Was telling my brother how much I liked the coat (camel). Booted up the game to open up a couple crates after the reset and sure enough the first crate has the coat (camel) in it. Not sure what kind of crazy odds those are but I'm pretty happy with that.

What the goddamned shit man!!!!

I was in the middle of a shootout after I had just revived my friend and during the shooting the game just crashed.

When that kind of shit happens man, fuck this game!

Awesome thank you. And can you get in a new match relatively quickly? Like within 10 minutes or so?
If that is the case, I will be buying it tonight to start playing it tomorrow.
Thanks,
DL

Yeah, thankfully this game doesn't waste your time if you're out of the running. I'd say the total matchmaking time is less than a minute, including the plane flyover. As soon as you're killed, you hit B to drop out, then you can start up another match right away.

Played some solo rounds last night on my parents' TV. My mother--who's bought me so many games/consoles I can't even begin to count (or thank her enough)--was extremely into it, at least the first round.

And then I got headshotted by a SCAR-L. I was in the 20s?

Made it as high as top 5 and then decided to take this opportunity to get ultra aggressive and land at school. I'm going to start doing that more--changing it up to find conflict and get better at that aspect of the game.

A couple of games.

Shooting just feels off now compared to before, have they changed the default settings? If so what were they as I liked them and got on with them.

Did you reinstall the game at all? If so, Deadzone might be increased. Bring it down to 0. From there, mess with general settings, etc.

Had a blast with this today. I'm winning more 50 50s then I'm losing now. The trick was to lower the sensitivity. I had it quite high, but after the last update I lowered it to near default and I'm kicking ass.

Oh, and I've learned to never use prone unless I'm hiding. I lose 90% of the fights if I'm prone.

What are your settings?

Had a cheeky Christmas duo dinner this morning. First game we played, too.

It was me and my friend, and what turned out to be two teamless players. Lobbed a smoke grenade where I knew someone was hiding and they freaked out thinking it was a frag and stood up and gave themselves away to the other single player. My teammate got the cleanup kill for the win.

I was expecting a lot worse from the threads and stuff. Doesn't run terribly and once you're on ground, it looks a lot better, too. Not amazing but more than serviceable

The biggest problem is being kicked to dashboard and getting killed while trying to get back in.

I can deal with frame dips. Losing a match due to a dashboard crash just sucks. Also not getting BPs from those crashes also sucks.

Is there any way to report team killers? I was killed in three games yesterday just because people wanted my gear. Seriously annoying.

Second game lol. Framerate chugs on OG Xbone but still fun, I played about 100 hours on PC. I've played a fair bit since then, nobody uses a fucking mic on squad, it's super irritating. I prefer solo because of it.
Funny thing is I'm seeing the opposite. A lot of mics when playing with randoms.

For how ugly, janky and glitchy this game is I've played it more today (first day owning it) than Fortnite in the weeks I've had that.

My wife was watching me play once and I was in 7th place and even she was fucking nervous.

It's strangely thrilling and addicting haha

Man it's been crashing a lot though. My win rate dumped down to 15% because of it, really really fucking frustrating, not sure how I'm supposed to maintain good stats when every second or third game crashes, usually in the second half.

I mean nice stats are cool, but with the bugs and crashes I'm not putting too much effort or worry into it.

One of the things I like most about this game is there is no leveling up or starting difference between someone who's great and someone who sucks. I don't even know if you can see your friends stats.

Just makes for a fun game where I'm not worried with my KDR or anything and just play each round to try and have fun and do the best I can.

From 'quake area to big OH.
So pissed.
Had seven kills and everything is going swimmingly.

Then I get to the last ring, and I die on the edge with my marker inside. Almost tasted chicken.

Next game, jumping out of a car runs yourself over? Or a random gamble?

Fucking again. Have level 3 gear, decked out m416, driving to white circle and the game crashes. Reload and rejoin to me just dying from the blue wall. I'm starting to get really pissed, this is like the 4th game today out of 7.

In the Digital Foundry video where they mention that the game lags when there's an enemy nearby... it got me two easy kills. :D

It chugged a little bit, so I went prone and had a quick look around. Shot two guys in the back, like the coward I am.

One friend told me that and I was like...ok...
But now that I've played with that in mind I can confirm that when I'm looting in some place and the game starts lagging it's almost certain someone is coming by.

The apparments seem to load the slowest for me. Once I hit the ground it will take around 5 seconds before the building loads properly, which can be the difference between life and death.

I have a place I like to go now. But I'm not telling anyone. It's mine. lol

Yeah it can be bad on the regular one. It's pretty solid on the x though. I have played close to a hundred rounds now I would guess and only had one crash over all, and that was my 3rd game. For my friends on regular xb1 it's every other game though :/

Since the last update I've only had one crash in around 20 games.(xbox one S)

It's worth noting that I rarely use vehicles. I only ever get in them if I need to to avoid the circle. I know that crashes have been reported to happen more frequently when in them.

Yeahh I played with my nephew and cousin with a random. My nephew is a prick at times as he wants to win and took out the random teammate. And he's done this on fortnite myself and cousin fucked him up and killed him. Family or not I have no room for bullshit like that. He hasn't done it since lol

Yeah I'm on an OG xbone. Might grab a Scorpio next year, hopefully they'll fix whatever issue is causing this before then.

Last patch has caused way more crashes than the first iteration. I crash every game I play now. It's really really annoying to the point that I don't want to join back in sometimes. They need to fix that soon. I'm on OG Xbox. I think out of 20 games I crashed maybe three times but ever since the patch I've crashed almost every duo or squad game.

Just blew my next chicken dinner. Had the position advantage. Had sight on the last guy. Got a couple of shots off but lost him when he went prone and lost sight of him. He saw me and it was over. Ughhh. Damn. So close.

I could have gotten my 2nd chicken dinner last night. Made it to top 10. Was in an area of the map with tons of buildings. The wall was closing so a bunch of us had to move to get in the circle. Someone decided to take me out before I made it to safety lol.
