*avoiding huge quotes*
well alittle time ago i got a 2gb RAM upgrade. my fps before that was like max 30-40, but now its 70-90 (all checked with FRAPS fps meter).. To be honest, i dont see any difference (except dust lag, i dont have it anymore)

There is no real difference with higher FPS in the game, lag is there anyways.

Yeah basicly it depends on how good the connection between you and the server is.
You should have a brand new real good computer in order to run APBR smoothly.

[Devilboy665]

Well,yeah! lol I have new PC but its not like uber good..its good lol. I get 30-40 FPS without lagging.
And connection is very good with every online game I played so...

Yeah APB is rather laggy atm, lots of network problems but they're working on it.

can you please explain that to alvar?

I'll take a bash at explaining... might get confusing though 

In sa-mp the damage dealt is done client side. Basically, that means that your game must see the shots being fired from your opponent at your character hitting you on YOUR screen ingame. This means that if you have low fps in sa-mp (of about 10) the players shooting at you are essentially shooting at slow motion to match up your game. That's one of the reasons why shots don't always sync up in mods like sa-mp and vc-mp.

The difference with APB however is that everything is done server side including shooting. So that means that aslong as a player hits another player the damage will always be dealt. For example if you have 10 fps in APB it gives no advantages to you what so ever since all the other player has to do is shoot your character on his screen regardless of wether or not your game seen the shots hit you. The server then registers the hit and sends a message to your game saying that you have been hit and to subtract x amount of HP. My description may not be exactly the way it's done but its something very similiar.

Sounds about right, Hanney are you joining patriot this time?

Great, EU1?

Alvar in newer games like APB or whatever you can't always expect to have 60 fps or above. 30 fps is totally playable and you will ofcourse notice the difference if you play with higher, but 30 is definitely playable.

APB sometimes hangs really bad. I don't know why this happens, is it game related or is it my pc? I can play BFBC2 fine, but APB seems to lag alot. This is really annoying in heavy combat. Any idea how to solve it?

So is this game free to play already or what ?
