1st Patch for PUBG (Xbox One Preview) Announced
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
you paid money for a work in progress and got a work in progress. not sure what you expected.
I think they're saying it's fine to be frustrated, but there's a point where griping is just griping, and you bought a pre-release game. There was nothing hidden or misleading about the reveal or launch. If you bought a digital version directly, you can refund it. Streams showing gameplay were live before the game was for sale. This is a topic on a patch that hasn't even posted in all regions. We're seeing solid 30 in outdoor environments, and generally 30 indoors, and generally 28-30 during the freefall segment (which had been the worst). Some patience will likely pay off. If it's not enjoyable yet, give it a few weeks.
Just try to get a refund if you can and wait until the game is actually released in it's finished state. If these kind of incremental performance updates frustrate you, then I don't think early access games are for you as this is pretty much what you can expect throughout development.
My friend and I have both experienced the game running better after the patch, particularly in the lobby and when parachuting. He has an S and I have an X.
You paid money for a work in progress. You are getting what you paid for.
That was your mistake, then, for not knowing what a GAME PREVIEW title is.
not sure that I'd call it an emergency, as MS have made mention of weekly updates and wasn't it released last tuesday?
It's not an emergency rush patch. It was stated last week by Aaron Greenburg they hope to have weekly updates.
For those of you crashing on the OG Xbox, try disabling the DVR. It helped me tremendously. I was crashing at least once every 2-3 games and I've probably played 10-15 since without crashing.
Do you work for Bluehole or Microsoft? If not I suggest you quit spreading misinformation
Might as well accept the possibility that by the time this game is in good condition performance wise, it'll be on PS4 too.
Of course that's a possibility, as is the possibility that it never makes it to PS4, as is the possibility it never gets to a good condition, as is the possibility that they get it to a rock solid 60fps
Or perhaps they are just making clear that this will receive ongoing performance improvements and we shouldn't by no means that if some performance issue isn't fixed by this patch it won't ever be.
There is also the possibility this will never release on PS4.
There is also the possibility this will release in the same bad state on PS4.
There is also the possibility this will release in a better state on PS4.
There are so many possibilities. Fact is: this game is not announced coming to PS4 at this point.
I don't understand these useless drive-by posts.
Hm. Alright. Input lag feels better though. But still not as good as every other shooter. Work to do. But they will get there. I'm surprised they have a patch already only one week after "game preview launch".
I'm curious about current user numbers. My impression is that the player-base is big, but after the 1 million count, we haven't been updated (and it seems like the match-start rubber-banding started shortly after that).
I have little to no doubt that it's due to the heavy server-side loads. I also think they hit 2,000,000 by the end of January--at the latest?
I wish someone would screencap the giant splash screen when you boot up the game where the only two sentences on screen are that the game is in preview and basically telling you flat out there will be bugs and perf issues, because it's fascinating how quickly everyone is willing to mash A to get past it and then hold everything wrong against the game.
I'm thankful for the patch and I hope their efforts remain (not necessarily this fast) consistent (once a month?)

Yuuup, it's a preview and I've gone through multiple other previews. Of course I expect patches, this one is just a little flat lol. Everyone get's so defensive about this game, guess I should have included that I am really enjoying the game itself. That should defuse some of this tension lol
Damn, all you need to take a chill pill. So defensive for a comment that wasn't even taking a knock at the game. Guess we all need to tread lightly when talking about PUBG. Look at my comment history and you will see that I was in no way bashing this game, holy moly!
What is Xbox Game Preview?
Xbox Game Preview is a way for our fans to preview and purchase work-in-progress digital titles, participate in the development process and help developers make Xbox One games the best they can be.
I think no one is "defensive". The majority just accepts and acknowledges that is is a game preview title for reasons.
The frame rate is bad. Frame pacing can be bad, too. Textures can be horrible. There are many bugs. There are crashes. Input lag is still kind of bad. I think no one here doubts that. The thing is: we knew that. They always said this is an early version. It's labeled as such. There is no irritating marketing about it. You get what you pay for. An unfinished version of a game.
It is really hit or miss for me. There are some games I've played with zero rubber banding and others where it is pretty much constant. Seems more like a back-end server issue than a client issue.
Yup, you're preaching to the choir here.
I'm on a launch Xbox and haven't experienced any crashes at all. Even though general performance is rough, especially pregame and when parachuting in, I've only had one game with a major technical issue and that was the day after launch when I ran into a house right after landing and somehow got stuck in the geometry between a wall and door. All I could do is wiggle my character and eventually I suddenly died with a message indicating I fell to my death.
For those of you that are crashing all the time or have friends crashing all the time: Is it in squad games only? Is it usually vehicle related? Are your hard drives close to full? Internal or external? How's your internet connection?
I'm playing on a launch model Xbox, about 70 GB free on internal hard drive, solo games only, and consistently have 40 Mb/s internet speeds. Even using a vehicle in about half my matches I haven't had any crashes. I'm also in the MS preview program so I don't know if I currently have a slightly different build of the OS.
I don't doubt these crashes are happening for some and must be very frustrating for those having them. I'm just trying to move the discussion to somewhere more constructive than sniping between the "It crashes all the time" folks and "it never crashes" folks.

Same. I've noticed it way more the past few days. Last night was particularly atrocious, but I think that was my own internet as I ended up resetting my modem and it all worked much better.
Likely the reference to an emergency rush patch. Someone from Xbox mentioned last week it was going to have weekly updates, or at least implied as such.
Your entire post. Like I said unless you work for Bluehole or Microsoft you know absolutely NOTHING in regards to this patch or the semantics surrounding it.
It's been passable on the OG since the start.
My only Chicken dinner was on an S. It plays fine.
If some outlets like IGN are reviewing the game pre access, will there be a new review after the first patch or after every patch? What does the process entail?
Writing out "first pass" is definitely a way to temper expectations.
Not sure. We're in a bit of uncharted territory here. IIRC, they haven't updated the Fortnite review in progress so...
Agreed. However, I'd rather them undersell and overdeliver than the opposite.
Sure, but the_land is saying that if someone doesn't work for Bluehole or MS they can't understand the semantics used. That is just false.
The patch definitely improves the lobby and the jumping for me. Even the lag improved a lot, but it's still far from perfect.
The server issues I seem to be having seems more akin to the server taking its time to give me full tick rate updates from enemies I'm engaging. Like, I first see some one and start shooting at him. Then I have a small freeze, get teleported a bit, and if he shoots back it's like I received many shots at once. But after this phase the server keeps us both up to date and I have a chance to fight back, for instance, I get able to hit him when it moves, and I'm able to dodge some bullets.

I've noticed the server seems to handle player activity as "sectors," in the sense that if I'm in a building, and I notice a momentary lag hitch (even on like the third floor), it generally means someone is in the area who hadn't been before.
There's no need to get in Minionite's face like this over what he said. He's not stating anything as fact. Chill out.
Sorry but I thought you was shitting on the update lol... lowkey getting tired hearing all that lol
The game is not in an optimal state but is a ton of fun, would take this game over many perfectly optimized games out there any day.
