I haven't seen any updated testing results on this from anyone (particularly WackyJacky), but I understand that there were changes to ballistics with the 1.0 release of the game.

What the gently caress did they do to this game. My computer went from running it like a champ at low settings to acting like someone curbstomped it and it has all of its brains on the sidewalk. This update blows. If someone has any idea on how to fix it I am all ears, everywhere else that has a solution is from like a year ago.

If anyone else is experiencing poor performance, check to see if it’s in full screen or borderless window.

Mine ran like poo poo until I noticed it was in windowed (40fps), one I changed it to fulls teen it was running great (90fps).

Ha, I opened this thread for this exact experience and question. At least I killed the fucker and took 2nd place.

Game badly needs the option to report directly from replays.

I think I'm going to switch to FPP only and see if the cheating is indeed less common.

I went ahead and captured the 10 minutes of footage, uploaded it to YouTube, and sent it to the support team. Here's the video if anyone is curious: https://youtu.be/ktQWx5PYBpM

I don't think we'd see as much cheating if the devs didn't monetize BP by allowing people to sell on the marketplace (and also tying BP to performance).

There is a hard-cap of 7 crates a week so that's about $3.50 if you get all survivor crates. Using the $15 china/russia pricing that's still over 4 weeks to just break even in the best case scenario (assuming you don't get banned by then). No one is cheating to make money.

this is a better avatar than what I had before
The first squad v solo victory, dropped leones, literally didn't see anyone until the last 20 guys left. Got three pretty decent kills, especially on the dude at the end, also had two kills stolen so it was a pretty good match all in all!



Also: the squad FPP "no hacker" streak continues where I haven't even had something I've been a bit suss on for like 20 games now

I'm not saying anyone is making a killing. I'm just saying that performing well does have a monetary incentive, albiet a small one.

today i had netcode jank work for me instead of against me for the first time i could notice. landed, grabbed a shotgun and then started a firefight with a guy using a pistol. i fired my first shot at him, seems like i've whiffed the shot and then two seconds later get the knockout. it usually feels like in those first couple of seconds i'm always the one getting knocked out from around a corner or the like

yeah pubg has worst in class netcode. tickrate on pick poo poo up is like 2 (2 actions per second), which is why when bunch of people land in the same place you cant pick gun up 4-5 times in a row

oh and general junk

+ really stupid shotgun damage model. they shoot x pellets. one of them is special and determines multiplier for the damage dealt applied to the rest of them. if special pellet hits head, other 8 hit leg - you deal 9 headshots. if special pellet hits leg, other 8 hit head - you deal 9 leg shots. if special pellet misses, other 8 hit head - you deal no damage. great, isn't it? :wtc:

all this information is terrible for my ability to improve because it becomes so easy to blame external factors for close losses instead of trying to identify flaws in your own play. obviously i lost that fight because of netcode or hackers or other jank, just ignore the fact that i was running straight at the other player panic firing around them

They must have tweaked a few things like that to try to ease the early game server load with the change to 1.0 because since the test servers started running the new map people who are parachuting lag and rubberband like crazy. If you're dropping over a large city they'll all rapidly jerk towards the ground at the same time. It looks goofy and personally it really fucks with my ability to see how many people are landing near me and where they are.

SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>
Spotting people gets a lot easier the better you get (and the higher your rank goes, especially). Every time they reset matchmaking you'd notice people literally everywhere. Normally you can assume that no one is stupid enough to run half a klick through an open, flat field to attack your compound. New players will. It's fuckin nutty the places new players will show up. They're usually easy to kill, but they do things you will literally never see at higher rankings.

Good players are easier to spot because 99% of the time they're at cover and there's only so much cover around.
