I randomly booted up PUBG for the first time in many months a few nights ago, dropped into a Solo FPP match on Sanhok and I somehow snagged the win alongside 6 total kills.

I was baffled by the fact that I was able to pull this off after not touching a shooter for so long.

So now that I got a little taste of victory I went ahead and joined the discord posted on the last page and I hope to catch a few squad games with fellow goons and actually get back into the game without having to drop solo all the time.

Looking forward to chasing that same high for the next few months and never actually getting it again!

Those of us with not top of the line hardware, gtx 1060, how's the new map as far as performance? Have there been any noticable optimizing on Vikendi or Miramar?

It was funny because I got to that compound about 0.5 seconds before she (might) have heard me, the clicky keyboard may have given me another second.... pure circle luck. Amazing to find a non-salt streamer though.

Big announcement for OC boys

OC servers have, after loving nearly a year, finally been fixed. Last night we did squads, duos, and a couple of solos (all fpp), and experienced <1m queue times, full games, and all on OC servers.

Jump back in for the boys.

Most I got was 50 players on FPS Solo in OC. Was around 30 by 9pm. Waiting time was around 4 to 5 minutes, but some were as low as 2.

Been waiting 5 minutes so far as now, went to switch to AS when it offered and it seems broke as it too failed to connect after 4 minutes. Trying again.

Somethings not right somewhere.

How is population a Bluehole problem?

The servers aren't broken. The player base just isn't large enough in that specific region to get games going on a consistent basis.

TPP/FPP --> Solo/Duo/Squad --> MAP ---> Need 100 people.

That's a lot of variables that people want to play, in a small region. You can obviously reduce this by removing modes and removing map selection and such, but you still need a large base to start populating servers. They could also push the OCE region into other region servers... but then... ping issues. The servers aren't broken.

NA servers at non prime times still horrible queue times for certain modes.

The game is alive and well imo. I can get home every night from work and hop on any mode I want. On the weekends I can hop on any mode I want (other than early morning).

But the game takes a large population to run, and if the servers aren't getting that large population, the queue times will be bad.

naw the OCE servers were actual broke where even if a bunch of people queued up at once they wouldn't function, then people just stopped trying so the servers stayed permabroke.

I'm looking forward to when the random map rotation excludes Sanhok, and they desperately need more optimization on Vikendi especially daytime with the persistent snow particles. Always get massive frame drops on that map in the daytime.

edit: the streamer himself also accused me of using radar hacks. The thing was is that it wasn't even that spectacular of a kill.

Replays are still bad for showing anything but positioning and/or health (which you can just spectate right away for health).

My ping was ~35-40ms.

Vert + comp on M416 + crouching when spraying has hardly any recoil. Crouching being the key. A lot of players don't crouch when they spray and are doing a disservice to themselves.

Oh do you mean my aim snapped to him? I don't know. Like the other guy said replays are bad with that. My stats would be better if I was aimbotting, I assure you: https://pubg.op.gg/user/Mortsy

Weirdest loving poo poo happened just now, two motorcycles one two seater and one three seater just loving burst into literal flames tires popped the works. Anyone else have this happen to them? It was at the set of houses just east of George containers in the garage with the second floor.

Edit: I'm spectating my duos partner and we both think this poo poo is happening to the entire map. Every vehicle he comes across tires popped.

Edit2: No firing on any vehicle, BUT proximity to the George mountain may have been some weird rear end glitch. Happened to every vehicle around it.

I've seen a lot of very weird bugs since the Erangel revamp. Going prone sent my partner flying about 15 feet straight into the air. Vehicles flipping for no reason while driving on a straight road. A lot of weird sound glitches - oddly quiet and loud footsteps for a given range is the only one that I've noticed that impacted gameplay. At least one smoke that just never went off.

2 seat motorcycles endo much much easier now it seems. Used to not be too much of an issue but now they feel like a liability offroad.

Last night I buzzed past a group firing on me, endo'd it, bailed midair and took about 2/3 damage. Run back to the bike that is slowly tumbling sideways downhill, furiously hit F before I get shot. Bike somehow just kills me

Yes but I believe the lean corrections are much more sensitive now too which sort of cancels it out?

I do agree though that taking damage while trying to pick the bike back up is bullshit. Happens to me often.

I'm having a situation where the game basically takes 45-60 seconds to start trying to load the lobby in between rounds, I've moved the install directory, I've uninstalled/reinstalled and done some other poo poo to try and get it to stop, but nothing's taken. Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Soarer posted:

I have this exact same issue. The time varies for me. Sometimes it really just hangs. Once it hits the "initializing" phase it snaps right to lobby like it used to. Very annoying and I seem to be the only one in my play group that suffers from it.

Trying to fix the game and reinstalling did not help the situation.

After spending entirely way too much time on this bullshit, I have learned it's 100% a bluehole problem that they hosed up in June and haven't managed to address yet since. Essentially for some lucky people (there is no particular consistency with who gets it or why), there's a problem because your game client sends the "Hey I hit ready" signal back to their servers less often than it did prior to an update in June and as a result their shitass lobby server asks once or something and if they miss the window to connect, then a timeout occurs (for unknown reasons, there's all sorts of high end connections/builds having this happen) and it isn't ever connecting the two as being "Hey we're all ready let's go to the lobby of the dolls and look at our missions" now like it did before.

Happening to all sorts of ISP's/routers/modems, connection speeds, computer builds (including AMD, ruling out the nvidia highlights theory), and there's a few stickied threads + a bunch of new/non-stickied's on their support forums now with new posts happening more frequently over the last 2-3 weeks, including many posts today/the last 12 hours as it occurs to more people for no reason.

Some people think you might be able to force an external IP reset to fix it, I haven't tried that yet.

But running the game through a VPN (to my stupid office, lol) fixes it - I think. Not sure how playable the game will be on the VPN until I try in an hour or so.

A guy 'splains this theory more in-depth close to the bottom on page 5 of this thread - where he's doing Bluehole's work for them while they sit there quietly, apparently:
