Ketog 1034 Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) Event powered by Wave Lounge ! ย ย ย ย ย Hey, Ketog from Wave Lounge here, welcome to yet another Wave Lounge event, this is the second edition of the Hypermetrics contest, the last one was already a year ago ! For this second edition, there will be a few rule changes, and before proceeding, i'd like to say that this is also probably the last event that will be by Wave Lounge, while i will still be making events, the futures ones are gonna be powered in SPPA's name, our clan is now old and inactive, so it's simply better we redirect people where we think they belong, and SPPA perfectly fits the bill =), now, to the event ! The Hypermetrics Contest ย This event is pretty simple and straight forward, it's how we do it at Wave Lounge, the goal you might ask ? Get the highest possible FPS in APB, that's it, that's the event, yup. All you have to do to win is reach the highest possible FPS in APB with a few rules: ย 1) You must provide a complete screenshot of your game with performance metrics (any overlay of your choice) 2) You must be in an online district (yes social and fightclubs do count), that means no login screen trickery 3) For your first submission, you must specify whether you're competing for the prize or not, you cannot change your choice afterwards. ย The rules are subject to change if some player finds a loophole, so we take the right to change the contest's rules to keep it fair, and give the win to the player that actually deserves it. ย The event will run from the date of which this post is published, up to the 8th January 2025 ย What can i win and how do i participate ? ย The rewards are located on Citadel (EU), you can participate if you're on NA, i however, won't be able to provide any rewards. ย The winner with the highest FPS score will get the following: 1) 1 000 069 APB$ 2) Mystery Theme 3) box of Exfluencisยฉ ย ย The prize might increase as we get sponsors from other clans and/or donations from players, If you wish to donate to the cash prize, please message me on this forum or on discord @Liarus ย If you wish to participate, you will have to either join our discord and submit your screenshot in the submissions channel or DM me said submission (@Liarus), for me to take it into account, your submission will then appear on the leaderboard, the prize will be given to the competing player with the highest score ย Tips So you might be wondering "how do i achieve such a high FPS that isn't possible! Well here's a few tips so you can stand a chance against other competitors: ย - One of the most significant settings to get higher FPS is to use No GC configs as well as Double Buffering ON - The second one, is to go somewhere where the map is rendered as little as possible (exemple, back of the social district) - Third one, is to use OTW, yes Open Test world, which is currently publicly open, so you have no players loaded - And last, things that can help is running at a lower resolution, having a debloated system, overclocking for single core performance. ย ย ย ย As an extra little note, I'm still planning on running this little contest every end of the year as a fun way to gather performance metrics related to APB over time. Have fun tweaking, breaking, experimenting with APB, there is no other rules other than what's currently listed, however stay up to date with this post for the latest news! ย Edited December 31, 2024 by Ketog 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
