Generally speaking "more fps = better" especially if you play with a 144/120hz monitor, "less distraction = better" and a clear image is also important if your pc can handle it. Most high ranked players in any shooter game will agree. My system: i5-6600k @4.6Ghz / GTX970 OC / 16GB DDR4-RAM / Win 10 / 2560x1444
Step 1: Check the power settings on your computer so they are set to "high performance" instead of the defaulted "balanced" Change your graphic card driver settings to be more performance-oriented (just google nvidia or amd driver settings)
Step 2: Right click on the Game in Steam Click on 'Properties' Click on 'Set launch options' Add "-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system -sm4" to the text box (without quotes) You might want to test "-lowmemory" if you got 8gb or less ram (for now, game has memory leak, restart the game after every match) "-sm4" changes shaders from dx11 to dx10, it does remove some distractive reflections and marks on the screen (scope glares fixed!) "-malloc=system" forces windows to handle the memory allocation
Nathaniel Adams
Step 3: Go to ingame settings/graphics Turn up "Brightness" to your preference to see enough in dark corners etc. Change "Anti-Aliasing" to "Very Low" (Note: This game uses "FXAA" or something similar. It doesn't really cost much performance to use however everything gets blurry and might even cause headache! If you want a clearer image there are other options. However some people don't like to play with flickering edges. In this case try to play on "High" or "Ultra") Change "Shadow Quality" to "Very Low" (Note: use "Low" if you can't handle the blocky shadows indoors) Change "Post-Processing Quality" to "Very Low" (Note: Removes saturation/bloom, increases visibility) Change "Texture Quality" to anything (Note: Depends on your graphics card VRAM and personal preference. Some pro's say its harder to see an enemy in high quality textures. Check your fps while changing this setting. Some people might experience higher fps with higher textures right now due to cpu overload. This settings increases quality a lot while not losing much visiblity) Change "Effects Quality" to "Very Low" (Note: If you still want a better looking game without sacrificing visiblity a lot then this is one of the settings to change) Change "Foliage" to "Very Low" (Note: Removes a LOT of bushes/grass) Disable "Motion Blur" Reduce your Screen Scale (Note: Depends heavily on your graphics card. Strong cards won't get a high average ingame-fps increase here and should stay at 100 @native resolution to maintain good pixel quality) If you can't handle a bad looking game but want to maintain good visibility just increase Texture a lot, Effects a bit and Shadows to "Low"
Caleb Davis
Step 4 (Advanced, skip if you don't want to lose any fps) These Settings only improve visibility and might cost few fps, only use them if you want the clearest image possible. Note that I play with very low textures: Open C:\Users\PC NAME\AppData\Local\TslGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor Open the "GameUserSettings" file in the "WindowsNoEditor" folder. Change value from "sg.ResolutionQuality" to "sg.ResolutionQuality=100.000000" (Recommended!) Change value from "sg.ViewDistanceQuality" to "sg.ViewDistanceQuality=3" Change value from "ScreenScale" to "ScreenScale=120.000000" (skip if you don't want to lose 10-12fps average, might be even more depending on your setup but this helps a bit against not having anti-aliasing) Make the file "read-only" (Note: keep in mind that any settings ingame won't be saved, just remove it, change your settings and put it back on with all changes) Add " -d3d10" as a additional startoption in steam (Note: "-d3d10" includes "-sm4", removes some shadows for example, you might lose some fps or get weird textures, not recommended)

How are people sitting on rooftops of buildings that have no access to the top?
Michael Sullivan
In Pochinki you can run and jump from the top of a three story building that has roof access to the other rooftop next to it. I think some user uploaded a video example last time. Its in the center of town and covers a lot of rooftops, pretty nifty
Jason Lee
Anyone has an idea how to get this level of shitgraphics? Applying negative lod bias through nvidia inspector doesn't work.
Cameron Wright
Shitter graphics don't help you as much as you think, user. Just get gud
John Ramirez
Should have been more clear in the first post. The game by default seems to not let itself have enough bandwidth which could be the cause of some of the problems with desync in firefights. Setting the bandwidth the game is allowed to have in the engine file basically removes whatever the default cap is. The game is never going to actually take 50Mbps, but you get the idea.
Posts 2, 3, and 4 are from a graphical optimization guide on reddit focused on getting a high fps and reducing visual clutter so you can tryhard harder.

You only want to know so you can see the female models without underwear, don't you? There is porn on this very same website you're posting on, you know.

Is this shit ever gonna go on sale?
Jordan Adams
It's been well worth $30 to me.
Bentley Ward
I've already played DayZ mod and H1Z1 so this is nothing but another alpha that will never be finished and will be forgotten when the next FotM game comes along.
Blake Reed
>$30 dollars for a ticket to a massive virtual world populated with real people that you can kill and interact with >complaining about the price
You are gonna be waiting for a sale for a long time my dude
Jackson Adams
So much this. Its quite a phenomenon and for only $30 thats like what a couple hours of a minimum wage job? I bet if you went around your house collecting all the spare change you can find and brought it to the bank to have them count it you would have more than enough to pay for this game
Jose Brooks
I have nearly enough to get it for free from selling CSGO drops but it's an unfinished game that looks exactly like H1Z1 from the streams I've watched.
Friends keep pestering me to buy it but
Jason Gray
I can understand burnout if you've already played the other older flavors of this game type, but this was my first venture into "battle royale" stuff.
Other people have said it feels like a middle ground between H1Z1 and Arma
Joshua Howard
>higher than h1z1 and arma by a mile Sad!
Logan Ortiz
Seems like most of the praise is from people who haven't played a similar game before. The first battle royale style game you play is always gonna be the best.
Nolan Myers
Possibly because most that haven't played a similar game are like me and liked the idea, but waited until something appealing appeared.

Use the -lowmemory launch command.
Eli Price
is it just -lowmemory?
Jace Nguyen
In my experience, yeah. I didn't try any other commands since I have no idea what they do but in my case the game was struggling with not having enough RAM.
Brayden Ortiz
I've got the use all available cores command on, i had to activate vsync aswell because i was getting mad screen tearing, i get solid 60fps now though. The anti-aliasing is fucking shit on this game though, it's like it isn't even on, it doesn't smooth anything out and makes my hair have some weird bug where half of it isn't really visible.

It creates an environment where everyone just hides behind things while watching with their free magic eye, it's an extremely powerful tool. It's no fun though, there's no risk associated with peeking.

Is it too late for a refund?

Colton Lee
It's bullshit, I've found if you press tab your game freezes and then fixes it but it freezes for too long and then the circle is already closing in so you don't have time to loot
Zachary Young

This is true for me. Launch day of the open alpha wss the smoothest for me only one game ruining crash everything else was smooth. Put 80 hours into this game in the first week now I still only have like 100 because it runs like shit

Same, it was better pre 'optimisation patch'. Hilarious, must be to do with the foliage.
Levi Morris
>What's the big deal? It's just another tool to use and everyone has it.
Just because we all can use it doesn't mean it makes the game better.
Using it is fair, because everyone can use it. But the game would be a better and more tactical game if no one could use it.

>What's the gimmick
There isn't a gimmick.
It's you, possibly your friends, and up to ninety-nine other people on an island. There are weapons and equipment. You have one goal. Survive. Snatch life from the jaws of death, and feed upon the rage of every person you kill. Fashion their bones into new tools in your arsenal, and continue your spree.
Stand triumphant, howling to the sky, atop the mountain of bodies you've created. Shout your victory to the heavens, and announce to whatever God's exist that you're coming for them.
Or be the asshole in the field that shoots that guy in the head right before he yells.
James Rodriguez
It has very chaotic, ugly fighting that I like.
Last game I was looting a supply drop when a guy ran towards me. I shot at him but he forced me into cover, then when I came out I saw him run i nto a bush. While I was shooting into the bush he slipped around the crate and shot me in the back and I was like "I have literally seen this exact thing happen to someone on liveleak"

Christian Hill
What's your MO, /pubg/? Where and how do you get most of your kills?
I have terrible luck with long-range shooting, I can only think of a couple clean long-ranged kills I've made. I like to follow people into towns and wait outside the house they're looting. Nobody's ready for a fight as they open a door I've noticed.
It's best when they don't even realize what's happening until it's too late. Burst a guy with an uzi as he comes into your house and he just pitches forward and lands on his face.
William Lee
I like to stalk people and then shoot them from mid-range in the woods, or lie in waiting and pop anyone moving through an area with sufficiently sparse cover. I really dislike anything remotely urban.
Sebastian Turner
upgrading my pc with an i5 and a gtx1060 later on. would the new cpu along with 8gb ram and a gtx 660 handle this?
Tyler Russell
I land in either the powerplant, Georgeopol, gun range, school, or military base, based on plane trajectory, literally every game. Early game clusterfucks are the best.
I've won probably 2 dozen matches and most kills I've gotten in a single game is 18.
Nothing feels better than having 6 kills and one of the best loot locations in the game completely yours by the second circle.
Only downside is I die a lot. Win percent is probably somewhere around 3-8%. I have fun tho.

I'm a close-range man myself. I like urban areas, where I can use the double-barrel and UMP/Vector. Mini-Uzi is decent, but somewhat inaccurate for my tastes. I just wish the damn Vector actually showed up more often.
Chase Lopez
do we have a map with best sniping spots to just b-line towards to anytime there's a co-operating circle?

At the time I was like "makes sense, gotta juke and jive"
Now I that I know how dodgy punching is and how godly shotguns are I can only think how there's like a 90% chance he broke his mouse and/or keyboard in an absolute fit of rage. I had no idea how bullshit that kill was at the time.
Gabriel Diaz
I really enjoy shooting people in the blue, knowing that the other person goes through the same though process you did.

>start at the school >clearly going to land last, decide the roof is no longer a good idea >duck into the building and immediately come upon a person loading a mag into a long rifle >run behind her and punch her to death
Literally just zipped in behind her in the same litle booth thing she was taking cover in since I had nothing to lose at that point. She managed to pop off one panic shot into the wall before giving up her AKM.

People are annoyed not because you can't drive through it, they're annoyed because it's almost impossible to spot as being there before it's too late, and because of how the game's physics work, hitting it while driving at any real speed means you're going to flip and likely die.
