Recently, PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) received a major update with important changes to cheat detection. Now it’s back – rollback.
With regular updates, the developers at Bluehole aim to improve their battle royale hit “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”. This not only refers to performance improvements but also to combating cheaters.
Targeting cheaters, the team recently released an update focused on anti-cheat measures. However, this seemingly did not go smoothly.
PUBG Rollback – Update withdrawn
On Sunday, March 11, Bluehole rolled back the latest update for PC players. Previously, the PUBG support Twitter account noted that they were aware of crashes related to the anti-cheat update.
The compatibility issues are the reason why the update is being withdrawn now. So if you noticed a small patch on Sunday, you now know the reason for it.
The problems included lags, stutters, and even crashes. The downside: these issues occurred not only for cheaters but also for “legitimate players”.
Now, thorough work on a solution has to be done to hopefully avoid these issues. In the meantime, PUBG must also do without the new anti-cheat features, which, according to developers, were supposed to be effective.
Additionally, they are investigating another bug that prevents PUBG from starting. Here, they are looking for insights from affected players in the forums of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
Players who are finally looking for improved performance can look forward to this year. In the roadmap for 2018, the team explains that they want to improve performance. You can see what changes are coming in 2018 on the roadmaps
