How exactly to setup PUBG Mobile
Choose your login wisely: You can play as a Guest, use Facebook, or Twitter to sign-in on PUBG Mobile. Facebook or Twitter means you've to get in touch to your account, but then you're able to sync your data, to help you switch to a different phone or tablet without losing all your progress.
Ready your phone: PUBG Mobile is really a demanding game and your phone must be at its best. Remove whatever you don't need on it, quit those other apps you may have running in the background. Turn off battery saver, turn off data savers, turn off night mode to discover the best experience. You could also desire to turn off auto-brightness - it would dim the game during the game so you can't see so well. Brighter = better.Prepare your network: There's not so much you can do here, but for a lag-free experience, you will need a good link with the PUBG servers. The mobile network will often have a variable speed so it's Wi-Fi all the way. Test your network speed using something similar to Speedtest (Apple App Store, Google Play) and avoid trying to play when another person is streaming 4K content. Our home Wi-Fi reports 5ms, and this works great.
Connect your headphones: PUBG Mobile has great audio and the speakers on your phone won't take action justice. Connect your headphones for a more immersive experience - it also helps you pinpoint approaching enemy.

Welcome to the PUBG lobby
Once you start the game, you'll load to the lobby where you can change the full selection of settings, select your game type, organise your friends, claim rewards and manage your inventory.
How to select your server: From the opening screen you'll see "server" in the very best left, with a drop-down menu. You are able to currently choose from North America, Europe and Asia. The server for your region makes sense, as it's likely to have the fastest speeds for you. Check the ping, you are interested to be green, something similar to 20ms, for silky smooth play.
How to adjust the frame rate: Tap the settings cog into the top right-hand corner, then Graphics. Here you'll find frame rate. If things are looking choppy, you might want to select low. If you've a powerful phone, try high.
How to create the graphics level: You'll be prompted when you initially sign-in, but you can adjust the PUBG Mobile graphics level too, to manage the detail. Higher is much better as you will see more, but that will adversely affect performance. Have a play with this particular and frame rate, adjusting if the game doesn't run smoothly - but watch on the ping too, to make sure it's not server lag. There's also an auto option - this can keep the game smooth and adjust the settings for you.
Engage HDR mode: OK, so this is a bit of a cheat as we're yet to locate a phone that reports HDR support in PUBG, however when it will come, you'll find the choice in the graphics section of the settings.
How to adjust the aiming reticule: Tap the settings cog into the top right-hand corner, then Basic. Here you can change the colour of the crosshair.
