03/15 Maintenance Announcement (Build#1359)

Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone,

 

Our regular APB maintenance for PC and Console will be held tomorrow (3/15). It will start at 9AM UTC and it is expected to take up to 4-6 hours. Here's what to expect with the incoming patch:

 

BUG FIXES:

- Implemented a potential FPS speedup with ALT-TAB,

- Implemented a potential fix for a hang experienced when re-initializing a GPU device on the spawn screen,

- Implemented a potential fix for the client issue resulting in lower performance (if the issue is still present, it can sometimes be fixed by swapping from Windowed/Windowed Fullscreen mode to Fullscreen mode, then swapping back to the desired display),

- The Obeya "Heartbreaker" Valentine's Day Weapon is classified as a Marksman Rifle outside of the holiday event,

- The "Valentine's" category no longer appears in-game in the deploy menu,

- The in-game support URL (F1) points to the proper URL.

 

GENERAL CHANGES:

- Rebuilt (and permanently set to nighttime) the Asylum map's lighting. Atmosphere!

- Districts with fixed time of day cycles now properly toggle (on or off) time-activated spotlights.

- Tweaked the Vegas G20's suspension to be more stiff.

 

KNOWN ISSUES:

- Applying settings in-game can also occasionally cause performance issues. These can be fixed by a restart.

- Some roles will occasionally show incorrect values (i.e., the "Mugger" role showing a progression of 1000/50).

- Explosions will go through some very thin walls (cars potentially can explode even if a rocket is shot at them from behind a wall)

- Minor instances of certain non-light source objects casting light in Asylum.

 

Thank you for your patience during the maintenance period.

 

See you in game!

But why? The sun should light upon us every now and then.

 

Moreover, couldn't this permanent nighttime setting wait till the known issue is addressed?

Can't wait for the drastically negative effects this is almost certain to have on the already horrendously inconsistent stability of the Vegas.

Which brings up the question of "why?"

Weird, I thought it's a fix to compensate for the 4x4 suspension becoming more bouncy after the 64bit update

The idea was to make the Vegas better when compared to the 4x4, similar to how you might want to see the Veo buffed but not the Coywolf.

Fix or Silence that damned Joker voice. I don't know how loud we have to be about this.

Everyone is asking for it, its louder than before n ruins any combat near a ammo machine, n blows your ear drums out if you're using a head set.

Then I wanna add that the Vegas issa pos cuz they nerf the wheelies. We used to have standing wheelies down the street with nitro.

  Ya nerfed it cuz a certain player that hung by double B used it to troll n flip other cars. That player is long gone.

How bout our wheelies back ?

 

Merged.

ya the 2 wheel drive sucks, its like driving a damned U-haul truck or pullin a trailer, I'd rather drive a pancake growl that

the 2WD vegas. 

 Ya'all have no respect for what a muscle car is, for one thing any 4x is gonna be way heavier.

 The 2wd should be powerful, sprinty but be more unstable in turns or slides.

and due its lighter weight should do wheelies easier than the 4x without all the weight of the 

front drive train, and take off quicker

Other than that, interesting changes. Wish you guys could buff the less popular vehicles like the Sentinel and the low end starter cars. Hope we dont have to wait years for these small improvements.

This one was my personal project that was done for APB however it's unfinished and needs texturing.

Not speaking about setting up missions and general balance that needs to be done for this to actually work.

I mean I still have all the files and stuff but actually implementing this will be A BIG task...

For excessively long maintenance, it would be nice for players to be compensated in the style of 100 joker tickets or something like that.

I haven't noticed a difference whatsoever when it comes to the 4x4.

Not everyone plays on potato config settings. You'll be surprised good chunk of us do play at max settings... Since upgrade to 64-bit alot of places the baked lighting is just awful at alot of places in all the maps we play in.
