I didn't have any issues waiting for a few seconds every now and the before, it was the perfect time to shitpost from phone. ngl my ridic load times every few games is really nice for finishin a cig or a joint. Textures not loading in Miramar is p crap, though. It's gotten better since the latest update at least. The building textures load much faster, but the poo poo indoors still takes a while. It's better than before tho when I couldn't enter half the buildings and the ones I did enter I ran the risk of getting stuck inside a wall or staircase if my timing was bad.

Yeah, the lights are out and some furniture won't load right away. Not as long as pre patch tho. But the weird part is most items would load, but not all of them. So I might end up with a handful of ammo before the gun for it is actually visible/lootable. Erangel has never given me issue. Very rarely I'd get the 'lights off' thing.

What first person shooter with 100 people on one map with thousands of spawned items and vehicles doesn’t run like poo poo? I’ve had a moment of clarity and realized why a big developer hasn’t achieved this yet. It’s loving hard because most computers can’t support it. Get a ssd and 16g of ram and shut up.

Yeah I figured that out when I landed on a roof with someone else, looked directly at where they landed and there wasn't a gun, run around and pick up a pistol and yet miraculously they're loading a goddamn shotgun which doesn't appear when I look at the recording.

On the flip side to that we've been struggling in the top 1.5% of squad FPP, it seems like that's the mode all the counterstrike veterans have joined because the flicks are insane out there, it's great. Unfortunately the netcode isn't up to snuff though so a lot of moments that should be really intense and close battles end up being stomps because of lag or desync. I shot some poor guy yesterday who would have been clearly behind cover on his screen my last shot still registered. Honestly 100% of the development time in PUBG (that's not spent fixing bugs) needs to be spent improving the tick rate. Also, #regionlock but they haven't done it yet and the game is released so whatever

Oh man the best is when they're clearly behind cover on your screen, yet they go down. Like when you're spraying some dude, they get behind the corner and you're like "one's behind the house, they're lit --- oh wait no just got the knock a second and a half late nevermind." e: region lock doesn't fix this problem, they just need to make having a high ping be a drawback instead of an advantage.

I can even tell when the plane is flying and have tried to box with a friend of mine, while blind, based on our footstep noises. The black screen happens to me for the first match of every session. Try watching a replay before starting to play, the black screen issue should pop up there and not for your actual games afterwards.

Imo having everyone be locked to <100ms ping would make a pretty big difference and it seems like that'd be a lot easier (even if temporary) fix. My (very cynical) opinion is that the servers are so overstressed it's possible they can't even collect latency information reliably, that is to say even if the client is only 10ms away and their connection is fine, the game engine is struggling so much it may be reporting variable data as packets are lost or delayed at the application layer

This, I think in general Bluehole is suffering from the “it’s a huge hit, gently caress yeah... oh gently caress” syndrome. They expected it to be a little arma mod spinoff played by their friends plus a few thousand people. There’s no way in hell they gave a thought to how they could scale up this game to 3+ million concurrent players. And throwing money at it doesn’t really work, not for them anyway. Google/Apple etc. can do that because they have the whole infrastructure (and more or less infinite money), but this is some dudes plus a little dev office in Korea. Money doesn’t solve that poo poo overnight, even if you somehow make perfect decisions every day when you have no idea what you’re doing. The expectations of indie devs have gotten way the gently caress out of wack with the popularity of their games due to digital platforms allowing for insane unexpected hits like PUBG.

The real shame is that PUBG would work perfectly well with 50 players on a map half the size. It may even work a lot better. With the desert map out, if you are trying to avoid the first 5 minutes of lag/bullshit, chances are you aren't even going to see anyone until 50~ left anyway.

In the vast majority of my Miramar matches there's 40 or less players left alive when the first circle closes. Generally I get to clear out whoever drops with me, maybe someone who wanted to ambush me as I left my drop spot, and then I get to just drive around hoping for people to shoot at me, or find a nice building in the center of the circle and play some 3DS games while the circle gets much smaller or until I hear shooting or a vehicle. the map would be so good if it was a 1/4 the size with the same amount of poo poo on it, just get rid of all the garbage open space and make it some bananas cityscape.

Even if you do have an SSD, most of them are still very limited in sizes and you generally have to carefully curate what stuff you decide to keep on it. "What disgusting moron doesn't have an SSD in 2018???" is meaningless when people might very reasonably have an SSD but not be able to fit every single game on it. Making a game that doesn't work properly on a platter drive is still not really excusable, and even if they had made a decision to do exactly that, it's not like the game makes any comment about it whatsoever in its systems requirements. FWIW I think the game has some kind of actual caching bug that is exacerbated by not being on an SSD, and has nothing to do with anything "wrong" with the computer.

You can't cache on a cold start. The game is loading, what, a few gigs of assets into memory at that time. A platter disk can probably only sustain around 80meg/sec and a decent SSD can sustain over 500 meg/sec. It's pretty clear which one is going to load the assets first.

That was an unreasonable support step to begin with, what is there to wonder about it taking a lot of time.
