According to reddit and some dudes on the mouse-sensitivity forums, the game's vertical sensitivity is 70% of the horizontal one. You need to change it through a config file if you want 1:1.

Wow. What a loving garbage game. Why can't they get basic poo poo right?

I ran some tests myself because I couldn't believe it, but yeah, the mouse travel distance was way different between axis when tracing the square side of a regular wooden crate at the spawn locations. After trying the fix it was way better. Not sure of a good way to replicate the 70% measurement but it seems close. The other option would be to set individual axis sensitivity in your mouse software if it can.

Hopefully this doesn't lead to bans.

Made even better by the fact that the sensitivity settings don't scale linearly, so it's not like you can just solve a math equation to figure out what you need to set them to.

Are there sound settings other than volume in game? Looking in the settings menu it just seems I can adjust volume for different sounds, is the rest controlled via windows settings? (i.e. 7.1, speaker etc)

The reason I ask is because I have no issues with sound from a distance, but close up I can't loving tell where people are shooting/coming at me from and it's getting really annoying.

Also, every time the game updates, at least I think it's game updates, it switches my server back to Asia, is there a way to force it to NA always?

Not that I've found (but I mostly have trouble with sound orientation from long range). What I can say is that in my audio software, I had been using the setting for 7.1 or 5.1 but I actually always play with a headset. Once I switched that back to 'stereo' or 'headphones', my directional sound was improved. My mobo has a RealTek audio chip, so it comes w/ their audio manager which also has something called 'headphone virtualization' but who the hell knows what that does.

Nope, but they're too focused on delivering new "content" like strategically-disadvantageous gun skins to be worrying about fixing stuff like that. However, from what I've seen, their 'roadmap for Pubg' indicated they'd be working to region-lock servers in the not-too-distant future. If you have a friend who plays on different geographical servers, you can still join their party and play on their servers, but if it's just you, you won't have the option to choose, as far as I know.

I just want them to fix the blood splatters. If I see a blood splatter, make it 100% correlate with me actually hitting that person. Bothers the poo poo out of me. Parachute damage used to bother the poo poo out of me, but they fixed that.

Just FYI if you pick up a flare gun make sure that you pick up the ammo or else you're going to be running around with a useless gun while people try and gank you. If you don't at least you'll get to laugh when someone loots your body and then begins to run around and look for the ammo while people try to gank them

Unreal 4 engine which PUBG uses just outputs whichever format the audio endpoint asks for, it does support 7.1 so if your headphones report themselves as 7.1 you'll get all the surround channels.

According to some YouTube videos the default stereo setting uses a speaker panning law, which is allegedly why it's hard to pinpoint where sounds are coming from if they're not in front of you. Supposedly switching to 7.1 with a good HRTF function helps a lot.

alternately: grab the gun, leave the ammo, and run like gently caress in a car, preferably while doing the Serious Sam headless kamikaze scream in all chat

Thanks for the Info, I'll double-check my sound settings, but they should be set for headphones/stereo since I don't have speakers and I am pretty loving sure I set everything to stereo/headphones to begin with.

Also the uzi is a loving beast, just cuts dudes down so fast in the early game, I regularly beat out guys with M4s because it just dumps a clip so quickly.

Yeah, since I've been dropping into more contested areas getting an uzi pretty much guarantees me 2-3 kills and I'll generally make it out alive. I still like the shotguns and they can definitely knock people out quickly but the uzi is nasty.

Shotguns in this game drive me nuts and yes the UZI is undervalued. It's not the best SMG but it's often the one you will get in early game and I'd take it over any shotgun in a game with this netcode.

"any smg" + "any AR with optics" is what I want each game. I have more specific desires within that category but if I can manage that I'm happy. But I'm opposed to having primaries share ammo for less than logical reasons.

Primaries sharing ammo sucks until you get a few kills (or a lot of looting) under your belt, by then you'll likely have more ammo than you need, but in the first 5-10 minutes of the game ammo is premium and unless you get lucky with 10 boxes of 5.56, you're going to be at 1 maybe 2 magazines full, which is not a lot if you run into a few fights without being able to grab more.

Appoda

Uzi has pretty much no climb in single fire, too; totally serviceable in the early game for "sniping" other looters who are out of position.

S12K is a real beast for anything under 40m, especially if you can spare a mag upgrade for it. The shorter range and lower damage doesn't matter when you can put 5-8 shells out in a second. Doesn't matter much if you gently caress up one of your shots, too.

Jack B Nimble

Soiled Meat
One thing I really love about this game, and something that I don't see mattering in most others, is you can play quite differently based on your ammo reserve. 30 rounds of 5.56 can take you through an entire fight with judicious use of single shots, or you can spend it in a few moments of sustained fire or even just speculative or suppressing fire.

So I almost never play solo, if I'm by myself I play 1 person squad. However, I tried some solo last night and the sniping end game seemed a lot more common and also unforgiving. Why would that be? Just less eyes and no knocks?

Also I'm eating crow regarding my dismissal of SRs; a m16a4 with a 4x feels pretty drat inadequate against a crate SR.

It sounds like a lot of you guys prefer playing 1 man squad rather than solo. Am I missing something, or does that make just everything way harder? I'm terrible enough as it is in solo, no need for facing several enemies alone.

I prefer it mainly because I seem to get in more firefights and other players appear to be more aggressive. Playing just solo means I'm usually sniped rather than engaged in a battle. Even if it's poor odds for me I still have more fun because at least I'm playing spoiler.

Even joining randoms in squads is more fun than solo for me because if they suck I can just mute them and follow them around. If they're not bad there's a guarantee I'll at least get in an interesting firefight.

For me it's that I believe the other players act differently in the game modes; I'd rather practice facing an enemy squad than sink my solo play time into what I do think is a very different game mode.

For what it's worth when I do play solo the early and mid game feel like a breeze because I only have to deal with 1 v 1 encounters but I'm clearly lacking the subtleties of the solo end game, I get shot a lot from people I don't see and I think I've been relying on my squad to find people.

Oddly when I 1-squad and get to the top 10 it feels easier to see and not be seen, I guess just because the numbers are on your side both ways.
