\u2018We\u2019ve fallen short,\u2019 they acknowledge<\/b>
\nPlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds\u2019 development team for PC promised to be more responsive to player concerns \u2014 particularly over long running performance issues in the game \u2014 in a lengthy note to the community posted yesterday.
Performance, server-side optimization and cheating are the top priorities, PUBG \u2019s developers said, noting that \u201cwe\u2019ve fallen short\u201d despite some improvements to the game since its 1.0 launch back in December. \u201cPlayers have rightfully called us out for failing to address complaints about performance,\u201d they wrote, \u201cand recently we haven\u2019t done the best job of communicating about the changes we\u2019re making to the game.\u201d
To show even more responsiveness, the PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds team will push updates to servers once fixes are ready; in the past, they\u2019d waited on major patches to do a round all at once. \u201cWe\u2019ll announce each of these improvements in subsequent patch notes,\u201d meaning players may not know something has been fixed unless they see it for themselves.
As for optimization: some of the promises the developers make acknowledge some of the weaker and more aggravating points of the game. Most of these are related to things like frame rate drops, sluggish performance and stuttering. These are broken down into server-side problems (stuff handled online) and client-side (issues where the user\u2019s hardware is getting flooded).
For example, a client-side optimization promised has to do with vehicles \u2014 they create so many effects driving over multiple surfaces too quickly that they can overload players\u2019 GPUs. Character movement will also be optimized on the parachute drop, especially with a lot of players coming in, to cut down on frame drops at the beginning of a match.
And then on the server side, optimizing network code and reducing latency will mean that other players\u2019 basic inputs will be revealed much more quickly. The speed at which server transfer data will also be improved so that items aren\u2019t spawning in late after players parachute in. And server improvements should mean that weird physics affecting some vehicles will be resolved.
There is a ton more of what the PUBG development team promises to do \u2014 so if you play on PC, do give that letter a look, because it may address a specific gripe you have. Mainly, the performance issues seem to involve vehicles and then the rate at which servers update data. Those unoptimized processes manifest sometimes in things like image stuttering.
As for cheating, the devs called attention to the visible ways in which they\u2019ve battled and even worked with authorities to arrest hackers and cheaters .
\u201cWe\u2019ve introduced a variety of encryption based solutions to make it harder for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities,\u201d they wrote. \u201cWe\u2019ve also… refined the process by which we identify cheaters\u2014most cheaters are now banned within hours of using an exploit.\u201d
Not everything was about the bad news of fixing a problem or dealing with a malefactors. The team said the Sanhok map is expected to be live on servers before the end of June, and it will carry a new vehicle \u2014 the \u201cTukshai\u201d \u2014 a drivable three-wheeled vehicle like the tuk-tuk, or auto rickshaw.
\u201cThe team is focused on making literally every inch of Sanhok perfect for players,\u201d they wrote, \u201cwhether it\u2019s the texture on a rock wall or little unique trimmings around each of the islands houses.\u201d<\/p>\n
