bugs and issues APB Login and District Crash

[MsWolfy 0]

Hey guys and gals, I’ve been running into a frustrating issue with APB Reloaded since this morning. The game loads to the menu just fine, but I’ve noticed way more stutter and latency compared to yesterday. The real problem starts when I try to log in with my Gamers First account—it freezes and hard crashes straight to my desktop. Oddly enough, when I use my Steam-linked account, it logs in instantly, and I can see my character. However, as soon as I try to load into the Social District or Waterfront, I crash to the desktop again.

 

I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing seems to work. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

-) Cleared cache-related files in the %localappdata% APB Reloaded folder (while avoiding saved settings unless necessary).

-) Uninstalled and reinstalled the game to ensure the install directory was clean.

-) Adjusted RAM usage to help the game load faster—but this didn’t fix the login or district crash issues.

 

It might be related to the game servers or how they handle memory, but even with high-end components, I’m still stuck with these crashes.

If anyone has insights, tips, or fixes, I’d really appreciate your help!

Alright, I found an easy fix... so here’s something I was final able to figure out that might help anyone dealing with crashes when logging into their Gamers First or Steam account for APB Reloaded. I went through this myself, and it was super frustrating to deal with, so here’s what worked for me. Sometimes, the game itself needs a quick repair before you launch it. To do this:

 

1) Start up the APB launcher but don’t click "Join" yet.

2) Look at the bottom-left corner of the launcher and click Options.

3) You'll see a Repair button near the bottom-middle of the panel—click it Then restart the launcher when finished repairing. (This checks for any corrupted or missing files and fixes them.)

 

Now, if that for some reason didn't solve the crashing, here’s another step that also worked for one of my friends:

1) Drop your graphics settings to the lowest possible options in-game.

2) Disable VSync (this can sometimes cause issues.)

3) Close any unnecessary apps or browser tabs. APB is a bit demanding on your RAM, and having random stuff open can cause crashes when loading into districts and accounts. Once you’ve done this, you should be able to log in without crashing. (You might experience a little lag or stuttering when loading into a district, but it should pass fairly quickly.) If you’re still crashing even after trying everything I've said, your last resort is to verify your game files through Steam or manually. This can catch any remaining problems. I really hope this helps someone out there!
