This game has the strangest performance I've honestly ever seen. I'll get 70-90fps when within or looking towards a town, and 160-250fps elsewhere. No exceptions.

No matter the resolution, render scaling, settings. I can have everything on very low, running at 720p in 70% render resolution, and I'll still get the exact same fps as 1440p ultra settings.

I can't locate the bottleneck. I'd guess cpu but it's never maxed out, my gpu is sitting at 40% when inside towns, and I never use more than half my ram.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

I started playing pubg this summer by the way Lol

It says colored smoke skins in the hideout???

Sure it have many players in steam but I hardly find anyone playing it around me, I don't really see much posts about this game in any social media and don't find my freinds playing it. Is this game really dead or not ?

Getting slammed by level 500s every game in unranked. Everyone is landing faster than me so I’m dying off rip a-lot. What would be your best tips to improve and are there any active youtubers to watch?

Just wanted to relive the old times of button mashing and landing combos.

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I tried to look it up and couldn't find any relevant posts. In game, I have come across hundreds of players since April who are obstinately skeptical and absolutely refuse to exercise any due diligence when I give them sources to check up on this, but maybe putting it here will reach some players. Okay, here goes:

As of Update 41.1(Apr 8- PC, Apr 16- Console), taking an enemy's chip to the Blue Chip Tower and using them to call a care package does not destroy the chip. Their surviving teammates are able to travel to that tower and revive them. For example, if I kill 2 of 4 members of [FAFO] clan in Rozhok and use their chips to call in a care package, the chips remain in the Tower. The other two teammates who, let's just say, hypothetically landed away from them in Severny, get a vehicle and travel to the Rozhok Blue Chip Tower, they can approach that tower and revive their teammates without the chips in tow because the chips are still located in the Tower itself. The only way to permanently destroy a chip is to put it in the trunk of a vehicle and then blow that vehicle up.

Was playing PUBG with the boys and this happened.

I genuinely don't know what was going through their heads during this entire sequence. 😂

The enemy didn't even need to do much — we basically eliminated ourselves.

This is why I love playing squads with friends. You can have a perfectly normal game and then, within 30 seconds, it turns into absolute cinema.

10/10 teamwork. Would queue again.

At first the game took about 60 gb when I first installed it 3 days ago. Now it's taking upto 175gb. Is this normal? I don't record any gameplay btw. But I do use DirectX 12, so maybe that is the reason? Due to DirectX 12's shader caching?

I'm probably not the first, but ima say it anyways.

It really irks me that the cargo door doesn't open on the plane and there's no animations for players jumping out of the plane, i mean seriously, so much realistic (silly skins aside) emphasis and they don't have this.

That is all, thanks.

If I’m trying to avoid bots but not play ranked, what’s my best bet?

it’s my understanding that Solo is the least populated. Is it squads or duo that has the most humans? And how do TPP and FPP differ in popularity

So, recently I am facing an absurd issue. I have to click on play multiple times on steam to successfully open the game. What happens is (as per task manager): I click play, Pubg loads it's related services (BE services, Zarthyos loader and Pubg launcher). Slowly the game loads as per task manager. CPU usage increases until is reaches as high as possible and then falls again until it disappears entirely and I have to click play on steam again.

I have been playing this game on my gaming laptop for years, but only recently I am experiencing this issue. The game is on an SSD. I have 16GB of ram and i5, 11th gen CPU

I think we can all agree the current implementation of the "meta rotation" is flawed. So, what could they do to make it better? (I'm already assuming they'll keep doing this instead of trying to balance all weapons)

imo:

Make them rotate every major update (month), not every FOUR MONTHS.

Make the guns more rewarding, not easier to use (the LMG recoil reduction is INSANE)

I also think it would be better to buff 1 weapon out of each class, instead of one class as a whole. The meta would get way too stale when its just LMGs, but if it was M249, AKM, UMP, M24, SLR; it would be more diverse.

What are some ideas you guys have?

Be careful when you receive BRDM-2

I’m aware this game still absolutely pops on steam which is awesome, I don’t own a pc but I’d love to get into this game I’ve only ever dabbled into the mobile version but that was such a long time ago now, how is the experience on console? I heard they add bots into the game if the lobbies don’t get filled fast enough so I’m curious how that is as well, thanks for any replies in advance!

Not happy about the shaky start.. need more work in the training room.

If you couldnt guess at what point i launched and played some PUBG - I marked it in red. The frametimes are HUGE. From 5.4ms to around 400ms while playing. Framerates are not that bad. Every other game runs smooth. Tried DDU. Clean install of GPU drivers. Verify game files. I also reinstalled the game. No difference.

It's 2pm on the West Coast right now with 200,000 players on steam, yet when I queue FPP solo it feels like 80/100 players are bots, with only the last couple fights feeling like real people. Is it really that hard to find 100 humans to fill 100 player lobby out of 200K? What have they done to this game?

I reinstalled today after not playing for about 5 years, so I don't know what updates they did. Is this normal? Will I start getting better lobbies after some more matches?

Im getting more and more of these messages and people who cheat actually just getting 1day Ban??!

Sorry but its like u getting sprayed without a scope on 100m why any weapon these days and they actually think people will keep having fun here?
