Yeah. Basically you should avoid apartment buildings without roof access.

I know who you are. You are destiny.


Sometimes I wonder how loving dumb it must look to a player passing by when I fail to crouch jump through a window 40 times in a row.

There is one town in this game and it is Pochinki. All else is but a cobblestone on the burning path to the Holy City.

What about the warehouse north of Pochinki church? I accidentally dropped short of Pochinki my last solo match last night. That warehouse had 2 416es, 180 rounds of 5.56, a helmet, a vest, and a couple accessories for the 416. Was that just good luck, or do those warehouses tend to have good loot? If that's normal it seems like a good place for a duo drop. Safer initial looting, then you can push from the north.

In georgopol at the six white apartments you can jump from roof to roof. Its really really fun to land near someone, jump a roof or two over and surprise them from above. You can also jump on the railing, walk to the edge and fall down to the lip of the top of the first floor without taking damage at every apartment with a roof. gently caress stairs

Alright, I realize this is hardly the place for tech support but I've gone down every single suggestion on PUBGs forums with no luck. A friend of mine gifted me the game on steam about a week ago and I have been trying on and off to get the drat thing running.
First I had the issue that the game wouldn't even start. I'd hit play on steam, and could watch as two battleye launchers would pop up on task manager and then disappear after a few seconds. Thankfully after much fiddling I've managed to resolve that.
Now, however, I'll click the play button, battleye will appear to launch successfully and then I'll get an error reading something like "tslgame.exe could not start, application error 0x000009a." Something along those lines, I'm afraid I don't have my computer in front of me.
As I said, I've tried every solution I could find on the game's forums. Update drivers, update windows, start steam as an administrator, start the game as an administrator, reinstall those windows visual packages or whatever they're called, basically everything.
The buddy who gifted me the game has been really eager to play with me, despite me telling him about the trouble I've been having, and I feel like I just don't have the heart to tell him to try and get a refund because it's just not working. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I know all about the drop from the top floor to the landing, to the ground. How do you jump roof? Up on the railing first?

Yes. Next time you're up on the roofs there just look, its really easy and doesn't require crouch jumping. You can only go from roof to roof in either row of 3 (essentially NW-SE)

Is anyone else occasionally unable to use keyboard controls after jumping from the plane and before pulling the chute? This happens to me about one out of every 10-20 jumps. I can control which way I turn but can't go into a dive. Not a huge deal but kind of a bummer if I've got a plan for my drop and then I have to land somewhere completely different.

it happens when I alt tab or hold alt while looking at the map, let go of everything and push alt once to get control back

Alt-tab out of the game to fix it. I've had it happen a few times and this always seems to do the trick. If you do it quick enough it doesn't even really affect your drop.

Are these guys headshotting me from several hundred meters away with a k98 while I'm sprinting cheating or just that good? I seem to die to them in roughly half my solo matches. I feel like I'm ducking and weaving and trying not to run in a straight line as much as possible, but I can't say for sure I'm not when I'm hit. The only reason I ask is because it's always headshots.

I know it goes against everything this thread stands for, but watch some streams. Some of these players are very good and will hit those shots. They'll miss some too, sure, but when you're the one killed by the one-shot it's not like you have a large sample size.

Are you sure they're always that far away? My aim sucks and I can at least reliably hit people out to 400m with a 4x on a kar. Getting headshot sucks but it happens.

The real problem sounds like you're running through open fields, which makes it that much easier to hit you. Run alongside hills or behind tree cover. Take the long route if you have to. Just don't run through wide open spaces.

Sep 23, 2007
Nah, I'm not in open fields. It usually happens when I'm cresting a hill or running between trees on a hillside. I believe people can be that good, I just thought it was bizarre because it seems I only run into them in solo games, not group matches.

The biggest question is are you standing still? Plenty of people are good enough to headshot while you're standing still when you have cover on the wrong side. Are you peaking and firing multiple shots at them?

Hitting a moving headshot is pretty hard, though so that would likely be more suspicious but far from impossible. When in doubt, no one is cheating. But if you see a dude racking up headshot after headshot on every consecutive shot or doing it while jumping, then you can probably safely say they're cheating. In either case, report everyone for cheating because the button is right there, so clearly they want you to.

when you hear the shot if they're that far away you should stutter step. if they're leading you the shot will miss.

If they're that far away the shot will hit before you hear it. Actually really good attention to detail.

Not a lot you can do about the first shot other than not sit still and not run through open fields. The follow up shots though you can make a lot harder.

That's fair. I tend to juke a little bit when running across fields just out of habit. I get there a bit slower, but I'm also less likely to get nailed out of nowhere.

If you're alt-tabbing during the plane ride then it's probably because by pressing alt you're going into freelook mode. The regular camera looks the same as freelook on the outside of the plane so to make sure it's off, move the mouse a bit and then tap alt. If the camera spins to a different angle, then you just turned freelook off and you're good. If the camera doesn't spin then you just turned it on and need to press alt again.

I think you mean the vector is cursed and coming across one in the wild means you are about to get instantly killed by someone you never saw.

I just had a really frustrating loss. I ended up #4, circle is closing in on a single building. It's occupied by me, and a guy out on a balcony. Circle closes in again, the balcony is no longer in the circle. He gets up, I unload my AK at him, he kills me. My shots all threw up chunks of wood despite not having the red circle thing. Is there something I was missing? I need to turn on my automatic highlights thing.

Still my highest finish so far, although it's really frustrating that there's a good chance I could have turned it into a win. Also frustrating because I used my only grenade literally one minute before this situation. That would have handled it very well.
