It's worked for me lol that's the only reason I've installed it. Get notified about driver updates and the one click optimization is great. Also shadowplay is good.

No reason not to install it. And if your PC can't handle GeForce experience then might be time to upgrade from that Celeron haha

It's got nothing to do with a pc handling geforce experience, it's known worldwide as bloatware.
I'm not trying to get you to uninstall it or change your mind.
 
Well recently I've noticed PUBG performance be really good, never dropping below 100, hardly ever microstuttering. Early game server side is laggy but atleast my PC isnt dying.

Nvidia could take a lesson from AMD here in my opinion. AMD have integrated their recording software into their standard settings app. Why Nvidia need a whole separate program to use some features that should be native to their driver package doesn't make sense. The fact that you've got to register a GeForce account just to use Experience is an immediate putoff for me.

As for driver updates, I prefer to do mine manually anyway, with a clean uninstall using DDU.

It'll come man, drop places like potch, south George, yas, roz. Where you have time to loot up a bit, get a gun and then you can go fight in the town. Don't try to hide till late game. It just wastes your time and tilts you more. Play first person as well even though its harder to fight.

Rinse and repeat until you get better xD

This strategy works quite well, usually you want a few other people but enough time to get some gear. Then it's just a lot of time practicing killing people at close range with all the various weapons.

Eventually you'll get better. Also there are just times when it goes well and other times when it is shit. Like my last two evenings were trash and I would have to blame poor decision making for most of it. Previously I was doing exceptionally well coming close to chicken dinners.

At the moment I am trying to find a ablanve between accuracy and being able to look around quickly and loot easily.
Tried 400DPI with between 55 and 50 for in garage mouse sensitivity. Looting with 400DPI (I tab loot instead of using F key) is pretty slow. 800DPI is quite nice for movement, looking around and looting but less accurate.

I personally use my g502's DPI switch buttons in-game to switch DPI down when I'm going into a fight, and keep it nice and high when I am feeling safe so I can loot quickly and look around easily. I'm still shit, but at least I'm less shit than I would be without DPI switching.

I want to do that as well so 400DPI when needing to kill people and 800DPI for looking around and looting. I can do it on my current mouse but this mouse's software not having game profiling is really frustrating

you dont need to kill people to win, i once won a game with just 2 kills, and get top 5's with 0 kills, wish they would bring weather back, i started playing right around the time they did away with weather id think i would do a lot better with weather and fog to hide in.

I had an interesting interaction with a South African player on Wednesday.
5 players left, 2 teams...and then myself with a Kar98K, circle was in their favor, so I decided I'll go out fighting.

Take out a player by pumping his level 3 helmet with 2 Kar98K shots, he goes down like a sack of potatoes.
His mate instantly focuses me, I then proceed to smash him in the teeth, unfortunately said player is also wearing a nice fresh level 3 helm, he instantly takes cover. I then get pushed by the other team and die.
After the game I get a friend request from someone, I accept. He immediately attacks me, calling me a hacker and some colorful names. I then realize he was the plonker that I knocked 1st.
He proceeded to tell me he has gone through the replay (The game literally ended 20 seconds ago) and can point out exactly where I cheated and he'll be sending all of this to the pubg devs...lol
He'll also get all his steam friends to report me (He has 5 steam friends)..lol

Before I can even say anything he blocks me...

Reminds me of my Dota 2 days...SA players are just the worst

What mouse are you using?

12000 DPI masterrace lol. 5 in-game sens, and drop my DPI to about 8k when in gunfights. Need to drop sens a bit more though, as am having issues making precise movements in long range engagements.

Woah, that's insane.

I opened a thread discussing new mice options and have decided I'll stick to a cheaper mouse (very keen on a Logitech G102)

The g102 is a beast on a budget. Very good sensor, was actually going to get it before my girlfriend got me the G502 for my birthday. I don't think you can get anything that will track better for that price.

Lol yeah everyone I tell that I use a 12k DPI looks at me funny, but the G502 can do (native) 12k nicely and it lets me transition between RPG's and FPS without having to set up individual profiles for each game type. I haven't noticed any better tracking using lower DPI and higher sens so I might as well use the 12000 DPI the mouse has. It stays consistent without weird jumps and jiggles so I'm happy.

It's all personal preference. I just don't know if I could use Windows with 12k DPI. I could barely be precise at 3200 DPI xD

There was a G102 sold on the forum lately. Evetech has it for R350 but then they want to charge R150 for delivery :| (I wasn't worried about purchasing from evetech with Logitech support being great)

Takealot has the G102 I think, they should provide free shipping.

I've set my windows sensitivity to 4 I think, and disabled acceleration by unchecking the "enhance pointer precision" option.

I would have used them since shipping is free but they are charging R799 for the mouse which should cost R400 - R500.

There are plenty other places thought.

Wow, I saw them in September on the site for 350...

Definitely not the big question :)
South Africa does not have and wont ever have servers for the game because we simply don't have the numbers for it, it wont be worth their investment and it will kill the game locally; Orena have a private EU server.

When I play with my set squad - all local players. EU ping isn't perfect but definitely playable

Are you a fortune teller? Seem extremely confident there bud...

I believe we will get servers, facts below:
* PUBG is currently running on AWS - But they are definitely switching over to Azure in the near future
* Local Azure servers are currently in Beta and will be ready Q2/Q3 this year.

So it will only be ticking another location for their servers and bam we have servers up and running.

How will it kill the game locally? This game can still change up the way way its run drastically, smaller maps with less people are very likely.

You only need a 1000 players for like 10 to 15 games to be running consistently and I'll bet you there are quite a few more people in SA that play pubg than that.

Also you will get people from other countries playing on our servers too.

Great, you've got 1 game-mode running at peak hours, with wait times still far higher than any other region. Now fill up the remaining 5 game modes outside of peak hours like every other region does without extended wait times :)

Do you guys not think that the Azure thing might be more a case of ''if we build it, they will come'' rather then ''there will never be enough players''?

Ubisoft just recently confirmed that it will be rolling out servers for RB6 in South Africa when the Azure servers become available (probably their other titles aswell) and while I realise that to fill a 10 man server is alot easier then filling a 100 man server and that in the beginning there will likely be certain times of the day that are slower then others, surely it makes sense that if the infrastructure is in place that these companies start using it to tap into a market that has for the most part not been serviced yet, especially with the gaming industry growing as large as it is and the western markets becoming more and more saturated.

We had a long chat about this over the weekend.
SA player base is around 18 000 (Closer to 20k but not sure of actual number)

Do a trial run with 50 servers for a week, if the servers are full throughout the test then add another 50 and expand it like that.
For this to work they'd need to cut some of the game modes.
They'd need to make us the hub for Africa.

I'm not going to be as negative as clown Deity but yeah not sure if we'll get servers any time soon.
