Yeah I'm done.
Today maybe 15% of my shots actually connected. Game wouldn't even tag people standing still. I continue to get killed easily with weak weapons, while I put full clips of an ar into them to no avail.
And thats all on top of the crashing.
Played it on pc yesterday and it ran like a dream. Didn't lag once. It's nearly two months now and the game honestly doesn't run much better than it did at launch.

Love the rush. They thought they had me. Just a guy with a pistol. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/CrackaFett/video/43744975#t=98
I did hear a lot that Miramar is more optimized than Erangel, but in my personal experience I haven't noticed much of a difference.
I bought the game on release, played it a bit, then haven't really touched it for the past six weeks for the most part. The last few days I've been playing a bit, and I'm still getting lots of rubberbanding, buildings taking a long time to render, getting stuck in buildings that have only partially rendered, and lots of other weird stuff happening. I feel you.
I also feel like some of my shots maybe should be connecting more. I don't know if it's me underestimating how much I need to lead my shots/bullet drop, or other issues.
I love this game and it was working well two patches ago, but last weeks patch tanked the frame rate and caused other issues too.
Managed a lot of kills tonight. Last game of the night, I'm in the final circle with the AUG and 8x scope (which I fucking finally got out of a crate), forgot to put it back on single fire and totally fucked up ambushing a dude. Gave myself away and got blasted from behind.
*sigh

You've been asked about 20 times to show us a video of your shots not registering and then you being done with 2 shots from the same person. Do you have evidence of this happening so that we can maybe help out or are you just annoyed that you're dying?
If it happened as much as you're saying I wouldn't be playing anymore, yet you keep coming back and complaining about the same thing...
Have there been any talks about when Xbox gets the replay feature? I want to know how this last dude survived this?

Watched that clip a few times. Looks like you were shooting the hill in front of him. Then adjusted by shooting higher above him, then finally to what I can only guess is to the left of him because he wasn't really visible at that time and he could have crawled to the side during your initial shots. It sucks and I don't think I would have done any better in that situation. He clearly saw you first as he chucked out a stun grenade that was ineffective, but he definitely had the advantage of the high ground in the grass and him not being visible aside from when he popped up for a second. Being in the right position is everything in this game.
Can't agree more with this. It's so easy to record and share clips that there's really no excuse not to do it. While I'm very much looking forward to the replays being available, I typically can see where I went wrong in a gun fight by recording a clip of it and watching it over again.

Not sure if this site is getting hammered, but it doesn't load for me on mobile or desktop.
So i've been playing this game on the X ever since it came out.
Yesterday I was ill, so whilst in bed I thought i'd have a quick game of PUBG on my S in my bedroom.
This game is so much easier to play on the S. I swear it's so much easier to spot people, the input lag feels much less and the frame rate seemed better.
Tis a joke how shit this runs on the X.

Wow, is that the consensus opinion? I'm playing it on an Xbox one S as well and the frame rate physically hurts my eyes. I was debating getting an Xbox one x for the visual upgrade but you're saying that it's worse on the x???
As much as I appreciate the above tool, it makes for depressing reading.
Any chicken farmers looking for a crap apprentice?

I really don't think that's true, but we are all reporting vastly different experiences. When I play squads, my friends come over to my house and we setup a horseshoe of TVs around the couch. We run 3 Xs and an S, and the S is definitely the worst in the performance department. Crazy gear load times, impossible to see or shot from vehicle due to lag, and some heavy lag in firefight situations/large towns/or any towns/ aiming across open area/ too many people in a house/etc/etc.
My experience on the X seems very network dependent (not on my end 230mb down/30up). When I play during peak hours, it's choppy and there's a lot more of what's reported here . When I play at 6am (I've logged most of my hours in this period), I'm hard pressed to find issues. It's strangely smooth. I have 15 hours in total, so maybe my eyes have been trained for it.

I know it's not quite what you asked, but I have no idea why you didn't do a full ADS.
Because you were using the third person focus which is a lot less accurate. You weren't hitting him.
Back after another 10 days or so. The entire match I was rubberbanding like crazy. Framerate was horrible. Running towards places would take me way too much time since I would jump all over the place. Took me about 7 button presses to abandon a vehicle. No idea how S performs but on X the game is pretty damn horrible right now. It's absurd that I had better framerate, better hit detection, less crashes, less rubberbanding at launch than now, but here we are.
It's not just that he was using third-person focus, it's that he was aiming too low from what I could tell.
Additionally, based on how he died, it looks like the guy might have crawled to a different location and didn't fire back from the same location.
Finished 2nd times in a row. The circle has not been kind to me. All 3 times I was facing a guy who had great cover and i had to run out in the open to survive.
Also finished 2nd in duos last night and my partner was killed right at the drop by a guy who punched him to death, would have been a great win if I didnt choke at the end.

Just discovered last night that when dropping ammo you can increase the amount10 at a time by pressing up on the D pad. My crew has been complaining about manually pressing over 40-50 times when sharing ammo. Couldnt believe we hadnt figured this out before. We have around 30 dinners and hundreds of hours into the game. Has it always been in the game or was it added recently?
It's been that way from the start. Same when picking up ammo, you can pick up a certain amount and increase it by 1 or 10.
Back in the top 1000 in solo NA. All ready for the next patch to throw off my aim and rhythm!
So.. has anyone ever had their guns just.. refuse to shoot? I sprayed a mag from an Aug, closed the distance using cover while reloading and then went to finish the guy off. But the Aug would no longer shoot. After about 3 seconds of mashing fire I said fuck it and switched to my Mini-14. Which also refused to shoot. Shockingly I lost the gunfight.
Think I'm done with this game for a while. Can't get a match without bullets not registering, rubberbanding, glitches or hacks. Sometimes all of them in the same match. In this last match alone I somehow lost about 60% health as I walked into a room 20 seconds after landing. Nobody landed anywhere near and there were no noises prior or after. I bandaged myself up, for once with good loot, and off with a bike. Once the bike clipped into a building somehow, but no biggie. Later on I go on top of a mountain, only to be two shotted as I drive by a guy that wasn't anywhere near, despite having all kinds of protections. Just to end on a high note, it even displayed twice the "no more space" message, as if I was trying to pick anything up. This after a match where I was killed by a dude who got shot approx. 15 times while standing in the late blue zone for 20-30 seconds and still surviving. Had my share of fun with this game, but as it stands it's simply unplayable, I'll probably be back when the game doesn't drop to 15fps on X every minute or when shots start acting properly. For now it's literally just frustration, looting and exploring for 5-20 minutes only to have no chance to fight 80% of the times because the game doesn't work. How they got here from a smoothish launch in which I had no major glitches, no crashes, no hit detection issues beats me.
Im in the same boat as you. This latest patch really messed things up.....
Ok so I recorded a clip (using xbox) downloaded to my pc and brought the clip into Davinci Resolve. Its of a firefight where I felt the frame rate tanked.
The clip was 1080p @ 29.97 FPS as recorded. I cut out from just before my first shot till I died, 3 seconds long,
89.91 frames, I went frame by frame and counted 21 duplicate frames. Minus from the 89.91 gave 68.91 frames divided that by 3(seconds) shows a frame rate of 22.97 (23fps) during the encounter. I think Im doing that correctly cause other sections showed very few duplicate frames or none at all. I checked a few more firefights and they all dropped into the low 20's. These were fights later in the match, early on they are in the high 20's or solid 30 (29.97)
Makes fights in the final few circles very difficult thats for sure.

Control Type B. If you have a elite controller, map LB to the top right paddle.
Try to focus on shooting first. You may be able to end up in the top 10, but if you aren't used to the controls in stressful situations you'll die anyway. Practice looting as quickly as possible, but don't get caught up in maxing out every weapon you get. Helmet, vest, rifle, backpack and an optic is all you really need.
I'd drop at the school, or military base until you start to feel comfortable killing. When you've got that down, we can talk strategies to win.
All level 2 year, full health, got killed by a guy close range using a vss while o had a fully loaded ak. He downed me in like a second. I almost broke my controller. Makes no sense.
I would suggest the towns rather than school or the military base. You want to be close to the action so you have some control over the situation. Dropping school can be really demotivating.
Also, I think duos are easier than solo, so I would suggest following some random partners around.
But it does make sense. The VSS has an ultra-fast rate of fire when on auto - as in, the entire clip can be fired in less than a second. If you were at close range and he let it go on auto, it's perfectly normal for him to have killed you vs the AKM slow rate of fire.
I swear, most of the 'this game sucks, there is no way I should have died' are just players salty about being killed.
I think people would be less salty if the game's shooting was in any way predictable. When the framerate can tank any moment, rubber banding could fuck you up and not all bullets properly register, its easy to get annoyed. In Call Of Duty if you die due to lag or something you're back in action in seconds, here you might have prepared for the battle for 20 mins and lose to a glitch. I've had my share of chicken dinners and top 10s and it's simply annoying it still happens so often.
The vss is the worst gun in the game. Not only that but it uses 9mm rounds so while it may have a faster rate of fire the ak should be pumping out more damage.
How the heck did this guy not die!.....either that or all of my 20 odd bullets hit the stair railings!!?
Against lvl 2 armor, they are nearly identical. 2 headshots or 4 body shots for AKM compared to 2 headshots or 5 body shots with VSS. That doesn't include the fact that the VSS has a higher rate of fire and lower recoil. This game isn't about whose gun was best and with all the variables you need video to prove anything.
I killed two yesterday in the top 10 with the 9mm pistol, and I guarantee you they posted on some forums about the unfairness of that. This is fundamentally what the game is about. We can argue about the netcode, but you are supposed to have a chance to survive with any weapon, you just have to be the first to land the shots.

I think you were unlucky, but you were aiming far too low when he was on the stairs. You were already mid health, but it's difficult to know how low the other guy was at the end.
Sure and I'm not suggesting it's impossible. But I literally went down in a second with full life, and it's not as if I was missing my shots either. I'm not generally one to blame the game for my shortcomings but it just seemed way over the top.
The VSS is very useful since it comes with a silencer and scope which might otherwise be very tough to find. But if you don't have good aim or a stationary target, you need to be very careful using it.
I have no doubt that a lot of this is netcode. You were probably a bit behind what he was seeing/doing, and the server got his info first. Or he outshot you, but no one has the confidence in the game to say that.
Everytime I die, I repeat the phrase, "that's PUBG." Its helped reconcile the anger and I enjoy the game more now, lol. I still record every kill and death to see what I can learn from my aimpoint, movement and the cadence of my shots.

Yeah I shot a guy with no gear on with the vss up close and it took 30 rounds bc the game was running really poorly for me. Good thing he didn't have a gun and was trying to kill me with a pan.
A lot of the issues are just how bad the servers and framerate are. Their pr person on twitter said they're going to announce a roadmap soon, so hopefully we get significant improvements.
Man, I've been getting some bad fps drops lately. More than usual. Between that and the amount of damage I've been taking from bumps in the road while driving I might have to take a lil break lol.
