AFAIK now that it's 64-bit, all the stuff made for the engine upgrade will now work in 1.30 based on something Matt said recently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from testers (SPCT), what kind of volunteer work can be done for APB? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shows that you've been following the players and what we think/feel about the update. As for 2.x, I still think it could have worked. The way you guys were going about it was time/resource consuming. I guess I'll take you up on the offer and message you after a month or 2 when people stop blowing up your inbox. I'll help anyway I can and we'll go from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Erick 5 Posted February 22, 2023 Just re-downloaded APB after a few years of not playing. 2009 CBT tester here. Impressed with the performance. I got one crash over maybe three hours of playing during the mission, but i'd rather that then stuttering and long load times. It was seriously flawless - the hit reg was great (west coaster playing on east coast servers) and I didn't encounter any cheaters (unless I just didn't notice cheaters are so bad at the game anyways). Clan, organized 2x2 to 4x4 clan matches, leaderboards and ranked play. All it would take to get me back in. Then a nice slow trickle of content. I really hope y'all can start adding content at a quicker clip now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it a try and see if it's doing better for you. My game hasn't crashed AT ALL from x64 update. There are hitches and server lag still but no where near the amount it was before. It goes without saying there are problems also, BUT most of them are fixable by just updating DX9 drivers from Microsoft website. This is many for GPUs that came out the past 6 years to now.

Before you do anything further, first return the threats to the districts, otherwise this whole bunch of new players will stop playing. After all, it is simply unrealistic for beginners to play now.
