VanilleKeks 735 Posted December 11, 2018 Because it gives you more visibility, especially in marksman mode fights, giving you an advantage over the enemy. I personally don't mind such config edits but I'd assume LO thinks something like that. If it even was confirmed to be banable, haven't found a source yet. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VickyFox 353 Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) As Vanille said, It's giving you a visual advantage over your opponents. If you did this then anyone could use the excuse to remove muzzle flash, explosions and other visual affects just to improve frames when really they're just taking advantage of a genuine need of someone else. I know this sounds like a less than pleasant fellow thing to say but if your FPS is low then that's a problem with your system, and not something the game and everyone else should be compensating for. Clean out some old files, keep drivers up to date, try and upgrade some old hardware is possible. Also make sure your computer is not to dust laden in fans or grills as it will cause thermal throttling which slows down general operations of a computer.

BlatMan 708 Posted December 11, 2018 You can't disable muzzle flash directly though. You can however remove most particles which also removes muzzle flash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jkoh 12 Posted December 12, 2018 Just about every streamer does this, can you be banned? Sure. But you can actually be banned for almost anything you do in game, due to the TOS. Will you be banned??? I highly doubt it. No one else has, why would you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarko 43 Posted December 12, 2018 The illusion that something is bannable makes you think that you're more likely to be banned for such a sin but if you don't try you won't know. I'm not saying to take a risk but...yeah Been seeing many peoples using it with no suspension or what so ever. Whenever they will be encrypting the game's folder they won't have a necessity to worry about those things. They won't lose their playerbase and they won't be asked such a question on the forums anymore. Simply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G1 tried stopping people from editing certain things in the config files without actually encrypting files countless times and people have found a new workaround every time. Banning players for config edits at this point would be nothing but silly. What they should do is encrypt the files in the 3.5 update and be done with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dett2 64 Posted December 12, 2018 That's bannable cuz you get huge advantage. But idk LO bans you or no. I saw some streamers using custom shader(like crosshair , remove flash , explodes) in twitch. But they aren't banned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swft 356 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) It's "bannable", however they won't dare actually banning anyone for using configs right now since everyone uses them. Maybe when the engine upgrade hits and they decide to actually block file changes properly instead of threatening people.

The Terms of Service says basically any manually done changes to the APB game folder is prohibited. The exception would be to send copies of the log report to staff. Reverse engineering of APB is a No-No. A rule of thumb: if you feel like you have to ask a moderator or the forum if something is against the rules, then it is better to safe than sorry and chances are that it is against the rules anyway.
