i once had a game where we got three crates (we were off in some random corner of the map and they all happened to be dropped there over the course of the game) and got sniped from a mile away after looting the last one and moving towards the circle.

Interesting post from the developers. This is what they think is wrong and are working to fix. Ping lock is no-where on the list.

Scheduled To Be Fixed

These issues have been already resolved internally. They will be applied in the next live server patch.

The compass UI wobbling when parachuting straight down
Dying from falling when vaulting and climbing in the water
Delay between reload and the first shot
The adjusted zoom level in 8x scope resets after changing into another weapon
When the character opens the door while sitting down, the door opens as the character stands up instead of opening immediately
When player changes the seat while the motorcycle is in the air, it stops and sinks to the ground
0x magnification scopes are intermittently pixelated
Some in-game texts are missing or misaligned
After reconnecting to the game, the camera direction of ADS FPP goes off intermittently

Under Investigation / Fix In Progress
These are issues that are under investigation or in the process of being resolved.

Random overturning of motorcycles
Two players getting stuck in the door
When reporting through replay, sometimes the name is wrong or even invisible
Long Leather Boots (Brown) do not have spikes in the game
4x scope's aim point shows in red instead of blue in colorblind mode
Friends list does not function normally
“Reconnect” button does not show when trying to rejoin the game after being disconnected from a custom match
After reconnecting to a DUO/SQUAD game, team members cannot distinguish or revive each other
After reconnecting to a DUO/SQUAD game, team members’ markers on the map are different from their actual locations
After reconnecting to a DUO/SQUAD game, team members’ HP indicators on the lower left appear full and do not change

Need To Be Reported
These are comparatively rare issues that require individual resolution. If you are experiencing one of these issues, please contact customer support.

In the main menu, the BP appears as N/A and there is a message that says match making failed
Please contact customer support with screenshots of your main menu. The issue is due to an issue with inventory information
BP appears as "-"
Sometimes when the server is unstable, actions that consume BP such as character customization are made multiple times in a series, consuming a large amount of BP at the same time. Please take a screenshot of your main menu and contact customer support
When trying to reconnect to the game after disconnecting, “Reconnect” button isn’t there.
If you see an error message in the lower part of the main menu, please contact customer support with a screenshot.

The VW van might be acceptable if it could climb a steep grade road. As it is, it has no equivalent in Erangel and is just needlessly lovely.

That looks like a bug list and not a new feature list so it isn't shocking that things like ping lock or a new map aren't on there

This. I like the lovely VW - it gets you out of the blue, and gets you down the road far enough to find a buggy or a pickup. That's all it has to do.

They're hilarious and lovely death traps otherwise, and they're fun to watch rolling down hills while you wait for them to come into range.

The Bus is great. Don't get me wrong, it's loving terrible, but that's what's so great about it. It's a loud, huge, slow bullet magnet. Any time your entire squad is in it you can't expect anything good to happen.

The bus can take a lot of bullets before exploding too. I think it has the highest HP for a vehicle. It's good for mobile cover.

I was playing with a team that was doing two people flanking on bikes it was working really well. Two people would hang back and plink away while the other two would hop on bikes and around then everyone would push at once. It was a really fun strategy.

my last pecado drop i aimed for the arena roof and just barely missed it so i was hanging off the side so i cut the chute to drop down to the ground outside but instead it warps me up to the roof right above a hole so i fall all the way down to the bottom floor and take half damage.

they really should just make you immune to damage from chuting or some poo poo because there have been plenty of times where i barely fell and took 1/4 and poo poo.

I take fall damage while landing from the parachute so much that I have also thought to myself "why don't these idiots just make me invulnerable until my chute is gone", but knowing this team there would 100% be corner cases were a person could land and that flag would never get triggered so they'd just run around in god mode.

it's weird because i don't remember it happening all that often pre1.0 (i stopped playing for awhile before and during launch).

Apparently when shooting up or down hills, your shots will hit high, so aim lower.

My best bus memory is my first game on miramar with irl friends, where a dude did 2 passes trying to run us over, I killed him on the second pass and warned my friends it might roll into us. We got out of the way, about 20m from it, it hit a road barrier and flipped sideways and meteored into all 4 of us.

Does anyone else get really weird lagspikes when running into an enemy or getting shot? I mean stuff like this.

The game just randomly chokes from time to time, usually right around the time I get shot. It basically kills any chance I might have of reacting, and it happens often enough to be a pain. I think it only started after last patch?

neurotech posted:

I was getting this, and removing all my launch options from the game in Steam seems to have fixed it for me.

Conversely, I fixed the issue by adding "-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -sm4 -d3d10 -malloc=system -lowmemory" to the launch options.

Also seconding the dislike for the new map and feeling like there's too much open space/not enough vehicles. Re: vehicles it seems like only the covered pickup is a viable option for squads. Though I guess better players already split up into multiple vehicles so maybe its a "being bad" problem.

Half of those launch options doesn't actually do anything anymore, a quarter is for ARMA.

On Miramar chat: it's too big and the loot is too evenly spread out

You can almost spend the entire game looting Los Leones and that's assuming you are actively looting: if you want to be totally safe you can loot slowly and stay completely hidden within the huge apartment buildings.

That's not to say I don't like it, but I think they need to add more hotspots to certain areas to keep it interesting

New map is probably quite a ways off - last I saw, they were expecting it to take 8-9 months to generate each new map (though presumably they could hire an extra team and work on more than one at once).

The new map is way too big. I assumed I disliked it at first because I didn't know it as well, but even now that I know where everything is I either drop with 30 other people or I drop elsewhere and don't see anyone for the first 6 circles.

My playstyle is to loot minimally and avoid engagements until the late game, so I quite like the new map - there are tonnes of places people just don't go at the start, and at the end the final zones are often in towns with lots of cover so you get more interesting gunfights than crawling in a field.

New map is good, if just for the high value concrete buildings. Its nice have a good AR/sniper with level 2 vest/helmet and a scope nearly guaranteed after checking 1 or 2 of these.

Miramar can be boring as gently caress but when firefights do happen they tend to be a lot more enjoyable than Erangel. Trees are traded for good defilade so fights are less about tree-peeking and more about movement and tactics.
