Better FPS performance, new driving dynamics, and an improved overall feeling on the new PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) map. These are the experiences of the community.
On the test servers of the battle royale hit “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, players are currently battling it out on the new Miramar map. This will soon be activated on the live servers with version 1.0 and is already receiving a lot of praise.
Players report that their FPS are soaring and that the map “finally feels like it was made for PUBG”.
On the first map, players often had FPS issues. The game performed poorly on PC systems despite good hardware. There are positive surprises on the new map.
More FPS in PUBG – Miramar makes it possible
Many testers of the new desert map “Miramar” noticed that their performance on the new map is significantly better. On Reddit, user takaci writes that his frames per second in the game shot up steeply.
From a usual unstable 50-60 FPS, his frame rate increased to a stable 100 FPS. And that with a setup featuring an Intel Core I5-6500 processor, only 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1060 6GB graphics card.
Other players explain that they are suddenly experiencing better performance even on older systems. The new map seems to consume significantly fewer resources. A plus point for Miramar, as players frequently complained about performance issues and lags on the Erangel map that spoiled the enjoyment of the battle royale shooter.
Finally feels like a “real” PUBG map
The new desert map feels to some players like it is finally a “PUBG” map. Reddit user XeonisReaper writes that the old Erangel map from PUBG was almost like a typical modular map and that the developers placed pre-made graphics from Unreal Engine 4 on it. Because these graphics have varying quality levels, this results in disadvantages for the performance and optimization of the map.
The new map had designers who specifically created many buildings for PUBG. This makes the map more efficient for the machine’s performance (or later for the console).
Until now, PUBG players could only play on the Erangel map on the live servers. From this, the developers learned over the past months which types of cities or buildings work and which lead to problems or are less popular.
Miramar is not just a new map, but a PUBG map based on community feedback.
The weapons fit the setting – Gameplay of Miramar
With the new map, the developers are bringing exclusive weapons and vehicles that only exist on the desert map. This includes the Win94 weapon, which fits the western style perfectly.
In the video, Reddit user bobbyblex4 shows how accurate he is with the new firearm.
You get a good insight into the new map in the following video from Shroud. There, you can see how much the off-road environment has changed and that you are now significantly slower off-road than on the streets. Due to the many bumps and unevenness, you now have to think twice about whether to avoid the enemy masses off-road or speed through the city, drawing fire to yourself.
Have you already tried the new map, or are you waiting for the live servers? In a few days, PUBG version 1.0 will be on the live servers
