It is at an all time high of 699,000 right now, so I'd say we are already there.
Chances it will pass 700,000 in the next hours, maybe even considerably, are very high.

Was having problems every game with buildings taking a while to load after touching down, caused me an early death on more than one occasion. Moved it over to my SSD And holy hell its so much faster, everything loads while I'm still in the air now.

On another note, i'm so tired of the loot spawn system.
Like yesterday, dropping somewhere playing duo, nothing but pistols, T1 backpacks, no scope. Bitching about it.
Next game, three 8X, three 4X, all in the same place. Well, most of the others players were the bitching ones this time i guess...
Another game, four T3 helmet in the same place... in STABLER.
This is ridiculous. How complicated is it to allocate loot evenly so everyone can have a share?
And it itsn't related to those pseudo"high rick high reward" zone.
We had entire cities for ourselves last night and found nothing but crap.
Seriously, ten minutes of looting going through EVERY bulding to find a 2X scope and uzis...

They most likely are messing with loot spawn and distribution algorithms at background to test different variations. Looking for best blend they want to run with it. "High risk, high reward" zones were true at one point.
Why should everyone get a share? If you are trying to give everyone equal loot, at some point you might as well just implement loadouts. I like how the loot works in this game. Very rarely do I get everything I need from just looting houses, and I generally only get all of the items that I need by killing people and looting them. Making it so that I had this assumption that I was going to get loot is always true would make this game boring for me, and I would probably stop playing.

I resent how easily this guy killed me. I get that crate weapons need to be hot shit and all that, but that thing needs some fucking recoil. Slow motion. All 5 shots dead on from that distance like a laser.

Every time I open the inventory my frame rate halves and it's pissing me off so much, I've searched the issue and I'm not alone so hopefully they'll fix it :/

maybe he just pulled down on you, he was crouched also. you were also pretty close together

That's not what i meant by getting a share
.
FInding six scope or four T3 helmets in the same building is ridiculous, You know on the other side of the map some people will get nothing but crap.
I didn't say you need to have one of each items in every building or found every stuff you need in the same pack of house.
There is a middle ground to be found.

YEah and i think there are no more.
Everyone keeps refering to that map made by SHatter or whatever but thing is everything but accurate now.
And most likely will never be that snappy. Game is meant to be on no mans land between ArmA simulation and CoD style more arcade FPS.
That map most likely can be kept as accurate as it was after devs really randomized vehicle spawns and messed once or twice with loot spawn algorithms.

4th chicken dinner! I always have really poor start when I win. Again I was way behind the blue wall searching for a car. Luckily I had enough healing items to survive. Found AKM very late game and only killed last 2 guys because didn't see anyone else. Military base is pretty fun place for last circles.

End game is stressful for sure. But I remember watching a stream before buying it of a duo and they were sitting in a house. And they were just looking for enemies and then hat a gun fight at some point.
When I play all there is, is running to the next circle.
Fought what I think was the world's worst hacker yesterday. He drove a buggie through the building i was in several times trying to kill me. Going through walls with it, literally. Then he proceeded to try to kill me at long range through a bunch of walls. He could hit crap, I managed to hit him a bunch but neither of us downed. Tried to hunt him down or die so I could report him, but never was able to find him. Was laughing the entire time.
That thing about being able to just sit still or need to run 24/7 is just about luck.
Edit: Also you can mitigate need for run by just using vehicles to blast around. When circles get small enough you stop using them as you can easily run those short shrink caps.
Yeah it shat the bed hard, was doing well up to the point though. I got six kills with double barrel in army base but sadly Geforce corrupted the mp4 save and I'm not sure I can recover it at all.

How's the controller support for this game? I wanted to try it out before the console versions come out.
I use a DS4, so maybe it works better with a Xbox controller, but the support is not good. There's a known glitch that when you parachute down in the beginning, you can get stuck in the air when you use a controller. They still haven't fix that. The only solution is to not move your parachute as you're falling, which gives you a big disadvantage.
Also changing the controller button mapping almost never saves for me, so I have to redo the settings everytime.
YMMV
Outside of initial plane flight and paradrop (a lot rendered and loaded in at that moment) I get locked 60FPS @ 1080p, but then I run game on low settings outside of AA, Draw Distance and Texture Quality because I don't see benefit in increasing effects and such to blur already blurry game even more.
I have i5 6600K, 16GB and 980Ti.
Hard to judge what performance you'd get when you don't post your specs, but I'll give you the same advice I'd give you even if you posted it;
Buy it on steam, play a few matches and if it plays too badly for you - refund
Whats your setup for crouch jumping through windows?
I can maybe get through a window 1 in every 20 tries atm
Two Duo FPP dinners last night with my friend. We are a wrecking crew when we're both in sync, which is often. Loot luck last night was total garbage though. Could barely find any medical supplies the entire night like the game just decided it wasn't going to spawn med kits/FAKs/boosters/bandages at all.
Also - getting pretty tired of every damn circle coming down to the wheat fields south of Poly. Probably happened like 4 times last night, and multiple times the past week. It's the new military base final circle location, I guess, and it sucks.

on the controls screen, click on crouch and press shift and jump. save and apply. Then go into C:\Users\*your username*\AppData\Local\TslGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and change the jump action to:
(ActionName="Jump",Keys=((Key=SpaceBar),(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True)
The Crouch ActionName should look like:
(ActionName="ToggleCrouch",Keys=((Key=C),(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True)))

They've optimized it a lot. You'll be fine unless your computer is ancient. I get ~100 fps with all settings maxed on a 7700k and 980ti. My friends are getting 60+ fps with older machines and lower settings.

Ran over someone just before this with me on a slither of health, then it was a battle of crap driving vs dodgy shooting with this one.

I had an idea for a mod, what do you think ?
Zombie Turning Mod:
1* When a player die, he would respawn as a zombie 3 minutes later, in the same spot he died. [Maybe randomized timer for the corps to turn]
2* Zombie running speed go 3 time faster in blue zone. They are also stronger in the blue zone, making the blue zone even more stressful.
I think that by those 2 simple rule implementation, it could give life to amazing emergent gameplay and it's better than the simple zombie mod.

The gunplay is what makes it so good tbh

The gunplay and the sound of the guns gets it right for me. What no other game like this has.
Hopefully it will go up again when you can no longer buy them ingame and they become a finite good.Okay, I bite. What makes gunplay ruining point for you?

Oh man, I LOVE it when my parachute glitches on nothing, and then when I try to loot stuff after finally hitting the ground, I get the loot noise and the arm reaching animation but no actual loot.
Really makes me want to use the perfectly functional in-game microtransaction system and help these devs out, that's for sure

It's a mod born from a milsim, what the hell were you expecting?
If you aren't a fan, wait for some AAA company to dumb it down.
Those two things seem nothing near similar.
Don't you know? You need purchase GC crate key for every item you want to loot during match.

Why do I keep hearing its a mod of arma? The credits clearly state its built with unreal engine

Grabbed the game today and got my first chicken dinner, by far my best game so far. I also won one yesterday on my friends account but it feels good to get my first win on my own account.
So far I've put 12 hours into the game and it's a roller coaster, you go from having bad game after bad game to having that one great game that erases all those bad ones, it really does get intense at the end and when I got the final kill in that game I screamed lol, it felt great.
