I can confirm that the game automatically selects your closer server now. Just booted up and already had Europe selected.

Wonder why the xbox one version looks so much more, washed out ?
Your post just happened to be a reflection of the ACTUAL state of PUBG. Not saying your post is an example of people lobbying for it to be eligible for GOTY. I'm saying your post is accurate which makes it hard for me to understand the other people who say this (clearly) unfinished game should be in contention for GOTY. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Wonder if there will be any Xbox Elite Controller layouts for this, or if you'll be able to use some of the additional controls to do toggles for ADS/etc. Probably not, but the configs probably so.
.. also man the Microsoft store in your browser is such a piece of shit. It seriously never works how I expect it to. The login is weird, after you login it still shows "sign in" until you usually click on the Xbox link, the store is odd with tons of refreshes and weird logins. I went to buy the game and it just popped up with a gray modal that... had nothing in it, and now every time I go to the Microsoft store site it gives me a form submission error.... So odd. It's been a piece of shit like this for years, really I think since X1 launch because they have to support both the X360 store (which is very old) and the X1 store, but it just makes this super clunky experience.
I almost always have to launch an incognito window and go through the process twice.

And a lot of folks buy consoles and play them with Elite controllers on gaming monitors and special headsets designed to make footsteps louder. That's not the console demographic couch ideal either. And honestly I think it's a pretty small percentage had it in their minds that "level playing field for online multiplayer" when they decided on getting a console. They get consoles because they're cheaper, simpler in general, have exclusives, and are more suited to TV use.
To me it's a strange position to occupy where you acknowledge that your preferred input method is inferior but that people shouldn't figure out a way to use a better input method because you need to be the best at the inferior method.
Jesus.. please don't buy a game in Game Preview or Early Access again.
Nothing ironic about using Xbox controller on PC at times, use the right control tool for the job.
The right tool for this game on Xbox is controller though. XIM is a restriction skirting device equivalent to using a sniper rifle in an archery competition. I hope they can detect and ban eventually. It makes console gaming less fun because 'we' (the normal's, playing as it's meant to be played, by the rules) lose more than we otherwise would, and you (people skirting restrictions) win more than you otherwise would.
So, I don't have an Xbox and am not able to play PUBG on it, but I am curious about something and am hoping someone in this thread can answer. How's the inventory system work? Really interested in seeing how they adapt from the m+k layout to console control.
Trying to play , hit A to start and been sitting on a white screen with music for 10 mins. Wtf?
I never said you couldn't, I just said your one argument doesn't hold up (and it doesn't).
More on to what you said in this specific response, getting a (slightly) better version of the same input method is entirely different than using an entirely different input method.
no
more probably shadows detail and ambient occlusion differences
Ambient Occlusion or shadow detail have nothing in common with the picture looking blurry - especially on distance.
There may be more differences, but in terms of the "washed out" look in direct comparison it is obviously the 4x higher resolution.
No way the X version is 4K.
Think the X version is 1080p now with some extra things and the S version 900p or lower.
I took that from a comment here on Era.
I don't know if that's correct though.
Fair to say some of the textures are so low-res that it's difficult to spot anyway.
'Game Preview' is really the same thing as early access. It doesn't mean you get a free preview. Comparing this to other 'Game Preview' titles with a free hour trial, this is loads better than those...in my opinion.
Yeah I read that too yesterday. I don't have the game yet but doesn't it look very crisp then? Difference between 1080p and 4K should be easily visible.
Just found out that you need to push up to pull the front end up on a motor bike. Went over a jump and pushed down to lift the front end (just like in GTA) only to flip the bike and kill myself.
Edit: and I've just had my first hard crash. :-(

Thankfully you can simply reconnect to your running game session.
Every game should have this really. I was surprised they already have this feature built in.
Using a KB+M on a console is not the same as buying the Xbox One Elite controller, which is sold and promoted by Microsoft. The Elite controller doesn't really give any advantage in any games... The button layout is customizable, and the paddles are nice, but nobody is going to suddenly become a noticeably better player at a game using the Elite controller than a regular one. The Elite controller is like going from a standard, average keyboard that might ship with your computer, to a nice mechanical keyboard. That is to say, it's much nicer to play with a mechanical keyboard, and it is more comfortable and responsive to play with, but it's not going to suddenly turn someone who isn't very good at a game into a good player, or give someone that much more of an advantage.
Meanwhile, using 3rd party hardware to bypass manufacturer hardware & software lockout to use a keyboard and a mouse to a console for competitive games is entirely different than an official controller. Now, I definitely do not think it's cheating, but be honest... You do it to get an advantage, because keyboard + mouse offers a clear advantage in many games, you don't do it just because you prefer the aesthetics or something. It's specifically for an advantage in shooter or RTS games. Again, I don't think it's cheating or anything, but just be honest, you want a definitive advantage over other players and keyboard + mouse provides that definitive advantage. There's a reason most of these devices are banned in competitive console play and people who use them are typically suspended or banned from tournaments, or at least, shamed heavily. There have been games in the past that have welcomed them, like Unreal Tournament 2007 for Xbox 360 and PS3 (IIRC), but games like Destiny, Overwatch, Halo, and others, have specifically disallowed KB+M for ingame controls, and these devices are explicitly used to bypass the way that the console manufacturer and software developer has designed the game.
I think the only justified reason for using devices like these that bypass the hardware security in the console to add 3rd party control inputs is for people with disabilities. If you can't enjoy the game because of a disability and you use one of these things, then I think that's totally on the up and up. ANd maybe some people will say that they have a disability because they're not used to using a controller, but many of those people are probably lying to themselves.

This is a clip I took of my friend trying to get away in a motorcycle. It did not end well for him lol

Is there anyway to get a refund on Xbox? Thought I'd like this because I like Fortnite but not for me
Thanks for this.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Game takes 3 mins to load from dash. Witch is an eternity in game time.
Not sure if this has been posted here, but Polygon put up some impressions:

Are there any server issues or problems or is the game progressing smoothly? I'm picking up my Early Access copy soon.

Pretty much how I feel. There are issues, but the fun I'm having once in a match, makes up for it. I can wait for the fixes as the game matures on console.
This specifically mentions first person, but I thought the first person addition wasn't coming till post-launch on consoles? I bought it but hven't been able to play yet to see.
it's a spot on port.... e.g., heaps of issues :-D
I think your ears are broken, it works fine here for me on my A40's.
Game does not have aim assist. Using a m+kb on game with no aim assist is an advantage against a controller player. Controller player has to use their thumb to aim, person using a mouse has their whole arm and wrist to do so. There is no argument and I would like to see you give me one in regards to this. At the end of the day, people are going to use what they are going to use, but do not come in here mentioning a high kill chicken dinner when you are playing at an advantage.
Pressing RB switches to first-person.
No first-person-only servers yet.
Its a pretty good port really. Just needs finetuning and improvements just like every early access game.

Tap RB and you can go into FP mode. The first person servers havent launched yet tho.
Vgtech has a video up, I'm in mobile currently. But mean framerate is 28.7 fps on the X without airship, with it's 26.6 fps.
Anyone else find that sometimes the button inputs just do not register, both in menus and game?
Pretty insane. It for sure doesnt look like that at all haha.
Wish they just kept it at 1080p with some extra stuff and have a steady framerate. And kept increasing the res when the game gets performance updates.
