PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out

I've found that usually when I get killed I either didn't see a 2nd person, or just didn't predict things right. There have definitely been times where lag or something else came into play, which is annoying. I emptied a full auto P18c into a guys head and he turned around and off'd me. Not sure how that happened. Wish I had recorded it. Speaking of.. ALMOST every time I've recorded a firefight where I lost.. I can see myself spraying an outline around the enemy.. no wonder I lost.. I bound back and forth and barely hit them.. need to work on my aim.

Did have a guy glitching the military base apartments somehow to get in a wall and shoot us on the stairwell so that kind of sucked.

I have a video of that! So lame. I hope they get banned.



Sorta funny side story for that.. before the video I was looting the barracks in peace and I saw a gun run down the hallway, I go to chase him and he literally vanished into the wall by the stairs. I was like "Wut". Searched all around, went outside, and called my duo partner to help me look for him.. then.. well, yeah. Lame.

FPP squads is THE SHIT though. So much fun. So much more tense. Much wow. I approve.

Just nabbed my first solo chicken dinner! In my 15th game.

2 Kills also!

Now that the game's been out for a month, can anyone say for sure whether it supports Dolby Atmos?

I'm using really nice headphones with my Xbox One X (Sennheiser 598) and the game sounds fantastic, but I'd love to be able to hear a back-to-back example of Atmos on vs. off if Atmos is supported in the first place, and then do an Atmos vs. Windows Sonic comparison too.

Yeah same building, I saw him vault into the wall to the left of the stairwell on top. (wasn't sure about what I had seen live) My teammate gets downed and killed in the stairwell and starts accusing me of shooting him, and when I go to investigate I meet the same cheater fate: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Pegasus Actual/video/42146532

This latest update seems to have improved the framerate and crashing a noticeable amount on Xbox One X, and indoor lighting and materials look much better. Aiming seems much better and less choppy too, seemed to get a few more kills just through smoother aiming last night.

I just can't get enough of this game. Still chasing our elusive first duo chicken dinner, got a single one and a few squads, but just can't pop that duo cherry. Got a second and third last night :(. Pretty happy with my stats atm - think its about 50 hours of play, 40% top 10 in single, 39% duo, 37% squad.

One thing that I really dislike but don't know what they can do to fix is the handling of long grass and players hiding prone in it in the distance. I love doing it, but as soon as you're outside someones very short LOD the grass doesn't render, so to them they can just see you laying there on a green/brown hill/field, easily visible. Kinda defeats the purpose when only people close to you can't see you.

The inventory system is getting to a point where it's screwing over woth how long it takes to sometimes puck up items on the ground and the game not letting you move down the list without picking up an item. Has led to waaaay too many deaths.

The problem I have with this game is that in order to survive to the top 25 you pretty much have to stay hidden after finding your weapons. It gets kind of boring. However, if you don't stay hidden you are likely to die because going on offense is just a death sentence waiting to happen. I wish there was more than one map. The game is fun though for the most part.

Whoa crap! You can totally see him vault into the wall in your video.. well that should be an automatic ban. It's not like he 'accidentally' ended up in there with poor loading or something. It's straight exploiting an error in the geometry. Granted, it's bound to happen in early access.. but it still shouldn't be allowed.

Guess I'm not going to that building ever again! Though I wonder if you can get out from inside there?

Yeah.. I still instinctively go prone to hide in the grass.. and then realize it's probably completely useless.. and maybe even detrimental considering how slowly you can react when you're on the ground.

I just had the worst luck.

Having to run back through the gas as for a ways as I forgot about the circle after dealing with two players when I finally get close to the edge of the playing area the bombing area spawns right on top of me. I have to continue running in a open field and as soon as I reach the edge of that for safety I get gunned down.

Yeah that's what I mean. I pretty much exclusively press start to loot but there are way too many times when it refuses to let you move around the left Collum to loot what' on the ground and it results in me dying way too much.

just ran into a circle and then the gas moved 10 seconds later. No idea how that happened.

Had a rather epic match last night with a somewhat similar ending.

Initial looting went well as I managed to ravage some far away houses on the Northern side. Had a nice SCAR-L and a sniper rifle plus all kinds of cool equipment, was really satisfied with my loot basically. Circle was over South however and my search for a car didn't provide good results for long. Lucky for me a guy came by with a buggy that he switched for a jeep, so I got the buggy (that had a lot of fuel) so I could move all the way into the circle. I exchanged it for a bike down the line to be faster, and as the circle shrank I eventually left it with 30 people left. That wasn't initially a good move as I was being shot from 2 far away dudes, but I managed to get away with only minor damage when they starting duking it out, and I managed to hide behind a tree with massive shadows in the high grass. It was my designed spot.

It turned out to be a great place, as a guy decided to hide next to some rocks close to me. I had a clean headshot with a sniper on him and nobody noticed, so I kept hiding. I picked out another dude and followed others thanks to my 4x scope, and people were dying left and right while the circle was closing on me. With about 11 people left, the circle got out of the way, but I managed to run back into it and snipe another guy who was hiding behind another tree while I was laying in the grass. Things were looking good, but then every circle I had to get up and move exposing myself. It led to some spectacular firefights that I either won by killing the enemy or by outlasting them against the circle or other players.

Down to the last 3, I see a guy outside of the next circle but I am also out, so we shoot each other as we move. He eventually gets in the circle and I don't, so he relaxes, but I walk onto him from behind with barely any health and shoot him dead. I am inside the circle, and I don't know if it was lag or something but the circle stopped where intended but then moved again. I was pressing B to lay down but with little health I died as soon as the circle moved, and pressing B sent me to the menu too. It was really, really odd, but a rather epic #2 place where I landed about 4 kills just in the ending phase. Granted, I had little health and no idea where the lust guy was so I don't think I had many chances to pull off the win, but still a rather odd finish.

I had that problem, someway the cursor is on another section. like gun collum or outfit.
Press down a million times and you'll be back at the correct collum

Had this exact issue last night myself. The looting column was constantly getting mixed up with the equipped items column until I randomly pressed down enough times on it to fix it. It was getting annoying to pick everything up with X before I've found out how to fix it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing that. Almost everytime I get to a loot crate it happens and it totally fucks me trying to just pic up the damn stuff in the crate.

I had this too, not quite as bad as this but enough to be confusing.

I *think* I got it more when picking up helmets and armour. It kept leaving the active cursor in the thinner "equipped clothing" column rather than staying in the "things on the ground" column.

I've been having that loot menu problem at least every other game too.

I need to improve my aim....

Oddly I only had it happen to me once in 25 hours or so. Glitches seem oddly inconsistent in this game, can't seem to find a way to recreate them or make them happen (or avoid them) consistently. Last time's moving circle, the looting issue, even the whole "game keeps crashing thing... I only had one crash in 25+ hours so I don't know what's up.

Is there a known glitch on the bridge to the military base? I just recorded someone for sure cheating there

Sorry for the double post but how do I link the recording on here?? I gotta see what you guys think, I'm pretty damn sure he is cheating but I may be crazy

Skills players! What's your new settings after new patch, including Elite controller stick settings.

Fucking game keeps crashing and going to the dashboard. I drove into water and died because of it. Then, my game crashed when I stopped at a crate. Got shot in the head right when I got back in.

I think the vehicles are the reason for the crashes. I don't think the game has crashed once while on foot.

"There's no hackers on consoles" is what Era told me. The fuck is that? Dude is floating, gets hit like 20 times with blood splats too and nothing happens. Either he's hacking or abusing of some nasty glitch, either way a report seems entirely justified. These past days people killed me through building walls twice, and I'm not interested in whether they hacked or they just glitched themselves outside the map or inside the wall or something, it's fucking bullshit and they deserve to be punished.

I don't think it's hacking, I think they'd just be glitches.

I land to some houses. One enemy lands close. From the sounds it's clear he jumped into a building through the window and he never left. I run out to another building. He somehow opened a door and walked to the building without noise. One shot of shotgun and dead. #86. Great start for tonight.

And then a #48 with a dude throwing a grenade through a window as I was laying on the pavement. He had no way to see me unless he saw through walls. Fantastic.

Sounds smart to me. A good tactic is to punch a window as a diversion then run elsewhere, or jump back out of the same window you already jumped in through and broke the first time.

He's likely abusing a glitch. I've noticed how some things don't even pop up on other people's screens.

Heard him inside the house a couple seconds earlier, no noises since so I figured he hid inside. Not only he left without noise (even the broken window would make footsteps), he even got to the other building really quick without noise. That definitely wasn't normal.

I dunno. You can be pretty stealthy in this game.

Stealthy is possible.

Hearing others footsteps is extremely reduced crouching slowly, 5m is roughly the range for that.

God I love this game but its so silly at times.

I don't think he's necessarily glitching, if anything it kind of looks like you lag out for a little bit there. He just keeps crawling backwards instead of starting to shoot. It doesn't make a ton of sense. He didn't get into the geometry of the map.

When my internet went down mid game I would say it let me continue as normal for like 20 seconds. I'm pretty sure if I shot my gun it would let me. But if I tried to pick up anything it would do the animation and not give me an item. Like I said it took at least 20 seconds for the Network Lag Detected thing to pop up. After about 10 seconds of failing to pick up an item I looked over to my computer and checked and indeed everything else had crapped out, then tried to ping google and got nothing.

Yeh I'd avoided pretty much everything until a week or so ago. Had never had a crash or massive framerate drop really. Then boom, started crashing every game or 2 or 3. Now the inventory glitch every game or 2, but it's not too much of a hassle.

Ehhhh I know I may have a bit of a bias, but he was shooting at me, and that other guy for a while. And how is the floating explained? It just seems odd given I live by alone and have a very good internet connection. Just watched it again, idk what you're seeing?? He is floating and goes prone when I aim at him and then switches weapons? He's not crawling back the whole time

Truly the only thing i find crap, just trash is are the crates. Three times now i got the same trash that i can ''sell' for 30BP, really now? I got the school shoes, cap and shirt multiple times now. Now i know it's not abou this in the end, i mean you can pick up clothing in the match itself but it still gives you some kind of reason to make many kills for those BP.

Well, think a little. What would be the 'glitch' he was doing. Going prone while backing away from you?

Also while he's shooting and hitting you his model is aiming way to your left. I think it's a server issue or you lagging. Or maybe him lagging as I have no idea how PUBG resolves its network stuff. I would guess on his screen he probably retreated to the last box for cover and went prone there. Because he's prone and then slides to his left to get an angle and shoot you.

I'm not sure what the glitch could be, but we've seen the people shooting through the walls in the prison glitch in this thread so maybe something similar? Idk it just seems odd that I'm hitting him and he is moving normally like he is playing the whole time. I'd see where you were coming from if he didn't move at all

Well I posted one of the clips of the military base glitch. And ten seconds searching on YouTube leads me to how it works and it meshes perfectly with the directional sounds of the bullets that killed us. I'm not saying he didn't do some kind of glitch, but from the clip it is petty to report him because all you see is a janky looking death in a janky looking game, and no the other player actually doing anything wrong or unreasonable. Chances are you've gotten kills on people when they were seeing something completely different as well.

So, got my first Chicken Dinner last night. Those last few circles are so palpably tense and are probably my favourite part of the game. Everyone has so much invested in it by that point.

I was crawling through the grass in one of the wide open farmers fields, like a real hero and picked off a few people from the side while they battled with others. I also managed to avoid the person driving circles in a buggy by sticking close to trees. I'm pretty sure you can clip through the smaller trees no problem but I was banking on this guy not knowing that.

I also got some weird glitch where I got stuck in first person mode in another match despite it being a third- person server and then it wouldn't let me aim down sights. Not that useful during a firefight.

Lol wtffff

I have to say playing last night my aim felt WAY better with the Aim Accel on 7. I am playing exclusively on FPP now and am loving it just like on PC.

My first FPP game was a solo, happened to be streaming and got hosted by a larger streamer just as I was entering the top 10. I ended up with 7 kills, but people were being idiots. One guy actually fought me in a tree fight, but when I pegged him twice with the kar 98 he disappeared so I rushed him, he was just prone behind the tree... then I caught a guy just prone next to a rock, then I caught a guy prone next to a tree and then with the last guy in the final circle I couldn't spot him so I decided to just rush the most obvious spot he would be hiding... nope he was laying prone in the grass to the left of the rock and I killed him instantly.

Pro Tip - Going prone and just laying there gives people like me who will rush you and fight you an advantage.
