So right before my first solo win I went to this site:
http://www.144hzmonitors.com/games/best-settings-for-pubg-playerunknowns-battlegrounds/
And did all the things it said to do to improve my game except the ini stuff. My game was noticeably smoother and I really think that contributed to my win.

I just did this and it's really, really nice. I still can't shoot for poo poo, but at least I can see who I'm trying to shoot at.

Steam market is the best way to play murder barbie dress up. I sold two reward crate drops and it was enough to get everything I wanted since the PUBG market is cheap except for the $200 dollar trench coat.

Today I died on the bridge when a car rolled up on me and I lagged out after pulling my Tommy gun out and for some reason my character proned and put my gun away so I was hosed

Had an incredible squad dinner last night. We dropped in at the military docks, totally empty, only one squad seemed to drop in at the military base itself. We got geared up with all of us getting decent loot and two making out like total bandits with level 3 helmets, vests, backpacks and kar98s with scopes. The circle ends up centering so the bottom 1/4 of it is on the military island so we figure we'll camp the bridge leading back to the mainland.

We get to the western bridge, plenty of time on the zone, and go to setup at the cover in the middle. About halfway across the bridge we start getting shot at by the guys we were looking to gank. Almost immediately after that the red zone appears directly on top of us, so we've got a choice of either continuing up the bridge and out of the zone while getting murdered by the guys behind us, getting into cover and getting blown up by the red zone, or...jumping off the bridge into the water.

We all jumped, two of us reasonably hurt, and now we've gotta swim to the mainland under the bridge. We're still getting shot at in the water and just as we reach the beach we notice another squad on the mainland looking right at us from the cliffs both near the lighthouse and on the opposite side, on the cliff rocks. Naturally these guys start peppering us with bullets as well and we lose our first guy, but he takes out one of them up there before dying which gives us a little breathing space but at this stage we're totally hosed.

Meanwhile, the guys from the military base are yolo-ing it across the bridge in the red zone in a dacia, and as soon as they arrive a firefight breaks out between them and the other bridge camperoos. Me and a mate are stuck pretty much directly under the cliffs at the edge of the bridge, unable to move in any direction without getting shot at, but our other guy has managed to flank in the area made safe by our now-dead comrade (rip). He starts third-partying the engagement between the other two squads but while all this poo poo has happened the zone has compressed, real bad for us, so we decide to try and outswim the blue zone to the east as we can't follow our friend without being shot to pieces.

We enter the water and swim for about 3 minutes when the blue zone catches up to us, we both manage to JUST make it inside before dying and heal up. Then of course, it compresses again, so we're basically in a race against the zone IN THE WATER with numerous guys on the cliffs.

Finally, we get to land and have to make the climb up the rocks - as soon as we get to the top it's a literal open field, no cover except for some small rocks with several houses/barns around the edge. Our friend takes out two guys running in front of him and he's maybe 100m from meeting back up with us when he gets sniped and killed from a barn at the other end of the field with maybe 20 people left. So it's just me and a mate, we're running across the field trying to make it to a tree when he gets popped from a different squad behind a rock east across the field, they finish him immediately and start shooting at me.

I've got no cover, my friends are all now dead, and I know there's a squad in the barn up the way as as well as another one to the east, plus at least another couple of wildcards chillin somewhere so I do the only thing I can do - I prone up, bullets whizzing past and I can only assume the land was at a very slight incline because I should have been an easy kill. The barn guys are obviously shooting at another squad as they haven't seen me so I manage to make it to a lone, lovely tree.

Well, the zone starts moving in and the barn boys realize they gotta move, so they come out and I do the ol truffle shuffle around the tree to put it between me and them. As soon as I do this I get shot from behind, and they've also realized what I'm trying to do so they start putting shots on me from the front. I dunno if it was the CSGO I was playing last night or what it was but I flicked the barn boys so quickly I was able to kill both before (almost) getting killed by the guys behind me. I am screwed by the blue zone so my only hope is the last two remaining guys try to peek and shoot me, which they do, and I'm able to drop both of them.

There's no way we should have won that game, every possible thing went against us after we got to that bridge, but we still managed it.

I just played a match where I got to the center of the zone fairly early with good gear so was just camping the plateau outside of the ruins waiting for an adventure to come to me. I see a cargo plane flying *directly* at me in the distance and start going 'oh please oh please oh please' over and over. it drops the crate DIRECTLY over my head so I find a good bush to hide in and wait.

Total of four different players drove up in their jeeps & motorcycles. Each one after the first ignoring the corpses and other vehicles and blinded by greed. Once it seemed like the party was over I went ahead and opened the crate, getting myself an m249, tier-3 armor and an 8x scope for my ak.

Then just a few minutes later I got bloodthirsty and didn't notice there were less than 20 players and got lit up by snipers from 8 different directions. :downs:

Just won a chicken dinner on my 11th ever game, solo. 7 kills. Hiding a lot, a full auto MP5, and getting drat lucky with map placement did it.

The game is really fun, despite the bugs and the fact that movement feels like you're walking through peanut butter. Is it an optimization thing, or do Unreal Engine games usually feel like this?

Or maybe it's just me - does anyone else feel like the movement and shooting have some latency? I'm used to Source and iD games, so maybe it's just an engine thing.

It's partly an optimization thing, and partly a '100 players on a server' thing. The tick rate is also quite low. For me, the shooting holds up quite well even at higher latencies because most of it is at long ranges and relatively slow paced, and you're often leading your shots anyway due to bullet travel time. It's opening doors, picking up items and close range combat where the latency comes into effect.

The movement is mostly a design choice, I think. They don't want people whizzing around and bunnyhopping all over the place so everything is quite slow and weighty.

Hoooooly smokes.
I had a SCAR with a scope (that I couldn't use for some reason). I was running from the blue wall when I see another guy across the field running ahead of me.
I drop, aim and lead. Three shots, two hit and he's dead. Keep running and barely make it in time. My heart is racing.

Dodge a couple more people, kill one with a silenced pistol while he's checking inventory. Grab his motor bike and head to the new area. No one in sight. I point the bike away from where I'm headed, jump off and go tumbling to my death.

I think the combat is the worst at really long & really close ranges. Its really good at mediumish to close. If you're both inside / near a house its kind of hosed, but if you're like both in different houses shooting at each other its cool. For example I was in a house looking at the door outside while crouched near the door to the next room. A guy surprised me by opening the door to outside and i opened fire but he ducked to the side. I sprinted to the next room but then died from his UMP having never seen him or heard him shoot, I was like ???

I know its probably not likely, but I'd love DICE or some other AAA to take a stab at this genre. Its really great gameplay, just could do with a smoother experience.

You got stuck on the corpse. Run around or jump over it to get around this bug. Nothing to do with the game going to poo poo right at that moment. It's a consistent bug.
