Yapopal 161 Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) The game has a delay in performing actions (first shot, point capture, collision). The hitbox began to lag behind the character more and more. The inventory menu works very poorly. It feels like the server has started to work worse. Edited April 27, 2023 by Yapopal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ririn 5 Posted April 27, 2023 19 hours ago, MattScott said: Hi everyone, I'm going to make tomorrow's patch announcement. A patch is going up on the Live servers for PC. This patch will be happening on Thursday 4/27/2023. The patch is scheduled to start at 2am PT / 9AM UTC and will last 4-6 hours. GENERAL CHANGES: Easy Anti Cheat is now fully implemented in APB! Launching the game will install EAC automatically. Please continue to use the /report command to report cheaters, as always! Players can now choose to disable fog. This option can be found in the Advanced Video settings (note that keeping fog enabled slightly impacts performance) Day/Night cycle added back to Asylum Added the ability to disable Muzzle Flash and Magazine Casings. These options are in DefaultGame.ini, under APBGame.cVisualFX_Weapon called: m_bEnableMuzzleFlash=true m_bEnableMagazineCasings=true BALANCE CHANGES: Previously when nerfing the Colby .45, an extra 5m was accidentally taken off the range. After testing we’ve decided to keep this, meaning the Colby .45’s range will stay at 45m. Vaquero Gear 5 Topspeed increased: 1700 -> 2200 Coywolf VIP torque slowdown adjusted: 0.8 -> 0.94 (fixes ineffective modifier) FAR jump modifier changed: 20 -> 15 BUG FIXES: Implemented a fix for the ‘car bug' (the issue where exiting a car while drifting caused players to visually desync for everyone else) Fixed an exploit involving objectives and crouching at the same time KNOWN ISSUES: The achievement “Kind of a Big Deal” does not increment if you are already gold threat and your character existed after your account achieved gold threat Stalls can occur upon entering the Clothing Kiosk with “NEW!” items Tattoo layers are inversed, meaning tattoos lower on the list will cover ones above Thanks, Matt Dear Matt! Thank you very much! However, if you want to keep your players: The current matchmaking is a joke. Bring it back Gold, and silver disctrict. It is not a fair that 4 gold vs 5 silver. I know you're working on an alternative. In the meantime, I'm sure they would be happy gold and silver disctrict server. Ban botmek macro program. I understand that the EAC checks the running programs. This program is designed to create no-recoil. In other words cheater mouse. This is the same as the mouse program. Relative mouse X, Y, etc. Unfortunately, the Russians love it. Sorry my english. I hope you understand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought EAC was meant to ban all the hackers/cheaters but obviously it's just a second version of Battle Eye. Maybe if you report them then they will look into it and maybe ban them, but it should ban them automatically when they try to log in if their are any cheats activated. didn't even make it 24 hours, that's gotta be a new record Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlatMan 703 Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I can't tell if it's an improvement, but at least my xbox audio codecs don't get blocked anymore. EDIT: One improvement is EAC at least checks for a virtual environment. BE didn't. Edited April 28, 2023 by BlatMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forheadandy 1 Posted April 28, 2023 Sad to see you never enabled eac support for us linux users, I was just playing the game a few days ago it was working great... why not enable it?? eac makes it super easy besides.... i really hope you just forgot and this wasn't a intentional decision because i really like apb but i will not use windows ever again so i guess i will have to just move on and wait for you enable it hopefully someday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yukate 13 Posted April 28, 2023 Isn't the game runs now worse? Yesterday after the patch goes live I've had 55-75fps while before the patch 85-130. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a few months they delivered 64bit update and then a few months later they delivered EAC. Compare that to before where we had nothing for years. I had lost hope before but LO brought some of it back this year back. These steady updates we've been getting gives me something to look forward to knowing that this game is not abandoned and is actually being worked on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PingOVER9000 189 Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Sincerly I am still thinking for APB need a anticheat like Valorant or madly attached to the core or kernel.. especially for a company such as LO didnt show enough interest with very few server admins per server/ gamemasters and waiting over years to take actions for just updating an anticheat, clearly there isnt a competent or enough supported team working for updating the anticheat periodictly (which it shall be a foundamental for any serious publisher company, a comparison it's like in a hospital the administrators decide skipping the periodically maintanence for the scanning devices or sanification... no need a brain for understanting it's not a road with a good end-way... ) The hystory has the bad reputation of repeating, so it will probabily be the same again 19 hours ago, Shui said: EAC back.

BlatMan 703 Posted April 29, 2023 As far as stopping cheating, EAC is useless. The virtual machine check is easy to get around. Only time will tell if LO can utilize it, along with FairFight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only time will tell if LO can utilize it, along with FairFight. It took just shy of 24 hours for EAC to be bypassed by the higher end programs (paid/sub based from the usual places, and the private ones certain known APB clans use). To my own personal knowledge anyways, as I slept most of the day so it's entirely possible it was bypassed earlier than that. Taking this fact into consideration, I have very little hope that LO will actually change their stance on cheating from their current "publicly decries it, but doesn't actually do anything about it even when concrete/undeniable proof is submitted" stance.

MACKxBOLAN 423 Posted April 29, 2023 3 hours ago, Hexerin said: but doesn't actually do anything about it even when concrete/undeniable proof is submitted" Well its only been a Day or so, not to mention the server issues they had to work on. Yea I dont mind sayin that I became suspect of several that came in last night. Team was saying they were teleporting, n they all had that Gud aim. but I din't see any teleports or snaps, not enough to make me report. So today we join up with Twitch n figure out how to send proof. I realize that not everyone I think cheats, cheats. I also realize that what I can send may not be sufficient 'proof'. So We go into it with the idea that maybe I'm wrong, but lets let the Them decide. Possibly it comes down to it being multiple reports compiled from dif players that burns the cheater in question. I realize this takes Time. Not just to read reports ect, but for the eac to evolve. Correct me if Im wrong, but doesn't eac take some time to 'Learn' the particulars of a game before it becomes effective. Let give em a chance, all the while feeding enough rope out to those suspected to keep them playing and thinking You don't know they are Hax. telll em GG Have a Nice Day. Then they will go blatant and bold, n get caught. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
