I understand not putting kill cams in squads or duos (at least until your team is dead) but more information is always good to help when you're learning and sometimes your opponents make a good play and seeing it from their perspective is neat.

Anybody know if it is possible to assign crouch to two different buttons where one is toggle and the other is hold?

Haha, you were having so much fun running around punching them.

Anyone have any ideas on things I can look at for my lag issue? Within 5 minutes of dropping I'll get a 10 second lag spike that often happens at the worst possible time right as I'm engaging someone or there's an enemy nearby. I have google fiber so I doubt it's the connection itself?

Maybe decrease your view distance to low or medium? It sounds like your computer is struggling to load the textures for the distant objects. This is just a guess though.

I mean hopefully once replays are a thing we can put all this to bed, but it's not like you need them to figure out that (for example) trees are not always the safest hiding spots.

I wish there were at least SOME after-action reports at the end of the game. I love seeing data like that, like "here's the trail you took to the end of the game, where your kills were, the ranges, what damage you took/dealt, distance traveled by foot/vehicle that round (your numbers, average all players, highest/lowest), which weapons scored the most kills that round..."

If I had my way you'd have 10 pages of data you could leaf through at your leisure, but I wish there was at least something.

I can see it now, instead of the current, lovely death screen, they could just ape battlefield 1 by continuing to pull the POV up after you bite it to quickly reveal an overhead of the island and as your stats start appearing, you see your path from beginning to end form in Indiana Jones / Carmen San Diego dotted line. You could toggle it showing other player's routes, to see first of all the engagements you had but also the times you walked within like 5 feet of someone but didn't notice.

I don't any of that will happen, though.

I don't imagine it's this but I'll give it a shot. I'm running on a stock clock i5-4690k, GTX 1080, and 16GB of RAM. It freezes at first and then pops up with the network lag screen for the last second or two. I'd never had the issue until the latest update.

You should still be able to chat while dead, and a decent player will know where they were shot from, so they can at least call that out. And watching your dead body instead of spectating can give you the chance to call out when they loot your crate. lovely broke vengeance from beyond the grave, but it's no more broken than shooting people underwater v:v:v

I very much doubt it's the view distance.

I googled a bit and came across this video which seems to display the symptoms you are describing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bebcp2jBZuM. I guess try to check your power settings? In addition to what he does in the video maybe also change power management mode option to "prefer maximum performance" in the nvidia control panel.

Was able to get this done but it's leading me down some loving rabbit holes where I can't open settings from the start menu and also the fix path that I found for that by adding another administrator account doesn't work because I can't add new users :psyduck: .

I believe one of the dev posts said solo kill-cam was approved but a ways down the priority list. I think it would be cool, but as has been said I think it would mostly boil down to "oh, I guess I didn't have good cover". Dead people should be able to draw on the map and stuff and be like Rainbow-6 planning stage. I think that would be cool.

It doesn't see the second GPU. I had an extra 970 from an upgrade to a 1070 on another box so I went ahead and did SLI.

I had back to back games network lag out yesterday in the morning and a few later in the afternoon. It didn't feel like a thing until the FPP patch. I've also noticed since FPP launched that the camera likes to occasionally zoom right into a rock while I'm crouched or in cover behind one. It's pretty annoying.

On a happier note, I got my first chicken dinner last night after over 50 loving hours and a number of top 5 finishes. A great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Yeah, the other day I lucked into supremely nice position in a circle and got a one hit kill with a Kar98 on some guy in the top ten. That's punching well above my pay grade and I want the dude to see that he wasn't taken out by some crafty sniper a mile away, but by a Lucky duck who stumbled down the hill after him chasing blue circles.

Tried out FPP for the first time. Tried a duo and the guy dropped before we jumped from the plane so it was a great start. Hit the prison and actually managed to clear it by myself getting 4 kills. Drove around in a buggy for a bit which is crazy disorienting when you flip it. Grabbed another and drove around a bit until I flew off a cliff. Thought I had landed sideways so went to get out and was still in the air so died from falling damage. Good times!

If you run into problems with games/audio run this, it will actually advise you when it's a power/whatever issue and tell you to update your bios or tweak things. This actually fixed this game for me, even though I had no problems until I started playing this game and then even Windows went to loving poo poo.

I really wish they would add in an indicator of where the first circle is going to be when you're on the plane still. This game is kind of starting to get stale because my only options seem to be either dropping in Pochinki/School or rolling the dice on whether or not I'm going to spend the rest of the game running to catch up to the circle while never having anything but a shotgun and a level one vest. Sometimes if I'm too far from the circle and I can't find a car fast enough to stop this from happening I'll just quit the game right then because it's not fun to be holding Shift+W for 15 minutes straight, stopping only to heal my rapidly deteriorating health.

You can turn on auto run by using the +/= key I believe. So you don't need to hold anything to run.

That first circle is pretty drat big. Can't imagine running for that long, especially without finding transportation along the way somewhere.
