PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: ESPORTS READY
- Thread starter TsuXna
- Start date
Just reading the Xbox thread, sounds like it's a fucking mess (and looks awful too).
Real shame for console players. Maybe they should have stuck to PC only.

1) I don't think it's shit.
2) I hope they do go back to it though and improve it knowing what they know now.
The new map feels like a entirely new game and from a quick first impression I like it better than the old one, if it stays like this I can't say but it's fun! :D And say is it still advised turning most settings to low? I can't seem to see people either way.
I haven't flipped a bike in like 50 hours, and then today on Miramar I hit a tiny ass bump, the bike got pushed 1 inch into the air, and without even turning mid-air more than a tiny bit it launched me off of the bike and instantly killed me despite going at a relatively low speed.
How likely is it that a player I killed raged and shut down the server ? 10 seconds after the kill "Host Closed the Connection" with 4 players remaining. :|
Messed around with the reshade stuff
Unfortunately it takes like 20 FPS from me
So I tried lowering reso and balancing options like clarity
Turned it all off now to achieve 50-60 FPS
Feel like I win more with higher fps since i shoot better

Oops wrong quote...
Im getting even better now. Found the right spot for my dpi.
Turned off killcam because it hurt my fps. The smoother the game the better i aim.
At 30-40 FPS dips my aiming is horrible and jittery. At 50-60, I can track with a lot of accuracy
Btw, will better optimization on pubg's end improve my fps and gfx setting?
Like, do i need to buy new hardware or can I hope for more improvements?
I know 1.0 is a big update but will there be anything further for optimization?

PUB looks worse than Battlefield 1, but runs worse, even on test server, so there's room for optimization. Only downside is, they aren't a company who makes their game engine, so the potential for optimization is less, and they are going to have to keep throwing anti-cheat on the fire, which can eat up some frames.
On my (now old) i5 3570k, I went from dogshit performance back in march -> playable -> decent -> actually pretty consistently above 60 almost the whole time (on the test server) -> slightly worse again after anti-cheat measures. What machine do you have?
I still upgraded though. Swapped over to an i3 8350K. Game (and everything) loads a lot faster now, runs maybe 30-50% better if I was to guess. I don't know if DDR4 over DDR3 did that or what. Eyeballing nvidia overlay I seem to get between 70-110 fps most of the time.
I'm sure you've tweaked view distance, and other settings, but a big on that a lot of people miss is the recording features that Windows and Nvidia at least will always try to have on automatically. Xbox game recorder and shadowplay. Shadowplay can be turned off in nvidia experience, but for Windows you have to download the Xbox app and then turn it off in there. Gives a nice boost. And if you are really struggling, turning off the steam overlay will net you a couple of frames.
I played this game for months at 4K and was getting like 40-ish fps. I decided to change it over to 1080P and bump everything up to Ultra and it is a complete gamechanger. 60+fps makes this game so much better.
Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
8 GB Ram
Current GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7800
Ill go ahead and turn off steam overlay and hope that the recording feature is on so that I can hope for more frames
Every little bit helps.
If I can get a consistent 60+ I can maybe turn on Sharpen on Reshade (which eats like 10 FPS), because I love how that makes everything look sharper
Same as I used to have. I actually overclocked from 3.4-> 4.2 with that, only for battlegrounds before giving up the struggle and upgrading. I wouldn't go near re-shade personally though. To be clear you want to make sure all forms of recording are off if you are struggling for frames, but I don't know if AMD automatically have it on though. Windows definitely does.
Surprised people: 0
What game doesnt become better with good actually playable fps tho?
Did they ever add official multi-monitor support for super wide resolutions like 5760*1080? If I recall correctly, I tried it earlier this year, and it kinda worked, but there were issues. It cut off like 90% of the body in 3rd person and you could only see the head.
God, if you don't get at least a 4x scope on Miramar it's pure torture. There's so many long range engagements when you simply cannot tell where your shot is landing with irons or any sight, and the rendering on the test server is so blurry and shimmery it makes players hard to distinguish sometimes.
There are so many times I've spent a whole round hitting multiple players once or twice from range and then it's impossible to finish the engagement, we either just keep missing each other or someone chickens out and drives away.

I actually felt OK today playing, felt a little more confident, got a kills, took on some other engagements and either escaped or forced the other person to back off, worked the circle OK and got a third.
There really is no better progression system in gaming than feeling YOU are getting better rather than simply having better stuff. It is probably enhanced by being new to PC gaming so also having to get used to mouse and keyboard but it really does feel nice to feel a little more able.
A chicken dinner is not waiting to be served but I do at least know where the restaurant is now!
Oh yeah and I'm joining the three wheelers are sketchy club:

Man my fps definitely is lower in the first map still
So frustrating
On new map its 40 minimum but mostly 55-60.

Try using LumaSharpen (strength at ~1.5) instead of Clarity, it shouldn't cost any fps while basically achieving the same thing.
damn at least bump it up to 1440p
it must be so ugly at 1080p in comparison to 4k
1440 makes everything look too wide on my screen.
It's actually not bad in 1080!
There's a lot of nice changes in there. Finally fixing stuff like the AR quickdraw thing is a relief, the parachuting thing is good to know it was a glitch and not a deliberate change, and I really hope the new circle changes up Miramar's pacing.
Oh, and people are saying they've improved the AA so it's not as blurry anymore.

The AA was killing me. Spent all week adjusting Screen Clarity, and reshade options, AA etc to get 60 FPS that didnt look blurry or pixelated
I agree. Right now every Erangel map I get placed into drops down to about 20 players while we're still in the plane.
This further exacerbates the problem because I would be fine with playing a full Erangel match, but an empty one isn't too much fun.
When you have 6 regions with 6 playlists each it gets very tricky, especially considering the players aren't evenly spread among those playlists.
Argh, I cant stand this game.
Sneak up on a guy who is shooting someone in the distance.
I put a headshot, and a body shot, he runs behind the car in front of him. He's got to be a single shot, to die right?
Well I run up to him, and he INSTANTLY SPRAYS ME WITH A SCAR. Im thinking Ill take damage but be able to kill him off, but I didnt even get the chance to shoot
I just dont fucking get it and Im so frustrated. How does he spray me down so fast at full health and level 2 armour? Should I have just been using Burst and spraying like mad? He was like 8 feet in front of me.
I just am getting so fed up because it never feels like I can consistently figure this game out
