My luck: land right by a sniper rifle, lvl 3 helmet and lvl 2 body armor, and 8x scope... network lag and it drops me out.

I think it's better to keep for a long time, the price can only go up.

CS GO is a good indicator of that.

If I manage to get a second, I'll do that. Thanks.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Okay this is entirely not playable early on. Essentially land somewhere completely away from everyone else and hope the lag stops.

 

[elvisaintdead]

First person is fun, had a few decent multi-kill runs before the one that made me decide to quit out. I dropped at the military base, grabbed a pistol and took a couple shots at a guy who had a shotgun who didn't see me. Only hit once, so I ducked behind a corner. Network lag detected, and the guy turns around, runs down a hallway, turns a corner and kills me while I can't move. Guess I'll wait for the server fix.

Yeah 1pp is so damn much fun, never going back to 3pp whenever the bugs with 1pp have been ironed out. Sucks that duo queuing is too broke to do right now, my bud and I were bummed. Finishing out the night with a pretty intense 2nd place with 5 kills. Tried to flank the last guy but he had the same idea and came out where I wasn't expecting him to be, damn .

 

[Greatest Ever]

Network Lag has lasted over two minutes now.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

FPP has made me quite aware at how bad I am at tapping and burst firing the M16 at close quarters.

 

[broncobuster]

Liking first person a lot more than third, but yeah, the lag is unbearable at the start and in close quarters.

 

[Dmax3901]

Getting "Connected. Waiting for response".

 

[HowZatOZ]

Getting "Connected. Waiting for response".

Servers are trashed atm, hopefully they can fix it up nice and quick.

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Yay. Memory leak error became worse for me after the update. I went from having to reboot after every game to not even being able to make it through one game at all. Very frustrating. Hopefully they figure that out sooner than later.

(not my picture, but the exact same error)

And no, I don't believe that my 1080ti is running out of memory legitimately. : /

I'm getting the same on my 970, was working fine for 3 or so games in a row before the update. Can see the vram usage jump up to >4gb before it crashes, usually happens about 2 mins after landing. Tried reinstalling and clearing my config but didn't help. I'll check drivers tonight and see if they make a difference.

Yeah I've gotten it on a 970 and a 1080 multiple times in previous patches, haven't seen it in a few weeks though..

 

[Divius]

Tried fpp yesterday. First game was really laggy, which also got me killed quite early. Not gonna count that one.

Second game was fine. Involved a lot of me being prone in the bushes and popping out to quickly kill people with a silenced AR towards the endgame. Got me into 3rd place, where I ended up dying to the gas because of bad circles and bad positioning. I have to say, fpp is super intense and I love it. Not sure yet if there's one more I'll main over the other. Gonna try some more 1pp though.

Also looking for Euro people to duo/squad with. Steamname in profile.

 

[kiaaa]

FPP has made me quite aware at how bad I am at tapping and burst firing the M16 at close quarters.

Unless I have a sniper, I try to keep an Ump or another full auto AR when I'm using the m16. It's incredible for mid-long range, but for some reason I just can't use the burst all that effectively.

 

[23qwerty]

wow this lag is actually straight up unplayable

 

[Lemonte]

I bet the crate prices will come down once people can actually play the game and earn them...

 

[insin]

Can you get a team killing pardon when the fourth player in your squad on the OC server is a kid who goes off on their own, has the loudest mic you've ever head, appears to have muted chat and is commentating on everything they're doing - in French - to whoever's in the room with them, which appears to include a chicken?

(We didn't kill them, but we did cheer when they got killed)

 

[Lupercal]

I bet the crate prices will come down once people can actually play the game and earn them...

Yeah, it's steady now at 3.60 € but already sold 5 of them atm so.

 

[Åesop]

I would assume the dank yellow pants that I got are rare, and people will pay a lot for that, right?

You can check the going rate in Steam for the moment, if it's a high price already, you could quickly sell it or wait until Gamescom crates are gone and it goes up in price.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Is there a way to see what items I have up for sale on the marketplace?

I just listed a couple of crates but they are still sat in my inventory saying sell, I confirmed them in the steam app.....

Edit: OK, I closed Steam and restarted and now it shows my active listings.

there is no rate, because you cant sell that stuff yet i think

 

[RandomExpletive]

TIL the blown up/rusted cars hitbox is either a cube or I got fucked by the server

And during parachute on my first rainy map got a blue screen. UHG. Is there a "safe" nvidia driver atm?

 

[SomTervo]

Go here http://steamcommunity.com/my/inventory/

Go to the game's section

Click item

Put selling price under Buyer pays

On the Steam Community Market

http://steamcommunity.com/market/

This is so bizarre.

Thanks for the info.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

How long will the Gamescom chests be available for?

 

[SomTervo]

wow this lag is actually straight up unplayable

Yeah but at least they put a big announcement up on the front page saying they're aware, working on it, and that it could take some time.

Pretty good communication for once.

 

[Daffy Duck]

So should you just put the buyer pays price as the current highest price or what?

What tips are there for this? I've never done this before.

 

[nowarning]

Lag was really bad last night, if you can stay alive though it becomes perfectly fine at about 50 players left. Most of my games I don't see anyone until around then anyway, but I got into a fight a few minutes after landing and everyone had instant transmission or some shit.

So should you just put the buyer pays price as the current highest price or what?

Yes, click sell and that's all there is to it. You'll get an e-mail when it sells, I sold a gamescom crate last night and it sold in about 5 seconds.

 

[Åesop]

yeah.. how about not rolling out a broken update, when everyone had these issues on the test server. Wasn't that the whole purpose of having a test server? They should take it back for now, so people can play while they work on it

I'm not defending it. Just saying it's good that they are actually communicating.

The test server is just for the gameplay patches right? This sounds like something has gone wrong with the server itself, or at least how they interact - nothing to do with the test server.

This is p much unprecedented for the game.

 

[Magwik]

What's up with the 500MB update?

 

[SomTervo]

What's up with the 500MB update?

Pretty big update with lots of cool stuff in?

I had lag issues on the test server.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Sold a gamescom crate and survivor crate, pretty cool system.

Now, do I use some money to open the other gamescom crate and gamble on the big leagues of getting some juicy expensive item.

 

[TheRed]

I had lag issues on the test server.

Yeah the issues are pretty much the same, at least the broken audio one is gone for me. That was horrible on the test server. They still just pushed the update when they probably should've delayed it another week.

 

[SlickShoes]

You realise the game is in Early Access? Things are going to break. It's amazingly been pretty smooth sailing since the game blew up but even still this is par for the course in EA.

 

[Lupercal]

I can sell them ?
I f I check the marketplace 2560 crates for sale starting 3.45 e

 

[Jobbs]

I don't know if I'd call it smooth sailing. The game runs terribly, crashes regularly, and has desync and significant lag as regular fixtures from launch until now. People put up with it because it's a good game and there's nothing else like it.

Right now they have the luxury of no real alternative existing, certainly no AAA alternative. If DICE or someone took on the genre and did it well they'd have a big problem, since DICE's games run smoothly and for the most part aren't laggy, disconnecty, crashy, buggy messes.

And yes, I realize it's early access, but I'm losing patience with that distinction as ea games are featured prominently in store fronts and make gabillions of dollars and are a huge business. I don't think the game will reach a magical state where it's a highly optimized, smooth running, lag free, bug free experience any time remotely soon. Certainly not within the next few months.

1PP is so good

I don't know how it was with Battlefield 1 but wasn't pretty much every Battlefield launch a disaster for them?

 

[Åesop]

Can people stop pulling the "early access" card as an excuse for everything? My issue is this:

Developer: hey guys, it's very important for us that we don't roll out updates that break the game or whatever, so we have this test server here bla bla
Players: this update sucks and breaks the game
Developer: nah whatever, lets put this on the real server anyway
Players: this update sucks and breaks the game
Developer: ooops lol, how did that happen? We will not move back to the last update, but this might take some time to fix so bear with us and enjoy

 

[Åesop]

I can sell them ?
I f I check the marketplace 2560 crates for sale starting 3.45 e

I can sell some stuff, but not the yellow pants. I think its not tradeable yet. I also cant find it on the marketplace to buy..

 

[Jobbs]

IIRC the only DIce game in recent history with major issues was BF4, but they resolved those issues within the first couple of months. I am not prescient but I anticipate PUBG being poorly optimized, buggy and laggy for many more months if not years.

PUBG is so poorly optimized, laggy and buggy that people putting up with it is a true testament to how much desire there is for this style of game.

Pushing it out of test server is the only way they can also mass troubleshoot what the issues on the back end were considering not everyone uses the test server.

More like 6 months for BF4, and I had more crashes with it than I have had with PUBG. This is a bad patch sure, but other than that the game has been constantly improving, and it has been perfectly playable, something that I would not say of early BF4, so your comparison with Dice is a bit of a joke. I still get angry remembering some of the bullshit with that launch

 

[Raxious]

wtf, i put some crates on the market, only to be greeted with a message that my listings are put on hold :s

First couple of months is way too generous. I could understand 6 months but for me I couldn't enjoy that until at least closer to 12 months after release, before then the game was always a laggy and buggy mess. Sure now it's a good game but that was horrible and I regretted my purchase that entire year I had issues. Was so disappointing because it was the first time I was gonna experience PC Battlefield since I built a good PC around then. But nope BC2 on xbox 360 was a way better experience. BF1 they did much better but BF4 was just the worst for such an expensive product especially with premium.

WTF how do people kill me so easily early game with this terrible lag?

 

[abracadaver]

I don't think a AAA developer could pull a BR game like PUBG off. It would be full of micro transactions and season passes and it will be watered down for console gameplay.

I've read that no one can sell gamescom stuff until the 10th August.

even my other crates are on hold, and I keep seeing messages that people sell them.
