Futuresight posted:The real reason you should pass it up is because it doesn't protect your face and gives less capacity than leaving your afro uncovered. I thought it was funny. To talk about something else. Has anyone found the trick and likes the SKS? Is it just inherently inaccurate or do you have to shoot slowly or something other than aiming low which seems to help a bit... sometimes. I'm always a bit conflicted when I see one and I'm using an AKM/m16 as my long range. Picked one up recently and got a few good kills with it but I just don't know if it's worth it.

The SKS is the absolute worst gun in the game and the only way to make it work half as well as an AR is to manage to find a compensator for it, which in my experience is rarer than hen's teeth

I like the SKS, but I probably prefer the m16 for medium/long rage sniping. For me the one I can't seem to hit poo poo with is the kar, miss all sorts of shots that I feel like are for sure hits.

Having tracers in some ammo types would be cool I think. Watching two squads Duke it out would be cooler and you wouldn't have to rely on dirt puffs to adjust aim.

The SKS is not a great long-range sniper rifle, it has only slightly more damage than the AKM with a much higher recoil and less ammo capacity. That being said, it's decent at close range, and its iron sights aren't bad.

My best game yet: Playing 2man squads, landed on the roof of the school at the just behind another squad. For some inexpicible reason the guy who got there first didn't bother to pick up the uzi lying on the ground. So I picked it up and killed him and his partner. Besides us there were still another two squads wandering around the school. One of them knocked out the other, and then singlehandedly I used the Uzi I had to clean up. We worked out way to another group of buildings where we were ambushed and my partner was downed. After a camping standoff of about 3 to 4 minutes I got bored and decided to look around. Ended up murdering those dudes too. I was doing really well until I got too aggressive. I spotted a guy hiding next to a tree just inside the circle and I was going to sneak up on him, but a 3rd guy trying to make a break for the circle messed things up. I got the tree hugger, but the 3rd guy got me. Should have just waited until one of those two killed the other. I love this game.

Had an insane game the other day where I punched ten laggers and one actual player to death before ever picking up a gun and then saved the rest of my squad by slamming a UAZ into the three guys shooting at them. Game is good.

I have noticed this happens all the time when racing people to a contested area like school, power plant or primorsk warehouses. If you are the first person on the ground and trying to get through a building there is usually no drat loot and then you have to keep running to have a hope of finding anything. Meanwhile the dude who lands seconds behind you gets a treasure trove of untouched stuff.. because it literally spawned in behind you. Also last time I played I got one shot headshot by some guy with a double barrel shotgun while I was doing a long jump parachuting into an unnamed town on the east coast north of lipovka about 150 meters in the air with my buddy who was right beside me and didn't even hear the shot. When he landed there was no one in the town.

Is there any obvious fix (other than getting a new graphics card + processor) to fix the issue where buildings don't load for a while after dropping in? I usually have to stay still for 30 secs to a minute before anything happens. I'm running a 660 GTX and my view distance is on medium, if that helps.

I think that's more of a bug because I've got a 980ti and that's happened to me. Either way, the best thing you can do if you don't want to get a new piece of hardware is just wait for updates. Most of the tips and tricks for squeezing extra frames and/or stability out there are snake oil at worst or not worth doing at best. No set of launch commands or .ini modifications will do the work of optimization that developers have to do. ThePeavstenator fucked around with this message at 19:36 on May 16, 2017 |

I'm on a 660 / i5 as well and the game is running smoothly for me. I have all settings on the lowest it will go except for draw distance which I have maxed out. Are you running the game on an SSD?

You could try adding -sm4 to the launch options to force a lower shader version. That's what this tweak guide says anyway. I'm sure someone will chime in that it's fake news that I'd know about if only I read every single page of this thread.

My friend is getting that issue and has some luck with opening the inventory screen just as his chute deploys (sounds weird I know). Doesn't always work but sometimes it does. He is running a 970 same as me btw so I don't think it's a GPU thing in and of it self. Hulebr00670065006e fucked around with this message at 20:35 on May 16, 2017 |

This game has been really fun so far despite the early accessness. Got a question for you guys: I've won 6 or 7 at this point and it seems like the end circles close a little too fast. Is it just me or do others feel the same way? They close so fast theres a good deal of luck involved and that takes away from the decision making I was hoping for in those last 4 minutes or so. Lots of waiting to see where the next circle is, going oh crap, and running it in best you can. Right? And playing with goons has been great people arent the best skillwise but everyones been friendly and helpful and i encourage others to join the discord.

Yeah last night we were down to 3 vs 4 and the last circle forced us into the open while their whole squad was sitting pretty behind a berm. A little more time would be nice to take some of the luck out of it and give people a chance to maneuever more intelligently.

Not sure if anyone else gets this but every once in a while (once every 1-2 games) my fps absolutely tanks, down to 1-2 fps, for about 5 seconds then goes back to normal. It hasn't really boned me yet but I know there'll come a day when that happens in the final 2 or something. Anyone know why that's happening or how to fix?
