Hello,

 

Linux is currently NOT supported and you should not expect to be able to play the game on a Linux install. This may change in the future but for the time being Windows is our focus.

 

Well,  that seems like a big F.U. to those of us playing in Linux for years who've spent a fair amount of their RL money in this game over the years.

 

I guess I'll go find another focus too then...

Didn't they say that they were looking into this issue with Linux before the new patch ??

Hello everybody,

 

today we're releasing our in-house Gamersfirst Anti-Cheat, we have spent the last few months pouring all available resources into the project and are excited to finally release it to the public. However, this Tech is extremely advanced and is bound to have some issues so we're going to keep a list of all known issues related to GFAC in this thread!

 

Additionally, if you encounter an issue related to GFAC we would like you to post about it in this thread and try to keep unnecessary chatter to a minimum as this is not a feedback thread.

 

Known Issues:

 

• Users get met with GFAC Communication Error C when GFAC is not installed on their main drive. (Issue identified - Fix being worked on)
• Some users crash when selecting their EU characters. (Investigating - For now you can select an NA character first after which you should be able to log into your EU character)
• The game does not start on Processors that do not Support AVX2 (Investigating)
• Some users encounter the following errors when loading GFAC: 2427 - 4003 - 4004 (Investigating)

 

In your report please include the following:

 

• A screenshot or video of the error/issue you're encountering.
• Details on when the error/issue occurs.
• Date and Time of the issue.
• Are you using any sorts of file edits? (Configs)
• Your relevant Computer Specifications such as: 
  • Processor.
  • Graphics Card.
  • RAM.
  • What kind of drive APB is installed on. (NVME/SSD/HDD)
  • Operating System.
  • Anti-Virus software. 

 

We may also reach out privately to ask for more details but the above should help us track down issues so we can fix them as soon as possible!

Please scan your system for Windows updates and try again.

Is it worth waiting for a game update that will fix bug 2427?

You will need to download Windows updates to fix Error 2427.

Somehow i managed to break the update process by running two clients side by side (OTW and regular).

Now there are multiple files located in the %temp% folder, which block the updater.

In order to fix it i have to kill them manually. You can add that fix to your updater (if for some reason those files are in the temp folder - delete them and only then proceed with an update process).

Hey, my current problem is that I can get to the login screen in-game, but when i input my login information I just get error code 8 (servers are down). The servers are definitely up during my attempts because my friend was playing the game at that time. I'm not aware of any GFAC popup ever appearing when installing or updating the game (I deleted the game, reinstalled with APB_Reloaded_Installer and also tried installing it via steam and I get the same error 8 in the game when trying to log in,,,,no GFAC installer ever pops up). 

On my other computer at another location where I have a different ISP I also cannot play the game. There I can't even launch the game, it refuses to update. Eventually I just get an error button instead of the start button in the launcher window. But I vaguely remember that at least there GFAC installation window popped-up.

Good job screwing legit players then. Then again, I rarely buy anything and most players think I cheat, including nullsec and chiting, so I'm probably more of a leech than a customer.

GFAC BAN list??????? or is this such an advanced super anti-cheat that there is not a single ban?

They already said they wont give out players who gets banned.

Next people will ask for general numbers of players who got banned.

Then, can we believe the data?

Endless No-Go from the community.

Well Matt did say he was considering posting Generic Stats.. ie
Number of Detections Identified / Sanctions Administered

 So nothing specific or identifying.

 

As far as, "can we believe the Stats that are posted",

that question was also raised in a previous post.

 

My thoughts are that if we cannot trust LO providing accurate Stats, how can we trust that 

the patch notes are accurate.

 

So many questions.

 

Time for another AMA .... ?

Here's another really bad issue with GFAC that needs to be addressed asap:

Whenever you exit APB there is a lot of mouselag on the Windows Desktop that starts right after apb.exe has closed itself down
(this mouselag only happens while the GFAC process is trying to close down).

The mouse cursor will freeze completely, and won't let you move it at all for a few seconds whenever this happens.

 

Sometimes the mouse cursor even get stuck permanently after quitting the game, requiring you to restart your whole computer
(unplugging the mouse or trying a different USB port does not help, nor does connecting a different mouse).

I only believe what I see, sorry LO.
