb folders are removed during the patching apb.bat (change all the cd /d location to fit the apb binaries location on your pc) @echo off cd /d "C:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries\" if exist "APB_Catcher.ex*" del "APB_Catcher.ex*" ping 192.168.0.0 -n 1 -w 100 >nul @cls start "" "C:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\APBLauncher.lnk" :one ping 192.168.0.0 -n 1 -w 200 >nul if not exist "APB_Catcher.ex*" goto one ping 192.168.0.0 -n 1 -w 100 >nul del "APB_Catcher.ex*" ping 192.168.0.0 -n 1 -w 100 >nul if exist "APB_Catcher.ex*" goto one Edited July 25, 2019 by ffejrxx fix batch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackJana 14 Posted July 27, 2019 Yeah well, the exception handler seemingly doesn`t want to close after pressing "Exit APB" propberly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
