APB Reloaded can’t seem to catch a break this month. Following severe lag and crashes with its console version earlier in April, yesterday the title was struck by a nasty DDOS attack that hurt both its Xbox One and PlayStation 4 performance, causing latency spikes and network outages.
“At the start of the weekend we began seeing an issue on our PS4 environment. We initially thought it was due to the recent patch or seasonal event but as time went on the issue spread to our XB1 environment as well. We have now identified the issue to be related to a new type of DDOS attack against our servers which spams our network and is causing latency and connectivity issues within the game,” the studio wrote yesterday.
The good news is that the crisis seems to be resolved as of this morning, which means that the seasonal event for the Xbox One can proceed as planned.
