I started playing this again for something I can do with my brother over the internet during quarantine and every time I start a game I crash like 10 seconds in. Google searching didn't make it seem like a common issue since all the results were from 2019 or earlier. Anyone else have that? :confused:

Also the game is laggy as hell compared to when I last played it, is that an issue for everyone?

I keep getting the urge to redownload this game and play it again for old times sake, but every time I check the ground to see how it's doing the hacker situation and game performance seems like it was worse than when I left. Does it feel at this point like the game's in terminal decline at this point, and is the hacker situation as intolerable as the community makes it sound?

Yeah. It's weird, when the game fist came out we would kill people and win regularly but these days we're getting just ripped to shreds by guys as soon as they peak. Some of the new weapons are fun and it's less of a commitment than a cs queue, but hell.

Because there were 3 million people playing it and a lot of them sucked. The people left are the ones who have been playing it for three years. They are all (mostly) good.

The LARPing mode was awesome as gently caress, roaming around as a Barbarian fully leveled out swinging around a big loving saw-sword, that being an almost unstoppable tank as a Paladin. Trying to get the correct arc as the Whhizzyrd with the flare gun was a total bitch.

Also they really need to reduce the rate of fire on all DMRs, fuckers rapid firing SLRs, Minis, and SKSes while being stupid accurate is absolute bullshit.

The lag/stuttering problems they introduced about three months ago made the game unplayable for me. Couple that with the release of Warzone and picking up a half dozen other games to kill time and I think I’m off PUBG for good.

They at least reverted the blood effects back to what it was since apparently it was massively loving up the game. I miss old snow Vikendi but not how laggy it would get with weather effects. They just need to make a Pubg 2 already.

Played a duo game on Miramar the other day. PC, EU.

At one point, my teammate gets knocked but is in solid cover, and it's a long range engagement with empty land and the edge of the circle behind us, so I figure it's safe to sprint over and rez him.

When I get ~10 yards from him, I see a player in the empty land behind us, that we had previously checked, coming from the complete opposite direction from the long-range engagement that has us pinned. I have to abort the rez and reposition to avoid getting murdered by this totally random flank, eventually both me and my teammate die.

Watch the replay later. The game had 74 bots out of 100 players. The guy behind us in no mans land just spawned there. Wasn't there before. Great.

Yeah, welcome to the current state of non-ranked PUBG. It's pretty dumb.

I've been trying to find these 80 bot games, but I've never been able to get into a game with more than ~20 bots in it.

I've been killed by a bot exactly once and it was that same scenario... FPP duos, my teammate is dead, there's about 12 players alive on the counter going into Phase 5. I'm on the edge of the circle in a longish range firefight with one other team and I know for 100% sure that my back to the edge of circle is clear. Then a bot spawns between me and the circle edge out of the ether while I'm behind cover in the middle of healing and one-shots me.

Otherwise my interactions with bots have been nothing but stupid ammo/med delivery and K/D boosters that add nothing to the game, but oh well.

Bots tend to spawn at least a minute or two at the start of the match, usually with a level one helmet, and level two vest and backpack I believe. Everything else they run and scrounge up.

It's strangely fascinating to watch on replays to see their behavior, they will streak towards the closest player but as soon as another player becomes the closest they run towards that player. Never driving anything it's always running, so by 5th circle you'll have at least two bots running into circle and really really gently caress up the whole flow of the game since in Duos or Squads they're always knocked even if they're by themselves. They don't spawn as teams.

This has been my experience as well. Hopped in again to laugh at bots and have maybe killed 5 in 20 some-odd games. Still just getting curb stomped by the people who never quit playing.

As one of the few cars only crews that competed with you (and I'm still proud of my number 2 worldwide for duo roadkills at one point), I appreciate all of your videos and wish they hadn't worked so hard to screw it up for all of us.

Is there some weird bug in this game where you can't fire your weapon?

Seems to be when I have a scoped weapon and a not scoped automatic. After switching from the close range to the SLR/scoped gun, I try to fire a bunch of shots in a row and nothing will happen. Either 1 shot will go off, then subsequent ones never fire, despite mouse clicking. Or maybe nothing will go off at all.

Which is very frustrating when you are shooting some guy and no bullets go bang bang.

Google shows a few other reports but I'm not sure how to consistently reproduced other than it seems to happen going from something in full auto to a scoped weapon/sniper.

I like that they added the new stuff to Miramar, I like the building reworks, and the interior lighting, but my god when the map is played at noon its like the whole thing is turned on Full Bright.

If you get a round at dusk it looks very pretty though. (Also its still the best map)

The ground on Miramar looks like it's now a lower res texture, and they removed a lot of the indestructible debris located in certain buildings. I know they hosed with shadows and lighting but it feels like they just lowered the quality of how some things looked to push up performance.

True, they don't one-tap (nor poo poo talk on comms), but you hear lots of stories about bots locking in and just lasering their rear end. Something like this:

chocoTaco said there's a known bug with LOD not switching to the close version of the ground which is why those textures look worse.
