In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a nasty glitch caused matches to be won by undead players or to eternally remain undecided. This is now fixed, and a mode for custom games was introduced in the last patch.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has dealt with a nasty bug since the first major content update last week, which many players exploited or encountered by chance, ruining the fun: if a player was shot while reviving a teammate at just the right moment, the reviver remained as an immortal undead forever.
This is now over thanks to a hotfix, as is another annoying bug.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Hotfix eliminates undead and double reloads
As the mentioned immortality exploit led to completely undeserved victories or to annoying stalemates, the developers at Bluehole quickly responded and fixed the issue via hotfix. At this opportunity, the equally annoying Double-Reload-Bug was also addressed.
This bug occurred only sporadically but rendered the first reload animation useless for some players. The character diligently stuffed bullets into the magazine, but none remained in the end. In the first firefight, you had to reload again immediately – often with deadly consequences.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Custom Games are here – But not for everyone!
In addition to the two much-needed bug fixes, a new game feature has arrived in the battle royale shooter. From now on, there will be custom matches, where you can set the parameters, allowing only pistols as weapons or only first-person perspective.
However, custom matches will initially only be available for Bluehole’s streaming partners. They want to properly test the feature before rolling it out to the wider public. However, you can still join such a match and participate.
