Dragging it to 100 in the game won't set it to 100. It'll be like 100.03 and still look like poo poo and gives you a small framerate hit. You need to type it in in the config files.

Where are these?

Also while I'm playing, sometimes when I open my inventory I get a 2-5 second freeze and goddamn does that suck when I've dropped on the same house as some other guy. Is there a fix for this?

Since the last patch, whenever I hit the opening splashscreen (with the line of people at the bottom, etc) it lasts 2-3 minutes rather than 2-3 seconds like it used to. Just 'Connected, waiting for server...' while my team yells at me to ready up and/or I want to get back into the game to Super Meat Boy myself again. Any idea what the deal is?

I wish there were at least SOME after-action reports at the end of the game. I love seeing data like that, like "here's the trail you took to the end of the game, where your kills were, the ranges, what damage you took/dealt, distance traveled by foot/vehicle that round (your numbers, average all players, highest/lowest), which weapons scored the most kills that round..."

If I had my way you'd have 10 pages of data you could leaf through at your leisure, but I wish there was at least something.

Used to be/still is a trick, if you hit max fall speed and let off W just as you cross the white line, then jam back on it a second later, you will drop farther.

All you have to do is have ~0 horizontal velocity and you get a hard drop (your chute opens but you decelerate much slower, so you get lower faster). Combine with spiraling in after a few seconds (holding W+(A||D) once you hit ~70kph) for fastest ground approach.

Recently had a game where someone lands near me, we both run into a nearby house. No weapons. I decide to run to another house for weapons, she decides to run me down and punch me to death. I run into a building and tightly round corners to lose her and get an uzi; as soon as I turn back to face her it's a cartoonish about-face running chase, complete with running straight past some rando third party who misses three shotgun bursts and gets the heck uzi'd outta him (along with my chase-ee)

Later I hear someone coming, and hide by a stone wall. I prep to fire just as they clear the wall, and... I get to hear them botch the jump four times in a row.

Does jumping and hitting in the face do more damage then a regular punch?

It's like 80 damage with a flying iron fist to the face, any followup (or prior) hit will finish them off. I took 99% damage from one guy's S12K before landing an iron fist once :getin:

In Shadowplay menu make sure Highlight is set to "on" (Alt+Z - Options - Highlights)
Then in PUBG go to the menu and set Highlights to "on".
When you enter a lobby for the first time after both of these are on a prompt comes up asking if you want to use the highlight feature.

Didn't know there was also a setting in-game, went through the overlay twenty times. But it's greyed out! Why? :saddowns:
Only thing I could think would cause that is 'incompatible video card' but I have a GTX 970 sooooo :(

Hm good point I guess it would be hard to both positively influence generating kills and still have the "winner take all."

Have the scaling kill reward with a flat 100 point Dinner award. It would be hard but insurmountable to pass with kill points, and over 3-5 rounds the kills add up.

Edit: with a 1 point per 2% of game survived (Dinner being automatic +50)

How about this?
gently caress the points system. A win means you win, but you need a tiebreaker. So if there are 3 rounds, 2 wins is automatic. If you have 3 winners, then use kills as a tiebreaker. That would mean when someone wins round one, that person will become very aggressive to get kills. After round two you will have 2 people being very aggressive for kills in the 3rd round. If you don't get any kills in the first two rounds, you might not be able to beat the winner of round one or two because you weren't aggressive enough. The ramifications are people will take some chances to at least get some kills, but I'm still playing to win.....

okay so game 1 has 0 aggressive players not hiding in the ocean, game 2 has one aggressive player...

I'd like to see Binoculars added in 8x/12x/15x flavors (bonus 6x w/rangefinder), and Directional Microphone (fits in pistol slot) with 100m base range with 200m/300m/400m range addon dishes laying around, and maybe a Spike Strip you can throw across roads (main weapon slot); more tools and support things in general.

I'd also like to see more useless/borderline weapons just to fill out the roster and make for good kill videos, like Sock Full Of Nickels and M1915 CSRG

Is a tactical reload one where you reload before the magazine is empty? Does that change the speed of the reload? I'm not familiar with this concept.

Correct, most weapons need extra time to chamber the first round, like drawing the slide on a pistol or the first pump of the shotgun. Tactical reloads don't have that extra timer.

Well I played my first few games. The very first game I ran into a house a few seconds after touching ground and a guy shot me dead with a shotgun. I actually made it to nr.6 on my 2nd game, mostly because i never encountered any of the other players lol. I shot a guy with an uzi at the end and got gunned down by another guy behind me

I don't really know which guns are good/better than others so when i find cool gear I don't always know if I should switch it out

Also is there a way to vault over fences/tiny walls and poo poo? I can't get over so many fences in this game :negative:

My advice on getting used to the weapons: use and kit out the first things you find, and have an AR-- don't switch things in and out. Eventually you'll learn what weapons you like and can use reliably. Literally every weapon can kill a person in under a second (and most can kill within the 200ms human reaction time) so ease and comfort of use is paramount to DPS.

Vaulting is coming in the 1.0 patch tonight (or is on the test server right now)

Melee is terrible in this game, only try it when you absolutely, positively need to.

The exception is the pan, which not only does more damage than the rest but also provides you with indestructible butt armor.

Melee weapons swing slower than Punch, and don't get the jump bonus Punch does, and a Jump-Headpunch deals 90 damage, enough that any followup slap will kill.
