its not hard to find those items if you know where the good spawns are and dont waste time looting shacks, even then the gear doesnt mean much other than the helmet and armor
[QUOTE=OvB;52997851]Unrelated to the new update, me and my brothers ran into two guys who had the EXACT same kits. AK, k98, level 3 helmet/backpack, probably armor as well. They whooped our ass. Is it possible they were cheating or were they just extremely lucky to run into the same rare items?[/QUOTE]
The AKM and k98 aren't massively rare really I've had my whole squad run them before with more found on the ground. But they did get lucky to both have level 3 equipment. It's not impossible, just not a common sight.
Since 1.0 my framerate has been so much better. I'm even getting triple digits in some areas of Erangel I never dreamed of. But the rubber banding on EU is making this unplayable at times. The kill cam is a much appreciated feature, even if the replay isn't super accurate in the same way spectator is never quite right.

Yeah, if you drop well, you can find a lot of good loot too. I think I found 3-4 SKSes in a row in the military camp on Miramar at one point.
[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;52995850]I mean, if you played the test server, the "Release" is technically no different.[/QUOTE]
They seem to have changed the loading screen but I don't know if that was a last-day test server thing because I didn't play until past 1 AM when they released 1.0.

[QUOTE=Plaster;52997343]I mean the entire pubg community, mainly the one on steam. Over there it feels like thats the one and only game for them and all other games are trash.
I'm glad that the issues are being discussed here at all but still I personally expected better. Should've delayed it and added more stuff to make it worthy the 1.0 number.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure where you're looking. It took me 3-4 days to decide to spend the money on the game because the community and everyone else shits on it so hard.
I've been getting around 90-120 fps on the new map on my 1070, not all on highest though. It has gotten a lot better over the last month or so.
The rubber banding is insane though, the first minute of the game on the ground is just running the same 20 metres over and over. Hoping that's their main priority for the next update.
Also been playing a bit more of the xbone version. The differences in playstyle are still really interesting. On PC you can drop on school for some quick action, but again on console the controls don't really work for those close combat corridors so the building normally only gets 2-3 people drop there max. It ends up playing like a different game.

Didn't tests confirm Ram speed is the end all be all of how high your frames can go?

It does sound like the most recent updates to the XBox release have made the framerate much more tolerable. But the frame pacing is still fucked and the game has loads of weird hitches apparently.
I'm still not entirely sold on this as a console friendly game at all.

It should be, at least the engine allows for it.
It's just that the lab gorillas in charge of the port forgot the game was [I]already[/I] unoptimized for PC.

I feel so bad.
Microsoft's publishing department are making poor choices for the game
Like sure, the game can be released on console in their early access program
but like ads and even putting the game in retail isn't even something I would have greenlit
Can confirm the patch they put out for xbox today massively improved the framerate, stays at a solid 30 most of the time. It doesn't look pretty, but the gameplay is there, and thats all that matters in the end really.

Most people only tolerate that to a certain extent though
The only issues I can see are inconsistent shading of walls/houses depending how far away you are from them, causing some hiding situations to be completely moot.
And the environment textures look like a late ps2 game in places.

Don't forget some of the buildings still have z-fighting.

Not really noticed it, but that could be the shimmer from no AA is completely distracting me from it.
I haven't really read any reviews for the Xbox version, but one thing I haven't seen people talk about is the fact the analog stick is mapped to the keyboard controls. So you only have 8 directions you can walk in.

I am not good at console shooters, or using a controller like this in general, so this results in me stumbling around trying to correct myself all the time for wanting to do a tiny little movement to the left or right while walking.

Is movement speed based on how far you push the stick or is it all-or-nothing?
Replay mode can let you take cool pics. It's fun.

I think it has three zones, farthest being run, second being walk and third being the center dead zone.
Me and a buddy were camping the bridge in the new map. We saw a buggy coming over so we opened fire. Suddenly the buggy disappeared and we just sat there for like 8 seconds wondering what the fuck happened. Somehow it fell through the bridge and on to the buildings below it. What the hell.
And it wasn't like the bridge didn't load for them, they only fell through when we started shooting.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;53000265]the netcode is somehow even worse in 1.0
wow.[/QUOTE]
Some people hit me when I'm not there anymore, I leave but my hitbox's still there for ~1sec.
Feels extremely weird and unsatisfying, even if it's not killing me I feel like I have no chance to fight back.
Must be the chinese players with 500 ping?
pubg runs its servers at [B][I]17hz[/I][/B]
[QUOTE=lintz;53000369]pubg runs its servers at [B][I]17hz[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
17hz with dynamic update rate, and it can't be said if it is still 17hz since Battlenonsense did their testing back in October, assuming that is where you're quoting this from.
Chinese players in tbe European servers. Now i know how it feels to be a CSGO player.
[QUOTE=lintz;53000369]pubg runs its servers at [B][I]17hz[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
A few things to note:
1) this was found in October or so
2) This was the [I]peak[/I] rate, iirc. In the beginning third of the game, it dipped as low as [I]9[/I]
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;53000648]jesus fucking christ, people complained bf4 was 30[/QUOTE]
Didn't BF run at 10hz? It was atrocious
Just attempted 3 solo games. The first two I attempted, I ended up getting instantly killed after landing and the third resulted in a crash just before the parachute finished. Gave up after this.
Ayy, finally got a Solo Squad queue win!
