This feels waaaaaay smoother than before. Props to Butthole company. The lack of ambient sound is real weird, though.

It's the first thing my squad noticed. We dropped rozhok with a couple others and it was so drat quiet. Almost zero ambient sound.

I noticed the patch notes saying they improved this too, but I am starting to wonder if they meant "make this happen more often." Happened to my squad for the first time ever last night, 10 seconds after we hopped on a 3 seater.

Ahhh! Despite the time change, we managed to get both kids down before 9. :chord:

A nice quiet Monday night for ol' pops here-- might as well fire up PUBG. Man, that was a good round: 3 kills, a pretty dramatic finish, #5 guy. Better go upstairs and grab a drink before launching the next round-- this is intense.



:thunk:

checkmate, PUBG.

drat near exact experience for me. Good round, 3 kills made it to last 5 players, go let the dogs out before next match and couldn't get back in. Even after updating it just kept telling me server is busy.

I just got this game this weekend and so far its been 75% frustrating 25% fun.

If you ever run into that situation again you should check their twitter feed. They announce downtime and how long it's expected to take.

That's a really interesting maintenance window.

Just bought this game last night, played 2 games before servers went down, first one I ran for 6 minutes then got shot in the back, second game I ran for 4 minutes then got into a firefight, during said firefight I realized I need to turn down the graphics settings because game turns into a slideshow when shooting starts happening, also died. 10/10 first experience, will run through miles of barren terrain/broken houses again, this is a good B&E sim.

*edit* I also looked for vehicles but never found any that were not blown up, which made me a little sad.

It's an interesting maintenance window because Bluehole considers China to be their core market. Maintenance is done during the least busiest time in China, which is usually when most Americans are playing.

Just got a new PC 2 weeks ago, been playing PUBG for about a week now. I’m a newb, still getting used to the guns, strats and locations. I started doing random duos and have a mic. My teammates get angry at me if I do something wrong to get us killed. Looking for someone to duo with that will teach me the ropes or not get angry when I make a newb mistake :(

I need to play with my settings tonight, but I (think) I'll be fine once I get the stuttering when firefighting squared away, coming from CSGO and a lot of other FPS' so it shouldn't be hard to pickup shooty mechanics once I can actually reliably get into a fight. Thanks for the tips though, I was a bit slow with looting because I'm trying to figure out wtf everything is.

Did not realize this, it makes sense then, it would be nice if there were serverwide messages that told you maintenance was happening....

There's a lot of things that Bluehole needs to do and the unexpected popularity of this game has utterly crushed this new company.

I have absolutely zero background or knowledge of how to make software or video games and do not pretend to or do I make cheap jabs about it.

Since they own all the servers, at least I don't think you can host your own, they can definitely send system-wide messages, it wouldn't be difficult.

Achievement pro-tip: All the Kill X Players with Y Weapon achievements can be done by downing people in duo/squad games with assault rifles and then finishing them off with the retard weapon of choice. It's definitely the easiest way to get the crossbow achievement.

Anyone with mic problems since the patch? I don't hear any squad mics and none of the characters have the mic icon (including mine) when we are in squad. I've checked settings and even went into the GameUserSettings file

I have seen system wide messages in game before. It was pre-release, but they were definitely there.

I was streaming to Facebook and I had an absolutely unbelievable vehicle kill. This guy came flying past me on a motorcycle, I sprayed him with an Uzi and blew up the motorcycle. Is there a way I can download videos on Facebook?? I really want to just edit that one part and post that because it's hilarious.

One critique is there are way too many icons and they overlap, so either a filter or reduction in them would be good.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely going to be adding some filtering soon and will let you know when it's in!

i got two kills in my first game and it counted as 4 for all the achievies. maybe because both were headshots

I'm a little perplexed. I just got this game ~2 nights ago when I was sick as a dog and needed something to do for the day. I see there's a patch and... I have to redownload the entire game? What is this, an Iphone game?
