Its actually the opposite. Death cams are wildly inaccurate. When you get double tapped by an AK or SKS outside of 30m in a quarter of a second then you know. But that also takes awareness.

Yeah the only hacks I've been able to spot was people using no-recoil stuff. But with my 200+ hours logged I've only run into that twice.

As long as you play FPP the hacking isn't too bad.

Going against my gut, I decided to run a "verify integrity of game files" in Steam with the risk of it just wiping and having to re-install everything. Pleasant surprise: it downloaded about 27 megs of stuff and now the game works.
Oh don't worry I know how to fix it, but that wasn't my point (in retrospect my post was ambiguous unless you looked carefully at the image I posted). My point was that renaming/deleting the miramar files to avoid the map no longer works because you just get that error, and blocking access to those files with local security policy doesn't seem to work either. Haven't played since I realised that (yeah I hate miramar that much - leaving/re-queing doesn't work nearly as well as deleting files did).

This. I just got my first chicken dinner, went back and watched the replay - at one stage I was in a hay field getting sniped at, but I couldn't tell the direction, so I just sort of just ran around a hay stack 3 times until someone else killed the sniper.

I was super obvious and could have died any number of times.

When I die in a shootout, I'm often surprised that the points awarded to me are so low. Like, I think, the guy I was fighting must be down to a single hit, left. I see the blood puffs around his face. But when I talk to my squadmates, they say (if they were spectating me) that they didn't see much, if any blood splats and the hit points are accurate. So what is going on here, do you think? Why am I seeing hit indications when there are none? Is it a graphics glitch, like the hitbox animation trigger is 2x bigger than the (I don't know programming) or maybe it's a connection issue? Am I lagging, and on my side it says I connect but actually because of lag the bullet missed by just enough?

Netcode is hosed, op.

Played a lot last night, seemed worse than usual. Shot a guy with a shotgun close range, he had no vest. He kills me. I look at death cam. I face charge him, he kills me. My shotgun goes off while I'm dead on the ground. Muzzle flash and everything.

Wanted to share a project I've been working on that creates interactive maps like this from your PUBG replays. You just point it at your replay directory and it'll figure out where you went, who shot whom, and a lot of other stuff (with more coming).

It's still a little rough, but would love feedback!

It'll show the TK on the map now. After folks have uploaded enough data to make it interesting, I'll be adding more stats across matches (e.g. accuracy stats with different weapons) and definitely makes sense to add TKs to that.

(btw, realized that it was hard to notice the interactive link in the first post so edited it - you can go to https://www.chickenspotter.com/matc...zExMTcsMTM2NF19 to play with the map and upload your own replays if you're interested)

Also your bullets don't deal any damage if they land after you get downed. I've landed a kar 98 headshot that didn't count (the blood splatter even showed up in the deathcam).

Talking of blood splatter, I finally turned to the dark side and switched on blue blood. So much easier to see when you land hits... feels kinda gross.

And you guys talk about letting other people loot for you? I landed hospital and was dealt a lovely hand, so I decided to put that method to use...

Before new patches are put onto the live servers, they put the patch on the test server for a few days.

Since the update I both can't click on any buttons after I die like spectate or death cam or exit match and I have to press escape>exit to get out. And secondly and worsly I can't take scopes off of guns. All other attachments work like normal but any scope on any gun doesn't register. I have to carry an extra one to auto-swap it onto the gun if I want to take the first one off.

This is very cool, this is the kind of "analyse what I''m doing wrong" tool that I was wishing existed.

Would it be possible to switch the map to full screen and have the player selectors and menu as an overlay similar to the ingame replay system? Would increase the screen real estate quite a bit. Seconding the offer to help if you want any

I guess they know there are people out there obsessed with achievements and they are always trying to get more people playing in the test servers so they get more data.
