PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds received its first major patch and should run more stable now. Additionally, there are new servers.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is set to receive a patch every week that fixes bugs, increases performance, and improves stability. The first of these patches was released yesterday, on March 31, and improved both performance and gameplay.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Better Server Stability
The first patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is 4.2 gigabytes in size and adds new servers for South America and Oceania. Additionally, overall server performance has been improved, and crashes should occur less frequently now. In gameplay, the shrinking of the game world has been slightly slowed down to prevent frenzy and chaos at the end of a match.
Among other things, the first patch also brings the following changes:
- View Distance setting added to the graphics options
- Zone speed adjusted in the endgame
- Weapon volume adjusted in the lobby
- Crosshair removed in vehicles
- Condition of items on the ground visible in TAB view
- Sound bug while crouching and walking fixed
- Performance issues in inventory fixed
- Bokeh effect removed in spectator mode
- Bug with reviving teammates fixed
- Character creation bug fixed
- Vehicle damage bug fixed
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Weekly Updates from Now On
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is set to receive regular updates. The developers are following this plan:
- Daily updates: Improving server performance
- Weekly updates: Bug fixes and client optimizations
- Monthly updates: New content and balance improvements
In the coming weeks up to April 14, the developers at Bluehole are also planning improvements in frame rate, a better leaderboard, and a ping lock. This should exclude players with hopelessly bad pings before they ruin the whole game.
