You should be able to run it fine then, just be prepared to crank everything down. The 2 hour grace period for refunds is enough for like 4 or 5 games to see how it runs, too.

Does anyone know what kind of antialiasing system they use in this game? I hate how jaggy it looks when I don't have it on, but whatever AA solution they have looks absolutely awful, like everything is smeared with vaseline. It's so bad that I actually would rather have the jaggies.

Yeah the AA is awful and makes everything seems blurry. You can possibly force your GPU to do AA through your 3D application settings though I haven't tried.

Im playing this game pretty far below min spec (i3-2100, 8gb generic ram, radeon HD7850) but I do have it on an SSD which helps. Im playing at 900p with settings at low to med and the frame rate is mostly holding up. Spinning the camera aroung super fast out in the open air can make it chug, but for the most part it looks to hold around 30fps.

I have to leave my cans off until I land though, because Matchmaking Island makes the nastiest cacophony, like it is struggling to produce all of the sounds going off and cones out chopped and screwed, and once we are on the plane Ive heard the same United Air joke a dozen times with 3 hours of playtime.

No better feeling so far than guessing right on a building entry and getting the jump on a house camper just waiting on someone to walk in. Surprise motherfucker, buckshot goes through the door!

Hope it wasn't while equipped with a silenced M16 and silenced KAR when you had perfect cover in the circle the 2 ppl left had to come to you to get in but then you mis-stepped when too anxious to remain unseen and fell down to splat in the water for 3rd place. Ask me how I know!

Got my first chicken dinner through judicious use of the UMP. I think it outclasses any of the ARs at close range (sub 25 meters) now. (also I'd like if you could jump out windows for a change)

For first week or so I was really cautious about drop zones. If I saw someone dropping near me I'd quickly turn and go somewhere else.

Lately I've just been saying gently caress it and dropping wherever I want and wow are most people super timid in solo. It seems like nine times out of ten if you charge someone as soon as you land they'll panic and try to find a gun while you try to superman punch their head.

just got my second win which ended with two of us 10 feet away from each other completely in the open, on the decline of two hills, waiting for the circle to spawn. it spawned on me and he bled out and i didnt even get to see him. its like we both just accepted that the game was going to randomly choose a winner

i wish there was a way they could enforce a timer like the circle without making 9/10 games complete poo poo around the 15 person mark. once you get down to 6 its really fun again but from about 15-6 its horrible

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?
I love that I can actually prone-crawl across a field now when no other options are available and not immediately get hosed for it.

Now I just need to remember to use single fire rather than burst on the M16 because holy poo poo I totally loving suck at aiming/ammo conservation.

While riding in a motorcycle on duo's. The driver hits a bump ,we somehow get flung infront of the motorcycle. It runs us over and we die.

Next game 3 of us jump off bridge while slightly injured. 2 team mates instantly die.

If the motorcycle inverts even the tiniest bit, you will get ejected. You still suffer speed penalties on leaving a vehicle from this. Combine with the weird random divots in a few places around the map and it goes swell.

Looks pretty cool, I'd like them to add some different times of day too. Full night would probably be a pain in the rear end (but would make flash hiders actually useful) but a misty/rainy dusk would be really atmospheric and cool.

So long as the full night has a bright moon and not the typical "Our eyes cannot adjust to night at all and everything is black also light does not spread" I wouldn't mind.

Night time would be amazing but I feel like, balance issues aside, something about it wouldn't work great with the shrinking circle stuff. It strikes me as something slower paced.

Dusk would be rad, though. Other weather could be cool too. Maybe a heavy snow?

I was fighting a guy in the second floor of one those squat little hexagonal buildings. He had the door closed and was firing out a window. I had the crazy idea to shoot a hole in the door and chuck a grenade in and it WORKED. It loving WORKED!

Flash hiders are absolutely useful. Obviously a silencer is going to be better, but the first thing I do when I'm trying to find the source of gunshots is look for the muzzle flash. Especially useful when you've got someone shooting from a window.

This is a bug. You'll notice that you're not actually taking any damage. Then you were unlucky. The guy had crested the corner before you and shot you in the face.

Oh interesting, I didn't realize it was vehicle related but yeah this happened a few minutes after I hit the tree in the previous video. Now that I'm thinking of it vehicles were features before I saw it in other games before.

In-depth writeup of the M16:

The M16: The leader of the bunch, you might know this weaoon well as its been in countless games, though its back in PUBG to kick some tail! A big reason its so good is it fires in spurts, if it shoots at you, it's gonna hurt! The M16 is truly biggger, faster and stronger too. It's the number one gun to go for in my crew.
