I'm running a GTX 1070 and I still have weird, random minimizes to desktop and a couple of freezes where I can't load back to lobby after a game ends and I just have to straight restart my entire pc because I can't do anything to the client be it ALT+F4 or hard quit in task manager or whatever.

It's still early access though :shrug:

Yeah I have a 1070 too and PUBG was the first game I had to adjust Task Manager to "always stay on top" because I got tired of trying to navigate it with tab + arrow keys + delete when it would crash and force my screen black

I'm getting a few crashes with my 1070, but only when the match has ended and it's transitioning back to the lobby.

I used to crash like 1/15 games but ever since they released the patch that allows you to reconnect, I've ceashed like once every 200 games or so in game.

More often with the new shadowplay, the game will lock up so bad that I'll have to restart my pc entirely

YES! Yesterday I crashed three times in one game, and twice in the game after it before I just loving quit. Straight to desktop, no lag or obvious trigger. No bug report dialogue. Never happened before yesterday and I have 600+ hours.

Never blame anyone else but yourself. Even against hackers, you ask how could I have done that differently to beat the person hacking. It might be 100% unwinnable, but if you always blame yourself and and learn from it you get better... always reflect inwardly. I'm not good, but I have several friends that make excuses every time they die. It's unhealthy and doesn't lead to improvement. The british streamer in this clip is preventing himself from improving. Instead of reflecting on what he could have done, he's making excuses...I play with friends that blame the gun they are using every time they die. They blame pubg. They talk about how much luck is involved.

Everytime I see Chocotaco die, I see him blaming himself.


This is really good advice, cosmicjim.

I am really super bad at winning close range gunfights using anything but a shotgun. Sometimes I can spray someone down, but I want to actually win on purpose. Help me out here, the aiming and movement isn't as fluid as the shooters I am used to.

I don't know if anyone good at aiming who uses a higher DPI than 800 + low sens, kinda dumb how marketing for mice is all about how high the DPI can get. 3200 DPI for what? A 1080° noscope?

There was a dude named elusive1 in planetside 2 that played with pretty high dpi settings. You can look up his videos on youtube. You might get motion sickness. He was pretty drat good though.

Bigger number = better according to most people, regardless of what you're talking about.

I'm also terrible at aiming (I was recently crouched 10 feet from a guy and managed to shoot 2 feet to his right with a pistol, quickly corrected and missed 2 feet to his left, then finally lined him up and would have taken the kill shot if he hadn't calmly blown my face off) , but also old and historically terrible at shooting games, so I'm not sure my DPI is really the problem. Couldn't hurt to lower it even more tho I guess.

ADS, create a small angle where your enemy has to walk through and spray him when he comes through it. Maybe do a small shimmy yo throw his aim off, but it will make your aim worse too.

If you have higher DPI on your mouse you can turn down your sensitivity and have higher precision at no cost.

This is what I try to do, but sometimes I end up in a close range fight outside or in a living room and I just cannot keep my poo poo on point. Do I spray? Do I tap out the shots? Do I strafe, or just shoot? If I could keep my crosshair on point it would help.

In CS at least I could anticipate, pre-aim, and had a lot of practice. I don't get enough opportunities to practice heads-up combat in this because most of my fights are one party ambushing the other.

one thing I notice in a lot of streams like chocotaco and shroud is that they don't seem to reload that often? Like in the middle of a firefight when you think they'll have time to top off, they don't

I think it's probably a combination of a) wanting to be aggressive and b) knowing they don't need all 30 shots to kill a dude

My loading message hint bit aside, yeah I've also noticed this a lot. It looks more as a detriment almost, every so often they'll line up a headshot only to click and realize the Kar is empty.

Best guess so far is to gently caress with the compulsive reloaders (me) watching.

e: I mean it's good to switch to a second gun in a firefight sometimes instead or reloading, but just leaving an AR for a long while at like 15-17 rounds left happens annoyingly often.

I just got the game. In the OP's map of the island, do the "Military loot" circles mean that's the only place to find stuff like ARs and SMGs, or does that just mean you're more likely to find them? Or you're more likely to find better scopes and accessories? I'm planning on playing solo for a while so I hopefully spend <90% of my time staring at my still alive teammates.

E: NVM, very well armed populace apparently. First round: landed in Yasnaya Polyana, couldn't find a gun. Second round, ambushed in Pochinki. Third round, three kills before I died trying to figure out why I couldn't bandage myself (too high health?)

So the other day I dropped onto the tower blocks near the school and just as I was landing on the roof I heard a huge explosion, louder than any I've ever heard in the game, I thought a nuke had gone off or something. Any idea what that could have been right at the start of the game?
