Didn't play enough in the previous patch to really see how vehicles were changed, but they were so overpowered for a while. If I got a Uaz i was guaranteed a top 10 finish in solo.

I posted a video above that's a decent example. I'll get to Rozhok later and will try to get a cleaner video. The damage to people on foot seems like a big change.

What are the impressions of input lag reduction? Felt a little better this morning, but it's always super smooth in the morning for me.

In your video he kind of bumped you, what happens if you get full on run over.. I'd hate for that to not be an instakill or insta-down. If they're going like 10 MPH or something maybe.. but if I run flat over someone going fast and they turn around and headshot me.. that sucks.

For those of you monitoring performance, I've had my broadcast and capture abilities toggled off to try to boost the game's performance on X. In a game like this, I figure every little edge helps. Anyone else out there been doing this? Or feel that performance has been bettered enough to turn it back on? I'd like to be able to make some clips but I'm not willing to play worse in exchange for videos. Any input?

I stopped doing that a few patches ago. I didn't notice a change after turning it off. For the most part, on the X, it seems like most of my hiccups are now network related. There's some slow down here or there around some towns, or looking over a large distance, but it's smooth most of the time.

I agree with the vehicle changes, but only for solo.

If they could scale it between game types then hopefully they will.

It's now even more unplayable. There's nothing but screen tearing and it's making me sick

I'm also back to gettin two shotted again.

They need to slow down the updates and test them more througly. Theyre not improving the game the way they should be

"Two shotted" is not a technical issue.

The feedback on all these patches are about 50% positive 50% negative. It's the same people on each side saying the same things each time.

No lag or window issues, but I have crashed out of my first solo game since launch.

The input lage reduction feels pretty good.

Man, really nerfing vehicles. I feel like there should be a better way, as vehicles were only a problem at the very end, and this 'fix' makes them way more useless for the entire match.

I would think being loud as all hell and not really being able to aim well while driving was enough of a hindrance.

Personally I haven't had a single issue with "car meta" in Duo or Squad in weeks. I would have appreciated this fix been for solo only or something.

The rest of the bug fixes are golden though.

Despite my issues with the vehicles, I had a match tonight where I fully agree with everything you say here. I've gotten smoked by a car a bunch in singles, but it's always at the end. Tonight I landed at one of the groups of houses south of the military base in squad, there was another squad there and I was by myself because my squad sort of spread out across the houses on the beach. Some person chased me halfway across the plain to the west and their buddy found an assault rifle and they were shooting at me. I found a buggy and turned around to try to run over the unarmed guy, had to hit him 4 times before I even downed him. A 5th time to kill him. I also got 2 tires shot off of the buggy, which I fully agree with. That was necessary.

This is definitely broken after the new patch. Played squad with 3 friends and neither one of us could jump out of a window in any of the games we played. Sucks they broke that. Also pistols are still broken when you try to switch to them afte picking up a secondary weapon unless you use up on the D-pad...

Glad to know im not the only one with the window thing.

The pistol thing is on purpose from the last patch. People were complaining they didn't want the pistol to come up when switching weapons so they bound it to Up on the dpad. I actually prefer that. Too many times in a firefight I'd switch and with the pistol in hand look like an idiot.

I feel bad for you guys having problems. The patch before this wrecked the game for me but this one made positive results for me. The lag input fix really changed the game for me. I went from sucking to getting at least 3-4 kills a round.

Oh really? I never had a problem switching to my pistol in the middle of a fire fight. You had to press Y 3 times to get to it if you had 2 primary weapons. I liked it because if I emptied one of my primaries I'd switch to my pistol quick and finish them off. It's hard remembering to hit up on the dpad...

It would cycle through weapons. Pressing Y three times would put you on the weapon you started with. The problem was you'd have to track which weapon you were on to avoid switching to the pistol. Press twice to get from secondary to primary, press once to get to secondary from primary. The weapons on the HUD were also kind of confusing as your primary was on the bottom, so pressing Y would cycle up rather than down.

Last week, I was able to take down a jeep with 3 guys in it with a single xxl ump9 clip. The jeep wasnt smoking when they were close to me so I assume the jeep was in good shape.

I also aimed straight at the engine.

That is what I was afraid of.. a full speed collision should end with death for the person. The game can't simulate broken legs or hips or whatever.. but come on, man.

At this point vehicles are only good for actively avoiding people. I hope they walk back some of these changes.

Finding weapons is a lot easier than finding a vehicle, and the advantage you get from finding a vehicle (especially very early in the game) is substantially higher than the advantage you get from finding the best rifles.

At least, that was the case before these recent nerfs, which is why I'm very happy with them.

There has been times where I've been lightly tapped by a vehicle that's barely moving and I've died so I'm more than happy they've nerfed them. That video with the buggy seems a little on the extreme side though.

Man the enjoyment level of this game can very so wildly depending on the composition of your duo/squadmates.

With the right people this game hits HIGH HIGHS that I've rarely felt in games before, but with the wrong people.. man it's frustrating.

I've started just leaving matches before they begin if the other person/people don't have/aren't using a mic. Too freaking hard to do anything otherwise. It is always enjoyable when I find someone with a mic on the other end "Sweet tap-dancing Christ, a voice!" I thankfully haven't run into anyone who killed me for my gear though, so that is nice. A lot of uncoordinated people though.

I need to try out the LFG feature for when my normal crew isn't around.

Does anyone know how the matchmaking works? Does it base it on your rank? If you're in a group is it averaging it out? I never thought about it before, but it'd explain why I don't seem to come across very many scrubs anymore.

So I noticed that crats in PUBG Xbox increase in price depending on how many you buy at once. They start at 700 credits, then the next one is 1400, then 2800, if you buy them in quick succession.

1) How high does that price go if you continually buy them?

2) When does that price reset back to 700?

I think it maxes out at like 7,000. It resets weekly. Not sure if it's Sunday or Monday, but it's somewhere around there.

Yeah it caps out around 7800 I think. And it stops letting you buy them at that point.

The reset happens sometime Sunday afternoon EST

Going to have to reinstall the game. It's not playable bc of all the stuttering going on.

Also last night and tonight I've seen groups teaming up in duo.

Oh that's what I thought. I was confused when I read the article though.

Have to wait till I get home! I think I'm going to spread it out over a while to use on cheap(ish) BP. I seem to be able to afford 3 or 4 per week as is with the # I earn.

I usually buy until its get to 4200 BP and then stop there and wait for the reset on Sunday. This 30k basically ensures that i'll always be able to buy a crate as long as I play a few games a week.

Just bought this game and redeemed a 2 day gold pass. When I launch the game I get past the first screen it asks you to press A and then it says I need to buy XBL and it won't let me continue. What's going on here then? I see that on t]my subscriptions page it says my gold runs out in 2 days so I know I've redeemed it properly. I've tried restarting the game and console to no avail.'

I thought I saw this the other day.. turns out I'd joined us into a squad game on accident.

Not sure how you'd even manage to team up in duos.

Yeah I don't know how it's happening but it been apparent which sucks.

Shooting is back to crap for me. No idea what I'm going to get game to game. I'm shooting people up close directly in the chest and it's doing nothing while they knock me with weaker weapons with ease.

what's up with the boats? They sound like they're constantly backfiring like a car or something. I thought I was getting shot at but it's just really loud bangs every few seconds. Has anyone else noticed that?
