also I found a way to turn off the rain AND car(at least the buggy noise) noises for myself. It happens if I'm talking on the in-game mic and bring up my map at the same time. Poof, sounds gone.

I was killed yesterday by a silent running car. Was scoped in, tracking enemies in the distance, then my body was hurled forward and it said I was killed by vehicle.

I didn't know Erangel has Teslas on it.

One of my favorite funny things that regularly happens in the first minute drop scramble for a car is someone thinking they are being funny getting in the car after I've taken the drivers seat. Mothafucka I'm just gonna drive around honking until my teammate gets a gun and then serve you up for a warmup kill!

Yes, I had my Asus PG279Q (2560x1440) right next to my friends X34 (3440x1440) and he could see way more to the side edges of his screen than I could. I wonder if this will have to change if they want this game to be esports friendly? I don't think Overwatch lets ultrawide players gain an advantage like this.

I had this happen to me the other day. There was a Dacia and a UAZ driving around in solo, (possibly together? Though they were probably just avoiding getting out of their cars). I was crouched behind a tree because the jeep missed me as I just got to the tree. It then drove over a hill and I followed the sound to try shoot the guy, since he stopped... Only to have the Dacia silently run me over at full speed.

what?

punch drunk posted:

There are basically three possible outcomes with ultrawides in games like this:

1. Horizontal+: This is where the view gets wider and yes, an ultrawide monitor does provide an advantage.
2. Vertical-: This is where the view doesn't get any wider, instead it cuts off the top and bottom.
3. gently caress You: This is where the game refuses to run outside of approved aspect ratios.

The correct answer of course is #1 by default, with #2 as an optional server-side flag for competitive play and/or whiny babies. Devs who implement #3 or force #2 on all players should be chased with pitchforks.

We had the same poo poo happen when widescreens first became a thing too, I recall some of my friends bitching about I think BF1942 only supporting 4:3.

RE: 21:9 displays and their FOV, I made a custom resolution for my 16:9 1440p monitor in the GeForce control panel to give it a shot for shits and giggles. I played a round or two and went back to 16:9 but having that much extra information felt really good, especially when just watching a ridgeline or something.

The next monitor I get is probably going to be a 1440p 21:9, when they're not crazy expensive.

Is there not an option that keeps the aspect ratio and just doesn't use all the horizontal space?

Is it resolution or aspect ratio that gives you more horizontal sight? It's weird if it's aspect ratio - if that's the case, why can't I get the ultrawide horizontal fov just by scaling down my vertical resolution on my 16:10 monitor? What if you play in vertical mode, do you see further up?

Seeing things far away is probably more important in this game than seeing a lot around you all the time so that's not surprising. I left mine at 90 because it feels good.

I set a custom resolution in my nvidia control panel to 2560 x 1097 and just started playing the game in fullscreen, or fullscreen borderless (can't remember) and I could definitely see more on the horizontal, compared to the same FOV setting on 2560x1440. Of course I'm not using a ton of my screen, and things are rendered in less pixels so it's not as detailed, but it was fun to try. I can't imagine an ikaruga-mode would work though but it would be interesting to try it out, playing at 9:16 or something

I wish there were a practice mode to test stuff in. I wanna try doing like 2560 x 540 and seeing how big the fov is.

At what range should I be hipfiring? When should I a-d spamming while ads? Does my aim get perfect immediately if I release the movement keys/hold breath?

ADS as much as possible unless the guy just ran past you and is facing away. Also never ADS shotguns.

I find in the initial pistol fights it's better to hold rmb and hipfire than to try and aim down lovely pistol sights, unless you grabbed a red dot already.
