Danpaul to the rescue! I totally forgot to ask for an errors.log file. Want to upload that? @ indio You aren't wasting our time! We want to know why this is happening so we can try to prevent it (or fix it quicker) in the future!

Interesting. I suppose that is possible

Jonwil is still around, but yes, unfortunately some forums have gone offline. We are hoping that they aren't gone permanently, but we don't know for sure. If TT is having issues connecting out....that is really strange. Its a stretch, but have you checked your time and time zone on your PC just to make sure that they are correctly set? This can cause failures like this, but other stuff should not be working either if that was messed up...

@ indio Windows 10 is definitely not my favorite, but it is worth the upgrade. And I can help you make it not feel so "ugh" as well if you'd like, if you decide to upgrade. I have not regretted it, and I hate change. The tweaks they made after the first couple versions of win10 made it better as well, so if you haven't tried it in a while, it might have changed for the better since then. Windows 7 is still technically supported by the launcher, so I'm not sure whats going on there. You might check and see if you have any sort of weird firewall stuff going on. What AV do you use? Any fancy network firewall appliances? VPNs or proxies or such like? Any of that might affect this. I don't want to give up yet

Alright, try this workaround to see if maybe its something DNS-related thats causing your issue.

@ The Unstoppable I think can help you find what you need.

@ MPRA2 My apologies for not seeing this until now. I didn't get a notification for some reason. You've gotten about as far as I have until a possibly newer copy was located by one of our staff recently. I still haven't dug into it properly to see what it is, but at first glance it looks like it might be 1.6

Do you have service pack 1 installed?

So that we can best help you, please start a new thread and describe your issue for us. This thread is old (please don't necro), there are a couple different issues talked about here, and yours could be completely different. Also the outcome (solution or not) in this case is not recorded... Please provide screenshots, system information, and a good description of your issue and we'll do what we can to help. Thank you.

Yeah that would be where it would happen. RenArchive type games specifically are able to hit crazy FPS.

Wow, I learned something there Raap. A few GPUs back, I had a weird noise with certain applications only, and I never quite identified it. I bet it was the whine you speak of. Its sounded kinda like bad capacitors in a power supply, but only happened with certain games (specifically games) and the noise changed with what was happening on-screen.

Precisely. If they find us, they'll find the launcher, which has instructions. And if they have trouble, they can always ask us for help here.

The cap is much needed. "Glitches" above 300 fps is a modest description from what I've been told. A while back, we had a tester who claims to have gotten over 1000 fps while testing a very old (and thus minimally demanding) game on a 4.6 engine version while uncapped. The behavior he described is extremely game-breaking. And yeah, if the FPS exceeds your refresh rate, I don't see how there could be a benefit, technically speaking.

Interesting find. This made me curious about the differences over the course of APB as far as the model used, so I grabbed a few screenshots of what I found. It looks like the original model was just a slightly modified Renegade model (not surprising), whereas the later one is definitely more refined. .900 Initial Alpha release 1.2.0 Beta

We have taken appropriate action on this matter, and this report is now closed. (And moved to correct subforum)

Please make your own thread if you wish to file a formal complaint.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The moderation team is following up on this currently. One of us will contact you once we have collected some information about this matter.

@ CCHyper Thats awesome! But I'm waiting now for people to get it confused with the Renegade SS mod Hopefully that won't happen too often. Keep us updated on the progress!

Hi there, and welcome back! First you need to find your game folder. You have Renegade from Origin, correct? Should be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Renegade or something like that. You'll want to direct the scripts installer to that folder - the one that contains game.exe and the data folder. Let us know if you still have issues after trying that!

Just a thought here, it may or may not be related. Check the permissions and ownership of the folder in question as well as the files inside. Im on mobile currently or I would send you this myself, but you can google and find a quick reg edit that will add a "Take Ownership" option to your context menu. Use it to take ownership of the folder and see if it changes anything. Also, does your user have administrative priveledges? And are you running the game/launcher elevated or no? Currently the launcher elevates automatically so that it can update games, and because of this, the game processes are also spawned as admin processes. Sometimes this can do weird stuff, and sometimes it actually doesnt happen, which again causes weird stuff (permissions). Its rare, but its a thing so I just thought I would mention it.

Hello cyberarm, Thats a cool thing you have there! I'm going to poke @ danpaul88 about this, as he will probably want to take a look at it, and might have some questions for you.

Hey Noah, PM me here and I'll fix this for you.

I'm sure it might be frowned upon, but we could also change what game.exe is doing
