They probably just focusing on the matchmaking system and the problems this create for missions.

 

New content, that's still a dream so far. :C

the patch brings the new gfac version 1.0 obviously..

[Yapopal 207]

The anti-cheat update failed, the game does not allow you to go beyond the character selection menu. The problem with Kaspersky anti-virus has not been resolved. I still have to turn it off in order to update the game.

Because leaving after significant investment and time, and leaving means letting the hackers win. 

Who are to me irl, criminals and bully thugs, if the guns just worked more realistically for legits. 

Bad people like that all over the world, I can't really go to the city and do the Vigilante thing, 

but here I can. Guns dont do much to hackers, so I don't need one, but I can be passively annoying. 

They will Pay

passive aggressive, you have to borough into the sociopathic mind of the hacker.

Now when the hacker realizes that they've become a victim of sociopathic/torturous act, 

They become psychotic and or 'Triggered' as u kids say.

First thing imma do is duck tape all the toilets in san paro shut. 

Then I'll go strolling by double b's with a bag of chili-dogs n wait get mugged.

Touch some grass or something; this game isn't worth getting mad about.

Myself, and many others, have not been able to play APB since the GFAC 1.0 release.

Tried all of the troubleshooting methods that have been suggested.

 

Even got the proverbial BSOD blue screen a few times.

(this was a generic screen shot, my msg on the blue screen was 

"Page fault in nonpaged area" error

 

 

 

Ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic - Check, no issues

Ran the chkdsk <driveletter>: /f /r - Check  (took 3hrs) fixed some issues

Ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth - Check

Ran sfc /scannow - Check   (1st time no issues, 2nd time after 4th GFAC install found issues and fixed)

 

During this process in trying to get APB to run, I would experiencing some issues that the following tools fixed, 

but would reappear after uninstalling  / reinstalling GFAC.

 

Back to square one.

Ran the diag tools again to fix the issues again, until I got a clean run.

 

Updated all drivers.

Windows 10 Pro is up to date at 22H2

Did not resolve the GFAC issue.

 

I then went outside to touch grass.
Thanks @Jilleroo for the suggestion.

 

I noticed that the grass needed to be cut.

I cut the grass.

And then watched the grass grow for 7 days, while I waited for the GFAC 1.01 patch release.

 

I will probably cut the grass again tomorrow.

 

 

EDIT:

To update all the drivers, I used a tool called "Snappy Driver Installer Origin" 

https://memstechtips.com/install-missing-drivers-windows-snappy-driver-installer-origin/

 

I've used this tool in the past, open source, and works quite well.

Alternatively, go to the manufactures website for your computer, 
or if hybrid, the Motherboards website to manually install the drivers.

 

Create a System Restore Point !! before updating drivers.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT (2):

Another thing to look at, is from the Windows Crash Dump after the BSOD  blue screen.

 

I used an open source tool called "BlueScreenView"  - https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

My result when inspecting the BSOD dump files after;

- uninstalling GFAC

- Starting APB Launcher

- Running APB repair

- then BSOD  blue screen

- Was able to reboot with no additional problems

 

 

 

Two files marked in red seem to be the issue.

ntoskrnl.exe

win32kfull.sys

 

Tomorrow, I might watch some paint dry.

I'm here for you, even if APB isn't.

I agree, hackers, golds, sweats should go touch grass. 

But they are so mad they can't play they run out n by hacks or special 

equipment like dual big screens n stretched screen along with other exploits and 

altered files just to beat a couple of legit players.

They'll get triggered over your music n crash you up n Lo wont ban them for it. 

Either due to me not hacking and they know it or its just pure racism.

But they triggered all the time. 

Mad that someone is playing legit in their two bit game. 

Thats not a ref to bits n bites thats a monetary value, 2 bits = about .25 cents US.

Now if said sweats had any 'Skill' they would be playing a decent modern game and 

winning at it, not using exploits, glitches, altered files to win this 2 bit cartoon comic game.
