i find the games are already so much smoother for me already, but if they can keep this 3 month timeline of extreme improvements to servers and tick rate etc it would really be awesome.
They've already made pretty massive tick rate improvements, especially in early game. But you can't fix one of the major PUBG problems, desync, via tick rate. Bad tick rate can make it worse, but the way PUBG is designed, if a dude has 300ms ping and you have 50, then you'll have moved on your side but he won't have seen you move yet. This is how people get shot while behind cover.
It goes the other way too though - if you have low ping and you round a corner you see your opponent before he sees you.
I think, but can't verify, that a lot of the problem is that the client side verifies hits. That's not bad when both players pings are low, but it's bad when one player has high ping. I think it's the source of (some of) the cheats too.
Frankly, I am not that enthused by the "fix pubg" campaign. Most of the things they propose to fix have been broken for 1 year or more, and everyone knew they were broken already. They didn't bother for the last year, I think this is some last gasp lip service, frankly.
I love the game, I play it almost daily, but it has many many problems.
Ring of Elysium comes to the US this september or october I think, that should be interesting.
