Well fucking OK then lol.

Didn't even know that was possible, I only got the game yesterday so I'm still super noob, although I did have my best solo game today. #6 with 3 kills which for me is a massive improvement.

You can sell crates? Like... the ones you unlock with in-game currency?

Yeah, I sold one of the special ones for £1.52 and a basic one for £0.80 after fees, so £2.32 from one day of barely playing, at this rate the game will pay for itself in about 10 days which is crazy.

If you catch a tiny bit of air on a 2-wheel bike, if your back wheel hits the ground first it can send you into the spiral frontflip you experienced.

Tap left control when you catch air to lean your front wheel down so that it lands first. If your front wheel lands first 95% of the time you will maintain control.

Can you not sell newly acquired crates/keys until a certain amount of time passes?

Edit: Never mind, looked it up, I didn't realize steam had implemented a 7 day hold on EVERYTHING

You can immediately sell items from crates that you buy only with in-game points. The free crates and their contents have no market restriction. Only crates & their contents that are purchased for real cash have the 7 day hold.

The reason I never go on that fucking bike. Fucking flips at the slightest bump.

Seriously just tap left control whenever you get air and it's fine, haha.

Take the finger you usually leave on shift for boost off of it and put it on control instead, don't hold it down, but just tap it whenever you go up a little incline.

Learning to air control the 2 person bike and going at full speed all around the map without concern is amazing. It's super fun and you can cover distance really fast.

If only the bumps that send this bike to death city were actually inclines you can see and antecipate. Nope, you'll just be bumped out of nowhere and it will flip the fuck out. Using control in those situations does nothing.
 
I suspect it's harder to get that bike to land right in first person?

But it's also more forgiving I think. The other day I landed and must have done 2 front flips on the ground before the game ejected me with only a slight bit of damage. I can't see the tires so I don't know how it's going to land.

Anybody knows why my auto highlights option is greyed out?

I've seen that argument before, but only when it comes to PUBG for some reason.

I'm not sure why it has to be fair to everybody? Knowledge is a skill and all games have these (more or less) obscure tricks you eventually find out by playing the game, watching other players or even reading about the game.

I wouldn't call these mechanics obscure since they are widely used in other games, but yeah, some people miss them for some reason, and that's fine.

I disagree with that. Your use case is valid for something like editing the sensitivity settings per camera option, it's something everybody should take advantage for, it's not explicitly told but it's in the realm of possible to actually find out by yourself by simple observation.

This is a obscure unintended feature that is not bad enough to be removed or debugged and it's impossible to actually find out about this without actually stumbling on it on internet, like I did after 100h of gameplay and a few dinners.

Either way I'm not looking to blame anyone for using it, just stating my point of view.

Just installed this game and got a GPU temp warning in the lobby.

81 Celsius before the game even started.

Default settings.

Is this a known problem?

Is there a fix?

It´s a 1080 BTW.

Check GPU utilization %, not surprised if it's 100% or nearly 100%. When pushing settings to realm of High across the board game gets very GPU heavy.
 
I know this isnt a popular thought but I really wish this had a DeathMatch option where it would put you in on the spawn island with random weapons and 15-20 people like CSGO.

I just cant seem to get used to the weapons when I use them so little in most games. DM would definitely let me get used to them.

Has anyone else has issues with crates giving the same item every time?

Ive gotten 7 pairs of white combat pants in a row, which im sure is like 0.0000001% chance

they really need to add a shooting range with static and moving targets and all of the weapons plus attachments

Take the time at the start of a random game to do some target practice, use trees etc. Otherwise play squad games, more chance to shoot. Hang back and let your teammates be more agressive, you can then try some shots from a safer distance.

I wouldn't want a game-mode, but maybe a shooting range where you can practice. That'd be nice.

Nice! Thank you. I guess this works for AMD cards as well?
That I have no idea about. You could try to take a screenshot on the spawn island somewhere, then turn postprocess up and restart, then take the same screenshot again. Then post both pictures and we can guess if HBAO+ is on. :p
 
Finally picked this up. Any good videos or guides for newcomers? Also can anyone explain the store to me? Can you only buy keys from the community market?

Play the game to earn BP.

Spend BP on two different types of crates: Free crates, or paid crates (require a key to open). Right now the Paid crates are called Gamescom crates. Each crate you buy will increase the BP required to open another crate of that type.

After buying a Gamescom crate, click on it in your inventory to open up the crate dialog, which allows you to buy a key directly from the developer for $2.50.

Anything you spend real money on can be traded to the market after 7 days. DO NOT BUY KEYS FROM THE MARKETPLACE unless they're <$2.50 - there's no reason to buy them from the marketplace.
 
It's not obvious, but I found this on the Nvidia website:

To enable this game-enhancing technology, simply select a “Post Processing” detail level other than Very Low from the in-game settings menu.

https://www.geforce.com/whats-new/a...unds-adds-shadowplay-highlights-and-hbao-plus

Judging from the screenshot comparisons, it makes everything quite a bit darker. Guess I'll have to make sure my post proc is set to very low.

I'm all for good graphical tech but PUBG is certainly not a game where I would sacrifice FPS and visual clarity for something like HBAO. Especially since performance is already way lower than it should be on my GTX 1070.
 
Tried to put up a crate for sale but it's on hold until September 5th?

I even used the mobile authenticator to confirm it. I thought that's what removed the hold?

That's how I feel, I have to play on a mix of very low, low and medium to keep a reasonable frame rate with a GTX 970 and they're improving the graphics? I'd rather they optimised the game a little so I could improve the graphics by ya know, moving up to high or ultra settings.

I have a 6600K at 4.2 GHz + a 1070 + 16 GB RAM + SSD and my frame rate absolutely tanks once I get near any of the major cities. It's really irritating. This is on a mix of low and medium settings too, minus maxed out view distance.

Kinda wish optimization was a higher priority

Is HBAO+ particularly intense or something? I was under the impression most AO settings were relatively cheap to implement, from a processing perspective.
