Clearly their proficiency at shooting is supernatural, not practical, in origin.
The problem with first person only is that as it stands, the first person in pubg is some janky poo poo where it just puts your camera in front of your player model's face, so everything is kinda floaty and laggy. It's worse than Arma's first person even. They need to change it before they make first person only an option.

Running from Georgopol into the safe zone, killed two guys on the way. Immediately get popped by an rear end in a top hat with a shotgun behind a tree. :xcom:

Solo win #4 and man does it feel good, I've been chasing it for 2 days. Got 2 3rd and a 2nd place yesterday and a 5th place a few games ago. Got it in the dumbest way too. Drove my dacia around in circles during the 2nd to last phase and managed to run a guy over then parked it on the edge of the circle. Then during the last phase I got in and drove around in circles to find where the last 2 guys were shooting me from, skidded behind a tree and popped them both with a silenced UMP.

So considering it's early access how bad is the lag and graphics optimizations. My computer basically plays B1 and Wildlands on Medium to High at a 45 to 60fps, but those were also finished games vs EA.

I dunno if I agree with the latter here but I think if you can run those games on medium you can probably run PUBG. Worst case you buy it on steam, check it out, and then refund if you're not satisfied with your performance.

The reason I am asking for a stand alone mic is because my laptop has 2 separate female connectors for headphones and microphone and I bought one of those 1 to 2 connectors and it seemed to make everything be worse, sound and mic.

I guess I will just buy a boomstick and hope it doesn't snap in my carry on bag

My suggestion has separate male mini stereo jacks for mic and headphones, and also USB which is what you're supposed to use.

i think for now the proc and RAM are more bottlenecks than your GPU. I run an i7 with 16 gigs and a 960 on an SSD and i reliably get 50-60 FPS at 1980*1050 with everything but shadows on High, and those on medium. There is a weird effect where it only seems to shade things in maybe a 50 meter radius around me but the frame rate is stable with dips during the chute drop

Managed to eke out a win by trapping some dudes on the second floor of a building in the zone. Think I killed some guy by smoking the building he was in so he got zoned out and died.

That's the guy I was talking about; but yeah, I definitely didn't notice that guy when we dropped and apparently he got zoned out to his death.

Boy, I'm not going to underestimate hiding in bushes again. I crawled up to one on a mountaintop and the only reason I realized someone was already inside it was because I couldn't enter it myself. They must have been scoped in because they didn't notice me until I shot them point-blank.

We are the Unity 3D community. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Finally won a solo game, after having 20% top-10 finishes across ~30 matches.

Got pretty lucky with the circle at the end, and had a few close-calls where I almost got shot out of my car twice (down to ~20% HP while driving both times), but managed to hold on.

I really do think the RNG for circle luck in very late game (last ~10 people) is ridiculous. Everyone camps behind hard cover that late, so who wins is mostly determined by who gets flushed out by the circle moving vs not. If you're forced to move from cover, you are almost certain to get shot in the open. If you get to sit behind a tree and pick people off who get forced out, you will almost surely win.

Hopefully they find a way to reduce the RNG late game, but otherwise this game is super fun still.

Hiding in bushes is the only way to I play this game. I really enjoy the game but I am really passive when it comes to combat. I just enjoy the few times I get to shotgun someone in the face.

Picked this up today, and I've been having a blast so far. Got into the final 3 on one round, but was outsniped in the end. Is anyone else getting a lot of screen tearing? I know, EA, but if I can fix it I'd like to.

Prone in grass/bushes basically makes you invisible at medium range, just don't try to pull it when scopes are around

If your fps exceeds your monitors refresh rate by enough you'll see tearing. By default the game has Vsync turned off in it's config file because (I assume) it's so unoptimized and would probably force most people down to 30fps or 15fps way too often with it enabled.

Better off to maybe try limiting your frame rate to a few frames below your monitor's max refresh rate.

I think it's still tearing, it's just that the frame gets redrawn so fast that you aren't noticing it.

If your refresh rate doesn't match your FPS, or it's not evenly divisible, then you get tearing.

Queue Aussie servers - immediately have to mute everyone because people are screaming slurs and calling each other cunts.

Queue Asian servers - immediately mute everyone because slurs and terrible Chinese music getting blasted over mic.

Queue Euro servers - there's a dude crawling on the ground singing 'I'm a snakey snake, come and join my snakey snake line'. 20 people join the snake line, laughing and chatting. :3:

I would do this, but then you sometimes miss out on some excellent salt when you kill someone by popping out from a bush and shotgunning them in the back. I will usually mute until I jump from the plane though.
