I don't want to be pessimistic but.... That's exactly what they said would the server side patch do and it became worse...
I hope at least not more gameplay dilution like with the recoil change....
Well, not exactly

OP
OP
So far I've seen enough crashes to label some as 'typical'.
On my X1X I typically crash:
In the loading island, when I hold down menu to bring up team management (trying to invite person to a party). I'd say this happens 1/6 times (roughly).
When checking inventory. This happens much less often, but I open my inventory screen and immediately freeze/crash. Haven't paid attention enough to determine if there is a certain item that is in my inventory every time this crashes/etc.
When my vehicle crashes. I have noticed this one less often than I used to, maybe it was something server side? It used to crash whenever I'd ram hard into something else. I'd laugh cause I crashed so hard it crashed the game.
My friend has an OG Xbox and his typical crashes are:
When driving in car. Just randomly he'll crash out of the game. I'm usually driving so I can drive around till he gets back in. Additionally I've noticed a bunch of people idling in cars where clearly they've crashed the game. On my X I've rarely crashed when behind the wheel.
When going to a place with a ton of buildings/etc. The large cities and the shooting range especially cause his game to give up the ghost.
My OG Xbox friend has taken to closing the game and restarting every 2nd or 3rd round, and it SIGNIFICANTLY lowered the number of crashes he experiences over the course of a day of gaming. Completely possible it's a placebo effect, but could be worth a try. I haven't tried this with my X really, so no clue if it'll help or not.

Got two Duo wins last night and a decent # of Top 10 finishes.. made it up to Top 2700 ranking in NA which feels nice. Haven't found a good Squad to play with, and Solo is hard to keep doing when you're used to duo/squad games. SO LONELY.
Between this game and Wildlands, I think I've double the # of 'friends I actually game with' on my friends list in the course of a year. It's awesome. The vast majority of people are cool, helpful, and not total douchebags. Feels like classic XBL circle 2004-2005.
I actually really like the recoil change. I'm not doing amazingly better but it feels more like what I'd expect from a shooter on console.
It's funny to record a clip when I lose a gun fight and watch it closely to see all my shots just being wildly off-target. It looked like I hit him in the heat of the moment, but after wards its like I shot a complete outline of him.. go figure.

Cause when you can shoot with auto or burst almost "laser like" on opponents 50 meter or more away, that's against everything that PUBG stands for and ruins the amazing importance of single shots that made PUBG so one of a kind.
Now people are crying about "Car Meta" and I'm really f'n scared they will change something here too and the game will become more and more generic to please the masses.
Lol. Some guy chased me for 3 minutes.... With a shotty. I finally got his position and killed him.
Go play TDM somewhere else chump.

I was playing in Duo with a friend yesterday.
I was already dead so I was spectating him. He decided to swim between islands. His game crashed while he was swimming, but I remained in game watching his character continue to swim in the same direction as it was before he crashed.
But then the game let him re-join and continue from where he left off! Pretty neat.

After a few games in squad where my team died and I did well on my own, 1-man squad is now my jam playing alone. People underestimate a random dude running a field by himself.
Ah ok, I don't follow any pubg news. Too busy playing.
I'm just going to avoid the pump action because boy I'm not good with it. I just got killed using it to someone I have dead to rights in close range. Shots take way to long to fire.
Also two games in a row all I find in my starting location is uzi and pump action shotguns. No rifle to be found at all.

So leaderboards based on my shitty scores. Looking at single player kill rating. Realize that I am bad, but there are still people below me.
NA: 2,047,628
EU: 702,604
AS: 80,561
OC: 71,010
So what that means is that there is approx. 3 million players better then me. Not sure how many are worse.

Had an duo win with one of my roommates tonight. We landed at the apartments by the school. He ends up stuck hanging on the side of a building with his parachute out, so I had to down him and pick him back up. After that we just held down the apartments until there were about ten ppl left. I ended up going 1v1 and hit the other guy a couple times til the last zone took him. Kind of anticlimactic ending, but always nice to end the night on a high note. Luckily neither of us crashed that round, which I feel is rare lol.
Pc player here, but on Xbox one is it possible to use ADS like in the picture?

Yup. I didn't play on pc, but regardless it took me some time to get used to.... I'm still getting used to it. Right bumper toggles between 1st/3rd person, tapping left trigger puts you in fp aim mode, holding left trigger puts you in 3rd person like precision mode or something. I'm learning new things about this game constantly. I just found out that a frying pan is ass armour. I didn't believe it. I ended up getting a clip with a bullet ricocheting off of the pan with no damage not a day later.
New post w/o double posting. So I've found when I play solo and use my ear buds in my controller; I do so much better. Whenever I play with friends I can't hear shit. I just had the standard in the box Xbox headset. Got some Astro A40s arriving today. I'm pretty excited
You realise that the point of releasing in "early access" is to allow frequent patches with minimal cert. You do understand what an early access game is don't you? Its an unfinished game released early on the understanding that over a period of time it will receive updates to migrate it to a more finished and polished game until hopefully it releases version 1.0 and releases in full?
And my point is that there is no point in it going through any certification process if what is out now passed that same process. May as well upload nightly builds with no supervision from Microsoft at this point. Well, aside from the fact that patches are 5GB now for some reason.
What? The game is improving with each patch. And the cert process for EA titles is literally "does this update brick the console?" Y - push back N - pass through.
It's dreadful on original Xbox. I'll assume you play on One X because I really can't imagine you feeling the need to defend PUBG from a crack about certification if you've put a few dozen hours into it on regular Xbox One.
It isn't "dreadful" on OG Xbox. You should get some perspective.
I have an XB1X and play it on a 4k monitor in my office.
I have a XB1 downstairs connected to a 70" 1080p TV
Its dreadful on the XBO.
I've played on both the OG and now the X.
The X is definitely way better in every way, but the OG is certainly not dreadful.
Kinda losing my patience with this game, half my bullets and grenades don't seem to register, but enemies can always kill me with a few shots while my point blank shots seem to disappear into thin air. Two of the last 3 matches I died like this, it seems like the shooting is getting worse with each patch. Takes the point away when I loot away 20 minutes and the 1st or 2nd guy I shoot to death just turns around and one shots me as if I weren't even shooting at him.
Same here, thats why i stopped playing. Controls and/or hit detection are absolute shit.
Enjoying myself loads more after upgrading to the X. Visuals and performance are perfectly acceptable now.
Now hopefully the rubberbanding and input latency issues are dealt with, then I'll really be hooked for good.
Now hopefully the rubberbanding and input latency issues are dealt with, then I'll really be hooked for good.
The upside is that I have a very conservative playstyle which granted me a whopping 29% top 10 ratio, putting me around #421 or so in the EU servers' win rating.
I seem to be having this problem lately. It's been really off putting.
Had a rough night last night.. but still fun.
Did a couple solo games to get warmed up, then joined a friend for a duo.. but my mic wasn't working. Had to do a full Xbox restart (power button for 10 seconds) and power back on and it was working again. 2nd time I've had this bug in the last couple weeks so I wonder if its something with the software on the X1X.
Played a bunch of rounds with someone who is new to the game.. whew.. those did not go well. "No run away from the blue", "no don't loot everything you see", "no don't run right at them.. oh whatever". I think by the end he finally started to get the hang of things.. but just trying to get us to land in the same spot was a challenge!
Ended with four match-made duo matches:
#1. No mic, drops from the game right away. Didn't do particularly well.
#2. Has a mic (yay!), but isn't really paying attention most of the game, keeps talking to someone off-mic about nachos, gets downed a few times, I revive him, we get into the Top 20 and he stops responding. Doesn't quit the game, and is sitting in my jeep, but not playing. We end up getting killed, 11th place.
#3. Another guy, has a mic (yay), seems okay. Drop into Pochinki, loot a bit, he ends up firing at some people in the distance, they sneak over and kill us.
#4. Try again, drop north of the school, loot for a bit, spot a guy on top a roof, he jumps off and kills my partner, I off him, partner decides to log off, so I just play the rest of the round solo. End up getting it down to 3 players and can't figure out why the other two are not shooting each other as I'm pretty well hidden. They finally kill me with a grenade and I remember I was playing duos and duh they're on the same team! #2 team overall.
Figured it was as good as it was going to get so I logged off.
It was interesting and some of the randoms I get match up with say they hate looting, they just want to grab a gun and go kill people. I guess my playstyle is the exact opposite. I'm slow, patient, and deliberate. I'll loot as much as I can and stockpile useful stuff and try to predict where the groups will be headed (and where they wont be) to try and make it to Top 10/Chicken Dinner. I love that both types of people can enjoy the game.

Damn, finally a Chicken Dinner again, very first round I did today, was a duo round and I can't believe I survived it.
Also, one of the rare occasions where the 3rd person shoot mode worked perfectly. Here is the end on video.
Also, one of the rare occasions where the 3rd person shoot mode worked perfectly. Here is the end on video.
I also had some interesting matches today despite the shooting BS I mentioned. The last two were pretty damn intense.
The first had me run miles towards the circle until, with about 40 people to go, I find a Dacia with limited fuel. I end up using it literally all the way to the end, as I run out of fuel in the final circle with 3 people alive - I chose this tactic because my equipment wasn't good. I jump off the car and shoot down a guy who was hiding behind a rock, but then the 3rd guy comes around with the best weapons and kills me right after. So close, #2.
Last one was intense, I camped half an hour (figuratively) inside a garage with a Dacia in it, I only had to leave with it with about 30 people left. So I went for it but I ended up getting my wheel shot out, so I have to do a lot of running to get to the final circles. The last circles are all on top of the highest mountains. I sneak up behind a up and get his tons of loot by killing him, getting even like 6 medkits which I end up using to stay out the circle a little bit. In the final shootout with 3 people to go I find myself in the middle of two shooting people and die. #3.
After some disappointing matches early on I got some redemption with these matches that pushed me very high up in the EU servers. Ironically I only won twice on my first two days of playing, never again since (I only play solo), but the regular top 10s are paying off in the ranking. But I still want that win that's been missing for like 3 weeks now.

I never thought I would enjoy this game but I wholeheartedly do. I prefer objective based multiplayer and have always hated the KotH types of gameplay. Not really sure what changed with me, but this is fun.
The best finish I've had is #4 and I should've been higher if not for my #1 complaint, aiming. Jesus it shouldn't be so hard to kill someone with a shotgun at point blank range.

Crashing just seems to be more and more frequent now. I can't even play a game without crashing anymore. Next patch can't come soon enough.
Play a solo game just about as stealthy as I can, only kills coming from when four of us happened to enter a small compound at the same time and I came out on top. As the circles get smaller and smaller, in the top 10, there are five people in cars driving around trying to hit people. Out of the final five people, of which I died as #5, four were in vehicles. I got run over trying to stealth crawl to the final circle.
What the fuck. This is so dumb.

Sound needs to get patched. Game is very selective in who I can hear moving
Just ran into cheaters. They shot my team through a house. We weren't in windows or anything. Shot from outside through the wall and through the floor. Game has become utter crap since this last patch.
Now I just randomly lagged through a guard rail on a motorcycle and blew up. I'm done.

Microsoft is rebooting their azure platform because of the CPU bugs discovered.
The shooting through walls thing happens when an asset doesn't load to other players, ie, your house. You are inside, but to them you're standing or laying out in the open, possibly even up in the air if you're on a second or third floor lol.
Either that, or there's just a really bad tick rate in that you might still be visible in a window to them even though on your end you've moved out of sight already.
I definitely got shot through solid objects like rocks already. I don't know what to attribute it to, I really hope there isn't foul play involved.
