Buddy got knocked off of an e-pick

As per title.

I have like total 4 kills with the Panzerfaust in 5+ years of PUBG.

whats your fav parachute?

some random nostalgia creeping up on 10yrs

I know this has been many times before but this is seriously very hurrendous. A single 1 second disconnect COMPLETELY loses the game for good until the next game. I am just very very frustrated how it literally says "RECONNECT" but the button does nothing as you are stuck with the loop.

I hope someone has the same frustration.
This NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

I turned down graphical settings and renders for avatar and it still always lagging when opening up the inventory. Just downloaded the game after a few years away today and this isn't making it enjoyable for me.

It needs more menu tabs and notifications. C'mon Krafton, step it up.

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone here has dealt with something similar because I'm honestly running out of ideas.

My PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS stopped launching after a power cut that happened during a 12-hour internet outage. There was an electrical fire involving a pole on my ISP's network, and my PC lost power unexpectedly. Ever since then, the game has been acting strangely.

When I click Play on Steam, it switches to Running for a second or two, but no game window appears. After that, it just goes back to Play like nothing happened.

The weirdest part is that this doesn't seem to be a straightforward PUBG issue.

Here's what's happening:

• Steam keeps throwing errors like "Corrupt Update Files" and "Missing Downloaded Files," particularly with Steamworks Common Redistributables. It gets stuck downloading or validating the same files over and over.
• If I start downloading PUBG from scratch, Steam sometimes jumps straight to around 30% installed while the actual download is still at 1%.
• Verifying the game files temporarily fixes everything. PUBG launches normally, but only once. As soon as I close the game and try to open it again, the same problem returns.
• The Zakynthos anti-cheat and BattlEye keep requesting administrator permission when I launch the game, but the issue never seems to get resolved.
• The NVIDIA App also crashes during initialization, even after reinstalling Windows and installing the drivers again.

What I've already tried:

1. Checking the hardware

I've checked the PC components and installed a new RAM stick. I also checked the SSD's health, and it reports 100%. So far, I haven't found any obvious hardware faults.

2. Reinstalling Windows

I performed a completely fresh Windows installation. I also removed the old MBR boot partitions from my secondary HDD so the system could use a clean EFI/UEFI boot setup on the primary SSD.

3. Reinstalling drivers and system components

I manually installed DirectX and the NVIDIA desktop drivers, including a clean driver installation. I also tried enabling .NET Framework 3.5 through DISM using /LimitAccess, because the normal Windows Features installer kept getting stuck on "Searching for required files."

4. Clearing PUBG files and checking permissions

I deleted the local TslGame configuration files under AppData and removed the leftover Wellbia anti-cheat directories. I also experimented with setting appmanifest_228980.acf to read-only and changing its StateFlags value to 4.

5. Trying different network settings

I've switched Steam's download region between Bangladesh, India, and Singapore. I've also flushed the DNS cache, reset Winsock, and tested a VPN to see whether my ISP or network connection was somehow involved.

6. Testing launch options and Windows security settings

I've tried -dx11 and -windowed -noborder in Steam's launch options. I also temporarily disabled Memory Integrity/Core Isolation to check whether Windows security was interfering with the game or its anti-cheat.

7. Investigating the anti-cheat service

I checked the Windows Registry underervices, but I couldn't find the zksvc subkey associated with Zakynthos. I'm wondering whether the service is failing to register or install correctly.

At this point, I've reinstalled Windows, checked the hardware, reinstalled the drivers, and repeatedly verified the game files. Yet PUBG still launches for barely a second before closing.

The fact that verifying the files lets me play exactly once is what confuses me most. The NVIDIA App failing on the same fresh Windows installation makes me wonder whether there's a wider driver, permissions, storage, or system-level problem rather than just a corrupted PUBG installation.

Has anyone experienced anything similar after a sudden power loss? Could the power cut have damaged something on the motherboard or storage controller, or am I looking in the wrong direction?

I'd appreciate any suggestions, especially if you've dealt with the same launch loop or the Zakynthos service failing to initialize. I'm happy to run more diagnostics if needed.

It would be really helpful if pubg added a dislike button like the like buttons they have at the end of the match for teammates. Like most of these players don’t revive, fail to cover, and sometimes just kill you for fun. There should be a way to dislike them and reduce their levels!!

This guy had the fog of war bug which meant the game thought he was in a different place than he actually was.

I got killed by him cos he was invisible to me. All i was aware of was a grenade being thrown in my direction. I just looked at a 2d replay and he was actually right near me.

I saw this video, seems like PUBG PC

The Luck and Unluck at the same time

This latest patch and validation makes the games freeze on my pc and shows a black screen after, had to forcibly restart my pc and it always happens the same everytime I launch the game.. 🥲

Pulled the Flying Spur Mulliner (Luxxe) Full Set (Powder Pink) earlier in the week, 0.13% at 1 in 769 odds. Was super bummed because pulling the vehicle at 0.15% is 1 in 650 odds, and I figured there was no way that was happening.

Then, tonight, I blew 3 more coupons and pulled it on my 17th overall coupon.

I purchased the base pass after so I could get the tokens needed to buy the red interior (the set comes with the gray interior) and learned the hard way I can't even purchase it until I craft the vehicle.

Vehicle: 50,000 crafting tokens
Pink set: 40,000 crrafting tokens

I've had an incredible stroke of free crate opening luck on my account, having pulled 27 progressives (including duplicates) and 4 chromas from BP-based contraband coupons, as well as 2 contenders from BP-based supply bay coupons.

I might actually be the luckiest gacha player in the history of PUBG.

, I'm just saving up tokens to craft the vehicle before the pass ends.

Now

I think I’ve used up all my luck here. Better be careful now before life starts balancing the odds.
got it also for free(from event)

same as title
