Try moving the game to an SSD. This seems to be an issue with Unreal 4 texture streaming.

Yup. You can be fairly accurate into the medium range with it, but I try not to rely on it. I have seen streamers do jumping shots with it too lol

It feels like I'm lagging behind in playing this game
Like, I feel like I'm doing bad and I can't do anything about it.

When will people learn that grass doesn't hide you outside of the very late game circles!?
I got a good laugh out of these three.

They need to come up with a real solution, this shit is annoying in a lot of situations.
The solution is don't try hiding in grass when there are elevated positions around you.

So for someone new what are the guns I should always be looking to get? I assume the M16 for range and shotty for up close? Any tips or tricks to get looting done as fast as possible? Good keybind setups?
I thinking looting is a big thing slowing me down. Not sure what to pick up, what to attach, taking too long to see what I need, etc.

Yep, added in all game modes on NA/EU and Asia servers now
The solution is this
Where you render a green grass map at the same height as it normally would be over the game world at large distances.

Well... I guess I know what i'm doing tomorrow!
Still wouldn't matter much except at long distance. People go prone in the dumbest places expecting to magically become invisible.The solution is this

School Jacket being worth £10 is niiice. Though now I'm faced with not knowing whether this is the best time to cash in or sit on it for a while. Guessing sitting on it with the crates being limited and all.
More often than not going prone just makes it easier to hit you than if you were still running and zigzagging. It's alright if it's a hilly already, but I see people go prone in giant open areas way too often. Free kills I suppose.
If there's long grass around you, I don't see why the character should appear as if he's lying on barren ground - its a limitation of the engine, not some feature. You definitely should be more noticeable if being watched from higher ground, but as it stands currently, you stand out so well thanks to how the LOD works.
I watched this series when I was starting out, because I had the same feeling as you.

Ah yes, Play-doh houses. A friend of mine fixed this by moving the game from his HDD to his SSD. Might also work for you.
Check the GAF discord, info's in the OP.

Something that's helped me early on is picking a few moderately busy landing zones and just going to those. Not going to get better in a fight if I can't reliably find one, I'm having fun dropping in, looting as quickly as possible then hunting people down.
Bunkers are good for it, as are the smaller settlements.

The loot has been remarkably bad for me the past week or so.
Well that sucks because I already have an ssd :L
Ye, with BG it matters very little if game is on HDD or SSD.
You still at random do get issue with texture and even brige / house / wall asset loading no matter on which game is installed.
Limited Twitch loot price has decreased over the last 2 weeks. When the gamescom hype is over, prices for not so cool items like the simple white/black jacket will do the same. Especially if there is a new limited lootbox on the horizon.

Idunno, I've read a lot of people that had that issue constantly and an SSD solved it.
My friend used to get it every other game and ever since he moved it to his SSD it hasn't happened since.
I have had game always on SSD and I get those asset loading issues every now and then.
SSD doesn't fix it, just makes it rarer.
Yeah they need to fix this. Why have grass in the game at all if it's not actually included in the gameplay mechanics. Might as well have buildings that disappear at a distance too.
To be clear there are shooters that when you zoom in render the grass near the aiming area. I think GRAW series on 360 did it. Did tank the framerate though.
Not at all, not even close. I have gotten chicken dinners with the uzi.
Id say the most important item for dinners is silencers, no matter what weapon its for having a silencer gives you a huge leg up. Especially in solo where nobody notices when someone dies.
Also if you dont find what you need in the first 5-10 minutes of looting, you need to find people to kill and take their shit. People always bring scopes and meds.
That's a nice video. I'm going to check out the series which is the type of content about pubg I was looking for. I also joined the discord which I didn't know existed.

I've gotta call bullshit on this one...with respect, of course.
I consistently had loading crashes, things slow to load in, not getting into the lobby until 5 or 10 seconds left....Moved it from my 7200 drive over to my SSD and it was a completely new game. Seconds to load to the lobby, literally have not once had a load screen crash since, no problems with slow loads. Night and day difference, and it was immediate and has been consistent over the past couple of weeks.
I could not disagree more about PUBG not caring if it's on a platter or solid state.
Nah snipers and ARs are great for mid game (ARs are good at every stage in the game). I've won before using a shotgun and SMG late game.

I finished 2nd in a solo game last night with an M416 and SCAR basically because the other person had better positioning and took me out with an UMP. It's totally doable - never give up on a delicious dinner
Anyone else experiencing a weird bug with their mouse after playing some games in FPP?
Last night after playing around 3-5 games in Solo FPP, my mouse suddenly stopped registering left clicks about 1/4 of the time. I restarted my PC and the problem went away, I played some more FPP and it happened again after 3-5 games.
It made me think that it's a bug with the game rather than my mouse having a problem, but I don't really know. The clicking issue persisted even after closing the game, which I would associate with a mouse issue, but then why did it go away after a restart? Weird stuff.

Good to hear.
Also there's a YouTube channel called Fugglet. Dude has a lot of technical info that can be useful.

I on the other hand didn't notice a big improvement after moving it from my 7200 drive to my SSD. A bit faster load times, but they were already pretty short before. And after I moved it over was the first time I experienced the bug with no buildings loading in.
First and only, fortunately.
Haven't had a single crash so far.
This isn't what a lot of people have reported in this thread. The big problem people find is with an HDD, the game won't be loaded by the time they hit the ground from a parachute. With an SSD there is a massive improvement in that regard.
