That's pretty much how Solo plays. But I take it as encouragement to try and slow down, make sure I check corners and stuff. You can be a bit more aggressive in Duo/Squads but in Solo I always try to be extra careful.
Of course there's nothing you can do about someone headshotting you with a Kar98 from a kilometer away, but whatever!

I will be happy with standardized foliage if only because it might mean a solution to the problem I have where 90% of the time I end up in second-to-last/last circle, it's in an area with no cover and I used a vehicle to get there, someone wings me as I drive around, and I realize that there is absolutely no safe spot to stop and heal. Even wedging myself between a tree and my car ends with me immediately being shot in the head from a mile away by one of the last players left.
note: the exception to this is the time where I was driving around on a mountaintop in a UAZ, I actually did find a probable spot, but my damaged car skidded into a tree at about 5mph and exploded in a fireball (which I didn't even know was a thing)

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but driving to the final circle with a car is a really, really bad idea.
Came 4th recently. Was a terrifyingly great experience. Got 2 kills but a lot of hits on people while making my way to the centre of the ever decreasing circles.
Ended up being in the worst spot possible, the remaining dudes on each side of me and nothing but fresh air around me. Managed to hit one but got gunned down by one of the other two.
Intense game tho

dude 5 gig patch? come on man
Check out twitch.tv/halifax if you haven't seen him. Great Canadian streamer with top tier solo and team play. He and Viss I believe still hold a 50%+ win rate on team servers which is incredible.
You're not always going to be in circle at that point though. Having to play the circle is a whole other game.
Thanks, interesting stuff. Hopefully we'll get data on rate of fire and accuracy stuff too.

There needs to be a volume slider for the plane alone. You need to yell over it when deciding where to go in the beginning.

It's coming to Xbox Preview in the not too distant future at least. They have it running internally already.

I've got 32gigs and it's still so so (ultra @1440p).

OMG WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Just a sidenote: Mike Ybarra (Xbox VP) tweeted out someone on Beam streaming it, and in the chat he asked the streamer if he was up for playing it this weekend with him and Spencer on stream. Not sure if it'll happen, but interesting either way.
Solo and Duo are best ways to learn drop locations, tactics, map etc.
imo
When in doubt look up Discord link from OP and join us at other side.
Surprised if they push console version out before they have been able to finalize PC version and optimize it. Especially when they have made point out of being small team which limits their capability to e.g. address netcode issues within UE4.
Xbox Preview is like Early Access, so I can see them using it to get it out early to help optimize the console version.
He also added a "#Windows" at the end, and he constantly tweets alerts to other PC games he's streaming on Beam. MS owns Beam afterall.
I wouldn't read into it.
It still would require them to divide their already allegedly thin resources and not sure I want to see that happening before PC version is content complete and optimized.
So shooting at limbs is better than shooting someone's chest if they have level 3 armor? That's.... weird.
If you are running any launch options remove those, some reported on Reddit that removing launch options improved performance.

Today I have a goal for PUBG. Actually kill someone finally.
If you already own H1Z1 then why not? It's a lots more arcedy than this.

Can't get my game to look right now. With the extra grass etc everything looks blurry. AA is set to low, ultra low makes every jaggy as hell. It's actually making the game impossible to play as I can't see anything that's not right in front of me.
Post processing?

Interested to see if the performance is improved at 4K. It's fine everywhere except the very beginning and the biggest towns.
Vector is world spawn along with UMP and UZI

I've been finding a strange amount of Vectors and crossbows in the wild.
huh, guess my group has been really unlucky then. I've been finding a few crossbows, though.
To preview? I must have read that wrong, then. :-(
Most rumors peg Xbox Preview being this Fall, but it all depends on when the game leaves Early Access on PC. They are very much still saying September and sticking by that so we'll see. It's not been done yet that I can remember, but they are very determined.
So, the frying pan stops bullets now 😂
Nope. Not using any launch options at the moment.
