Is there a way to cap the frame rate or make it smoother when playing in borderless fullscreen / window full screen?

PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

I need to restart my computer first to be sure, but thus far it looks like the newest nvidia drivers that's optimized for Battlegrounds made performance significantly WORSE in PUBG with a 2GB GTX 770.
It dips down to 20-22 fps when near the ground parachuting, less than 60 fps in cities etc. The worst part is that I didn't write down the previous version that's been solid for months. I have the replay turned off too. The only thing I can think of is that it might have changed some behind-the-scenes setting, but I have no idea what.

One big reason I suck is that I can barely hit anyone, and I have trouble finding people to shoot at.
Another big reason is that I really struggle to convert knockouts. I just played a duo match with 61 points of damage (4+ kills worth) yet didn't get a single kill. I got a kar98k headshot knockout, couldn't kill. Got a kar98k headshot on a level 2 helmet I think, didn't even knockout. Then I died from a single SKS shot.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Turn on V-Sync?
Also for anyone that has performance issues, try just letting Nvidia Geforce Experience optimize the game. It worked well for me.
I don't think I've ever had Geforce Experience do something positive for a computer. I'm afraid to think what it would do if I let it have free reign, but I guess I could try.

The micro uzi can work, much to my surprise... I've never gotten this many kills with it before.

I had one brief shining moment last night when I realized what players with good aim must feel like. Someone on top of a mountain sniped my duo partner. I looked out the door with a 4x kar98k, then zoomed and headshot in one smooth motion.
Of course, they fell down behind the mountaintop cover, were promptly revived by their partner, I got no kills the whole game, and the entire thing was pointless. BUT IT TEMPORARILY FELT GOOD DARNIT.

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
Aaaaand server is down for maintenance
Whats your general gameplan as far as dropping locations and midgame? I'm getting pretty frustrated trying to hold the circle edge in the middle/late phases of the game. 90% of the time I sit at the edge of the white, looking for movement constantly, see nothing, turn around, then a minute or two later someone comes behind and shoots me in the back.

The memory leak is brutal, I've run into the old "your PC is out of memory, please close TslGame.exe" error on multiple occasions now, the RAM usage just creeps up and up the longer you play.

I have a few places I like to drop to so long as they aren't the first place the plane flies over. I don't like the 20 person firefights early on because I have terrible luck getting a gun before everyone else. I like top go to Vasnaya if I can. Even when busy, you can get into a "magic house" and find something quick to defend yourself with.
I also like Shooting Range and Novorepnoye (east of military base). That's always fun. Good loot stashed in those big shipping crates. In general though, I prefer dropping with 2-3 people as opposed to 20.
I always try and get a car so I can get to the first circle without running (as that's boring). Another reason I like Vasnaya. Good number of vehicle spawns. Then I'll try and stay at the edge of the blue, moving inwards with it, then staying at the edge of the white until it moves again. Generally, people stick to the outer most edge possible so there's less chance of someone coming up behind them.
I do that for the rest of the game. Always running\driving along the outer edge looking for people (called "rotating") and never moving inward unless the next circle is a bit far. This way I only need to look in front of me and inward towards the circle, never behind me.
And that's pretty much it. Most kills I have for a win is 8 which is not a lot. My goal right now is to get at least 10. I don't really care about my rating, I just tend to play a safer game which leads to a lot of top 10s or wins but very few kills. I'll probably tank my rating because I'll probably start dropping military base more for the practice.
Thanks for the pointers. When working on my aim I was dropping school/military only, but the RNG lottery of that got old after awhile. When I found out FPP stats were being tracked I started to play too serious and overanalyze everything, so I think I need to go back to playing a looser style.

Just traded headshots with someone with Kar98s. I nailed his level 3 helmet... but he 1-shot my level 2 helmet and I died. FFS. Had a level 3 vest but could not get a helmet to save my fucking life.

Wanna possibly feel worse? Your shot may not have done any damage to him (depending on timing). The game erases damage of any of your bullets still in the air when you die, even if there is a blood spurt. This is to keep trading from happening.
IMO its bullshit but people apparently hate kill trading so whatever.
If you don't believe me I can prove this happens with video.

I believe you. But I tagged him first. He caught me before I could get the next shot off.
Does sound like a load of bullshit though.
Eh, any game with clientside hit detection needs something to prevent kill trading or all CQB is just a endless clusterfuck of killtrades especially with low tickrate or high pings. But the PUBG one seems a bit too aggressive.
Like in the worst case you could kill someone, watch his body drop and then die from his shots which would happen pretty frequently if players have 200'ish ping and the server tickrate is slow. Which would absolutely be worse for everyone.

This is a right laugh. Only managed about 5 kills so far but I'm addicted already. Glad I decided to see what the fuss is about.
How do tell when someone is on your side but not in your squad though? I friendly fired someone in squads and got killed because I hesitated to kill an enemy in case they were on my team.

there's no such thing? if they're not in your squad they're the enemy.

Thanks for resetting my control scheme, BH. That was super sweet last night when I hit my prone key during a firefight, but it was remapped to first person.

WTF. They pushed a patch and didn't fix the game defaulting to AS server? WTF are these dipshits doing? By all means though, REMOVE CROUGH JUMP INSTEAD OF FIXING BUGS.
At least let me CANCEL....

Yeah the patching priorities are really obnoxious. I'm gonna guess whomever developed the UI got shuffled onto another team after it was "working" because they haven't done anything with the main menu since it launched.

Weird. Must have been a squad mate then.
They didn't remove crouch jumping.
Also, as annoying as the AS server thing can be it's not exactly a very pressing issue.
If you're automatching with squadmates, then yeah it's was probably an intentional TK
automatching for squads will get you TKd every 1/3 games

I go Novo if I can every single game. I think it's better to just find 2 places you vibe with and get good at dropping there. Even if I have to go cross map.

I saw something about maintenance when it kicked me out of the game earlier. No idea what's going on. I don't think there's anything scheduled though.
imo the crouch jump binding is more important, just change it.
My keybind worked just fine after the patch though... so it ddoesnt seem like they fixed old binds just new ones?
Edit: Oh new patch today, guess that removes it then... thats annoying
Do you go to the crates or the houses around them?
So the NODE guys made a good PUBG Live-Action short movie, It's fun:

Try finding a spot on the blue, not the white. You can be sure no one is behind you this way. Since the zone moves in slower and slower as the game progresses to the point where you can outrun it by crouch sprinting in the final zone.
If I don't have good cover already (building, high ground), I'll run the blue edge like I said and start moving in when there about 15 seconds left, usually at an angle towards the part of the blue that was closest to the white (moves in slower since the blue touches white at the same time from its entire circumference).
I've actually been the fella that comes up behind people who were posted up inside the white many a time doing this.
That was great, I wouldn't mind full length live-action pubg movie if it's same style as this short movie.
Today I upgraded my ram from 8gb to 16gb. Now game feels smoother and buildings now load in time, worthy investment.

Not even a macro works for me anymore, which makes me think you just can't do it. I've tried manually as well. I just can't pull it off for some reason.
It's pretty frustrating, if you're not going to release vaulting why ban the almost same thing for no reason other than muhh skill floor?

Yeah same, die twice to this so I'm done for tonight.
Also I think I had some freeze when opening map/inventory.
I did it several times manually last night after the patch, so it definitely still works. Pretty sure it's close to frame-perfect, though
thanks melee
The funny thing is that people also experienced same bug on Test Server and then they reported about that bug on official test server forum.
Why didn't Bluehole then reschedule live version patch day, so they could fix the bug before it goes live?
I know is early access, but still, it doesn't make sense.
I had the weirdest keyboard bug, maybe it was this. Here's what I had happen:
I start match and get into the 'lobby'. I can control fine with WASD in lobby. Plane takes us away, and WASD is dead, and suddenly my arrow keys take over.
Quit match - go to settings - rebind keys - BUT - when I hit W, it shows Up Arrow, A but shows Left Arrow...so then I hit right arrow and it registers as D. But it would work in the lobby still, but not game.
Just reset my KB by pulling out its USB and then it was OK after a game restart.

For some reason It's very hard for me tot get it to work even when I press the keys at the same time. But it does work. It's just really tricky, and if you fuck it up you can leave yourself exposed. That's what bothers me about it. Having the keybind was a good holdover until we have proper vaulting. No fucking clue why they removed it UNTIL putting in vaulting.
This guy was not aggressive enough. He should have had me easy (he had a Mini14). But that's why I always stay near cover near the end-game (if I can).

922mb update? i havent been on steam in forever so idk if its an old one
I think updates are huge, presumably because of something about UE4 or how PUBG uses UE4, even for relatively small bugfixes.
Weekly update 26 was the 922 MB update.
