This is a very enjoyable game to be bad at. Got to the low teens left, I open up on a guy with a M16, almost kill him and then touch off WW3 as I die. Game goes from 14 left to 7 really fast.

I hope random modes show up, something like "only SMGs/pistols/bolt action rifles without scopes" every now and then.

Well that's less than ideal
Got second in solo! Out thought myself against the final guy, I was pretty sure he was holed up in a fuckboy shack, but then I got to think that maybe he had flanked out while I engaged another guy. He hadn't :( Still though, being there until the end is incredibly tense, and incredibly fun. For all its flaws, this game is a blast.

Decided to pick up the game. First match: parachuted so far off I would die 5 times over before getting into the game zone. Second match: found nothing but gun attachments and shirts and got unceremoniously picked off. Third match: 6 kills Chicken Dinner :woop:

Love how only the first guy is carrying a shotgun (which really shines this close) while everybody else just sinks all their bullets into the railing.

Only reason I didn't have my shotgun out at the time was due to having spotted targets outside coming in, I was trying to get into position to shoot them. Turns out there were 2 groups attacking at once (though we thought it was 3).
I was the only survivor after the fight and running away from blue.

This game is fun solo, but I don't think I have the steady hand required to win. I always end up with my hand shaking when aiming even up close, so that I miss half my shots.

The other day I hit a guy coming up the stairs from behind, and he turns around before I get my second shot off and just destroys me with a machine gun. That sort of crap is disheartening. Most of my positive outcomes are a result of sneaking around and mid to long distance engagements. Close up I almost always die, not sure how to remedy that.

I'm going to channel my inner mcvey from the CS thread and tell you to "lower your drat sensitivity!" (it seriously might help).
Also you will get over the getting nervous thing in time. I remember tensing up every time i met an opponent in CS, and always fully committing to a fight even though I didn't get the best engagement, and loving up because of it. Getting over that was one of the things that helped me the most in CS. Of course this game doesn't have many similarities to CS but I feel in this instance it does a little.

I heard last night that having all your graphics settings on the lowest besides view distance actually isn't ideal since it forces certain things to be rendered on the CPU rather than the GPU. Does anyone know what the best settings for performance are?

My system runs best when I crank up anti aliasing to high and everything else to very low and screen scale to 100. Sometimes it seems post processing up to high also helps. I hosed with my nvidia settings for the game specifically as well and got my fps to 60-80 in menus, then it drops to 40-50 pregame lobby and finally down to 30 in game.

How the hell do you get less in game than in the lobby?

Some people say that upping textures will also move some of the load to the GPU. I heard it was like distance + texture high if your GPU is way better than your CPU. It'll probably be different setup to setup anyways so just play around with it.

This is standard in every game and depends on your own system. When turn down some settings, like textures, your CPU has to compress them before it sends them to your GPU. If your GPU can handle the full res textures, you are just making the CPU do extra work. This all depends on where your bottleneck is though, its not a magic fix that will work for everyone.

No idea and I've spent so many hours messing with different combinations of settings to try and get a stable, decent framerate in game. I believe there was a setting to force the load to the gpu in my nvidia control panel. I see streamer's games look like butter and just assume they have a top of the line brand new system. I'm running a gtx 745 and i7 3770. The beginning of the plane ride is up to 18 fps instead of 12!!!!

I feel like looking at a stream makes it look deceptively smooth. Often I get higher frames than what many of the streams I watch that look smooth af but it can still feel a little funky in game when I play. I get about double the frames "in the wild" compared to at the island on average though.

God drat it you have triggered my desire to nerd. Bolded is nonsense spread by people who don't understand 3d graphics programming fyi

I mean there's some grain of truth to it, in that it's possible your CPU does some work on texture data before uploading to GPU. But: this happens once, when the texture is loaded from disk, not every time a frame is drawn, and you expect less work if the texture setting is lower, not more.

The reason you expect less is that when you run a higher texture resolution a shitload of lower res versions of the same texture are uploaded to the GPU too. This is because when a texture's pixels are much smaller than screen pixels thanks to view distance, it's better to sample from a lower resolution version of the same texture that's already been filtered to look right at that distance. Google "mipmap" for more.

So, whenever a texture gets sent to the gpu, it's really several copies of the same image at different resolutions. If the highest setting is 8, when you move the slider from 8 to 7 you are telling the game "hey I don't care about looking at poo poo up close and seeing super detail so don't give the gpu copy #8", but copies 1-7 still get sent. The benefit to performance here is indirect - leaving out the highest res mipmap levels uses less GPU memory.

So in sum you don't really expect any increased cpu load at all. If the game stores precomputed mipmap levels on disk, all it has to do is leave out the higher res copies when uploading. If it's generating them on the fly, it has one (or more) less copies to generate when you turn textures down.

TLDR: please don't invent and/or spread urban legends about why an early access game has weird performance quirks, just roll with them

pubg streamers tier list and thoughts

rank S:
dr disrespect - fastest, most violent streamer, 6'8 freak of nature covered head to tippy toe in vaseline going 95mph down the waterslide to knock out olympic style swimming pools filled with punk kids. back to back 1993, 1994 blockbuster video game world champion. always winning. always lookin so dam good.

rank A:
pokimane - cute; spends a lot of time on her eyebrows (dislike: she has a boyfriend [why do all the good girls date jerks??? fuckin chad])
summit - big head; good at games not super interesting personality wise but usually wins games
all korean streamer girls - all comically rage at some point; i dont understand what they say so i can make up a narrative of how much they love me and want me to play the games with me. i personally enjoy the way asian women look and are traditionally portrayed as submissive so that is a big plUS

rank B:
imaqtpie - lazy lookin dude living the dream i am not jealous of him at all and he probably smells bad. fun fact he started boosted meme

rank F:
