Happened on my HDD. Haven't had the issue once since moving it to my SSD.
Yeah lol I've seen it a few times in my 300+ hours on my SSD. Pretty rare but it still happens. Also have had no buildings visible at all a few times.

Had 2 rain matches in a row
I hate rain matches in FPP

Yeah, but they are not guaranteed. Knowing my luck I'd hate the game and then be refused a refund.
Uhhh, yes they are?
If you play less than two hours or own it for less than two weeks, it's an instant refund no questions asked...
Rain is my favorite weather! It makes things both more and less dangerous, but it's such a lovely ambiance.
Got my first win today in a duo fpp, 50+ hours total played. Had lucky circles and never got into any close fights. Killed a guy in a ghillie suit and looted that and an ar suppressor. Used them to flank the last guy while my buddy kept him busy pinging the tree he was hiding behind.
I mean, if you're under two hours played, within two weeks of purchasing, you shouldn't be denied a refund, at least that's what I figured, I haven't heard of anyone being denied one if they're within those rules. I could be wrong.

2nd win. Again with 5 kills, so not super eventful til the end. I'm not avoiding combat, but I only see people when I'm driving to the next circle and jumping out of a moving vehicle has proven to be bad for my health....
Now that the novelty of winning has warn off a bit, I might start getting super aggressive in the early game just to get some of that hectic free-for-all practice in.

It racks up the anxiety for me. Like, I'm in a bathroom near the last circle, this fucker opens and enters without me hearing him(I still killed him).
On a side note, I got what I believe is my longest snipe ever? It was a guy in a car crossing a bridge, I had to use the 3rd pip down on the scope to actually kill him. He was about 450 meters away, it's not impressive by any means, but for me it's pretty damn cool. It surprised me because I was just going to take potshots but ended up actually killing him.
(I was on the mountain on the military island)

Is there any character progression between games other than cosmetics?

Nope. Not sure what kind of progression there could possibly be. Everyone is meant to be on a level playing field at the beginning of every game. "Character progression" is basically the lessons you learn everytime you die.

Got my first win!! Solo FPP. Took 46 hours but I finally got that chicken dinner
8 kill chicken dinner video highlight:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPt3n6T7PeQ (winning kill at 0:57)
When it was down to final 2, I got shot at first by a ghillie suit guy and somehow survived. I eventually located the guy and used tree cover to outshoot him. Goddamn that was exhilarating.

what's the best way to record clips?
i tried windows game dvr and the audio is usually fucked up and stuttering and doesn't seem to capture my discord conversations ( which i want)
i'm now trying nvidia shadowplay and it seems pretty nice but it records my microphone audio at something like 2x the volume of the game and voices from discord. i tried turning it down to 50% and found that it actually affected my mic's volume and my discord pals couldn't hear me.
any ideas?
also lovin this game. got back to back squad dinners the other day after not winning a match for weeks

I just back out of rain matches, shit is way too loud.
A night map or even night 'time-of-day' for the current map would be awesome. Give players flashlight attachments for weapons or something...would be scary as fuck. I've seen people suggest for a mode like this there should be night-vision goggles in crates but that would be way too OP, unless they had a battery and limited use or something.
IIRC Bluehole discovered a network/lag issue in the Unreal 4 engine code that the Unreal team are working on fixing, but as it requires a rewrite of part the engine code it might take a few months or so.
I'm using GameDVR myself, the audio is usually perfect(other than being out of sync a few times) but I don't record my mic.
I installed Geforce Experience the other day for the first time since ~2013 so I could use Shadowplay and the new "auto record highlights feature", but I found it fucking useless. The first game I got 4 kills in the first 30 seconds or so, and I got a screen prompt saying "Multikill saved" so I was like sweet, then when I watched it the clip was ~2 seconds long...then another time it failed to save a roadkill, it recorded the 30 seconds or so before the kill...so I uninstalled Geforce Experience and went back to GameDVR...

I'm such a liar.
3rd win! For reals though. Now I'll be super aggressive....
I kinda like it every now and then. Let's you sneak up on people a little easier. But I wouldn't want every round to be in the rain.
Virtually every time I think I'll be super aggressive, I either:
* End up dying to a fully loaded autoshotgun / SMG within 5-10 seconds of touching the ground, despite racing for the ground as quickly as possible.
* End up playing like a coward for 10 minutes in a building while trying to locate someone I saw 8 minutes ago.
* End up seeing maybe 1 nearby person for the first 15 minutes.

450h+, never happened.
Sounds like people with SSD have some other bottleneck somewhere.
So far that I have found is:
HDD
Slow/not enough RAM
Slow net
Did you update nvidia drivers recently? The newest one a few days ago is supposed to optimize PUBG

My friend has 8GB RAM/SSD and gets the no textures issue quite often, I have 16GB RAM/SSD and have never had it.

I swear the optimal way to play this is to move at the exact same speed as the blue line 2 feet in front of it at all times. Then you stay there in that exact same spot until it starts to move again.

First couple of times it happened they'd load up correctly within a minute or two. Now it's all game.
If you do it a lot, especially within a short period of time, they do crack down on you. They'll give you a warning first though.
I've gotten it a few times with 16 gb.
Anecdotally, I seem to get it less than my friend with 8 gb.

Sometimes this game makes me want to rage, I clip a twig in the field which flips my buggy and someone kills me because of it. A fucking twig should not flip a damn vehicle.
The best way for me now is to do a little of both. As far as being aggressive just look for a vest and a shotgun or smg and go find someone. I still like to go for wins but I find those scrambles at the beginning to be much more fun.

I get like 70 to 90fps, but the game keeps fucking lurching in the early match. What's going on?

I think it's a server issue honestly, my friends and I will call out when our games freeze/hitch and it's always at the exact same time. For me it's not just the early game either, and it's not every game but most.
Don't really understand how to get this Shadowplay highlights working. At first it was just recording deaths so I went into GFE options and checked that off and left everything else on. Now I go into matches and it refuses to record anything like kills or knockouts. Made sure the overlay was enabled and the setting is enabled in the game. Updated to the latest drivers which didn't fix it either.
Sounds like a really neat feature (I don't get many kills so it's nice to have the few I get saved as a form of proof it actually happened), though it doesn't seem to want to work on my system.

In addition to a shooting range with sniper rifles and targets at various distances that record hit registration, I would love an even faster respawn deathmatch mode.
Small map area, everyone starts with the same weapon and/or has to find a weapon, respawn instantly once everyone is dead without having to load through the menu and parachute.
Basically something like recreating a school drop without having to wait 3 minutes for lobby and parachute time.

I just want to land somewhere that's not completely desolate for several circles but also doesn't have someone immediately picking up an M16 and poppin' my dome right after I land is that too much to ask.
I just accidentally landed in the middle of the ocean between the military island and Primorsk. It took literally 2-3 minutes of auto-swimming to reach Primorsk. There was maybe 1 other person who parachuted within miles, landing far away from me in Primorsk, and presumably unable to see my head bobbing for 3 minutes straight.
Within 10 seconds of me running up the beach, far outside the circle, someone I couldn't see killed me with a couple of hits from a SCAR.

Swimming underwater is ~30% faster.
Landing in Primorsk, see no one else with me, frantically checking for parachutes and see nothing. Loot two houses, get shot by someone with an AKM. I don't even understand.
edit: Camping the bridge early on, 4 kills already, fully kitted out, park my car, get out, clip an edge, float in the sky, Divius died from falling.
It's going to be one of those days.

God,so stressful at times. Got into the prison with a bit of a firefight. Got a grenade kill and then got killed looting in the stairway. Which I knew was a bad idea at the time but still tried it.

They showed off the vaulting yesterday before the tournament started. You won't get anything today. The Invitational is over.
