Gonna need some aviators to finish off the Sonny Crocket look, so close. Also won a duo game where my teammate disconnected a minute into the game, had to drive from Severny to military island for the first zone. Crashed my car, ran over the bridge, spent three circles up on the hill by the observatory randomly shooting at anyone I saw without anyone coming up to find me. Then following the circle south down the hill to the win. I guess given it was my first duo game in the US since the stat reset (my buddy is in NZ, I'm UK, we meet in the middle) that we got put in with the morons. It was very entertaining.

Is there a link to some recommended graphics settings or tweaks? I'm thinking there's no reason to run this on the highest settings because it doesn't look that great even then.

mechaet posted:I'll admit, the reason for the standalone DAC sounds a lot like audiophile bullshit, until you consider that I'm nearly legally deaf- and therefore incapable of giving any sort of fidelity-based argument in favor of a DAC. A headphone interface with a knob might be worth it if only for the convenience of the knob. My rule of thumb with audio poo poo in general is: if it takes an a/b comparison for you to tell the difference it's probably not worth money. Better headphones will improve your spatial perception simply due to flatter frequency response across the spectrum and probably by generating significantly more bass frequencies, spatial audio relies on tricking your brain into thinking audio sources come from various directions and distances and it helps when your brain is easily fooled into thinking that the sound sources are real, the headphones themselves are the most critical component in the gamer audio chain, virtualizers, DACs and fancy interfaces are really not going to do much. Virtualizers will actually degrade spatial audio performance by applying dual spatial processing (the game generates signals that are supposed to be played back in close proximity to your ears, the virtualizer will take those 'binaural' signal and play that back over a virtual set of speakers positioned in front of you as they would be in a surround playback setup).

There was a thread on reddit for "high FPS competitive settings", but it is several months old so I don't know how well it holds up. (For example, I don't believe the "-USEALLAVAILABLECORES" flag is required anymore.) Plus it recommends turning the shadows and foliage completely down which I personally feel makes the game look like complete dogshit.

Not turning down foliage is going to hurt you a lot I think - it's the difference between a sneaky snake and a guy who moves really slow.

That's disappointing, I thought I read the goal was that they'd make it so disabling foliage didn't grant a competitive advantage. Probably just not there, yet, with the engine.

I suppose this is not something I've tested personally so I should tag it as hearsay but yeah, my understanding is that foliage is only drawn to a certain distance. Maybe the setting does preserve that, I guess I truly don't know.

One thing I did notice with the foliage turned up was that I could see a lot more trees dropping from the airplane, so increasing draw distance is probably one of the biggest effects from that setting. I thought maybe the grass was a little denser as well but it looked about the same when I turned it back down.

Anyone else prefer playing on the duos and squad servers even when solo? I dunno what it is about it but I prefer the player movements and tactics to that than solo servers. Along with heightened awareness that I'll die quicker than other people. And other people are slightly harder to kill.

What kind of monitor do you have? I'm doing something wrong. It really feels like the picuture isn't smooth enough. I have a 144hz monitor but somehow I did something to it and now I only get 120/121hz with it. I dont know if it's a monitor issue, computer settings issue, a game settings issue, or a combination.

4 squad wins in a row, which is fun, but I really can't wait until fpp gets stats and rankings so that it's not a complete toss-up whether you meet people who can aim or people who somehow are still rocking shotguns and uzis in the final circle

I've been mostly playing fpp and i find all the games are about as easy as a beginner mmr match.

FPP is just silly fun right now and teaching me all sorts of bad habits but whatever, I'll keep shooting nerds and occasionally getting rocked by someone who takes cover and isn't shooting kar body shots My friend asked me last night if I actually wanted them still because he stopped caring. I'm not sure if I care anymore, either. Wins out of total games yes, but the rest? Ehhhh

I know FPP isn't ranked, but is there still a hidden elo used for match-making? I know most games do this for unranked modes, but does PUBG? I've been trying to practice my shooty-shooty by dropping in high popularity areas and getting into brawls but I feel so consistently outplayed every single match, I wonder if maybe match-making just happens by random in FPP, which would explain the bell curve of players I'm running into. Like, I'm in the bottom 20 every single game for the past 30+ games, surely I should be playing against fellow old men and children by now? I really don't care for 3PP but I guess I'll learn to love it if it means getting a more appropriate challenge. As-is I just feel like I've hit a skill wall and nothing I do is improving it.

Last night in solo I spotted a guy trying to get a scythe takedown on someone with a shotty, he was hiding behind a tree, saw me coming and didn't move (I also had a shotgun). As his target approached I could see this was gonna end badly so I rushed and distracted the guy, allowing scytheboy to nail him with it. I pulled my fists out and we went at it but in the end the scythe got me

I didn't realize I did not have loudness equalization turned enabled on my headset. I enabled it so that I can hear all those precious directional sounds without bullets deafening me. And now every moment of the game is god drat terrifying. Walking through a house with loud footsteps in my ears having to remind myself that it's just my own feet. I'm on edge all the time.

flatluigi posted:Wait doesn't that gently caress you over about how far away sounds are, since they're all equalized to the same volume regardless of distance? It's not contracting the range of volumes to a point, just compressing it. Far sounds are still quiet, close sounds are still loud. The most annoying thing is it makes the ambient noise harder to ignore.
