Players, as we have said on numerous occasions, we are committed to creating a fair play environment in PUBG and are always looking for ways to decrease the amount of active cheats and their users. As part of our latest efforts in this direction, we are adding a new way to report suspected cheaters in-game. Starting with the current test build (once the testing is complete, this feature will be moved to the live servers as well), you will be able to report players directly from the replay feature of our game. This means that you no longer need to be killed by a suspected cheater for you to be able to use the in-game reporting tool. We encourage you to use the replay report tool as it is an effective and efficient way of making us aware of the players who are undermining your enjoyment of the game. Please refer to the patch notes below for a more detailed explanation of how to use the new in-game report feature.

We have continued to stabilize the game performance since the 1.0 release. We will be tweaking a few things to improve the performance of the game without comprising any gameplay elements. For example, in this test build, we have reduced the visible distance while in the air - this will improve the performance of the server and client in the beginning of the match. We plan to make small changes to the starting islands too in order to achieve similar goals.

We will also be testing the new crate system with two new crates. We know some of you have been looking forward to this. One crate will be free to open and the other one will require a key. Every test server user will be granted 100 000 BP and 6 Early Bird keys (the new unified PUBG crate key that can open Desperado and Gamescom crates), so that they can test the new crates and the items within. Each time you spend BP to get a crate, you will get one of the 4 available crates. There will be a much higher chance of getting one of the two new ones. You can see the exact percentage values below. The BP value, the new items and the keys won’t be transferred to live accounts. They are granted purely for the purpose of testing, to make sure that everything stays stable once the test build is moved to the live servers. As always, all our crate items are purely cosmetic in nature and provide no gameplay advantage.

Please read the detailed patch notes below to learn about these and other changes and fixes included in the current test build and please keep providing your valuable feedback on our forums: https://forums.playbattlegrounds.com/forum/40-test-server/

Once the test build is found to be stable enough, the current patch will be moved to the live servers. Live server update schedule will be announced later on.

Players,
Today, we are going to deploy a patch and the live servers will be under maintenance for two hours.

Before we dive into the patch notes, we would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the intermittent lag and character position readjustment issues our players are experiencing during matches. Creating a smooth playing environment to allow our players to fully enjoy Battle Royale was one of our top priorities for PC 1.0 launch. However, a multitude of causes have triggered the in-game lag issue to become worse or happen more frequently in the last few weeks. In the process, we were not able to implement the measures to visibly address the issue more quickly.

Contrary to most expectations, there is a combination of causes that lead to the in-game lag and character position readjustment issues. The issues cannot be attributed to one or two causes and have stemmed from a combination of different factors which is why we need to continuously work on resolving and investigating the problem. We upgraded our game engine to the latest version and made changes to the game when we added new content. The problem resulted from these changes as well as several other causes.

In this patch, we have removed some inefficiencies in server infrastructure and optimized in-game servers to alleviate the problem. More specifically, we made adjustments to reduce the bottleneck during the game server launch phase and also resolved some server hitch issues.

Resolving the intermittent lag and character position readjustment issues are still one of our top priorities, and we are continuing to work on analyzing and fixing any remaining issues every day. After today’s update, we will be running some internal tests and deploying more updates to gradually mitigate the problem. We are currently examining several measures including server optimization and server logic modification to address the multitude of causes. On top of this, we will continue our efforts to further investigate remaining causes.

We will keep you updated on our progress going forward. We would like to apologize again for the inconvenience and we will continue to do our best to resolve the issues.

Please find the notes for the today’s patch below.

• Changed the map selection ratio to be equal for Erangel and Miramar.

• Adjusted replay system so that players can only view game replays from 3 minutes after death.
  
  • This is to prevent sharing opponent’s positions to surviving teammates immediately after death.

• Fixed the issue where some buildings and objects were not marked on the Miramar world map.
  
• Reduced occurrences of the issue where replays occasionally crashed back to the lobby screen.
  
  • On restarting a replay, it will continue where last viewed.
• Fixed the issue where the beginning of the Death Cam and replay was missing.
  
• Fixed the issue where players couldn’t earn BP.
  
  • We will update with a compensation plan soon.
• Fixed the issue where players could die unexpectedly from fall damage.
  
• Fixed the issue where bullets couldn’t penetrate particular fences from both sides.

Thank you.

Players, we would like to briefly talk about changes made to a current crate key to avoid any confusion.

The crate key you may know by the name of Gamescom Invitational Key has changed it's name. This doesn't meant that it is no longer available, in fact soon it will be more widely used than before. The purpose of the change is to accommodate an introduction of a new crate that will also accept the very same key. In view of the above, purchasing the keys has been suspended temporarily to to allow us to implement all the required changes. We hope for your understanding. You will be able to buy the keys again within a week's time.

We hope that you will enjoy the new cosmetic content. We will update you as soon as we have more to share.

See you in-game,
