PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Playing on a bugged FPP duos server made me realize how intense a hardcore playlist would be. First person, team doesn't show up on the map/not on screen and you don't know if the person in front of you is a friend or not.

i think a better argument for advantage in 3PP is one of those houses where you can sit next to an open door frame overlooking the top of a staircase, and similar spots. They cannot see you first, if coming from the stairs.

I like both modes, though.

I just got the better luck next time screen while I was still alive in a Duo FPP match. Hopefully they fix that.

I am unable to get matched up with a partner.

I feel like this game would be better if it had the tp/fp ads swap that ghost recon had. Not sure why we are still having to tap to toggle ads in fpp mode either.

It's rather simple to expose those ccontrols too. I hope they consider giving us the option.

Because you hold the gun on your right side, and therefore have to expose more of yourself round the corner to shoot without obstruction during a left shoulder peek.

Speaking of which, ever since I got the game a week ago I constantly get annoyed that there isn't a button to change the weapon to the other hand/shoulder and not just the camera view.

Does anyone have any tips for increasing FPS in this game?

Im playing with everything on low/no vsync with an OCd R280X and an i5 and im getting 35 FPS max

Bugged duo FPP on EU is actually a lot of fun. Me and my friend made it all the way to the last 4 but someone managed to sneak up on us at the last circle. If they kept it as is but fixed the glitch where if your friend dies, you automatically lose, I think I would play it. Kinda like hardcore mode I guess.

So many headless players about, they have no idea where to look.
 
It's now consistently one... playable game, one unplayable one. I just landed at school and the game was actually locking up for a half second so many people were teleporting around. I tried to shoot a guy with a Saiga at point blank and he was warping around multiple places like it was some kind of N64 corruption video.

Yeah, it's all over the place right now. I was having no lag in a busy drop point, people unloading all over. Then huge latency after i got some distance, inside a house.

I'm seeing people saying the patch that's out is for the lag, but I thought it was server side. Anyone know?

They fixed some performance problem that was introduced with this big patch, but server lag is still being worked on but they think they know what is causing it.
 
Cool so Duo FPP is completely broken.

Spawned in with my friend and neither of us could see the other's teammate marker or location in the HUD.

And then when my friend got downed, it immediately put my screen into the "Better luck next time" screen while I was still alive and at full health.

Strong work

I hate this fucking circle this game. Appearing clear on the other side of the map like 4 times in a row and no vehicle, Fuck that.

Yup, just had a similar game. I got to 27th before dying without seeing a single person because I ran out of healing items in the blue. Landed at the northeast corner, the first circle was over centered just east of Georgopol. No vehicle.

Yes, I full well realize I could have started going immediately, but I wanted to loot first.

Exact same thing happened to me. We tried playing a regular duo match and my game froze, too.

Yeah its completely messed up for everyone. They have said that they are working on it though.
 
Ha, jumped out of a window to get behind a guy breaching my building.

Tried it again later, there happened to be a second guy on a hill looking at my compound. I had to run into an adjacent building, where I tried to jump again, only to discover that hill guy had run down and was waiting for me to do that.

Aww I have steam marketplace restrictions because PUBG is the first game I bought within the last year, and it was less than 30 days ago. Crate prices will probably go way down by the 19th... Oh well! Still not gonna open them. Cosmetics in this game are so janky and worthless.
 
Just got off work and tried a FPP match. Laggy, and when I started, no buildings and boxes and shit were rendering so I could see through everything. Ran around for a while not wanting to risk shooting at someone in case they were inside a building, then my game crashed.
 
The best type of latency effect is when two mutually exclusive things happen, like you end up trying to open a door, and opens, teleports you into the next room, and then the door is closed behind you, like you never opened it at all.
