Found the fix for the Battleeye/Direct X install.

[JohnNighthawk 51]

Go to your APB folder.

Go to the TPI Folder inside the APB folder.

Open TPI.xml with a notepad.

Delete these lines

 

<InstallerInfo>
<Name>DirectX</Name>
<DllRelativePath>DirectX\DirectXInstaller.DLL</DllRelativePath>
<SetupFileRelativePath>DirectX\DirectX_June2010program</SetupFileRelativePath>
</InstallerInfo>

 

and

 

The same for battleeye, not sure what exactly it looks like, but it should be the same, just with battleeye instead of direct X.

 

<InstallerInfo>
<Name>BattleEye</Name>
some paths about battleeye or whatev
</InstallerInfo>

 

Works for me. Only did a bit of googling.

Thanx and all... but you might consider adding this to the Guides, Tips and Strategy section.

I recently had issues out of the blue with the game, and had to fully uninstall and reinstall, in order to get it fixed... i dunno, but i think this new update sometimes messes around with the game installation files or something.

I never had any issues with it before 2017, when it all started: the round objective progress hud vanishing after a few rounds(Not F12), not being able to access secondary faction dailies of a district after the same rounds, the ESC button not working anymore included, all happening at random and all in a sole package. Although i'm having a silly suspicion that it might have something to do with my new keyboard Logitech G213, since that's when it started to behave like that, because i already had similar problems with it in another game.

Still waiting for a major update, cuz atm seems there are more bugs than fixes.

I never had any issues with it before, other than the activity hud randomly vanishing and not being able to access secondary faction of a district after a few rounds and also ESC button not working anymore... still waiting for a major update, as atm seems there are more bugs than before.

I'm guessing only admins can move it?

I am the source, if you do not wish to double click on the file then create it by simply pasting the following into a txt file.

 

Quote

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GamersFirst\APB]
"directX ShipDate"="04.18.2011"

 

Once done, save the txt file as a .reg <double click to add.

If you want to check the contents of the reg file I created, open it with notepad.

Much less fishy, thanks for enlightening me!
