Played one game on live 1.0 NA, no rubber banding. Died basically immediately due to having sound only through monitor speakers but hey at least the servers are not on fire yet.

Still asks if you want to continue match after you're dead and back to the lobby. Plus the pick up system is completely hosed if you're anywhere near a door and don't use Tab.

Might just be my pc but when you load the game and backdrop loads in and it just hangs there for like 10 seconds before it even tries to connect with the server.

Anyone running an Nvidia card used that new 388.71 driver? I'm running a 1060gtx on a laptop should I update the driver?

I have an Intel i7 7700k and a GTX 970 with the new driver and the game is running way above 60 on medium/high settings even in the lobby on 1080p. Didn't play the test server so I don't know if the driver is contributing much to that improvement from a few months ago.

Hacienda del patron is pretty much in the middle of the map and always seems to see a good bit of action. If for some reason it doesn't, worst case scenario is you being stuck with more weapons and ammo than you can carry in a baller villa

Hacienda is the desert version of school I think, as a centrally located area with decent loot and ~10 people dropping at it.

Hey gurl, hey.
Thanks goons. I'll see you nerds in the hacienda.

Edit: First drop on the hacienda I get killed by a frag grenade. First time that's ever happened in 120 hours of playing this dumb game.

Edit: Second drop: Nobody else dropped there. Ended up with level 3 everything except for the backpack, completely kitted out silenced SCAR with a 4x, and health and boosts for days. Then I forgot how vehicles work in this game and died bailing out of a speeding truck. I wasn't even in danger, i just wanted to have a look around.

I find Pecado way more fun also because it's a small village with plenty of people playing. Always gets lots of shooting and hiding

How hard is the learning curve on this for people like me that are no good at things like CoD and prefer something like Overwatch or World of Tanks, I’m a Xbox player if that’s relevant. The game looks good but I don’t know if I’d get past the 90 players left mark.

It's mostly just luck

You can get better at the game but most of my deaths have been to guys I couldn't see. It's not like a tense firefight or whatever, it's about who gets the drop on who first. Sometimes I go entire games and only see like 2 people total as well so even if you suck you can do well if you're just careful

Review videos of how the game looks/runs on Xbox if you are considering playing it on that platform. General consensus is that it runs like poo poo and looks even worse, no joke.

It's a good and fun game with some occasional hurdles to the immense enjoyment and doesn't really have much of a learning curve outside of non-hitscan weapons, but the console version might have a few hurdles too many to be worth it.

The game may be worth avoiding on xbone unless you have the One X because of the almost unplayably poor performance(15-20fps a lot of the time), it also doesn't have any aim assist on the console version last I checked, which has made for no small number of really badly embarrassing videos of people unable to hit eachother while standing 10 feet away.

Also loving up and dying early in this game is pretty punishing if you're playing with friends because you basically have to sit out the rest of the round unless they want to drop out, if the pain of not being able to respawn sounds like too much, on top of the downsides of suffering through the experience of PUBG on a console, then the game might not be for you.

Good soup!

It's best to play this game assuming that there is at all times another player just out of your vision with a bead on your head and there's nothing you can do about it, so don't feel too bad about it when you get killed
