Nope, but yesterday was playing on the Miramar and up one of hills in a small gully I saw two players just standing there, no loot or anything. Not reacting when shot either.
This was near centre of the map, and got me thinking that it could be how bots work now. Maybe they land and try to survive as long at they can as chances are the circles are more likely to be in the middleish.
Anyone see anything like this?

I'll have you know I pay 900$ per month with my mom's Amex Centurion Card for the most up-to-date bespoke hacks. It can't be my cheats they are elite

They're fixing it according to the pubg support twitter so I just have to chill for a bit apparently.

Is a pubg ban a proper VAC ban? It's one thing to privately ban someone on your platform, but a VAC ban can often blacklist your entire steam account from VAC-enabled servers in TF2, counter-strike, and whoever else is using the VAC API

BattlEye bans only affect games that use it. So Ark, Arma, PUBG, Siege, and a couple other minor titles.

I got the notification this morning that the ban was lifted and it's no longer on my profile. It wasn't a VAC but a game ban, Valve essentially says 'take it up with the dev not us'. I just think their anti-cheat was a little overzealous but I don't mind considering I haven't seen a cheater in a game in a looong time.

battle eye accidentally banned like half the player base for maybe 20 minutes about a week ago. came home from work early and I was banned along with most people in the game I was in according to my squad that was left unable to find anyone.

I expect this to happen more as pubg devs try to learn how cheats work.

If they lift the ban does it still show up on your Steam profile, or is it removed there as well?

It's removed. I got two notifications, one for the ban, and then the ban being lifted.

Hopefully the snow map will be 4x4 as well. But yea, so bad that they took away map selection between Erangel/Miramar. I enjoy both, but it's nice to have the option for those times you get 5 Miramar or 5 Erangel in a row.

The world is a mess... and I just need to rule it

Patch Notes posted:

With three maps now in the game, you’ll choose between two “playlists” instead of two maps.
The Battle Royale playlist contains both Erangel and Miramar. Selecting it will randomly drop you into one of the two.
The Mini Royale playlist contains only Sanhok for now.
Select both playlists to be randomly dropped into one of the three maps currently in the game.

So no more map selection?

You can select either Miramar/Erangel or Sanhok. You cannot choose between Miramar/Erangel anymore.

It's probably about lowering queue times more-so than technical ability to add another box. Apparently in some regions they're pretty bad as it is with only two maps and two perspectives, it would get strictly worse with 3 especially given most people are going to play the new map. I'm sure they know people prefer erangel over miramar but this might be necessary to let squads from australia or whatever play first person miramar without a huge queue time.

I would say this is exactly it, and I can't imagine how bad the problem would scale if they tried to continue complete map selection when they hit 4-5 maps.

Hrm yes my post was entirely serious and not just making fun of the fact that the entire reason people wanted map selection in the first place was so they could stop playing Miramar for 10 rounds in a row. So it's a good thing they took away one of the few features they actually made in response to community input!

It's nothing like Fortnite other than "circle slowly closes in and you want to be the last person alive" imo. I have a ton of fun playing this game, though.

You might love Sanhok, then. Blue zones move in slower (so you can take fights) and the time between them is shorter. The time between them is dynamic based on player count. They are real good circles.

We'll see if the servers can avoid melting down. Savage was fine as a map but test servers are always janky poo poo. If they can get the new map to not be terrible on the live servers that'd be great.

Yeah oc queue times have been getting hectic but I think their matchmaking is hosed

Sometimes you will sit in a queue for minutes, cancel then requeue and immediately get put into a game

It's like whatever mechanism they use to spin up lobbies fires a bunch up when people queue then spread them across as a form of load sharing

But if you've got an uneven number of players lobbies get starved and if you are unlucky enough to be balanced onto one you'll sit there until you cancel

Maybe they prioritise games starting over filling all the lobbies so lobbies are put in a priority queue as they fill up.
