just installed and it gets stuck on the loading screen forever. Any idea how to fix it? I've already tried verifying the cache, doing this, playing with graphics settings and being patient.

e: might be a hardware issue, just had a similar issue with Magic Wand, a 25 mb game by the Goblet Grotto dude. See a lot of similar complaints though.

Is the dropped crate a physics prop? I got killed by someone ramming the other side of it with a buggy.

Yes, it is. You can even carry it away with a car or flip it using a grenade.

This game needs 2 things: a killcam so I can see what I did wrong and a bloodbath start where you all parachute at the same time.

Weird, I've spent quite a few bike's lives trying to land on boats at max speed and I haven't died once

Did you stay on the bike? I'm pretty sure if I didn't jump off it I'd be fine.

I was doing so abnormally well in solos I just had a minor brain malfunction and decided to just drive around in a UAV honking the horn until I got shot, despite just winning 2 crate fights and rolling with a m249 and level 3 armor. Came like 7th.

Today's adventures in solo pubg

1. landed in georgopol and got punched in the head by some guy at the start, leaving me with a sliver of health before I shoot him. the circle pops up in the southwest corner. I decide my gear's ok and there's no way I'll survive 10 seconds of blue, so I grab a boat and start sailing around the coast to get to the other side. I saw a crate drop in the middle of the ocean and run out of gas trying to reach it. For some reason I picked up a gas can so I refuel and search it, and there's a kar98 with no scope. The circle goes to milbase, I follow it and then lose a firefight to a guy with a scoped kar98

2. Ride a motorbike over a gradient, flip and die from full health

PUBG has the fundamentals down pat, even if it's full of long downtime between rounds, randomly exploding vehicles, a complete lack of tutorial or training stuff, no killcam or feedback and info, strange graphics optimisation, lack of maps, lag issues, a really racist player base, late game circle rng, interface issues, loot grabbing weirdness, loot drops in general being strange, that thing where people outheal the blue at endgame, the red zone, and some stuff I probably forgot. Even if a competitor deals with some of those it's going to have to do something better, or at least different than the basic gameplay loop, which is unlikely to happen unless some big studio puts a lot of effort behind something and does it quickly before PUBG starts getting closer to officially released.

It's a strange game to use an aimbot or whatever in since there's long periods of inaction and little room for farming angry responses. I see the appeal of a wallhack in for the start of solos where it's "look left, whup should have looked right, you died instantly" but COD or something must be better for that sort of thing.

It's something I work on but I keep loving dying whenever I transition into the mid-late game. I'm not patient enough and I keep pushing and I probably push the wrong places at the wrong times.

It's frustrating because practicing that part is hard because you have to actually get there:

In that case drop away from people and keep an eye on the blue and think about where people are going to come from. If you aren’t patient push for the most central building you can and go for crates.

I've seen Choco run around with one much later than that. I think while waiting for a sniper he will keep the shotty? Maybe he can chime in and explain why he likes it. I usually drop the shotty to go double AR

Choco’s crazy accurate enough that burst damage is way more reliable than it would be for you or me, so the shotty’s strengths are a bigger thing.

it's actually unplayable right now. Maybe it's just the mode, or our rank, or something?

Where do ya'll like to drop on the new map? My squad is looking for a "default" drop spot cuz we hate going somewhere new every match (we went Rozhok every time on the old map). So far we haven't found a place that's A) not super popular and B) has enough loot for a 4 man squad. Any thoughts?

I can't remember the exact name, but I've had a lot of success dropping in the south of Pecado or whatever it's called, and going through the 5 story apartment while people fight over the casino and big warehouse. It's a really central area with decent gear and cover, so you get a great opportunity to pick off or push on weakened squads at the hotspots. I prefer the variety but it works pretty well.
