This has been the case for some time I think. I restart the game every 5-6 games to fix it.

Just spent 15 minutes straight looking for a vehicle... slowly dying to the circle. Finally found a vehicle. I make it in with 5% health. I find a house. I get out. Before I open the door, 1 shot kills me.
Fun game.
Followed it by a win. Had no scopes at all until the 2nd guy I killed... which is why I wasn't being super aggressive even with a Kar98 the whole game.
Gotta remember to turn off that 120% res scaling. It's killing my performance.

Is anyone else getting alot of crashing recently? My friend crashed 4 times in one game tonight.
Not really, my cousin played on my PC for 7 hours straight with no crashes whatsoever.

So they are back to the old patching routine now? Still no fix for the server defaulting to AS

The ghillie suit is really strong in FPP.
I lost a game to a guy that had one. Endgame was in a field with a lot of high grass and he kept shooting me while I was unable to locate him.
I had to rewatch my replay in slow motion to finally see him and it was just because he had his secondary weapon that was visible for a moment.

I've won once in TPP and once in FPP.
Both times I said "no backpack, or more than a single weapon, so I can present a smaller target"
I like this strategy!

my goodness. just got my first Chicken Dinner after 55 hours in a 4-man squad. we started off weak and two of us died because we were split up around the pier. we decided to just go rambo, hot and heavy because fuck it, but we managed to kill all 4 of the others. we then just kept looking for trouble and wound up going to convenient spots for the circle. i had gotten a silenced M16 and TONS of healing (1 medkit, 10+ first aid, 10+ energy drinks), that I never really wound up using except the medkit which saved my ass. The last three circles we just had to be prone because the entire thing took place in the low yellow grass. it was a rush haha. felt good. also I love suppressors. the very last guy I couldn't see because he blended into the grass so fucking well, but my squadmate took him out right after he knocked me out.
The Nvidia driver update of August boosted my performance a lot.
And I mean a whole lot, it's like a completely different experience. Before I was stuttering every 3 steps, it was borderline unplayable for me. The stutter is now significantly lower and I can actually keep a framerate that doesn't tank because of constant stutter.
Just FYI in case anyone is struggling and has forgotten to update the drivers, might help you too.

Closest I've come to a Chicken Dinner yet, spent the first few minutes of the game slowly drifting down to the pier, and once I'd landed I was in the top 70. Spent the rest of the game playing the edge of the circle, drifting between the little bunkers and guarding the doors. Let the rest of the top 10 take each other out at the one remaining house whilst I saw behind a rock, got taken down when reloading a crossbow, can't be too mad though, the closest I'd had before this was #19!

Few questions.
Is this game controller friendly and is it viable?
And also, I'd be playing on a 4k 43 inch tv, can I expect many issues with that?

There is controller support, but it's not viable at all. I recommend waiting for the Xbox One version if you wanna play with a gamepad.
As someone who would happily play with a controller because keyboard/mouse is pretty horrible in this game outside of the menus, controller isn't viable at all yet.
I tried using a wired 360 pad. There are UI button prompts which is nice, but no customisation options and it controls even clunkier than the game usually does, which is saying something.
Hopefully the impending XBO version will force some rapid improvement.

I don't know what this means. Where's nothing wrong with it. The game plays great with a mouse and keyboard.
140 hours in.... horrible in no way whatsoever.

Player movement is floaty and has an irritating amount of inertia, which isn't really a KB/M issue and will probably be rectified somewhat with the vaulting update since the issue really crops up when trying to line up a jump.
Mouse movement with aiming also does not feel as tight and responsive as other FPS game but I can't tell if it's from poor performance or if there's some level of forced acceleration / smoothing. But the mouse aiming feels noticeably inferior to Battlefield, for example.
I still would never pick a controller over KB/M for this game.
I think that's the point. I mean I'm all for DOOM games but this is supposed to be more in line with ARMA and have characters imitate real life for the most part, weighty movement, loosey aiming and all.
If you "rectify" that it turns into H1Z1/Fortnite and we already have these games for arcadey battle royale.

Everything I'm taking about can be hand-waved away by saying that it is in Early Access and all still being worked on, which I accept that it is. That said, 'the games plays great' seems a very strong statement to make given the current state of the game. Controlling the game feels more like playing something like Roblox than playing anything from a major dev studio. It works, but that's about it.
(Other than the map and inventory screens, which work really well with kb/m, and I think will struggle to convert to controller on XBO without them relaxing the time limits a little bit to allow for faffing.)
It's a fun game, and I'll keep playing and tweaking sensitivity/control settings in the hope that one day I'll hit upon a combination that feels good to me.
I'll take this under consideration. I haven't been running a frame counter, but the monitor I'm using is an old one so I'm 60fps at best and possibly below that in action.
EDIT: Playing a bit of Wildlands on PS4 just now, not the best controlling game, but light-years ahead of PUBG even with a controller. I really can't see that I'm saying anything controversial here. The game needs work to go from 'fun' to 'good', but it's still in EA so hopefully it'll get it.

If the mouse aiming feels bad at any FPS under 80, then it needs to be reworked.

There's a download in progress for the test server for me. I just opened steam. Maybe that's it?

I've connected to an NA game so it does seem to just be the EU servers. That shouldn't have anything to do with test server stuff I don't think?
EDIT: Guess it's fixed I just got in
Just joined a game. Went from 99 to 75 players before it started, so maybe some issues, but played out okay.
I'm pretty new to PUBG and still fairly garbage overall, but this was a fun moment. A UAZ was headed right for me as I was hiding in the grass and my buddy started shooting at the driver to make him veer off-course. We ended up wiping their squad.

Aiming feels pretty good to me at anything above 60FPS or so. I'm usually at 70-90+ but I've experimented with graphic settings that impact FPS quite a bit such as the resolution scaling option.
Below 60FPS it feels less responsive than I'd like but I'd expect that as all games play kind of shitty to me below 60FPS. Just my opinion.
I really don't agree with the ridding of double bind for crouch jump. Anyone could do it, and it actually made up for the lack of vaulting. They should have left it as is till they actually implemented the feature it was replicating. Pressing space bar and C at the exact same time while holding shift is a fucking ball ache.

Had my first in 270 hours "...I don't think that guy should have been able to see or shoot me at all" moment, and it was way worse than desync unless it was like 3 seconds worth of desync. Unless my ears suddenly broke and he was behind me when the shot sounds were coming from my left through multiple solid walls.
I checked their stats and they did not look like a hacker at all, though, unless they're a hacker and really bad or they got the see through buildings glitch.

I agree. I have no fucking clue why they did that. Now I gotta look into a macro or some shit because I can't pull it off reliably.
This is good news for me personally, because I consider macros (recoil / crouch / jump / whatever) basically cheating and thus don't use them. Because I don't use them, I'm also at a disadvantage over the people who do, so I'm hoping at least a few more people are forced to do the unreliable crouchjump now even if most people end up macroing it.
I wish they just fixed the mechanic completely, but maybe there's not an easy way to do it. It feels really bad to me that someone can phase through a completely solid glass window without breaking it.

Luckily it was easy to bind with my K70 RGB =)
Also got to use the AWM for the first time in 140 hours and it got me the win! Also cracked the top 100. Yaaaaay. I'm not trying to avoid people in these games. Just getting unlucky with finding vehicles so I spend a ton of time running to the next circle

1gb update but patch notes are like 8 bug fixes? Am I missing something?
You should play with me some time. I'll get that top 100 ranking fixed right up, or learn how to shoot guns. Either way I win.Luckily it was easy to bind with my K70 RGB =)

I think the patches are always huge. I assume it's something about how UE4 works / how they use UE4.
Yep, 1-hour maintenance. They need an ingame way to announce this ahead of time.
Thanks. 1 hour from now is 10:30 so I can still get a few rounds in before bed.

I primarily play solo because my kid sleeps directly above my computer room, and I only get video game time after she goes to sleep. So I need to keep my voice down, and when playing PUBG that can be difficult
