Just got the game like everyone else on the planet seems to be doing and just got a couple questions.

Is there a easy way to identify what direction I'm being shot at or where the boolets might be coming from?

Are there any tweaks to a .ini file or something to improve performance and/or gameplay, can't seem to go above 1 FPS above very low on everything and sometimes scopes can lag for a second, my computer is old but not that old.

Wanna see a dude own three of us with a cross bow and then my friend get triggered and stop being my friend for two weeks? This is a regular thing with our "toxic" bro. I wish I would've just responded with "ehhh I don't think I'm gonna make the LAN dude" since that would've been funnier than just trying to bite my tongue. e; video is from another friend's perspective, not the screamer.

Also, my buddy posted it on a reddit thread which featured tons of comments like :

Why do you play video games with that guy? legit question.

"friend gets hit by crossbow in the exact same manner he did" WHAT THE gently caress IS WRONG WITH YOU HOW CAN YOU NOT DODGE THAT.

That was literally just 30 seconds into a match, how toxic does he get if he actually invested time into a round?

I'd just be happy if starting out you were given more then 2 choices of similar clothing, let the whales spend 500$ to get their matrix coats and boots with 2 buckles instead of 1.

This game could use a button to mute every mic on the plane and then unmute when you get off.

Why are crossbow bolts reloaded with the same speed as if they were made of a volatile explosive? takes ages to reload every shot.

I mean, if a guy wants to play the game using a guitar hero controller, good on him, but I'd probably not want him on my team.

The speedhacker I reported is still playing :(

That is the only instance of cheating I've ever come across in this game though

Yesterday my entire group was downed by full auto headshots from a single guy the instant anyone had line of sight of him, one getting headshot by a kar98 while the guy was in the middle of the changing weapons animation, was the first instance of someone using a aimbot I saw in the game.

Also keep in mind with everyone wearing bullet proof vests, them legs aren't protected, go for the crotch shots.

To fix the afk problem, remove the free participation rewards, double the rewards for surviving and killing.

AKM seems a decent long range assault rifle when you don't have access to a SKS.

I'm worried less about the obvious cheaters who run at warp speed and instant headshot anything that pops into view distance, more worried about the cheaters who know how to keep it on the downlow and not too obvious.

Have the Pubg guys ever mentioned if they wanted to have grass render at longer distances? until the circle closes in enough that the grass always renders your always at risk of someone seeing you laying prone in plain sight and sniping you.

But if you are doing it in singleplayer, you aren't making other people angry, that's largely the point.

A month or two ago my squad of friends all got aimbot full-auto headshot by a akm or uzi from 200+ meters away, you were visible to him and zap you dead, we were doing pretty good too.

Little makes you feel like quite the master trapper then just dropping a firstaid kit in the middle of a house and then sitting in a corner until someone comes around.

M4 has a extra attachment slot, Scar has high fire rate with less damage per boolet, so M4 makes a better assault-turned sniper while the scar is for spraying full auto.

I assume some of the perception of chinese cheating more also come from stories like this
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/10132391/Riot-after-Chinese-teachers-try-to-stop-pupils-cheating.html

https://qz.com/96793/chinese-students-and-their-parents-fight-for-the-right-to-cheat/

quote:

The rift amounted to this: Metal detectors had been installed in schools to route out students carrying hearing or transmitting devices. More invigilators were hired to monitor the college entrance exam and patrol campus for people transmitting answers to students. Female students were patted down. In response, angry parents and students championed their right to cheat. Not cheating, they said, would put them at a disadvantage in a country where student cheating has become standard practice. “We want fairness. There is no fairness if you do not let us cheat,” they chanted.

Anything that can be done to stop fps dropping when in a firefight?

On a somewhat old at this point computer with 8 gb ram and a GTX 660, runs the game at 40-45 fps on very low everything but once I get shot at the fps drops to 15-25 and that little second or two long slide-show means it's hard to win a close up fight.

Maybe the next patch will help with the fps issues?

Processor? Bumping a few graphics settings up may take some load off of your CPU, it's worth a try.

intel core i5-4670 quad core 3.4 ghz, it's probably showing it's age by this point, but handles every other game on high or medium.

And before I fill up the thread with more hardware talk, would a 8 GB ram to 16 GB ram change improve much of anything?

The first red zone I was ever in the open for in this game was on top of the mountain below georgopol, was hunting down someone on the mountain and a second after I kill the guy the first bomb to drop is right on my head.

Gotta say, getting aimbot sniped from across the map by a guy with a chinese name with numbers at the end sorta kills my drive to play.

I feel like you guys underestimate the value of a silenced pistol for taking out someone who didn't notice you without alerting everyone nearby where you are and immediately getting shot at by everyone you didn't notice in earshot.

Here is a question, if your view distance is set to very low you won't see trees in the distance but will see players, so my question is if you see a player on a mountain that should have trees on it and you start shooting him from across the map will your bullets ignore the trees that aren't rendering on your end or will they hit invisible trees?

Another part of it might just be not knowing -where- the loot will spawn in the new buildings, after enough hours on the first map you know exactly which spots in a house can have something spawn at it, your not used to the new buildings.

and add a late game shotgun that doesn't suck so there's more variety.


Excuse me, but you'll find that all of the shotguns are lategame shotguns when the circle is small enough and in fact do not suck.

Just take your papa to unnamed groups of houses to start, better to get some basics instead of a mad scramble to pick up a gun first and try to just laugh off any deaths.

Gonna guess between beta and release they haven't done much to fix the inescapable holes around the map or floating objects or buildings that have no collision that you can just walk through?
