what mack? no no it works 100% of the time! there are no speed hackers or aim bots or wall hackers in APB anymore. of a certain clan of clans who always cheats. none of that. GFAC has worked flawlessly and is fully unhackable! they just been playing for ten years and just happen to know excatly where you will spawn, and that is also why they never ever miss a shot. It's also why they use SR15/VBR and can fire it faster then a CJ 3 SHAW. Your silly mack you know that? You should just buy more joker tickets with G1C and get better at this game.

Yes I saw them in eu, 100s of them, i went to eu because the same hax if they banned just reroll a similar name, 

and continue to keep the game only for hackers, but there were way more many golds there in eu.

Then the game is down most of the time to regrind in eu and pay at 200ms because lo won't ban actual cheats. 

Only legits from discord. Ya follow me. 

 Add in the nurses went on strike and they referred me to an outside agency to do chemo, after i drove down there 

twice and got cancelled. Meaning to get this one treatment i was due for 2 weeks ago, ill need to go elsewhere and go 

for 3 more appt's and trips to get started there. So I have now refused further chemo. 

Im not going thru it all again if LO is letting golds run what should be bronze district. 

Its all a big ring of thieves, n if you dont buy hax they tell ya to uninstall on discord. 

And ya know gfac is a joke by the number of golds.

So imma uninstall life because of the golds urgent need to stop legits from playing.

They sure as hell dont want legits in discord. 

So you golds and matt can take what used to be a game, and shove it.

I'll be in there n wont even bring a gun.

• Updated APB to the Valentine's patch while waiting for Windows Update (KB5077181) (26200.7840) to download and install. (Also Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.139 (KB890830))
• Launched APB, went to Social, visited mailbox to retrieve new stuff, went to the new Vault, pressed key to interact, game crashed to desktop.
• Crash reporter always gets stuck at "zipping file;" has been a problem for years. Exited.
• Windows Update KB5077181 finished; restarted PC.
• Tried to launch APB, received the GFAC Error ID: 53 as posted in an earlier comment here.
• Ran APB launcher again, this time selecting 'Repair.' Still crashed with same error code.
• Followed step 'b' in this post to uninstall and reinstall GFAC. Restarted PC.
• Tried to launch APB, received the same error.
• Stuck.

Is this possibly related to the new Secure Boot certificates in KB5077181?

 

Can't play event, can't receive login rewards.

Hello, please head over to your GFAC install (C:\Program Files\GFAC by default) and manually run the Updater.exe which should resolve the issue.

Indeed, it did. Thanks.

Any form of anti cheat will work miracles when the entire game code was taken by a cell phone and released into all cheats to effectively have a free pass through said anti cheat.

Tengo el mismo problema y lo he intentado todo. Sigo pensando que el problema debe deberse a las actualizaciones recientes, y no creo ser el único con el problema de GFAC. ¿Alguna ayuda?  https://imgur.com/a/NWinhy4

Hi there, i recently tried to launch apb after 2 years, but i get an error after i try to launch the game through the launcher or not.

 

 

- The error occurs after i press the "Launch" button from the APB Launcher.
- 17.04.2026, 2:44 PM.
- I do not use any file edits.
- My computer specs:
     - Intel Core 2 Duo E7300, 2.66 Ghz.
     - ATI Radeon R7 250x.
     - 4 GB RAM
     - APB is installed on a HDD.
     - Windows 7, 64 bits, Service Pack 1.
     - No Anti-Virus software.

Note! I must say that APB worked well for me with the above computer specs, till the "New Horizon" update.

It's mostly likely due to Windows 7. Modern anticheats require components from Windows 10. It might work with the extended kernel patch. 

 

APB probably won't run well on that PC. The RAM requirements have increased due to the added content and update to 64 bit.

I understand, thanks for the answer.

I used to launch the game using the launcher and everything was relatively good. Today I added the game to the Steam library. installed it. The startup attempt was interrupted by the error message "gfac service error 214 system 5". The search for a solution yielded no results. I reinstalled and updated the anti-cheat, changed the registry, deleted files in the "appdata" folder. I disabled the anti-cheat and checked the firewall settings. Your GFAC creation is always causing problems, you always need to explore the dungeons of the darknet and go three ways to nowhere to launch this creation of sticks and clay. What does this error 214 mean? Why is there no explanation? How can I do anything if I don't get any objective information from your creation? Do you understand that I'm not alone? It's just that most people will forget about it and delete the result of your worthless work from the library.

Subject: APB Reloaded BSOD Report – Potential GFAC Anti-Cheat Driver Issue (0x139)

Hello APB Reloaded Support Team,

I am reporting a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue that occurs while playing APB Reloaded on Steam. After analyzing the Windows minidump using WinDbg, I found that the GFAC anti-cheat driver appears in the crash stack. I would appreciate it if your technical team could investigate this issue.

1. System Configuration

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E

GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5090

Power Supply: ASUS ROG Thor 1200W

Memory: 16 GB DDR5-6000 CL28 (1 × 16 GB)

Memory Profile: AMD EXPO enabled

Operating System: Windows (exact edition and build available upon request)

Game Platform: Steam

2. BSOD Details

The system encounters a BSOD and automatically restarts while playing APB Reloaded. Other games generally run normally, and the issue appears to be primarily associated with APB Reloaded.

WinDbg analysis returned the following information:

Bugcheck Code: 0x139 – KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE

Parameter 1: 0xA – GUARD_ICALL_CHECK_FAILURE

Process Name: APB.exe

Failure Bucket: 0x139_a_GUARD_ICALL_CHECK_FAILURE_win32kfull!GreProtectSpriteContent

Windows Module: win32kfull.sys

Driver in the Crash Stack: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys, at offset +0x49aa

The crash stack contains the GFAC driver and a Windows graphics-related kernel function. This raises the possibility of a driver compatibility or interaction issue, although the available minidump does not conclusively establish the root cause.

3. GFAC Driver Information

Driver File: GFAC_Sys_x64.sys

File Path: C:\Program Files\GFAC\GFAC_Sys_x64.sys

Installed Version: 0.2.3 build 1

File Timestamp: July 8, 2026

Digital Signature: Valid; signer identified as Little Orbit Inc.

Updater Status: The updater reported that the installed files passed integrity checks and that no update was required.

The GFAC service was observed in the STOPPED state during a diagnostic check after reboot. Its state at the time of the crash is unknown.

4. Troubleshooting Findings

Other games on the same PC generally run normally.

The crash dump identifies APB.exe as the active process.

The failure is classified as GUARD_ICALL_CHECK_FAILURE.

The GFAC driver appears in the crash stack.

The available file-integrity checks did not report a problem with the GFAC driver files.

The current evidence does not prove that GFAC is the definitive cause, but it provides a specific lead for further investigation.

5. Request for Technical Investigation

Could your technical team please investigate the following?

Whether this BSOD pattern is a known issue involving GFAC.

Whether GFAC version 0.2.3 build 1 has any known compatibility issues with current Windows versions.

Whether the GFAC driver could be involved in the failure path containing win32kfull!GreProtectSpriteContent.

Whether a newer driver version, official workaround, or additional diagnostic procedure is available.

Crash Dump: C:\Windows\Minidump\101926-15062-01.dmp

I can provide the original minidump and additional diagnostic information if required.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Best regards
