Your computer is ten years old then?

Could we not resort to blaming people's hardware when it's well known that APB's performance got worse on a patch on patch basis (back when there was patches)?

 

My current PC is 3 and a half years old.

When it was new I had no stuttering on the standard launcher.

Then I got some stuttering after about a year.

After about a year and a half, I switched to the Advanced Launcher and eliminated stuttering with some tweaks to texture detail.

Now I'm stuttering even with Advanced Launcher.

My PC is not chocked with spyware, and my performance on other games has been consistent.

That shouldn't be happening. o.o

 

Hopefully the engine upgrades will fix it for you.

Well it doesn't happen when I use the advanced launcher lol.

That's alarming, I've never had trouble with the game stuttering at max graphics.

z87 pro with i7 4770k

not running on an ssd though but every other game runs fine sooo.

as soon as i put in an SSD things changed for the better.. Was weird although it was also 7 years ago that I did that.

Tbf, my PC wasn't a top of the range model when built and I would have replaced this year except I went and bought a house and consequently have no money.

But still, the performance deterioration is real. And some issues seem to be server side, so even brute forcing with a very high single thread performance i7 or Ryzen has its limits.

 

I wonder would my old Core Duo that I played APB on when it first came out still run it at all...

i dont see how that can be true since everyone is affected by subpar garbage collection, regardless of hardware

In my opinion it was a great Q&A. 

No more tradeable legendarys out of JMB's xDD

If I remember the forum chatter correctly, they changed it so that something to do with loading in other players' customisations (possibly the whole lot, but I'm not sure) used Hard Drive space when it previously had used RAM. That slowed down things for most of players, but those with APB on an SSD would feel it less.

He said that they will have the same stance on nudity, correct?

Is that stance the old waist up is fine, below waist is not?

 

[Puffdragon 131]

Better than I expected.

I missed a little but was it mentioned if JMBs or rare weapons in your inventory might be considered swap-able between the characters you make?

He didn't say anything about that. So i guess it stays

Shrug? I dunno?

 

My rig is not amazing (CPU is FX 8150, GPU RX480, 20 GB RAM) and I've never had issues with the game.

Go see it yourself if you missed it

Hope we are still allowed to mail, or they can just make them account bound, would be nice.

That's not what he was saying. He was pretty much remarking how with other games like for instance CS:GO, H1Z1 or any other game with an ingame loot box system there are third party websites which are used to complete transactions with real money on weapon skins or in-game items. The marketplace however is fine because it's using the monetary value we collect in game to purchase those weapons off people, we're not using real life currency to complete that transaction. 

[Ohshii 215]

I knew they'd unban everyone it was the smartest move for them. Makes instant money from unbanned players and allows them to look like they're being merciful to a playerbase that was mistreated for years by the previous owner.

idk if this will still stay then. but lets see

I think the QA went pretty well aside from Kemp pissing on stream.

[Chinook 144]

I appreciated the fact that the answers were well thought out and sensible. Also mostly in line when it comes to what I kinda hoped. Matt was a well-spoken gentleman with realistic-sounding visions.

In the light of this, we're in good hands as long as they have resources to pull off the things requied.

Kinda surprised you're being cynical about it now when you seemed very much in favour on the old forums.

So long as BattleEye promptly deals with anyone who relapses.

[AgentWatson 85]

I greatly appreciated the way the QnA was handled although maybe because it pertains to me I wished I would've gotten a better answer on that HAN server question. Yes I do think people who want to transfer from Han to Jericho will appreciate that Little Orbit are working to allow that transfer to happen. But at the same time, there is an overarching issue with HAN that keeps people there as opposed to the alternatives and that's lower latency.
