Support Emily Posted May 3, 2023 Support Posted May 3, 2023 Hello, everyone! Our standard weekly maintenance for PC and Console will occur this Wednesday (05/03) at 9 AM (UTC). It is expected to last between 4 and 6 hours due to more extensive patching for PC. Check out the supplementary patch notes below! Thank you for being patient during this period. See you in the game! Shader modifications have been disabled. Please uninstall any shader modifications made prior to this patch, as EasyAntiCheat will kick you for them. P.S: The thread has been cross-posted from Game Updates for convenience. 3 2
BlatMan Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Remove the blue filter on the shaders. It makes the game look washed out. Also add an option to turn off the halo, glowing effect when bloom is enabled. Currently, red looks orange. Black looks blue. The previous devs must have been colorblind.

What about Advanced Launcher? Is ReShade considered a shader change? Please we need answers 1

Is ReShade considered a shader change? Please we need answers Mostly text-file modifications are still deemed OK-todo. So .ini file changes related to game configuration can still be changed. No files under: Quote APB Reloaded\Engine\Shaders\ Can be modified anymore as these will be enforced and checked if they are. Advanced launcher modifies files located in: Quote APB Reloaded\APBGame\Configs And primarily the APBCompat.ini - the first bucket or Minimal preset in-game. ReShade is a post-processing overlay, that does not interfere with any of these things. 1 3
Ririn Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Why is it not packaged shaders? Then it cannot be modified. Or UE3 not packaged shaders? I can't remember, it was so long ago the appearance.

MACKxBOLAN Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Shouldn't be Any modifications of files at All. Everyone should have the same thing. Standard mouse and keyboard, no game controllers, no altered files, no crosshairs, no 'overlays', no nothing. How U gonna have a game that just anyone can open the files n alter them. How are 14yr olds out duping educated programmers? The word is that they simply bypass your eac. So either they are tinkering with the files or they are waiting till they spawn in to turn on their hax. Idk if this is what really happens or if its just rumor. Seems to me a anticheat should be scanning frequently for hax/3rd party program. The real pity here is these kids won't apply themselves, n use their knowledge to work in tech industry, wont clean their rooms, just waste away in a pile of old doritos n redbull cans. n if they die in they room, ya have to surgically remove their head set cuz its permanently affixed to their heads.
Spillra Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 when are you shiping out a standard apb keyboard and mouse that is the only keyboad and mouse used with apb?
Wasted_Potential Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 About damn time. Please do look into adding RTW style shaders as an option in the future

ReShade is a post-processing overlay, that does not interfere with any of these things. Having played with no fog/no muzzle/no smoke for years due to laptop performance, it's an odd feeling to see these are finally getting a proper lock down. Gonna miss the good ol borderlands pack though, gave the game a fun alternative look. An additional question I would like to ask is what about sound modification such as the RTW Vegas sound pack or removing ambience and dialogue? Edited May 3, 2023 by lZackl
BlatMan Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Your routing is screwed up on Financial US East again. Server IP 205.220.227.71:10547 Every single time this happens, /latencytest shows 66ms average to the district if it's US East. It suppose to be 33ms or lower. In game latency fluctuates between 0ms and 30ms. Other games work fine. Team Fortress 2, Rust, and PUBG do not have issues.
Mikezor Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 So no announcement. No news. Just turn off the servers at peak time?
Aren123 Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 shutting down servers during peak hours, you yourself are killing this game, do not say what is happening and when it will be restored
