I’ve been told the new “test” build resolves performance issues entirely and honestly the game shouldn’t chug as much as it does.

The test servers have very noticable performance improvements. Except for beginning of the game lag, that's horrendous.

Echoing the comments and recommendation for Test Server. It still has some jankiness to it and takes a bit of adjustment due to some UI changes, but I regularly get 10-20+ FPS better on a 970GTX, 16 gigs of RAM, SSD and i7 from 2012 on a Dell G-Sync 1440p S2716DG.

It generally has some good quality-of-life improvements so I always go Test when/if it's available. Among other changes I've found preferable:
- the audio adjustments, like the Red Zone will genuinely make you jump the first time you hear it and adds real tension as it feels like the loving apocalypse is raining down upon or around you
- airplane and skydiving noises are muffled
- subtle graphic touches like player animations and more realistic, nice-looking shallow depth-of-field effect when using optics
- Killcam (most of the time)
- hurdling is pretty nice, too. Jumping through a window and the shattered glass sound will freak out anyone close by
- anecdotal but seems like the RNG drops are slightly better. I’ve at least have more luck finding level 2/3 gear sooner

Anyone have a box capable of keep this piece of poo poo game consistently above 60 fps at 1440p? If so please post your specs.

i5-3570K @ 4.2ghz
1080 GTX
16GB 2400MHz RAM
1440p 144hz G-Sync Monitor

I get 60-100fps at all times except in the starting island while everyone's loading into the game.

In the game I have textures and view distance set to ultra, post processing at medium (I think), and shadows/foliage at very low. Can't remember if there's anything else.

And yeah, test server build seems noticeably smoother in general.

I still jump a bit. It was definitely great the first day that was out though as the group I was playing with had people cycle through. Every time a someone came in who hadn't played that build yet that first red zone would always be followed by a "holy poo poo!"

Shows how important sound really is in games, if you described the change they made it'd seem like nothing but it's everything.

I had a i5-4690k with a 1080 GTX and it was soooo bottlenecked in Battlefield 1. Your FPS seems pretty decent for PUBG though.

Not a problem, sir


gently caress yes, I always thought that'd be a perfect addition- slow fire .45 carbine for mid range.

At least I'm assuming it'll be .45 Colt, 30-30 models are more common which would let it use 7.62, but then its a slightly different less powerful Kar98k while .45 expands the utility of that ammo beyond the SMGs

That gun doesn't come in .45, it will probably be 7.62

But we're also desperately short of .45 guns

Would an Ingram M10 fit the same niche as a Micro Uzi? High rate of fire with poo poo accuracy without a stock but still murderous at phone booth distances. Again, speaking of .45 variety

Given there are zero context clues, there actually is a limit since they're based directly on real firearms, so you'd have to rely on IRL info as a base. You can argue for an AKM to use 5.56 but it'd just confuse people

And the Winchester 94 was originally in 4 proprietary cartridges, the most well known being 30-30. Later they made them in pistol calibres, including .357 and .44 Magnum and .45 Colt. Though I was getting it mixed with the 1873 lever action, which uses .45 Colt in H3VR so I blame Anton for that


A MAC10 wouldn't be far from the Vektor, just a larger magazine and more recoil. I'd be for it, prefer they add more unique firearms like the VSS and now the Winchester

What, no. It literally says what each gun takes in the game.

And if it's context clues you're after instead of it being spelled out, then you can usually count on the ammo type that's sitting right next to the gun being correct.

I did exactly this in a game earlier, I had a silenced UMP and a silenced AKM and no SR suppressor so I had no interest in using the AWM.

Should have won the damned game cause I looted a ghillie suit too, but I got killed by someone I'm pretty sure was hacking, considering they headshot me with the Uzi from like 50m away :rip:

I would have gladly taken the AWM over a silenced UMP, you are a fool!

Silenced AK is meh, I'd rather have a comp on it.

So i noticed some pretty bad netcode, or de-sync, or whatever-you-call-it BS last night.

I was peeking around the downed truck on the east bridge to military, not exposed too far. I see a dude walking up, he sees me. I move the sight to him and fire, he strafes and i miss. My bad. I instantly die. No health going down, nothing. ... not my bad.

I went back and looked at the recording, and he fired 3 times: two hit my cover to my left, one hit me. I died.
Since we don't have a killcam, i assume the game thought i was far out of cover, and all his shots (plus a couple more i didn't see on my end? I don't think 3 shots with an AKM should be enough to down a guy with lvl2 armor and helmet) all hit my oddly leaning-in-the-open body.


I was angry.
