If you dont have steam running and open PUBG through its desktop icon, it will start steam and start PUBG without checking for an update first, leading to the version mismatches.

I have steam running all the time and launch the game from the library. I do have my desktop set to sleep after an hour or whatever because I’m a responsible human bean and not a goddamned animal who lets his appliances run when he’s not using them. Perhaps that is the issue :iiam:

The 60hz server upgrade feels like it made a positive difference in the game. Gunfights feel a lot smoother.

Game... good ??

Dumb question here, but I notice my pubg updates never start immediately, they're always queued up to 10:48pm or some such nonsense. I'm sure I messed with a setting somehow, but can't for the life of me find it now. Anyone know where the timed updates for steam would be located?

Steam -> Settings -> Downloads. I don't think there is a way to make it download updates immediately, though. It tires to do some silly "habit learning" junk and download things during your typical off-times.

I'm fairly certain that the frequent 25mb patches have a part in that.

Yeah they're precisely why. idg why anyone complains about them, just set steam to autoupdate, I've never had to wait for one ever.

I guess it's possible it actually doesn't download the daily patch until you go to launch the game so as to minimize your monthly bandwidth use.

All I know is I took a couple weeks off and when I came back loot is no longer spawning until after I’ve landed again. Hopefully that gets fixed.

Boy, the molotovs can be game changers now. I had just done a full med kit last night and ran to rez a friend and got hit with one and didn't last more than a second before I was dead. It's hard to see what happens in the replay -- I can't even tell if it hit me square or not. But that's going to really stop people from camping buildings.

This is good because I've already been trying to convince my friends that buildings are death traps in the mid to late game but they haven't listened to me. This will hopefully change their minds

My downed teammate had crawled into a shed with its opening 180 degrees away from the enemy team. The molotov landed to the side and rear of the shed but the fire spread into the shed pretty nicely. I don't think a nade would have gotten us in there so it's going to have its uses. I died twice to them yesterday and can imagine them being a pretty effective end game denial of area attack.

What kind of magic did you perform to make Steam not auto-start on boot?

And why on earth would you take such an action, given the trouble it apparently causes...

Edit: Did they buff the Vector?

I don't have steam load on boot because then it starts minimized and there's no way to stop that and it makes me irrationally angry.

Played last night on the regular servers and did way worse than normal. Whee! Didn't even see like 3/4 of the people who shot me. Chances are the squad I was with wasn't carrying me as hard as I usually get carried.

man molotovs are fun now

also there is some kind of weird loving teleportation glitch or some desync lag poo poo going on, i'll see if i can grab a replay but, I was creeping up in ads on a building and stopped in some cover for a sec and then zip i teleported right onto the steps of the building I was looking at, right where my crosshairs were aiming. Tripped me out and also let me sneak up on the dude walking out of the building

in the replay it looks like lag, but my team mates didn't seem to experience it, thanks game I guess?

I have actually considered buying an old xeon, but haven't really felt the desire to for an extra 400 mhz.
By "4ghz easy", I mean mine is on 4.4ghz and took a lot less effort and voltage to do so than the old i7 950 took to hit 3.8ghz. It's a big jump in more than just clockspeed: you're also gaining 2 more cores, going from Bloomfield to Westmere, and from 45 to 32nm. It runs every bit as fast as my SB-E system does at same 4.4ghz overclock (and a fair bit cooler).

This has been happening all over. I was shooting at someone running and next thing I know he was teleported 20ft further off. I had a guy just appear in a field in front of me out of thin air. I am also getting killed a lot where I put 6+ rounds on someone point blank, watch the death cam and it shows me standing there not firing.

A lot of people have been noticing weird lag. Like doors opening slowly, items taking forever to pick up, even a little bit of rubberbanding. I'm wondering if it's related to the increased tick rate.

it happened to me again, I got stuck in the air(Like not a building that happens all the time in the middle of the sky) in my parachute for ~ 1 minute, when it was over I was in a field nowhere near where I was planning on landing and nowhere near my squad. Was kind of funny actually.

Like other people have said, more than likely the server's flat out struggling to keep up. Wonder if they foresaw this.

At least the increased tick rate makes it possible to generally interact smoothly with the environment. Like, now when I punch out a window, the glass flies instantly and the sound doesn't arrive half a second later. I've actually felt less input lag when picking up stuff, too. I have a feeling it has helped my shotgun game immensely, too. Like, it feels as tight as CS:GO almost.

That said, guns are still spawning at my feet after I land sometimes, so they still have work to do...

They might be running the test servers on the same set of hardware and those have their own unique problems (quicker turnover of players because matches last half as long for one).

Also Savage currently has a sound bug where any audio channels directly behind you do not play at all. So keep your head on a swivel cause chances are you might put a bullet in a teammate when they walk up behind you and then go to one side and you finally hear a footstep.
