The full patch notes for the latest PUBG update have been released and beyond the Test Server for Miramar, there are also optimizations, bug fixes, and new weapons and vehicles.
Optimization and Stability:
Performance and stability are the highest priority issues for us, and it’s something we’ll continue to focus on going forward. This patch, we’ve shipped a number of performance and stability improvements for Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X.
-
The free-fall and parachuting process has been optimized, leading to performance improvements during the initial stages of each game.
-
World loading has been optimized. “Play-doh” and interior prop pop-in effects have been improved. (Players may still experience the play-doh effect in Miramar—we’re still working on this.)
-
Movement data for nearby but out-of-sight players is now handled in a more efficient manner, resulting in general performance improvements.
-
Similarly, when nearby but out-of-sight players equip or unequip items, this process is handled in a more efficient manner. This helps with performance and crashes throughout the game.
-
The inventory has been optimized, improving response time when opening it and solving some crashing issues.
-
Uninhabited boats and vehicles were causing some performance issues, and we’ve resolved this issue.
-
The process relating to weapon and item usage has also been optimized.
