Is voice chat not working correctly ? Steamcan detect my mic, and can hear my sound. But no sound in game from my team or anyone..

ALready set the voice chat setting also in the menu.

With extended mag 25 rounds. Extremely high RPM. Sad that they neutered mag size instead of taking authentic route.

They can't be serious with the stock 13 round magazine... so basically don't even try to use auto fire mode until you find an extended mag.

Patch day needs to get here already.

lol that's going to kill performance on my PC. Needed to be done for fairness but I'm hoping I'll still be able to play this game.

Don't forget they did quite a lot of optimizing this patch also, so it may balance out for you.

Dude.... Yesssss

Well... The trees though... You can hide behind a tree and now bee seen through it in the distance.

Not sure that's a good compromise.

I don't know if I like that... maybe they made it so you still can't be seen behind the tree even though it's not visible for low foliage players? Who am I kidding lol

Memory leak might be fixed now?
Every time I close the game, my pc starts to slow down and refuses to open new programs. Forcing me to restart PC.

I played a round in test server, game didn't stutter badly anymore and my PC worked fine when I closed the game. So far so good.
I think I got 20+ fps boost in test server version.

Just bought this game. First game died immediately after trying to punch someone and he picked up a gun and shot me. Second game I made it to top 30 just by staying on the edge and avoiding everyone. Eventually got shot dead by someone at a distance. Never saw anyone that match. About to go in for my 3rd match but I already can see how this game's enjoyable.

The tension in just about all scenarios is very captivating. While I get frustrated at times due to being killed by someone with no clue to where it happened, it just instills in me the need to be more tactful. It's very enjoyable even when you constantly fail. Welcome to your new addiction.

Really looking forward to killcams. There have definitely been times I had no clue where I was getting shot from (hello suppressors).

Played a game where my squad was getting shot at from the school in one of the towns and we couldn't get any eyes on the shooter. We only knew the rough area where the shots were coming from. Bullets were flying past our heads occasionally, people got hit, it was intense. Really hard to find people shooting at you sometimes. Which is actually quite realistic, in a way. Watched combat footage and they just send rounds down towards the rough location of shots.

Yeah definitely. I really gotta get better at checking all surroundings. I would love a forced first person mode in this. I like the third person but I'm never as good as other people in using it to my advantage.

I agree that failing doesn't really make mad and just makes me want to do better next time, that's a great trait for a game to have. On that note I even like to play on all ultra settings, was told to lower settings but I don't think I will. On my GTX 1080 it's pretty regularly over 70-100 fps and sometimes drops to like 45-50 @ 1080p. I'm all about immersion and the game actually looks very nice at times. Hopefully the patch you guys are talking about really improves performance.

Aww man shit! Made it to top 2. Other guy made a mad dash to tree ahead of me and I tagged him with a lot of bullets but apparently not enough. Rushed him and switched to shotgun got the first shot off and apparently it missed then his shotgun shot killed me. Damn felt a little ripped off there at the end but that was a great rush nevertheless.

I'm the worst fucking player in this whole game XD

I've played at least twice as many matches as I have kills. God I wish this wasn't the case though since it's fun, I just suck at spotting people.

Somehow managed to make second place earlier though and would have had first had the dirty cheat not been literally hiding inside a bush with a ghillie suit.

When you connect and get in an actual Superman punch and take down another player, it makes all the misses worth it.

I got a Superman punch once and having to go back to punching someone in the head 20 times only for them to teleport away and then slowly shoot me as I am punching them is too painful.

Damn spent like 2 minutes driving a boat around to other side of circle while force field was damaging me, finally get back in and land on beach. Jump out and the boat runs me over and kills me. All that and never saw an enemy just to die like that. What a failure XD

Just downloaded the Test Server to try out the performance changes and I'm happy to say the game runs much better on my PC now. I have it running maxed out and it isn't force-closing anymore, although I cannot determine my FPS since the GeForce FPS display isn't showing up. This game is quite the looker when you have everything turned up. There's no way I can go back to the unpatched sever having seen how pretty it is.

Gun damage test on 2.2.14 (test server) video.
SPREADSHEET.

TL;DW (keep in mind this is all unarmored chest shots unless otherwise specificed):

PISTOLS:
  • M9: 29%
  • P1911: 35%
  • R1895: 46%

SMGs:
  • UZI: 23%
  • UMP: 33%
  • Vector: 36%
  • Tommy Gun: 38%

RIFLES:
  • SCAR-L: 41%
  • M416: 41%
  • M16A4: 41%
  • M245: 44%
  • AKM: 46%

SNIPERS:
  • SKS: 55%
  • Kar98: 72%
  • M24: 84%
  • Crossbow: 105%
  • AWM: 131%

SHOTGUN:
  • Hard to get accurate measure because damage is per pellet, but point is demonstrated by the fact that all three shotguns will one-shot you through a level 3 vest if all pellets hit. Saiga opop at close range.

NOTES:
  • Headshots deal 250% damage.
  • Limbshots deal 50% damage.
  • Limbshots don't reduce armor durability.
  • Level 1 armor/helm reduces incoming damage by 30%
  • Level 2 armor/helm reduces incoming damage by 40%
  • Level 3 armor/helm reduces incoming damage by 55%
  • Damage reduction is independent of armor/helm durability remaining.

You can turn on the FPS counter in the Steam client to get that. I assume it's correct, never looked into it.

So for someone who has never delved into the battle royale genre, but also someone who likes multiplayer PvP, tactical shooters and rpg elements, am I pretty much guaranteed to enjoy this? It looks pretty good but it's really hard for me to judge without playing.

It's a good one of those, but obviously you should go in with a degree of patience since it's Early Access.

Easy to get a refund on steam, but i'm sure once the adrenaline kicks in after a couple of matches you won't wanna do that.

The only way I honestly could see you not enjoying it is if you're just not willing to accept some jank. If you've played Arma or something similar and been able to enjoy yourself, I bet you'll love this.

I was super skeptical.

Lol. Tried a test server game, got into an early fight, and discovered my shotgun didn't actually ever load. My character was just feeding infinite phantom shells into it while the ammo counter stayed at 0. Woops. :x

Heh I really want to try this game after watching streams but I guarantee 99% of my playtime will be spent trying to gear up then getting killed from out of nowhere repeatedly :x
