So I have the weirdest issue with this game in that if I hold down any key my game stutters real bad. I kind of fixed this by turning off sticky keys (so holding down W in notepad will print 1W instead of continuing to print them)

However if I press my mouse button a bunch it also causes the stutter.

Does anyone else have this issue, or any ideas how to fix it?

I'm unironically impressed by how reliably he can get to second place without being killed, that's not trivial. No matter how cowardly you play you're bound to be seen by someone and that will force some confrontation. And super confused as to why there are games where he just dies early on. Makes me think that he needs to loot some basic healing stuff before he moves on to whatever MGS strategy he has.

It's super weird. The only logical explanation I can find is that he glitches and gets under the terrain and sometimes he dies trying to do that.


I'm assuming he just gets spotted on the way to his hiding place, or someone accidentally finds him in his hiding place.

Does this happen in other games? Does it happen in both fullscreen and windowed fullscreen? It sounds like your usb is messed up / faulting. Check windows event log. Move your mouse/kb to other USB ports. I've also seen weird interaction problems with bundled cables, if they're all bundled together but that seems much less likely.

smaller initial circle visible from airplane, triple armor spawn rate, sounds good actually. The twitter/steam comments are all super salty about miramar, I have not seen the mad gamer archetype this mad in a while.

I agree 100%. Part of what makes the game so fun is where you drop and that initial run to get to the circle. One of the most memorable games I ever had involved me dropping at the Observatory, the first circle appeared with Yasnaya in the middle. I grabbed a buggy and booked it across the map, I managed to grab 1 kill and an air drop on my way there. I camped Yasnaya for awhile and then made my way to the new center of the circle which was like North / North West of where I was. I found another Air Drop with a Ghilli suit in it and I managed to grab 3 kills with the Ghilli suit before dying at 3.

The one benefit is that will serve to funnel players into the initial area making shorter games, it will also give you the choice of dropping outside of the circle and running in or jump to the middle and fight.

I think it would be OK on Mirimar, because its too loving big. It doesn't make sense on the other two maps, especially Savage, though.

The new shotgun event mode is on Miramar and has a smaller circle and it shows pre-drop. Also it's all level three gear.

It really kind of seems like they're trying to push Miramar as the game's new "main" map. 2 out of the 3 event modes so far have been on it and the map rotation seems weighted heavily towards Miramar. I don't like it.

For a mode that is shotguns only, Miramar makes more sense to have it on since the terrain is more varied

CSGO develops all of the essential skills to get good at FPSes and its a very punishing game. Plus the skill ceiling is insane, I have a few thousand hours in CSGO and I still get poo poo on by dudes when I play ESEA.

I'd say the holy trinity of "learn the some FPS" is CS, Quake, and the UT instagib. All three have impossible skill ceilings and curves and require much better FPS fundamentals than anything else out there to prevent having your poo poo pushed in something fierce. Plus the communities have some really brutal players in them.

I'd say the Stalker series is a good trainer for pubg, as not only does it feature a few guns i've only ever seen in those games (vss, groza) it also features bullet travel/drop and a degree of broken jankiness that is essential to the pubg experience.

I feel like more often than not what actually happens in that situation is you spend an inordinate amount of time traveling. Especially if the next circle happens to also drop on the far side from your current position. Exacerbated even more if, vehicle-wise, you have bad luck and/or miss your chance.

Tangentially, what would be the gameplay effects of having a circle that was constantly closing but that you could always out-walk or maybe out-crouchrun?

When I played Stalker the VSS and it's close variant (forget what it was called) were my favorite guns in the game. Not so much in PUBG :(

It has all the skills, sure, but new players die so quickly that you spend 90% of your time on the killscreen. Playing like overwatch or something is a lot more practice/min than CSGO, at least at the start.

Really any FPS which is focused on just DM'ing and is also pretty fast is going to learn you to "click on mans while not getting clicked on" much better than dicking around. Largely because you are forced to always be clicking while always being clicked on.

I will always take the vss in pubg and it's served me well, especially once you learn how to use its rangefinder for long distance.

It's this keyboard https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017K1A64Q/

With a Logitech g500 mouse.

Keyboard is plug and play. Seems to only happen in this game and fortnight which I guess makes sense as they are both in ue.

I'll check out windows error log and try another keyboard to see if that's why.

What is that mouse default DPI setting? If it's something "OK" rip the logitech driver software out and then try it. Some games and setups are extremely finicky with drivers causing issues for no real reason, stripping the driver out should make it better. If that fails (and I'm assuming you've already tried nvidia driver reinstalls and game reinstalls) issue might be with the hardware, I'd swap out with spares and see if it still happens. "Borrow" a poo poo mouse and keyboard from work or buy from amazon to test and return right after.

Logitech, steelseries, razer, et all make great stuff but they do need drivers and this has been causing problems since forever.

Played this 3 times. The first two times no meds spawned, making it an exercise in trying to maintain cover (no gas spawned either so whatever you had in your truck was what you got). Third time tons and tons of meds spawned so a Los Leones drop became a real grind.

No attachments other than the shotgun loops spawned though, making it an extremely close in match. If chokes spawned you might be able to kill people from more than 3 feet out, as it was if you had a match with meds you just ran away from every fight because any shot barely chunked you. If AR suppressors or sights or compensators or extended mags spawned the Saiga might be worth taking.
