    It's absolutely brilliant, but only if you're able to put up with a very variable framerate.

    The game itself is pretty solid, with not many bugs at all, but it's not optimised at all right now. It is getting better, and they've already released a couple of patches, but this is most definitely an early "Early Access" game.

    It's still great fun though, if you can ignore those issues.

    I'm slowly getting better.... I think....

    Managed to get another top ten, while picking up two kills, which were actually my best kills as well, stalked a person, slaughtered him in a shack, then down to the last few circles, I ducked into a house, heard a guy drive into the zone, picked him off from across the zone.

    Died a bit later because I got cocky, but ah well.

    It's a tough but enjoyable game well worth giving it a try,only problem for me is it has no beginner levels I got it 3days ago and I still haven't made my first kill! About 3_4 hrs each day it's scary tough but I am slowly getting the hang of it

    There is no shame in having a protein shake before bed. Its the perfect chicken dinner replacement to have before crying yourself to sleep. Its my humility meal when a night of PUBG just goes bad :P

    I think I'm getting the hang of this game at last, really is a stealth game in my opnion. getting into the final 20 regular enough, it's the kind of game that gets under you skin when you understand it. Still think the controls could be better. Cant wait until the morning when I get my X.:D:D

    I play mostly squad with randoms, with only 10 or so kills after over 15 hours of play.

    Last two games got 6 kills in each, might be finally getting the handle of this game. Love the SKS with a 4X scope.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,065 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Mainly a question for pc > xbox players, but does there seem to be a lack of vehicles in the game on xbox?

    I watched a lot of pc streamers, on occasion they would not find a vehicle, more often than not though they would.

    Was up in Georgopol when circle came in, Sosnovka Island - could not find any vehicle anywhere...:(

    Sometimes you just get unlucky, they're a random spawn. If anything I thought they seemed more abundant on Xbox but that's probably just luck and a smaller sample size.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,065 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Anyone else getting "not authorised"?

    Have to quit a few times to get back in...very annoying.

    Over on reddit there were suggestions it was a server issue, was hit and miss for a while before we packed it in.

    Still lots of rubber banding to contend with, along with some screen tear. Hopefully there's some fresh patches in the offing as it's getting increasingly frustrating every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 832 ✭✭✭Blanchy90


    I've only had a chance to play 2 games. I got 2 kills and came 20th in the first game and in the second I came 38th with 4 kills.

    Really looking forward to playing with my new headset :)

    Yeah, I haven't played a huge amount since the last patch but I'm getting a little more intolerant of the unstable nature of it. While it's possible to get to the top 20fairly consistently by playing smart, once the bullets start flying it feels more like a coin toss. Plus, going back to something like Siege or even the division only serves to highlight how far the game has to go yet.

    I've given up and gone back to the PC version. It's just too horrible to play.

    Got my first win in Squad the other night. Managed to find cover in some containers as the circle was getting smaller, was able to kill 4 players, the last few minutes were nerve wrecking cause the circle got smaller and yet I was still within it at all times, some luck!

    New update on the server side, focusing on one cause of crashes, and lag reduction.
    Xbox players,


    Quick update; we’ve released a server side patch this evening that addresses one of the lower frequency crashes as well as reduces intermittent in-game lag.

    In addition we’ve made progress on the authentication issue that many players have encountered and we hope to completely resolve that issue soon.

    We are still very focused on releasing a client side patch that incorporates some of the community feedback that has been raised, as well as priority bug fixes. We’ll have more to share on the timing of that patch in the upcoming days.

    where did you see this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭GottaGetGatt


    Can't find anything myself about an update today. That must be the one before Christmas.

    The crashes have been pretty much every match now for me and others in the squad. Pain in the arse altogether.
