I absolutely agree with using the red dot scope and switching to a 4x or whatever when you need it. I also did the .ini tweak to remove mouse smoothing which I found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGR...ow_to_actually_disable_mouse_smoothing_it_is/
I use a Razer Mamba with 1300 dpi and no acceleration and the mouse movement instantly felt a lot snappier and tighter. They just need to add a "Raw Mouse Input" option like CS:GO and most other shooters.

Anyone get random as hell fps drops? Sometimes my fps will drop to like ~15 fps and stay there for a little bit. Then after a while or i die due to my fps drops, my fps will return to normal around above 60 fps.

Yeah happened to me yesterday in a large city. My entire group actually. went from 60-15.

That's a similar location to me as well. It also happen in a field/woods area once I believe.
It seems like server issues. At least once per match my fps will drop massively for a few seconds, but never more than once and it's usually in the first 3-5 minutes or so. It will literally drop from 100+fps to 20fps or so.
So I encountered what might've been a.... curious strategy. I mean, if their goal was to determine if anyone was already at Prison (and if so, where they were), mission accomplished.
Still killed 'em, but hey. Interesting angle.

Yet again, duo FPS mode, 98 players on server, I don't have a partner. No one shows up even in the lobby.
It seems really weird for about half of my games to have this yet for servers to be so full. No one else is seeing it on NA?
*edit* Literally the very next match: 99 joined, no partner.

You might want to check if you disabled automatic matchmaking
As you hover over the play button to select modes/servers, there's a little checkbox. Only shown in duos/squads obviously.

waiting for patch notes like...
That checkbox only shows up for squad, for me. Duo FPS doesn't have it.

I'm never gonna get chicken dinner
RNGeesus loves everyone equally (° ͜ʖ °) be patient
Downloaded this on a whim with my weak system (GTX 860m) figuring I can get a refund if it really ran poorly. I put it to 900p 100% scale on mostly low settings. Getting about 30-35 FPS with occasional stutters. For me it felt quite playable and graphics on low don't look quite as horrendous as I imagined (very low is another story). Played 5 matches and finished #6 on my last one.
I'm right at the 2 hour limit for a refund request now, but even though I know I'm not getting great performance, I think this game has hooked me enough that I don't really care. Next goal is to finish in the top 5.

Had 2 squad chicken dinners yesterday. First one was with randoms. We ended up bridge camping the east bridge to military base, yes we were those people. We had 3-4 groups come through there, one made it through, or at least 1 or 2 people. After that the circle closed behind us in the valley south of the bridge. While driving up a hill we had a guy shooting at us, both me and my squadmate in the front seat of the car popped out to shoot him. I accidentally TKed him like an idiot. The next 5 minutes I was apologizing profusely. We ended up picking off the rest as the circle closed even further and won.
2nd win was with GAFers. We drove north to the circle pretty early and ended up on the other side of the mountain Stalbar is on. They had a supply drop on the side of the mountain but another team got to it. We ended up losing one guy to them and had to escape to the west side which ended up probably winning us the game due to our positioning for the remaining circles. We were able to straddle the rocks that aren't far off the ground each time the circle moved. We had to take out 3 people that came from some buildings not far from the base of the mountain and overall got downed 2-3 times ourselves throughout the rest of the match. As I was trying to flank right during the last circle, one of our other squad members took out the last 2-3 people that ended up coming into the open.

Question: What do you all use to get short moments of your gameplay into gifs? I don't mean from video to gif (I found gfycat to be good for that), but I mean do you record a whole video and cut out frames?
I know there's Shadowplay to record, and to get the last x minutes/seconds of a moment, but I'm not sure if that's what the majority use?

If youre on the newest version of Windows 10 then you can use Game DVR to save the last 30s. You may already have it enabled, it just runs in the background.
I need to fix mine somehow. Whenever I try to use the save replay feature or just record all the time it tells me there's nothing to record. You can change the settings I think to make it longer than the last 30 seconds.

Mine had stopped working too, but it fixed itself when I changed the keyboard shortcut. Worth a try?
Use Windows 10 Game DVR as the above poster suggested to record gameplay, I record the last 3 minutes, an average 3 minute clip comes out to around 220MB.
Then I use the command line utility ffmpeg to:
Trim the video to the time range I want
Remove Audio from the video if I sound like a dork or if I have background noise
Concatenate videos together to make a single video with multiple clips
and other functions on my clips until they're how I want them, then I upload them to streamable if they have audio or gfycat if they don't.
Then I use the command line utility ffmpeg to:
Trim the video to the time range I want
Code:
Create a video that lasts 8 seconds starting at 0:03
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:03 -t 00:00:08 -c copy output.mp4
Code:
Copy a video without keeping the audio track
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -an output.mp4and other functions on my clips until they're how I want them, then I upload them to streamable if they have audio or gfycat if they don't.
Hmm, I'll have to try that after work today. Is it just the shortcut to bring up the menu, or the recording buttons?

I just had to change the shortcut for saving the clip, I never use the actual game bar.
I used Nvidia' software to stream to Youtube. I don't do much with a video except let Youtube process it and I can edit it. That way I don't waste space unless I want to do some editing or something.
Alright, thanks. I'll see if it works.

Far too many matchmaking complaints about this game, the matchmaking is superb and super fast.

lmao wut this isn't what the complaints are about.
They aren't getting matched with players.

OK. i'll tell you how I really feel.
Battlegrounds has honestly has been the least buggy, flawless matchmaking for me and 1-3 friends getting into a game together every time. And that's 100 player games to boot! I want to heap praise on BlueHole for that alone. I want to scream 'shit, have you seen the matchmaking on this game?!? It's generally flawless and fast as fuck, incredible!'
So when I see complaints about duo auto-matching, well, maybe it's a bug, but it's worked for me when i tried it. I don't want to paint this as an edge case, but how common is going into duo's on your own? Maybe there are just lots and lots of people already in a 2 player party, and it couldn't find you a partner.
Just tried it, didn't work.
edit: Apparently playing borderless windowed is what's messing with it. I tried fullscreen and it recorded fine. I might just try a different program to record, I hate playing fullscreen.
Maybe, it just seemed odd that it would happen repeatedly with 99 people on a duo server, and I was literally the only one without a partner.
I don't even mind that sometimes, but it definitely happened a lot to me last night.I've been running into this issue when playing where I must be hitting a combination of buttons, but basically my bindings change. W becomes prone/stand toggle, Z becomes run forward, Map becomes : instead of M. I have no idea what's causing this. Anyone seen this before? Sometimes I've been able to resolve it by hitting some combo like Ctrl, shift z. lol
there's people that play solo in a duo on purpose for the challenge or even by accident I suppose. if an odd number of people do that I suppose it could cause that. seems unlikely it would happen repeatedly though.Maybe, it just seemed odd that it would happen repeatedly with 99 people on a duo server, and I was literally the only one without a partner.
You might try increasing your FOV a little bit in options.
However, I do feel like the FPS camera in Battlegrounds feels a little more floaty than something like CSGO, and I also feel like there is some subtle head bob or sway when moving around which could give people motion sickness.
I really REALLY hope they have servers for Africa on the cards
From the equator down to South Africa gets so fucked with high pings
Playing on EU I get 100 to 140
Everywhere else its 300+
Sucks. Ive gotten so many 2nd and 3rd place finishes because my shots don't register. Its only an issue with fights 60m and closer. People eating a whole mag of AK ammo and then turning and one shotting me gets really old

yeah i tried adjusting it a few times in between matches, but since it's not something i usually change i suppose i wasn't able to find the sweet spot

not quite the same but...I play with a PS4 controller and this has been happening since the last update. I will press the circle button to go Prone for instance and it will bring up my geForce Experience Quick Menu occasionally. Or I will press the touchpad which is mapped to (tab) for my inventory and it will bring up the Steam overlay menu. My favorite is when I bring up the map it randomly Alt+tabs me out of the game for some reason. And since I am playing with a controller I can't alt+tab back without fetching my keyboard.
This has all been in FPP mode since the FPP update. Never encountered this in Third person.
So maybe it's a bug with the new mode?
I wasn't in FPP mode, so not sure
but its really annoying and I'm not sure what I'm hitting to do it. Never happens to my duo partner ever either. Have also hit a bug or somethign where Z just doesn't work and I can't go prone (no Prone blocked message) on flat areas
