PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

Christ, this hit 1.5m peak users yesterday.

I'm not surprised one bit , I've played games for years and have got bored very quickly with them but not with PUGB , I think I am addicted to it.... In fact I think its safe to say I am ! everyday after work for the past 3 months I play from 6pm until midnight ! can't help myself... I even think about it at work lol....

The funny thing is when you win games its so so short lived ! Its like well done lads great game , right lets get on with another game and win again ! its really weird that I get excited every time i find a level 3 helmet or chest and when I get a silencer for my AR attachment I'm even more excited ! ha..... Its pretty dam sad I know but I am pretty sure everyone who plays this feels the same....

The game does come down to a lot of luck early game but end to mid game comes down to skill level...


I've recorded all my game pretty much on shadow play and watched them all last night and lets just say I lived them exciting moments all over again..... I use to get sad and angry when i died but now i just except it and try again.... I still find it amusing to think that everytime i kill someone I'm like a kid in a sweetie shop and get really excited and proud with myself.... I even scream down my mic from time to time to the person I've killed Screaming : " Stay down B*** " what is wrong with me ha.


Most of all thou I love the O/C Discord Community. So many people from different backgrounds playing its never a bore playing a game.... Some average skilled players some brilliant , it doesn't matter its always fun and interesting , even some of the guys huff and puff down the mic because someone didnt kill someone they probably would have.....

The main thing about this game is its very addictive and the people you play with is whats made this game so enjoyable too me & I don't plan to play any other games anytime soon , ! Bring on the Desert map and the vaulting over walls...

I'm not surprised either tbh, it's a game that appeals to players of all skill sets and due to the RNG element, the "best" players are not always going to win.

I'm not a pro gamer, i'm not a particularly bad gamer either and the appeal for this for me is that I know I could win any game. Also no two games ever play out the same.

I'm having most fun playing back on solo lately since FPP servers, especially those fog maps :D

I just love the feeling you get when you spot someone and they don't spot you ! I followed one guy a few weeks back in to two towns and then hid in the grass and waited like a lion waiting for its final meal and then Boom ! shot the guy in the back of the head... it felt amazing ha.
 
I hate this game. Hadn't had a win for ages. Feel I'm not improving. Very frustrated. Thinking of looking for another game to sink some hours into. Then this:

DFF3D18CEAB610FE663FB8C784AD38E19685A5D5


Sure it was only 2 kills but I dropped into Ferry Pier (alone surprisingly) and had to do a good bit of swimming to emerge from the waves and clean up the last 2 guys with an SKS without even hitting the beach.

And hooked again. Damn you PUBG. Damn you.
 
CHICKEN DINNER LADS!

Got my two kills in the last stand, grenade killed one guy I downed, saw his body fly out of the tree. LOL

I throw like 6 smokes in this deadzone for our team to get passed, but the death circle caught me and downed me, mate was busy trying to revive me but was under fire, so I told him forgot me and fight!

And he finished the last guy off. :D

I love this game. I don't care for solo play, did it once or twice, but squad is the most fun. I been looking for a new game since I got bored fo Planetside 2 and this is fitting the bill nicely. :D

Had my first bug too, I couldn't equip my grenade, so I had to drop them all and pick it up again.

I found PUBG much better since my gaming setup overhaul.

Previously playing 1080p at low settings and was still not smooth (2500k and R9 290).

Now playing at 1440p at all high settings and a solid/steady 75-100fps and its a huge difference. I see enemies further and clearer and the framerate boost has made aiming/spraying so much better. I can get full auto spray control kills now on moving targets which was impossible previously!
 
I don't get it my 1080ti is only getting between 30-90 fps :(. Surely my 3930k is causing that much problems?

What res and settings? Are you typically multitasking as well e.g. second screen for youtube etc?

Edit: As my post above i have a 7700k @stock and a GTX1070 and playing at 1440p all high and never drop below 70fps, average of 75-85 and 90-100 when out in low object density areas e.g. fields.

Any chance you can explain what you did? I have a 4690K and a R9 280 and I'm only getting 40fps at 1080p with everything set to low :(. My cpu is better than the 2500k, but my R9 280 is not quite as good as the 290. Is it just that?
I have a 2nd screen but only have Discord running.

1440p ultra textures/distance and everything else on very low(Increasing them doesn't seem to help). Second screen has obs (doesn't hit performance much) and third screen has Discord (using software acceleration).

In lobby if I look at the sea I get 144fps (maxed out cap) I look at everyone I drop to 30s. In plane I get ~34fps, skydiving ~40fps and landing in apartments I'm at 54. Rest of the time I'm at 90 in open fields.

I have noticed my GPU will randomly drop to 30% usage then spool back up.

I'll try turning off one of my screens see if that helps. Would be surprised if a static screen is causing such a disparity in fps.

He's referring to what he can get with his beasty machine, not the 290 one

I did a whole new system (see my signature for specs).

GPU is quite important. The GTX1070 i have now was a big upgrade over my R9 290 and i feel thats the biggest source of improvement.

Your cpu is not much behind my now 7700K but your 280 sorely needs an upgrade for this I feel: I would tell anyone to get a minimum of a 980/1060 (no idea how modern AMD fairs but I think it does go better with nvidia).
