Why is there a report button for people you kill?

Who does it report though?

I was playing squads earlier today and I died, but my teammates still won. At the end screen, I hit the report button, and it was a report for my teammate. I reported him for inappropriate nickname, regardless.

I haven't done a side by side test yet, but I'm not noticing a big difference. And that's after having set my card to max performance power options in the Nvidia control panel.

Post your specs if it worked for you, I would guess it depends on your bottleneck.

i3-4130
GTX970 OC
8GB DDR3.

i7-4790K @4.4
2x GTX970 SSC+
32GB DDR3

I definitely don't have any bottlenecks you don't, unless you have your game on SSD. Mine's on a HD, but it is one dedicated to games and not shared with downloads or the system (which is on a SSD that's too small and I need to upgrade).

My Windows DPI scaling setting is at 100% across all three monitors and I'm running the game in windowed fullscreen.

I suspect that last part is important if the DPI setting actually does have an impact, I'd bet it doesn't apply to exclusive fullscreen. If I get bored enough tonight I'll properly test it.

Please do. All these settings changes are being weird for me. I changed my Nvidia power options to maximum performance and got worse FPS. Not sure why. I would think temperature throttling, but it never got above 70 according to RivaTuner / Afterburner. CPU never got over 60. I think I need to make changes one at a time so I'm not hunting down which out of four changes caused a problem.

It would always get better after about halfway through the game too.

I tried it and feel it upped it 10 to 20 fps, and more importantly made it less prone to fluctuations.

I keep deciding not to save any gifs or screenshots of my games where I really should, but I got my first two chicken dinners tonight, not including ones I got carried to. Two in a row playing duos with my little brother. Not super exciting games, both of them we spent a lot of time looting at the start. But by the end of both we each had 3-4 kills, which is good enough for me.

Mini-14 is good enough to make me not seem bad, Tommy Gun is probably suboptimal but I don't care because I get to hose someone down from 5 feet away with a gangster-style Thompson.

I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

0-kill wins are the silliest thing, but I'm glad for a win in any case.

The only thing that helped my performance was after I ran http://www.userbenchmark.com which identified my ram was running like poo poo.

Apparently my motherboard BIOS doesn't default to the higher ram speed so it was running at like 1/2 speed. I had no idea that was a setting that needed to be fiddled with, and this is the second pc I've built. If you have a home built pc i deffo recommend running user benchmark to see how your individual components are performing compared to the database average.

Yeah, the Thompson and Vector seem to be showing up more often. I'm fine with that.

I like how the extended quick draw mag is just a drum with a loop of string hanging off it.

That bechmark is probably wrong, guessing your memory is dual channel so it's running as it should be, no need to fiddle with it.

In the BIOS it was actually defaulted to like 599hz instead of another option for 1199hz, I did have to change it to the XMP profile. I also saw immediate improvements in everything outside of PUBG.

To be clear, motherboards won't overclock the RAM (or anything) by default, so you really shouldn't be surprised.

Go drop in some medium zones like pochinki, gatka, shooting range, stabler, prison to get into some early combat to get out of your funk.
Also, stop looting after you get some basic gear and just go hunting fools. If you're on the offensive you can surprise quite a lot of players.

If you're in a populated area and want to kill, stop looting after you find a shotgun or an SMG + if possible some armour. Shotguns and SMGs are great for rushing while people are still mostly looking out for loot.
