My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

You can probably run it. Might not be super pretty, but it should run. I have a 680 and 16gb of RAM which the game does not utilize. None the less I can play with most of the settings at their highest values and still pull 50ish frames. A 650 should be able to run the game, but you will probably have to turn some poo poo down.

I get poo poo FPS on a 7700k, 970gtx, 16gb, intel SSD 750, at all settings.

Steam->PubG ->Rightclick-Properties->General->Set Launch Options...

code:
-maxMem=7168 -malloc=system -USEALLAVAILABLECORES
That maxMem is for 8 GB of ram, you may need to edit as needed. I got a sizeable performance boost on a very similar system

I gathered that, but I meant "How?" does it perform worse. What would I need to put for me having 16GB RAM? Why did you put 7168 (do you have 8GB)?

I was under the impression that they fixed it so that the launch options make the game run worse after the last patch ?

Biggest changes I got were turning everything to low besides AA which is high/ultra and spending time in the nvidia control panel fiddling with this game specifically

I just got a 7700k to accompany my year old 1080 and now get pretty good FPS (60+) at 1440p on Ultra everything. Or did, because as of yesterday the game engine runs fine while the server lag cripples my game. everyone is a loving terrence and phillip cartoon.

If the fixes were specific in-game options then yeah they'll work, but you can't make the game malloc more efficiently or not drop packets with launch options.

Probably a really dumb question but I keep seeing different answers (and not sure how there can be different answers). But if I'm in the lobby and wanting to receive an invite from a friend to a party, should the bottom left display "receive invite" in yellow, or "block invite" in gray?

I've posted a few times and a someone else just did, but I raised antialiasing from low to ultra, which seems to have successfully moved work off of my ancient cpu, bringing my framerate from 20ish to 40ish. I can play the game now. It's probably unique to folks in a similar position to me - old cpu with newer gpu.

This AA trick also helped in my case (Xeon 5570 + R9 380).

Well, of those, -USEALLAVAILABLECORES is the only one that theoretically does anything at all, as the other two were command line switches for ArmA-engine games.

Doesn't the game use all of the available cores anyway? What does this switch do, specifically?

Who knows but people swear by using either this or the Nvidia control panel method, so it might be doing something.

what.
As usual Epic's documentation is horrible/hard to find:

quote:

USEALLAVAILABLECORES: Force the use of all available cores on the target platform.

edit:
From the engine source code, it looks like it's used in archiving objects: https://github.com/EpicGames/Unreal...e.cpp#L606-L610
and shader compiling: https://github.com/EpicGames/Unreal...cpp#L1386-L1389

No amount of gunfire or grenades drew anyone near, nor did any attempt at shooting SOS in morse code. I even saw a loving crate land within sight of my prison without walls but I was stuck in there until the zone killed me.

There's a similar spot near the power station warehouse (to the SW) amongst the pipes. I banged on the pipes with a crowbar for a while to try and attract trouble, but the Zone ended up getting me, too.

I got an m249 after already getting about 170 rounds before the crate. If it does one thing very well it is blowing up cars. Most people dont keep a close eye on the vehicle health bar and by the time they see fire its too late for them

Fun FPP strat: immediately find an M16 and 8x, then have a crate drop just outside your building and ambush people then get an M24 and another 8x. Shoot all the heads you see!

Then finish third when the zone sends you uphill against another sniper who's been wrecking people all game as well.

When you bravely loot a crate in the red zone to discover a loving KAR and not even a scope. And then you die. God drat.

Also they should program in a 1/1000 chance that a red zone becomes a tactical nuclear strike. Topical!

I usually go with "knocked"/"killed"/"insta'd".

Sometimes also adding "more around" or "last in squad" to be super clear. Doesn't hurt in most situations.
