Small concerns regarding no client modification with Battle eye

Yeah. The way I see it, making manual config edits off limits through BE would require AL to be fully integrated into the APB ingame settings first which would most likely not happen until earliest the 3.5 update (speculating here). EDIT: BUT .. it still means it could be off limits in a not too distant future.

Locking the config is not going to happen.

See any unreal game. (e.g. fortnite / PUBG that both use BE)

 

People seem to think that these changes have way more effect on the game than they actually do.

Changing stuff in configs is a common thing, and changing stuff in games that run BE is also common.

People are blowing this specific part out of proportion if you ask me.

Shaders, that's a different talk.

You should honestly consider making Shaders free to use until the engine upgrade is there. Right now simply removing the fog can give you 10-20 extra frames which is just ridiculous and aids as a band-aid for the games pretty bad performance until the engine upgrade is out.

Doesn't advanced launcher already allow you to mess around with the fog?

Fog is located in the shaders, so no, not to that degree.

[Tobii 346]

Best example I can give you:

 

With fog.

 

Without fog.

Hm yeah. Looking at those links, I see your point.

[Tobii 346]

Good news though!

 

Shaders will not be a thing with 3.5.

The files are not there/compiled and shipped with the game.

So there's that.

Hi all,

 

Just a note to say that we are working with the author of the Advanced Launcher. He has kindly made the code available, and we'll make sure there are no conflicts with BE.

It isn't our intention to take away the tool. We just wanted to make sure it didn't interact negatively with the anti-cheat.

 

Thanks,
Matt

Be sure to apologize for me to anyone that looks at code, sorry for the sloppiness.

Lol. No worries. You’re help is much appreciated.

[MattScott 15245]

Hi everyone,

 

You guys can use the Advanced Launcher for now, and more than likely you will be able to continue using it after the next patch.

 

Thanks,

Matt

I know work is being done to ensure there are no complications between BattleEye and the advanced launcher, but what about editing the files for a static crosshair? Those who have used Dreamss shaders before should know what I am referring too. I still have the files as well if anyone has been looking for them.

is there any chance could get either the advanced launcher or the approval pinned somewhere, so it’s easier to find?

[Fubukigata 14]

Fair enought if you making an unofficial tool to an official seeting

[Shui 225]

YES PLEASE implement the Advanced Launcher!

Can you make a similar type of statement regarding other very popular edits that ain't done by the advanced launcher ?

Namely those,

 

- always-sprint config change

- no-mouse-acceleration config fix

- crouch button config change

- sound file removals

 

Often when watching people stream apb i've noticed that they removed certain sound files, music, death themes, some map sound emitters sometimes voice overs.. which provides a much better experience for the viewers as the background music isn't as much disturbed by some humming generator or the annoying joker ammo voice over or trolly people trying to grief the streamers with extra loud car music following em around. Ideally i guess it would be nice to have some in game options for all of that..

 

However for now if would be nice to know if any of those changes could be a problem with the implementation of BE, especially the first two on the list are pretty much must-haves id say.

Been using the advanced launcher for a very long time, good news.

[Gizzly 37]

Please add Toggle Sprint option aswell

[AxeTurboAgresor 268]

Turning off/on the ingame movie should be option that is in the game itself. Some other games have it.

 

My thoughts on instruments. I thinkremoving the instruments is too much of manipulation with game files. Instead letting ppl to remove instruments, it needs to be made so you can hear the death theme of every player in one mission 3x at max + MVP theme at the end of the mission. When you hear death theme too often, it indeed starts to be very annoying.
