PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale
- Thread starter SamuraiX-
- Start date
I finally got to play in a squad last night after only soloing before that. Squads is so much more less stressful! You get people to talk to, you don't die instantly, and if you have teammates left after you die you don't have to deal with the crushing unknown of never knowing what happened in the game after your death.
Well they were off one week so I was not expecting a lot for this patch.
Nice!
The only difference between you and me, is that you have really good aim, and I'd be better off throwing my gun at people!

Those headshots have turned Salty into a different person.

#2 finish in solo, dang... so close. I'm kicking myself because I had the drop on my final opponent, but I blinked first as I was pushed by the blue circle... met my end in the middle of a wheat field. Going hungry tonight

Huh? Most of them turn the shadows off and other stuff to give them an advantage. Dr Disrespect's game looks like shit lol.

How much RAM do you have? I was having a lot of performance issues with the game and constant crash to desktop, or hard crashes even when I set everything to very low settings. I upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 16GB and now I'm playing it maxed out with no issues. I monitor my RAM usage and see that the game is using 45%-50% of my RAM so I am thinking it was crashing due to RAM issues.
FWIW I have an I5-4590, 1080, and now 16GB RAM.

The looks a lot like an H1Z1 clone to me.
They are both battle royale games, that's where their similarities end. They play nothing alike other than collecting loot.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
thats a lot of me being bait
its a helluva talent
and h1z1 looks a lot like a clone of playerunknowns battle royale
Lmfao no lies tho, Salty is savage af with a Kar98 or SKS in his hands.
We got a bunch of Mark Wahlbergs up in GAF Discord.
let's not get crazy here.

Too kind. It's just that with a scope I can actually spot people on my shitty monitor. Still have long way to go before I can call myself anything other than a massive potato.
Killing that driver with a scopeless SKS was good though, not gonna be modest about that one.

I'm having a lot of fun with this game but there really, really needs to be some sort of tutorial or SP firing range map before this leaves Early Access.
I've gotten top 10 multiple times but I don't think I've ever won a gunfight that wasn't me killing someone before they even noticed me - the battles are too lethal and over too fast for me to feel like I am really accumulating any combat expertise.
That was one of the few things The Culling did very well, actually.

I'll call them competent if they implement mantling successfully before pushing it out to consoles, new maps etc

I just had a round that was so laggy (despite no visible latency) that
A) me and another guy ended up at point blank range with shotguns and we both fired off nearly 10 shots each before we actually hit each other
B) a guy ran around the corner without seeing me, and then as I unloaded half an UMP mag into him, he suddenly spun and killed me through my Level 3 helmet and Level 2 vest with what my client showed as a single SCAR shot

Strange to see so many complaining of lag. The only time my game lags is when I am jumping out of the plane and it freezes for a brief few seconds while i'm in flight. After that, the game is really smooth.
I turn everything on low except for Ultra textures - & Ultra distance.
Running i7 6700K w/ gtx 1080
I do have occasional game crashes, but these appear to be completely random

This game is better and might actually make it out of Alpha one day.

B is likely a cheater. I was killed by the 9mm pistol while running through the woods. I had a level 2 helmet and never heard a shot. Just 3 plums of blood coming from my head and dead.
PlayerUnknown's Cheatergrounds
. I see a cheater at least once every five games. Anyways, i made solo rank 209 today before a stretch of shit games dropped me to 430. Maybe i can get a couple wins this week and break the top 100!
Btw, if you have ever noticed why it gets really laggy around someone else, that is likely due to the cheat the next patch is supposed to fix (latency cheat or something). So hopefully that will clean things up a bit.

Fuck! Don't play for a while and then go 0-5 in K/D tonight.
Apart from my drops into melee-villes, I still did 'fine' in terms of rank, but pretty unsatisfying overall.

I had a recent game with a friend where something a little suspicious happened. I'm playing squad with 2 others, and we engaged another squad. The enemy squad is downed pretty fast, save for the last guy who then gets hit twice (blood puffs visible) by my friends Kar98, observed by both of us and I hit him a few times with the SCAR as well. He never goes down, nor does he stop to heal. We all end up dead in the wake of this guys invincibility. Whats going on? Is it desync (for so many shots?) or some kind of cheat?

Got a performance question.
I'm seeing all these streams and such with people playing on Ultra across the board and getting 60+ FPS
With this set up, I'm struggling to get over 50fps or so with a mix of low and medium at 1920 x 1080

I'm not sure if something is wrong, or if that's the expected performance for my system?

Awesome stuff as usual. I'm not nearly as good at shooting as you...How do you learn how to lead shots? I have a hard time knowing when I should. Seems like you mostly just land pin point accurate headshots on the mark without leading much--at least in that video.
I barely kill anyone in that video that is actually moving around a lot so there's no leading involved. With bolt-action snipers I just guess where to shoot and hope Jesus grants me a hit. With semi-auto weapon it's easier to adjust after misses, though.

Get myself into the top 10, biking my way through gunfire to a nice quiet spot at the edge of the circle, and...
Dismount bike while moving.
I really need to unlearn that muscle memory.

Last night on eu , lag made the game unplayable, I've not had any problem until now. Warping around all over the place.
Just to many players and too little servers/ rubbish hosting, or it's it the same for all regions?

On the fence about buying the game.
I feel like I'd have fun but I'm just not sure about how long I'd stick around

I said the exact same and I also was thinking why the hell does this game is more popular than the former h1z1?
Rightfully so after I tried it myself.
I personally like the shooting more, you cannot get out of the car while the car is moving without suffering high damage, which renders cars mostly useless at late game, and also you cannot carry 2 vest armors or 2 helmets, which also means the game is more simple cause you don't need to keep replacing helmets or armors when they break in the middle of a fight, and that is crucial, you actual focus on the shooting and not managing your inventory.
Not to mention the other stuffs like spectactor mode etc.
Great game.

pretty sure it's desync, happens quite a few times for me too.
You can get yourself hooked if you try that 2h while you can still refund if you dont like it at all or if it doesnt work.
Solo is fine but that might get boring in long run.
Duo and squad I dont know can it ever get boring, there is so many things that can happen in games that they are never the same. Of course if you dont die at very start, then it might be same and boring.
Lately if I get the jump on someone I still lose. Either I try to tap them down and they kill me first or I spray and don't finish the frag. Bleh.
