The pre-order price is meat to be the same price so £25.

What kills performance in this game then? Any must do tweaks to get higher FPS? I just have everything on high atm

Also, anyone getting weird graphical glitches? See the bottom left on the floor

Games performance I needed to run at 1080p they not got into the full Optimisation stages of the game yet until the content is in there that they happy with. Shadow glitch I have read people needed to turn down shadows to fix this.

Your gash GPU...

Nothing to do with AMD or Nvidia here man, I been following all the talk from devs about this game, even have friends with better GPUs than me with Frame rate issues!!

The game and its Engine Unreal 4 are still going through stages of Optimisation, We wont get full Optimisation pass until the game in couple months old into EA

The best way to play this game at this moment is 1080p I have everything on Ultra apart from Effects medium and shadows low

Absolutely positive that they have reduced the number of weapons, thats 6 matches now and not found anything better than a shotgun and in most of those matches only found a pistol.

It did need reducing a little but feels like they have reduced it a bit too much as the guy who gets an assault rifle has too much of an advantage now compared to last weekend. Will keep playing and see if it balances out, maybe I am just on a bad run of luck

TBH
I did have a good amount of games last weekend that I just seemed to get bad luck and only had pistol or shotgun, in the end me and my mate was just ambushing people for there loot

I am at 1080P, well 2560x1080 21.9 anyway.

Will try your settings later.

Just seems to be like all these other open world early access survival type of games i.e. gash optimisation for gash graphics.

Maybe they will fix/improve it at some point but lets just say with the history of these games, I won't be holding my breath!

Well my old joke that cost me £240 is matching your £500+ 980ti in hitman so!

I manage to stay around 50/60fps at my settings more then playable

My new strat when first spawn in, find someone first him to death lol The amount people that try and pick up a gun to reload before they know it have been knocked out

shankly1985 · 18 Mar 2017 at 13:09

Yeah game badly needs an FOV slider.

shankly1985 · 18 Mar 2017 at 14:55

Just tried them settings First run without Lobby area I ran away from all the people to try and rule out any players messing with the results.

I got 47fps on each setting

Nexus18 said:
What does "47 FPS on each setting" mean? As in every preset e.g. low, medium only gives you 47 fps?

Even with everything on very low, performance is still **** for me

That FOV mod I linked above is so much better!

No i tested my normal setting without them laucher options, I then tested them one by one and each result I seen no gain.
The Lobby area is hard to bench because people will always doing random stuff and that will effect the results but least in my test I was able to run across the map away from everyone to get my numbers.
Its always going to be hard to bench this type of game without some form offline mode.

This game is using Unreal Engine 4 Arma is a different Engine isn't it?
I not sure what version of Unreal 4 they using but I know that engine is still being updated with new version coming every couple months.. Squad being another game that is being made while the Engine is still getting updated. They have had to wait for Engine updates before they could improve that game.

Not an EA game is it? Bluehole are a Korean outfit that did Tera and some mobile garbage. Its on Steam not Origin.

I'm enjoying it as I said before, I cant get my FPS to display with Precision X but its doesn't seem too bad, not perfect but not too bad.
I seem to have a wall at around 20 people left where I just cant camp hard enough to win.

Needs some more options, monitor select in the graphics option is one that jumps to mind, FOV.

Stats say I haven't killed anyone, but I have so that needs some work.
This is an early access game i'll be happy to buy into and can have fun with where it is now, here's hoping it gets better going forward.

When looking at stats make sure you looking under the correct section, Sole, Due, Squad all have there own stats

shankly1985 · 19 Mar 2017 at 15:43

Am playing First person only at the moment, Sure you have a disadvantage but am finding the game so much more enjoyable I cant wait for FPS only Matches My highest game so far FPS only is 4th with 6 kills My only issue right now with FPS only is FOV wish I can change this its far to close to the player.

The maps may need a little redesigning for first person I reckon. For example, those little shed things dotted about the map which have the small windows all the way round them. Those are clearly designed to be able to look out of , which works perfectly in third person, but in first person the windows are too high and you cant see out of any of them

Yeah noticed that, guess they need to higher the player view model tbh because even some walls when crouched you cant shoot over them.

23rd is release for early access guys

Tombstone said:
I would say its better purely because the guy behind the BR mod now has it as his own fully fledged title, replete with all the development and continued expanding that a full title has over a mod.

And plus its now running on a Engine that can do this stuff well Unreal 4.
The Arma engine is very bad imo Desync for dayz

Got my key also this morning

Is hardcore mode still undated?

Odd that such a "feature" is not shipping.

I thought they said First person mode would be in for EA?

shankly1985 · 22 Mar 2017 at 14:52

Gimpymoo said:
My understand is, it is "optional".

There is no "First person" only mode.

Hopefully it isn't too long away then, this is how I want to play the game. FPS mode needs work though, FOV slider and camera height needs adjusting.

Gimpymoo said:
Does it seem it is geared more towards third person at present?

The Guy PlayerUnknown was on a talk show other day, Saying FPS only mode is coming and that he wants to bring back Battlegrounds game to its roots. He kept using Arma FPS has a reference.

ATM .. Playing in a server with Third person enabled give them players a big advantage in spotting you before you even see them.
