Anything that can be done to stop fps dropping when in a firefight?

On a somewhat old at this point computer with 8 gb ram and a GTX 660, runs the game at 40-45 fps on very low everything but once I get shot at the fps drops to 15-25 and that little second or two long slide-show means it's hard to win a close up fight.

Maybe the next patch will help with the fps issues?

If I post before 5pm PST, PM my boss and tell him I'm fired.
So on occasion I'll peek out, exchange shots then get back behind cover and no longer have line of sight with an enemy, but I'll end up dying moments later. So I've been curious about what my ping actually is and what game server(s) I'm actually connecting to from California on the West coast.

If I join a solo FPP game, then check Resource Monitor -> Network Activity -> then look at the connections from TslGame.exe, I see the vast majority of data is being sent to/from ec2-34-205-64-70.compute-1.amazonaws.com, and then a fraction of data is being sent to/from ec2-52-14-36-175.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Looking up that address shows that this smaller connection is probably going to Ohio.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it seems like I'm connecting to that East coast server (perhaps somewhat indirectly).

Does anyone know for sure if West coast servers actually exist for PUBG, and I don't suppose there's any way to specify a sub-region when matchmaking?

I just joined a solo TPP game just to see if perhaps FPP games are only East coast, but I got the same results.

Edit: Another potentially useful cross reference for Amazon servers

Processor? Bumping a few graphics settings up may take some load off of your CPU, it's worth a try.

intel core i5-4670 quad core 3.4 ghz, it's probably showing it's age by this point, but handles every other game on high or medium.

Looks like a PUBg like just came out on Android. It was called Rules of Survival, but now goes by Survivor Royale. Downloading now, I'll post about it once I give it a spin.

Edit:

Pretty much just as advertised. PUBg on your phone.

Difficult without a controller, voice comms, teams, squads, I couldn't get solo play to work. It's best to keep mics muted, the first thing I heard was someone taking a piss. Graphics aren't too bad, easily playable on my amazingly average LG K20 Plus.

In as Kabuki.

This is a fun bug: I can't join games any more, it seems. Solo, duo, or squad, I hit ready and it just hangs on that splash screen, for some reason I can't seem to get in. I've verified my game files, no problems there. Any other ideas?

Turns out my issue was running it borderless windowed instead of standard fullscreen. Once I went fullscreen it smoothed completely out and I can run it on high at 1440p just fine. It's a shame though because now none of my overlays work.

Oh drat I should see if this fixes my framerate issues, there's no way I should be getting like 20fps with a GTX 1070.

I think he means the person controlling the camera, and it has been really bad. Some of the other tournaments have much better observers controlling the camera.

Yeah the casters are good, but the guy doing obs is either extremely slow or always looking at random people that aren’t in a fight ever.

Wasn't someone saying that it takes the obs like 20 seconds to switch views or something because the objects take so long to res in properly?

Shame as it makes tracking action happening almost impossible.

If that’s true that really sucks and this game is straight up not ready for any type of tournament to be watched. There’s also big frame rate problems sometimes too.

Camera work is loving garbage as usual. Nothing's improved since Gamescom. Both Bluehole and ESL haven't done poo poo to improve the spectating experience, but hey, who can turn down all that sponsorship money. They also really need to have a separate map-only stream or something. Too many missed moments where we're either looking at a map, playing Sim City or intensely examining the bark of a tree.

Is there any compelling reason to broadcast this live? Couldn't you have a bit of a delay and cut together some overhead stuff and the actual screens of the players where the action is? Until spectator is fixed, anyway.

Holy poo poo, that was loving hype. After game 1 of 4 today, TSM was dead last with terrible luck on the first drop, in 20th place overall. Then some decent results, and in game 4 an incredibly tense chicken dinner to end the day in 1st place overall.

The chat was insane.

PubG really needs two streams, where one stream is a silent view of the map and the other is actual combat. Then I can watch them side by side.

I would argue it was worse because they didn't allow player streams this time.

I was watching some of the Asian events and they were actually pretty smooth. They had picture-in-picture for map and observer mode stuff and poo poo was always action-packed. The observer mode definitely still needs a lot of work, but seems like ESL is also just complete rear end at production.

EDIT: Holy gently caress they have post-game analysis where it's like a goddamn weather report.
