No, it runs everything pretty well, 16GB RAM, GTX970. I'm trying to get into combat by dropping into the cities but no luck getting kills. Last two games I've got a few solid hits in on someone but they both ran away before I could kill them and when we met up again I was slowest on the draw and got killed without firing a shot. Just need to practice, really.

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.

Players like me who wait for the circle to shrink and then jump out of a blood soaked house to find a player prone waiting for me for like 8 minutes.

This is what I aspire to be. The time I hid in an attic for 10 minutes and cut down someone who came looting is probably my favourite kill ever. It's like they're bringing the loot to you!

my favorate kill was me sitting in a bathroom of a house, having closed all the doors and sitting facing the door. I had not touched anything (I didnt need any of the weapons or ammo) so the house looked perfectly virgin.

I hear him walking around, looting, charging his weapons, and he gets closer and closer, not knowing i am there. He opens the bathroom door and blam, right in the face with a shotgun. Must have scared the poo poo out of that guy.

I was born naturally good at this game but now, through the use of 'pro' strats and running toward gunfire, I've improved from getting chicken dinners every 5-8 games to never getting chicken dinners but at least I have sick loot when I die outside the circle/having run straight into the enfilade spot between two different squads while my teammates shoot unsilenced shots at enemies without saying anything. :confuoot:

I seriously can't lead people at all, I don't know why. Hopefully I just need more practice. Shooting range would be very nice.

Whenever I try to stream my game audio is delayed by like 25-30 seconds. My webcam and mic sync up fine, it's only the game audio that is delayed. I'm using OBS with nvenc on a 7700k & 1080. Any ideas what it could be? It also crashes every time I alt tab while I'm streaming =(

If you find that you can't hit poo poo here's some general tips:
  • lower your sensitivity. at the very least it should take you more than 6 inches to do a 180
  • anticipate your shots. any time you're in a firefight or expect to be in one mentally place your enemy on the other side of the wall or corner or whatever and aim where you expect them to be. don't aim at the floor. there aren't any enemies there.
  • if you're finding that you can't land shots at a distance you're probably overcompensating. if compensating vertically just aim at center of mass until you really get a feel for the bullet drop, then you can move to clicking heads. if compensating for a moving target try to start at or near center of mass then move further ahead until your shots land. for both vertical and horizontal compensation I found that I was way overcompensating for a long time before i figured this out.
  • you can single tap way faster than you think. at any distance over 50m try clicking single-fire faster than you're comfortable with. you'll become accustomed to the kick very quickly and find that you kill enemies way faster than before.

Try setting the OBS capture to a specific window, and select PUBG.

I'm pretty sure that's how I've had it set up, like this right?

For some reason I thought I had to do full screen in order to have G-Sync enabled (Asus PG279Q) but maybe that was only on my old BenQ...can't remember. I'll give it a shot though.

It's an option in gsync settings.

Also re: do you have enough power?

Probably fine. I have a very similar build just swap out the 1080 with a 1080ti and I don't have any problems doing 1440p in game and 1080p60 over stream.

Though for what it's worth a lot of folks still have trouble actually watching a 1080p stream if you are on twitch so you may wanna drop that stream stage down to 720p60 or 900p60.

I'll post my friends perspective once he uploads it, but he was prone in the grass on the left the whole time with a ghille (where you see his muzzle flash on that guys death cam perspective). The guy crouched at the tree was completely visible to him most of the time and he was pretty much just deciding which one of them to shoot first. That poo poo would never happen in FPP.

I have to say that PubG has to be one the lesser optimized games. I'm a able to run nearly every other title without issue even ARMA 3 but this game just occasionally chugs.

These are definitely the two most important things that literally everyone does wrong. All my friends have done or do these things and I average around 50% of our kills in 4-man squad games.

E: Also, learning these two things go hand-in-hand with the Mini-14, which is firmly the best gun in the game, crate drop or otherwise

Best thing I learned about combat in this is to stop shooting at people, if they don't see me/are moving away from me in a direction I do not want to go and I don't have a like perfect shot I'll let them live as opposed to before where I would shoot at the first pixel I see and get swarmed.

Does it actually happen though? I see videos of other people doing it but I assume they're manipulating the video, because I've taken plenty of shots at people from distance and nothing ever really comes of it.
