PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

I'm just concerned it 'might' change the game style/dynamic.

Right now, vehicles are strictly functional and the whole point of the game is to win the Battle Royale.
The more things like this, the more people will start to set up trick jumps, have races etc.

Might work, might be something for test servers, might just be a fun and useful addition to the core game.
Just wonder how much things like this will affect the core gameplay, which is currently head and shoulders above anything else I've played in quite some time.

Don't think it will change it at all to be honest. I imagine the only people who will be 'freestyling' will be the streamers and the morons. The streamers will tire of it and the morons will just die quicker than they already do.

I was just thinking the same thing watching the flip video.

I just outright ignore the bikes unless it's a dying outside the zone type of moment.

yea the terrain is too 'glitchy' really for bikes unless it's life or death.

even driving the cars/jeeps/buggy, I've been flipped into the air randomly when driving through corn fields - that's always fun but at least in the cars you'll walk away with a bit of a health hit, bikes you're just dead! died in 12th position carrying a silenced sks & 8x scope thanks to a damn motorbike flip, cut the corner of a road racing to the safe zone and the bike just 360'd in the air. :(

What settings is everyone playing on right now?

I still keep trying to find a good compromise. :/

What rig do you have?

I've only got a 7970 and 3930k but everything is on high except for shadows and I average 45fps except in certain cities where I can drop to around 20fps.
 
Players,


Before we delve into the patch notes for our second monthly patch, I first want to thank everyone for their amazing generosity at our Charity Invitational a few weeks ago. With the help of 128 fantastic streamers from Europe and North America and the amazing twitch community, we raised a total of $223,357.00 for Gamers Outreach! Thank you all once again for helping the kids in a truly tremendous fashion! GG WP


Next another quick word about server performance. I have seen a lot of speculation about the cause of the lag some of you experience. One of the more popular theories is that we run our games on potato quality servers. I would like to put this theory to bed by telling you our servers run on the highest spec machines that AWS offer.


We are currently in the middle of profiling the servers to attempt to track down the cause of the lag, but as I have said before, this will take us time to complete, so I ask for your patience while we work to improve server performance for all players.


While next monthly update will be focused on improving server performance, the optimisation process won't stop there, and we will continue to improve performance of the servers all the way through Early Access.


Now onto what we have change, fixed and added in this, our second monthly update!


We will first roll this patch out to the Test Server tomorrow, Wednesday. No ETA for when this will happen yet, so stay tuned to our Twitter for updates!


This patch will be deployed to the Stable Servers on Thursday, May 25, 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to complete.

PLAYERUNKNOWN
 
I play @1440p Settings all very low apart from Foliage, Draw distance and textures all on Ultra My FPS is always in the 40/50fps and some parts above 60fps... More than playable
 
•Fixed an issue where the players alive count would reduce when a player disconnected. Now the count will only go down upon the players death.

I dont get that, dont make sence, if a player leaves/disconnect, course you want the our player alive count to go down, because if he has left he is dead surely, so what does this mean "count will only go down upon the players death." ?

Does it not just mean that rather than immediately reducing the players alive count and the d/c'd person still being in the game, the count will now only go down when they get killed?

That's how I read it.

A lot of games seem to start at 97 or less players these days. I believe this is keep the 3 players on the board until they die.

Not really sure why it matters though. You still get a kill if people have disconnected even if they aren't on the count.

They need to add the ability to reconnect.

This ability would be fairly useless as you'd have to get your net back up and running within 60-90-120 seconds before the next wall moves in, and if it does you could reconnect behind the wall and die anyway. Among other complaints.
 
Not useless at all. Sometimes the client crashes, only takes 30 seconds or so to get the game running and if in a squad your mates can cover you.
