I'm having a problem landing shots in FPP. Not sure if more de-sync than usual but the hit reg feels super sketchy. Thinking about lowering FOV to about 90 to see if that changes anything. Currently at max (103?).
Is this just me or others noticing this too?
Also, #teamsingleclickADS

Clicking once is ADS, holding it is hip-fire mode.
But i've had a friend mention a bug where he had to double click every time he wanted to go into ADS as well. Sounds super annoying.

On another note, I have a feeling that the first-person servers are largely going to make the TPS servers obsolete. Everyone that has played a few rounds in first-person has given the impression that it's the best way to play the game. It's completely different.
Edit: Is this double-click thing a meme i'm not getting or what? Or a setting i'm not seeing?

You can double click if you want to hold instead of toggle ADS. Single click is a toggle and the way I do it.
It's likely just a simple single click but ADS toggles on mouse up, so the way it works for double click, you tap and then click and hold (double click but you don't release the second click). It's stays ADS until you release the right mouse button. Effectively, though it works as a hold for those that do not like an ADS toggle.

If you have an SSD you should download the game there. Made a huge difference for me.

Game is okay, but I kind of dont see myself playing long as it feels very repetitive. I know it's pre-alpha, but the concept just feels very boring. As soon as you land, its a mad dash for loot, and then clearing the area. If you're unlucky to spawn close to the play area, you are sprinting to get there. All that is fine as the in-between is like a sandbox, but there really isn't much to do outside of player interaction.
If you are in the play area, you move slowly and just try to set up, which is fine... but the weapons, attachments all feel samey and there isn't enough refinement to make things like grenades feel fun to use.
The clunkiness tends to make the encounters unfun. Like, in CQC, and urban warfare, tight controls like, say Siege or Last of Us, would make the game feel very rewarding. Here it doesn't feel that good.
Very little is there in the way of variety. Finding enemies is fun, as is killing them. Maybe I just need to do better to feel it click. I think Ive gone as far as Top 15, which was exciting, but getting tied down to a random area doesnt feel fun.
Like, if the final area was in a really good area with buildings and stuff like that, it would be awesome. At around like 20 players and 10 players, it would be nice to have areas that feel like they were built for that number, but I know its hard to build the game like that.
I kind of feel like getting a refund. Does anyone know the roadmap for this game's future? Im really surprised its as popular as it is actually. Did it take a while for some of you guys to get it to click?

No
The stuff in the crates is worth way less than the crate itself
Dont gamble with crates
Rather just sell it unopened for $3 or wait a year, because it might go up in value

Maybe people are confusing FPS from TPS mode.
In TPS, double click is Aim Down Sights. In FPS, single click is fine. TPS has a secondary sight mode I believe.
If you have an SSD use that.
After the most recent patch this game has become almost unplayable for me. Buildings take 10 to 20 to load on landing typically followed by the game freezing for a few seconds. Makes it so I can't land in contested areas at all.
I've also had some recurring audio issues. Specifically while playing this game (and only this game) Discord will sporadically stop hearing my mic or detecting my push to talk button. I have to reconnect to the voice channel for it to maybe reconnect for another 5 minutes. Anyone else having problems with Discord while playing pubg? At one point I thought it was because I muted in game voice since my problem fixed for awhile if I had the game set to push to talk in all channels. Now that doesn't seem to help.

Single click ADSes in TPS as well. It's a tap. Works the same in FPS and TPS.
okay yall high
Its most likely because you have different sensitivity.
Higher fov = higher sens
So you have to lower your sens in FPP because you use higher FOV.

So is buying these gamescom crates and selling them ones they aren't available a good idea because.. it seems that way.
Probably. The fact that you get only one item at random for $2.50 USD is kind of crazy pricing.

Yeah the amount people will buy these for is crazy. I sold my wanderer crate and spent like 30p of it on a black top, camo trousers, glasses and gloves and im good. Will sell any crates i get me thinks.
Not for everyone.
I was playing a duo match just last night where the guy tried everything. He just had to double-tap to get to ADS.
When I double tap, I go in and out of ADS. I guess it's a bug?

So since the update I've had two matches where the buildings were invisible and I could shoot through them, and clip through them awkwardly. Just had another match with the same effect but the buildings were just barely textured. I'll probably just quit right away next time it happens because it's suuuper broken.
Like hold on them until next year? At that point most of those on the market will have been opened and the prices will keep rising.

Maybe. The game is far from bug free but this is the first I've heard of this one.
Really depends on how lucky you are
. But in average you should sell them. Better have a guaranteed 3$.Huge Succeeded

That's the second time I've read about the double tap glitch in this thread
Both matches didn't go well. Need to work on my play style. It's either go at it or wait it out.

anyone here watching TSM_BreaK? I'm sure there is.
anyways..
everytime I tune in to him, he is gathering stuff outside the blue circle, then at the end, he takes a vihicle, and drives into the final circle, sometimes across the whole map, heals himself with all the stuff he garthered and starts actual killing people.
what do you think about that tactic?

Single tap works for me. That's even the case with Windows Aero, Fraps, and the Steam overlay.
I wonder if there's some other common videocard / overlay / streaming / whatever program that causes this for people.

First time I heard of peeps double clicking. This oddly amusing to me. Haha

I just started playing a little more seriously and using headphones. I just tried out the noise equalization...it is a big advantage. But it's an advantage I'm probably going to use regularly. This was my second game using it. It also helps when people miss shots and use bad strategy, lol. I don't know why the guy ran into the house but I could hear him coming clearly. https://streamable.com/24bdb
I had to double click to get ADS, didn't even realize it was a bug thought everyone had to. I thought they changed it because it was working single click in 1pp.

Glad to hear it worked for you! In almost any multilayer fps it's seriously helpful.
It makes the plane seriously loud though lol

It has to be pretty rare. Between all of the Streams I've watched and all of the people I played with on the gaf pubg discord, I've never heard of it until now.
Nothing but bad luck today! Bad loot, bad circles, bad positions, bad situations. Bad bad bad. Still enjoyed myself though.
Highlight must've been me zigzagging towards a guy with a shotgun who got me down to 5% hp before I basically decapitated him with a machete.
Or the time where for some reason 9 or 10 people landed at almost the same building in Rozhok and the guy who found an AR killed 5 or 6 of them in a row.

I thought I had a pretty good PC but I can only run this on low. I tried medium, but it randomly freezes for like 3 seconds every now and then. Is the game just not optimized, or am I just out of date?

Do you have an SSD? It's hard to say without your specs. I will say though that the game is pretty RAM heavy and CPU taxing it seems.

Its a valid one. I saw a Korean streamer who did the same thing and he got top 5 iirc. Hugging the circle like that is a completely valid tactic if you want to win. Not as fun to watch, but well..its play how you want lol.
My stream cut off but I got a kill and ended up #11. My best game to date.

It's pretty standard.
Circle starts to doing real damage after the third one.. you can bandage through the first 2 circles and keep looting.
It's valid if you want to play the edge and keep rotating last.
You can pretty much ignore them. I've been killed by 2 in my 200 hours or so and I regularly run through them.
I have the worst luck with them, have died multiple times, just yesterday I even got hit by one while I was inside the second floor of a 3 story building, like WTF. Lol I'm scared of red zones...

Got killed by a red zone yesterday for the first time in my 100+ hours. Lol

Most common death for me is catching up with white zone with blue closing in and someone hanging in the blue zone coming out and killing me.
Clearly people just sit in blue zones waiting for people to leave their hiding spot. I personally would rather more damgage in blue from the get go but what ever.
