2nd game since purchase and had a hilarious (frustrating) moment where I hoofed it to the safe zone and then got teleported back to a house I was at minutes ago. I died lol
Smoke grenades are client-side. Fuckin' LOL.

I noticed this during Summit's stream. They put out some smokes and then got shot through them lol
The game is saying "connection closed" after the update I just did?
Goddamn. Is this something they plan on changing?

pretty sure it was all darryl cornbread
What do you think?
I believe so. This is their best interest to make the playing field same for everyone.

My 3rd game and I got to 6th place. This is super tense lol.
really satisfying being in the same building as someone else and just quick peeking them down a hallway for a headshot.

I agree. 8x is very, very situational. I'll bounce between holo and 4x depending on range.

Stealing people's rides when they go to check out a house for gear is so satisfying.

Agreed. What's really fun is seeing someone coming and you drop a nice weapon near the front door entrance.
Just wait for them to go into their inventory and pop out.
mwahahaha
Patch rollback due to memory crash issue.

You seem to be spending your time same as I do at work. My update the thread with updates, brother.
Made a short video of a collection of neat moments while playing over the past week or so:

The game was just released into EA and PU with Bluehole are really good at communication - here's hoping that will prevail into future.
Check their dev blogs on their plan with optimalization - they will get there, so no need to be sad about performance.
I have 3770k@4.4, 7970Ghz 3GB and 16GB RAM - I play at 1080 with 120 scaling because I don't like the aliasing, everything very low except textures and view distance. 40-60fps capped via RivaTuner.
The perf will get better.
Below from dev blog 1
Client Optimization
In case you missed it last week, here is a look at our schedule for client optimization. This process will take time, and will not be fixed with a single patch. We ask for your patience as we work to improve performance.
Initial Performance Improvements
Key Objectives
To reduce the overload on the CPU, and make sure that the GPU performs to its full capability
Expected Results
Frame rates will be stable even when in high-density areas
Get higher frame rates across all graphic options
ETA: Apr. 14th (Expected to take roughly 5 weeks)
Further Performance Improvements
Step 1:Art assets optimization (Apr. 7th)
Decrease the LOD vertex for buildings seen at long distances
Decrease the total amount of vertex by adjusting the LOD on terrains
ETA: Apr. 7th
Step 2:Improve the rendering performance of terrain and ocean shader (TBD)
Step 3ecrease the overload on the CPU by rearranging wall near buildings (TBD)
Step 4

This, much like H1, is really fun to watch in a stream. I cannot get into actually playing this genre though, it gives me too much anxiety to spend all that time looting and running to only die within seconds lol.
Also, the gas or electricity in this game is fucking brutal. If you don't have a vehicle later in the game- you're screwed.

I've gotten to 6th place, 3rd place, and 2nd place on my first several games in solo without a vehicle.
Just required me to keep moving towards the center and hunker down in a good position. I'm finding that gear is not as important as positioning is.

They take a few mags at most but the point is that they made a shit load of noise and you have to come to a complete, or close to complete stop to exit.
Giant "HERE I AM, SHOOT ME FOR $12" sign.
Paper thin as in you can shoot people out of them really easily.

So apparently the smoke is not client side
About the weekly update..
So it should be the same as it was since last week.

it's the game's tense moments that make it such a winner, IMO.
I got up to #8, and in the middle of sneaking up on someone camping out in a hut, someone shot me from behind. Ughhhhhhhhh
Yeah the gas cans are to refuel the vehicles.

Last week/what it's reverted to now is 2.1.38, I was referring to the update 2.1.45 once it comes out fixed

Regarding car talk, I very much follow the summit and other peoples path in solo and get a car and drive all the way to the opposite side of the map at the start from the plane to loot in somewhat peaceful area to get geared up (though this isn't always the case... had one other guy doing the same to military island yesterday, he tried to side swipe my car and flipped his car over so he couldn't get there lolololol).
However after the circle moves twice I'm purely on foot by then, you're one giant "SHOOT ME RIGHT NOW IM OVER HERE EVERYONE COME LOOK AT ME" target by that point.
