PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS V2- Stream Honks - Games

When are the zone changes coming back

while we are on the topic of attachment balance, i think there should be some uncommon/rare attachment for pistols that make them more useful later in the game. or even something like a holster you pick up that replaces your utility belt but allows you to change to a pistol quicker.

I seriously cannot understand why they don't seem to know how to run a PTE, just keep the fucking server up all the time and rapidly iterate changes on it to see what works holy shit. It's not hard. It's considered unstable for a reason.

I'm on a 8600k/980TI and I hit the 144 cap frequently, rarely see under 100fps, only exceptions being when in dense cities where I might drop to 70-80~.

What did you change? having stable 60fps most of the time works fine but it still likes to freeze when opening the inventory or being hit which is complete bullshit

You've got the inventory character model disabled, right? I mean that won't help with the getting hit part but it should help with the inventory stuff.

I can already kinda say that I've tried half of those things, like disabling the model and increasing the clock speed, which on my i5 is 4.5ghz so there really shouldn't be a problem. What could be a bottleneck is my ram which only runs at 1600mhz or my gtx 660 but it can keep the 60fps somehow so I don't think it's that big of a problem for now. I'll try the launch settings tho, I've noticed it never uses over 6gb which is dumb as I have 16gb available.

None of those launch options will actually do anything, for what it's worth. -refresh 144 is for source, and is for forcing it to detect 144hz displays. -malloc=system is for ARMA engine, and I think that -maxMem=13000 is as well. -USEALLAVAILABLECORES shouldn't do anything. -sm4 has been disabled because it was deemed to give people an unfair advantage. You FPS gains are basically just from changing your settings to low and probably also the driver stuff. You can also safely set viewdistance to very low, it actually gives you an advantage with the tree LODs and player models always render to at least 1km anyway.

I still really want being able to dual wield same-pistols as a primary slot for a better chance at early game scrambles where you only handguns.

The game is weirdly I/O intensive so a quite harsh bump in RAM frequency and the CPU overclock might actually have helped more than you think. The difference in how the XBox One and the XBox One X load assets in is fairly telling as whilst they both suffer streaming issues a lot, the X appears to suffer them a lot less.

Wow having an 8 man squad of people you actually know is fun. Won 2 out of 3 rounds tonight.

fuck me cunts laying prone in the grass ruin the mobile version. its impossible to detect that they are there until its too late. the most annoying thing is that no one moves, they all just lay down in the fucking grass until they have to run.

So everyone plays the game the way it was designed, nothing wrong here

Microstutters on getting hit which makes fights unwinnable. welp, guess i'm done with this piece of shit game till they fix that, if ever at all.

spoiler alert: they won't. And I also won't buy new hardware just because a gamedev is too lazy to read a book on how to optimize their damn game. It doesn't help that RAM and GPUs are way too fuckin expensive to even be a choice. All around a total mess.

It's apparently a new anticheat update, so nothing important

3x and 6x scopes? Why? You can already zoom out with 8x Unless they fixed how shotguns behave, nerfing their damage will make them even more useless. More so with nerfed movement speed. Duckbill flattens the spread of pellets for more horizontal spread. Frag grenades are already pretty OP and the fact you can have 6 of them is even worse so I'm not sure what buffing their damage is supposed to do. Restricting Ext mags for SRs is eh considering that's the one attachment you really need for SKS to be worth your time.

New vehicle is a nice addition though, can't ever have enough vehicles.

The game concept itself is fun but the way the dev's did certain things made me really hate it. For example promising not to add cases during the early access, that didn't take long, or how they or whatever it was got mad at epic for doing fortnite which was scummy as fuck. Then there's the performance of the game that did not get better, in fact in my case it got even worse, China ruining it for everyone and them ignoring this situation saying we are racists, the list goes on. I could go on listing negatives with no end but that would suddenly make me a shitposter and hater of the game despite wanting it to be worth the fucking 30€ I've dropped into this PowerPoint presentation of a game.

The inconsistent fps is what I greatly dislike about the game, and its kinda obvious why it is like that, if you ever panned your camera fast around you'll notice mostly doors popping out of existence its like the whole thing is being rendered with a piece of strings. Rip SKS welcome our new SLR overlords.

SKS is still god tier until you get the SLR

I don't know what is more fun to spam fire with now out of the DMRs, the MK is comical but the SLR sounds like thunder when you do it.

so hows the new test patch? haven't had a chance to play it but the new scopes look rad. are the weapon damage changes noticeable?

from what ive seen, the damage changes aren't really, but the recoil and reload nerfs are the vector is pretty sick

M4 is still the best gun, possibly even better than before (relatively speaking) now that it aimpunches harder. The Scar is now slightly worse than before since it loses spray fights to even more guns now. M16 is about in the same place, so is AK. I'm not sure why they're going about balance by nerfing everything. In my opinion they should just undo the Mini/M16 nerfs and balance everything to that level. Maybe make them require the Uzi/Tac stock to get back their original stats. At least pistols actually do things now.

6,5 gb patch for PUBG Test servers, what are they even updating and why the fuck are EU servers not a regular thing?

WAIT WHAT??? You can't use 8x with M4 anymore? What the fuck, it was my favorite combination.

You can use the 6x instead though, which is just as good.

Is it normal to watch a guy aim at the ground during a replay, kill me with 2 shots and then look straight up at the sky?
