It is considered cheating if those edits are giving advantage over regular players who plays apb. Streaming with it seems to rub off the fact that LO doesn't bat an eye since "those skills" seems to grab some viewers and all they care about is marketing , yet except some new players every old player out there knows this is a clear cut advantage over when playing apb. So they should take action against these "skilled players" if not they should implement scans of config files if the edits mismatches from the allowed configs out there. Using an actual cheat is even worse but this is no better lol. Not at all what I was aiming to say. But I think there is still a bit of a distinction to be made between minor config edits, full file removals and cheating. Those are not all on the same level, imo. I would love to have the game fully locked down, but in the current state that doesn't seem like a good choice. RTX users for example are frequently unable to play the game if it weren't for config edits. There should be limits on what can/can't be changed, but that's not something you or I get to decide on. 58 minutes ago, wHisHi said: Alright, can you share the link to this launcher?

Yes this is exactly what I was bringing up , LO should make it clear on those edits if not this is so unbalanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you arent sure, I would recommend the advanced launcher. If you want to do your own edits, you can only edit what is edited by the advanced launcher. Anything beyond that and you risk punishment. (I dont know how strongly this is enforced, or what the penalties are) Edited July 23, 2020 by CookiePuss 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I dont know how strongly this is enforced, or what the penalties are) there is no penalties, if there was, half or more than half of the apb streamer would be penalized for it and would only exist few "skilled players" in apb.

Why kill the remaining population right ? I can't really comment on that. None of the streams I watch use forbidden edits. If you think someone is you can report them to LO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think someone is you can report them to LO. again we are coming to the original argument as the loop ends here , LO is not prioritizing this violation. How many times you report the same people , these reports do not matter cause as of today LO has no way of checking this . LO do not bat an eye nor the current anti-cheat system can detect these custom configs . Many of the streamers have [ removed effects_ particle , explosions effect ( the explosions effect cannot be seen on the client UI) , disable muzzle-flash etc.] So either you are just closing ur eyes or u must be using these as well , which are against allowed config limits. Some even have custom cross-hair from the shader config edit lol Sakebee disliking this wont hide the truth. Next time come dislike this being anonymous LOL Edited July 27, 2020 by Dead_Game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
