Hello! I'm new here. I've heard about your mods long time ago, and played some of them for a little bit. But one that interests me most to this day is apocalypse rising.
I've been tracking it on moddb for ages, but there were not many notifications then I checked if you guys were dead and figured you have awesome youtube channel, forum and everything. So I decided to join.Welcome! Good to see new faces in the community. 😊

Avast
Yeah Avast notoriously doesn't like the game and has given other people the same problem you describe (black screen + fail instead of starting). Search "Avast" in our Discord tech support channel and you will see.
If disabling isn't doing what you want, can you try adding game.exe in APB's install directory to Avast's whitelist?

I've disabled my AV, even made exceptions for everything related to w3dhub.
I can run Reborn or IA just fine, it's APB that wants to be awkward lolWhich antivirus is it? Reborn and IA don't use scripts 5.0, which is hated by a few select antivirus programs.

Everytime I go to launch APB from the launcher, the screen goes blank and then it goes back to the desktop itself.
There's no error, or any error related files for me to check out.
Everything is running as administrator. I did click and repair the games installation, but to no avail..Do you have an antivirus running on your machine? If so, try disabling it and running APB again.

I've seen a number of light/phase tank rushes work, and in the past, ranger rushes. But they do require coordination. It's easier when the team's not cooperating to go in as a Tanya or Engineer and solo some structures.
A spy shutting down defenses/repairs also requires some amount of specific teamwork to be effective.

Using jump and crouch keys give you a lot of control with your pitch. Rudder left and right is bound to your < and > keys, but bind the secondary L+R keys to keys near WASD. I use Z and X personally. This will help you turn left and right easily without having to roll the plane. Helps a LOT when you're strafing a moving target. @ ryknow69can explain more precisely.

Hi Samasugida, we do like these games, and that's why we make more games based on these games. Please do take the time to try out our first/third person adaptations of these games and I hope you enjoy them.
We ask that you do make your posts in English, as that's the language everyone here speaks. Thanks for your understanding!

May need an admin to look into allowing this via the ACP, as per the following link:
https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/444524-add-a-poll-in-an-existing-topic/?do=findComment&comment=2745592@ OWA Any way to allow the addition of a poll to a topic?

I was thinking the further away we start from the objective, the more prepared we'll be for the objective in the end. Why not a mystery side quest in Traschwandt, where we can gain things in preparation for the main quest? I'm sure we can stop at the Nod base along the way to the research center.

3.6.1.0
General Changes
- Hitmarker behavior has been edited so that direct weapon projectiles once again provide instant feedback, and explosion damage provides server-side feedback.
- Stealthed friendly units and objects now appear on the radar compass when the Radar Dome is disabled or destroyed.
- The new repair script now has an added "anti-leave-zone-to-remove-repair-debuff" feature.
- Increased naval repair zone sizes.
- Made an adjustment that should reduce or eliminate the issue with getting stuck in airplanes right after they land.
Vehicles
BTR
- Adjusted so that it is more vulnerable to rockets and shells, but slightly more resistant to small arms and C4 explosives.
- Skin and shield changed from Light to new BTR type.
- Health and shield values decreased. 250 -> 200

Yak
- Adjusted handling to feel more lightweight.
MiG
- Missile damage effectiveness has increased against aircraft. Two salvos (one full payload) can destroy a Longbow that's at full health, but only just barely. 0.5 -> 0.75
Levels
- Improved bot behavior around doors.
- Moved the trees and a rock on the bottom of the cliff outside the Soviet Refinery slightly away from that cliff, so vehicles going down that hill won't get stuck.
- Blocked off a vehicle stuck position between one of the Flame Towers and a rock.
- Fixed a couple floating objects.
- The lightpost at the Allied Service Depot emits light properly.

- Added a destroyed Pillbox and Flame Tower at the base entrances.
- Rotated the now-destroyed Allied Service Depot 90 degrees, resulting in less smoke from it appearing in the Allied Barracks basement.
- The oil pumps in the bases no longer start teamed. This fixes a bug that was introduced when the objective markers were added.
- Fixed some texture blending seams with the snowy grass.

3.6.0.0
This release has been a long time in the making. It's the first APB public release of 2021 and boy is it a big one. Huge thanks to all the staff and testers who helped make this possible!
It will take some time to finish packing everything up, but it should all be ready to be on the launcher by this time tomorrow.
The SDK has already been updated for 3.6 (minus documentation).
General Changes
- Replaced the generic W3D Hub window/taskbar application logo with the APB red star icon.
- Players forced to change teams no longer have a death count increase.
- Levels of detail have been added to more ingame objects (such as the AT and AP mines, and the detailed house on Keep Off The Grass). This means performance improvements in some areas.
- Added new flare models and effects for helicopter purchases and reinforcement drops.
- Replaced the Soviet elevator music.
- Bots have undergone a few general behavioral improvements, including weapon/sight ranges.
- Much more robust edit_human and edit_weapon console commands. These only work in singleplayer.
- Two new menu options-
- Muting the game's audio when the window is not in focus.
- Skipping the quit confirmation dialog.
HUD
- Now features W3D's brand new objective marker technology. These are points of interest or importance that appear overlaid on the screen (including a distance readout) to assist with the objective. Most of the time they are relevant to the player's current character or vehicle class. Each inclusion of the objective markers will be listed below under their appropriate changelog item.
- The mine limit now appears on the HUD next to the mine count; no longer is there a need to use a command on the server to get the mine limit from the chatbox.
- Disarmed mine messages now go to the kill feed, rather than the chat box. Disarming the AT mine now shows a shovel and the AT mine icon, rather than a shovel and the AP mine icon.
- Replaced the tracking lock icon with one resembling the attack cursor from Red Alert.
- Updated the kill icon models for the Tesla Tank, Mammoth Tank, MCV, and the Submarines. Adjusted a few other kill icon positionings slightly, also enlarging the Cruiser and Mammoth Tank icons. Re-added the "imfree" font icon.
Unit Repairs
- Vehicular repair logic is now shared between the Service Depot, Naval Yard/Sub Pen, Airfield, and now the Helipad and Refill Pad. All vehicle types can repair at the Service Depot, if they can reach it. Only naval type units can repair at the Naval Yard/Sub Pen. Only airplanes can repair at the Airfield. VTOL units and airplanes (if they can reach it) can repair at Helipads and Refill Pads.
- Vehicle repairs at these facilities are now completely free of charge.
- Vehicles repair at the same rate as before, at 10% per second. More accurately, as far as repair ticks go, they now repair at 1% every 0.1 seconds.
- If a player starts taking moderate damage from any singular weapon (15 hitpoints or more), repairs will slow down significantly (10% of their normal repair rate) until 5 seconds after they stop taking damage. Aircraft repairing at the Heli/Refill pads or Airfield are similar to this, except their repairs slow down much more easily at 1 hitpoint threshold.
- Multiple vehicles can repair at the same building simultaneously, as long as they can all fit into the area.
- There is no longer a delay when starting to repair, and players no longer need to drive away from and back into the repair area in order to start repairs if the vehicle is damaged at full health while in the area, or if the player enters the vehicle while it's in the repair area.
Points Distribution
- Points for destroying buildings, defenses, and support structures are now awarded to the team's score pool rather than all the players on the team.
- Disarming A-bomb flares now grants a joint 250 points to all the players who worked on it, and the other 250 points are awarded to the team's score after it's disarmed. Previously 500 points went to the player who did the last bit of disarming.
- Disarming C4 charges now grants live points to all the players who work on it, rather than awarding all the points to the person who fired the final disarming shot.
Weapons
- Lock-on ranges have been fixed. They now match the actual targeting range, rather than only 75% the targeting range.
- Damage that is applied on the server side now sends hit markers.
- New Beretta and Makarov pistol reload sounds.
- Fixed a bug that caused the carried FIM-92 weapon model (and the Drunk Rocket Soldier's weapon on Lunar) to disappear.
- Firing the FIM-92 at nearby targets no longer damages the weapon's owner.
- Effective range for tech scanners and engineer wrenches has been decreased 3 -> 2. This is for the AI repairers to stand closer to their targets.
Textures
- Color adjusted a rough yellow cliff texture to better match the other environment textures.
- Improved the barbed wire chain link fence textures. Their resolutions have improved and can be seen from farther away.
- Fixed a seam on a field grass texture.
Infantry
- Crouch walk radar sneaking has returned, and its cooldown timer increased once again to 3 seconds (from 1 second). The previous bug where players could jump while crouching to remain invisible on radar has been fixed.
- All infantry can detect sneaking players at least 5m away from them. The Sergeant, Starshina, and Flamethrower can detect at 25m, and the Captain, Kapitan, and Spy can detect at 50m. This information can be viewed ingame through the F1 encyclopedia screen on the new Gameplay menu.
- Using weapon scopes no longer causes players to unsneak.
- Partisans can sneak once again.
- All infantry now use the new inertia features offered in Scripts 5.0. There is a slight graduation in momentum changes, and moreso while swimming. Strafing diagonally forward while sprinting is less restricted, and jumping while crouched no longer offers a forward velocity increase.
- Infantry worldboxes are now shorter while crouched. This will allow them to access very slightly tighter spaces. 100% -> 80%
Sergeant / Starshina
- Uninterruptible per-round reload has been set up on the shotguns. What this means is that shotguns reload only the number of rounds that are missing, and only the full 8 if they are fully empty.
Rocket Soldier / RPG Trooper
- Now have pistols.
- AA weapons are now on slot 3 (rather than sharing the anti-tank weapon slots on 2).
- Weapon switch times have been reduced for the LAW, RPG-7, Redeye, and Strela. 3s -> 2s
- LAW/RPG damage decreased 5%. 90 -> 85.5
- Firing at nearby objects with the LAW/RPG no longer damages the owner of the weapon.
- AA weapons can no longer lock-on to ground units.
- AA weapons have a tracking delay of 0.62s, and they untrack after 1.25 seconds.
Engineer
- The golden wrench can now repair vehicles. It works with 75% the effectiveness of mechanic wrenches. Capacity is still limited as before.
Spy
- Can once again acquire a Sonar Pulse from the Sub Pen. The Sonar Pulse, in addition to its previous function of revealing enemy naval units on radar, now reveals all Soviet naval units with objective markers as well.
Medic
- Fixed a bug with placing multiple medic armor caches that caused players to gain an unintended advantage.
- Medic cache regenerates 1 unit of armor every 1 second, instead of every 5 seconds.
Mechanic
- Wrench range (area of effect) decreased significantly. 12.5 -> 6
Thief
- Can now steal credits from bots.
Tanya
- Equipped with two weaker C4 charges, rather than having the ability to destroy a building with one. Tanya's second C4 can reload while her Colt is equipped.
- Reload time between C4 charges is 8 seconds.
- Damage of each C4 has been halved. 1200 -> 600
- Disarming point rewards of each C4 have been halved. 200 -> 100
- Uses different voice lines while placing C4.
- Fixed a mesh seam in her neck.
Grenadier
- Added a grenade explosion inner radius of 2m.
- Reduced grenade explosion damage. 50 -> 35
Flamethrower
- Stronger against infantry, does 50% more to infantry skins and about 30% more to infantry shields.
- No longer has burst fire (need to hold down mouse to use entire clip).
- Inaccuracy when jumping has decreased. 19.5 -> 3.5
- Accuracy recovery rate reduced. 10 -> 2
- No longer damages his own shield when firing at nearby targets and surfaces.
- Now uses an ignition sound as firing starts.
- The kill message now has an added flame icon for clarity.
Shock Trooper
- Weapon splash damage is now scaled (meaning it does a lot less damage if you hit further from your target), but splash damage has also been increased, leading to an overall buff if you hit the ground near your target.
- Now takes splash damage from electric weapons.
- Splash damage increased 5 -> 15.
- To compensate for the direct damage increase, the electric special damage type has had its damage decreased 22.5 -> 12.5.
- To mitigate the much weaker flame effects overriding this damage, the speed of the effect has been increased by 10.
Volkov
- Per-round reload has been set up on the hand cannon weapons.
- AP HandCannon range increased. 34 -> 85
- Napalm grenades Elasticity up. 0.03 -> 0.5
- Napalm grenades Max Bounces down. 999 -> 1
Vehicles
- The helicopters have been increased in scale to a more fitting size, and their third person camera distances have been increased to match.
- Phase Tank, Chrono Tank, and Longbow have "no missile tracking" option when right clicking to fire.
- Fixed minor tread texture issues on the APC, Artillery, M.A.D. Tank, and Minelayers.
- Fixed a few inconsistent exit transitions (locations the players are deposited when they exit vehicles).
BTR (Low Tech Soviet Scout)
This unit replaces the Soviet Ranger in the Soviet vehicle roster, meaning it is only available on the maps the Soviet Range was available on (plus any added in this patch, noted in the maps section below). The BTR serves as a cheap, lightly armored vehicle that can effectively scout the map, mow down infantry, fight longbows, and clear mines. Essentially, it is a Soviet Ranger overhauled to fit the Soviet design pillars; heavy armor, high damage, and good survivability.
Ranger
- No longer has a passenger seat.
Light Tank
- Slightly better at handling hills.
Medium / Heavy Tanks
- Increased vehicle turning speeds.
Mobile Gap Generator
- Added new camera profiles that are offset to the sides, similar to the V2 and Artillery's alternate cameras.
Phase Tank
- Per-round reload has been set up for its missile weapon (two missiles at a time).
- Slightly reduced hill handling.
Chrono Tank
- Model and texture have been improved.
- Two more camo variants have been set up, using green paint in place of the orange paint. The default Chrono Tank variant will still be the orange/silver version on all maps.
- Missile turn rate doubled. 300 -> 600
- New set of PT icons.
Tesla Tank
- Model has been updated with higher quality meshes and rig. Fixed an issue where the vehicle was pulling off to the right due to mis-aligned wheel bones.
- Weapon splash damage is now scaled, similar to the Shock Trooper's rifle.
- Splash damage increased 20 -> 25.
- Special electric2 damage type has had its damage decreased 30 -> 25, and had its effect speed increased by 10x.
- First person camera angle is centered over the vehicle.
Mammoth Tank
- Model and texture have been improved.
- Thickened the tracks slightly, adjusting wheel heights and spring length to match.
- Adjusted the rig so it doesn't get stuck on sloped terrain as often.
- The missile pods can now tilt.
- Removed the spray angle from the tusk missiles. 10 -> 0
Demolition Truck
- The horn has been edited so it can play while the vehicle is charging up to explode.
Ore Truck
- When driving, you can now see how full your truck is is by looking on the lower righthand corner of the screen.
- When driving, there are now objective markers that instruct you on where the ore, gem, and mixed fields are around the map, as well as where to dump at the Refinery.
MCV
- New model and texture.
AA Truck
- No longer has a passenger seat.
Longbow
- AI preferences against infantry have been adjusted so they don't chase after them.
Hind
- Vertical acceleration increased. 28000 -> 32000
Chinook
- Handling has been adjusted so the critical fault of the chinook is eased as far as flying high.
Airplanes
- Handling has been made easier. Most notably they are more responsive to turning/rolling, and the landing gear slows them down more significantly (allowing players with landing gear out to land at "full speed").
- Exploding planes now affect vehicles and buildings (slightly) and infantry. Damage of the explosion is now scaled, and its radius has been reduced. 22.5 -> 17.5
- More vulnerable to Rifle Soldiers by 2x.
- More vulnerable to Captains by 1.4x.
Yak
- The rig has been adjusted so it has an easier time landing.
- Autocannon BurstMax has been decreased. 5 -> 3
- Reduced cruising speed. 38.5 -> 33.5
MiG
- Reduced cruising speed. 48.5 -> 43.5
- Reduced landing gear speed. 36.5 -> 33.5
- Increased missile damage decently against Ranger skin/shields, and slightly against light vehicle skin/shields. MiGs can now destroy rangers in one volley, but not artilleries.
-
Missiles adjusted to be much less wieldy. Pilots will need to be more intentional about pointing its nose at its targets when firing missiles.
- Range increased. 160 -> 200
- Velocity increased. 110 -> 175
- Gravity force has been added. 0 -> -9.5
- Turn Rate decreased. 150 -> 85
Naval Units
- Players now teleport directly into their naval purchases if done from the naval yard or sub pen.
- Ships are more vulnerable to Rifle Soldiers by 3x.
- Ships are more vulnerable to Captains by 1.125x.
Destroyer
- Handling has been edited so this unit is a bit more fast and responsive.
Submarines
- Brand new models/textures.
- Now more vulnerable to weapons while submerged.
- Increased turning speeds by 10%.
- Disabled the floating playername on the missile sub periscope camera.
Missile Sub
- Missile Sub's ballistic weapon range reduced. 220 -> 210
- Raised the ballistic missile muzzles by 1m. The result is that they should have a slightly easier time hitting ground targets.
- Added a tertiary camera for sieging.
Buildings
- All defenses, when they are damaged, now show objective markers to technicians and engineers; they are green/yellow/red depending on how damaged they are.
Power Plant
- Adjusted some damage emitters that were in the wrong place.
Radar Dome
- When destroyed or jammed, it only removes enemy (and stealthed friendly) blips from the radar. It no longer shuts off the radar compass completely.
- Fixed an issue with disappearing console screens in the sub basement.
Service Depot
- Added a repairing animation.

- Refills airplane ammunition.
Naval Yard
- Repair zone now has objective markers that start appearing at around 200m distance for any player whose naval unit's health becomes damaged.
- Uses new repair logic similar to the Service Depot; it only works for naval units.
Sub Pen
- Repair zone now has objective markers that start appearing at around 200m distance for any player whose naval unit's health becomes damaged.
- Uses the new repair logic similar to the Service Depot; it only works for naval units.
- Added backings to the two ladders by the submarine spawns.
Airfield
- Uses the new repair logic similar to the Service Depot; it only offers repairs to airplanes, but works for airplanes owned by either team.
Oil Pump
- There is now an invisible ramp up the sides of the concrete platform so players no longer need to jump to get on it.
- Capturable oil pumps now have objective markers that appear for Engineers and Technicians. The oil pumps starting in each base do not have an objective marker for players on the opposing team.
- Equalized tech building capturing speed between the FDS and local LAN; pumpjack HP is now 20 to compensate for this (down from 40).
- Its textures have been upscaled.
Guard Tower
- Now uses the lighter color sandbags only.
- The texture UV's on the roof have been improved.
- A couple unnecessary draw calls have been removed.
Levels

- Bots get stuck at the doors less often.
- Fixed a stuck position between some rocks by the Allied Service Depot.
- Adjusted the terrain around the small water-filled basin just outside the Soviet base, so traversibility there is easier. Bots should have less trouble getting stuck in this area.
- Fixed a terrain texture blending seam next to the gems in the middle.
- Major revisions have been applied to this level. See some of those changes below.
- The extremely lengthy, circuitous tunnel section is now eliminated, along with all the infantry routes that led into or out of the rear sides of the bases.
- There is a new short, direct, and accessible tunnel route under the east hill to replace the long tunnel route that was removed.
- Inside the cave mentioned above is a capturable gem silo, worth 2 credits per second to the team that captures it using a Technician or Engineer.
- The top of the east hill is no longer accessible.
- The Soviets have extremely easy access to the west hill next to their Barracks, where previously it was difficult to defend.
- The west hill has a couple infantry routes which were moved, appropriated, and simplified from other areas of the map.
- The Allied base building positions have been swapped.
- The Soviet Barracks has moved slightly closer to the War Factory.

- Adjusted vehicle blockers at infantry base entrance near Soviet Refinery to be more visibly obvious.
- Fixed a lighting issue on the barbed wire fences.
- Darkened the icebergs significantly and changed the reflective ice texture. Also removed unnecessary backfaces from them.
- Sank the Allied Service Depot a bit.
- Added bot support.

- Fixed a vehicle sticky spot at the base of some pipeline supports.
- Added vehicle blockers so tanks can't attempt to travel up the pipeline from the road and get stuck.
- Soviet BTRs are available on this map.
-
Some changes have been made to the side of the map that holds the Soviet base.
- The Soviet base elevation has increased by about 20 meters.
- An Airfield has been added, and some of the Soviet building positions rearranged.
- The flight ceiling has been made soft, in order to compensate for the addition of airplanes.

Is this true for refilling ammo for at helipads/refill pads too?
And is refilling ammo slowed down by taking damage as well?
No and no. 😎

We have brand new vehicular repair logic! This is of the repair type that comes from buildings, not vehicle-repairing units like the Mechanic. This new logic is now shared between the Service Depot, Naval Yard/Sub Pen, Airfield, and also the Helipad and Refill Pad. All vehicle types can repair at the Service Depot, if they can reach it. Only naval type units can repair at the Naval Yard/Sub Pen. Only airplanes can repair at the Airfield. VTOL units and airplanes (if they can reach it) can repair at Helipads and Refill Pads.
- Vehicle repairs at these facilities are now completely free of charge.
- Vehicles repair at the same rate as before, at 10% per second. More accurately, as far as repair ticks go, they now repair at 1% every 0.1 seconds. This results in the more "slidey" effect rather than large repair chunks.
- If a player starts taking moderate damage from any singular weapon (15 hitpoints or more), repairs will slow down significantly (10% of their normal repair rate) until 5 seconds after they stop taking damage. Aircraft repairing at the Heli/Refill pads or Airfield are similar to this, except their repairs slow down much more easily at 1 hitpoint threshold.
- Multiple vehicles can repair at the same building simultaneously, as long as they can all fit into the area.
- There is no longer a delay when starting to repair, and players no longer need to drive away from and back into the repair area in order to start repairs if the vehicle is damaged at full health while in the area, or if the player enters the vehicle while it's in the repair area.
See the video for how this looks in-game. A big huge thanks to @ CMDBob for implementing this feature. As a note, we can tweak almost anything about this, compared to a rigid set of scripts from before that also varied from building to building.

Does it still count as Monday's news update if it was submitted before 12:00am Tuesday, Pacific time?
Let's get to it!

When you buy a naval unit from the Naval Yard or Sub Pen, you will now teleport directly into it. Beware, if you purchase from a different building, unless you are very fast at running, chances are you will need to get into the naval unit the old-fashioned, thief-risky way.I expect large game nights on levels such as Hostile Waters will have less cumbersome purchase queue lines with this feature in play.
@ moonsense715 deserves credit for this feature.

Rocket Soldiers? So glad you asked! Yeah, their tracking/lock-on ranges are fixed and they got a new lock-on icon. There is now a small delay to lock-on, so it takes slightly more skill than point and click. Only slightly!
And since they get pistols too, the other weapons have shifted to slots 2 and 3. Muscle memory be damned.

I guess we can take this opportunity to show off a couple edits to our vehicles.Behold, two new Chrono Tank camouflage options! Everything's the same as the orange version, except the orange is green.
We also have a replacement MCV model. It's actually old, but is better than the current release and was never implemented till now.
Thanks to @ GeneralCamo for working on these vehicles!

Tanya needs to use her two C4 charges now to take down a building. Each one is similar in damage and timed like an Engineer's C4. It takes 8 seconds for her to charge up her second C4 and (like the first C4) 1 second to throw it, meaning it may take 39 seconds to kill a building after she throws her first charge. One nice thing here, though, is that she can switch to her Colt and fight with it while the second C4 charge uses up its 8 second cooldown in the background.

The Engineer can repair vehicles with his limited golden wrench. It is only at about 75% the effectiveness of the Mechanic's wrench.
No, we're not becoming Renegade.

You make a good point. Some might say that a framerate that is much higher than their display's refresh rate looks better, but I've yet to be convinced of this.
