Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has had many ups and downs since it’s launch on Xbox One and Xbox One X a few months ago and the team at Bluehole is still addressing long-standing performance issues.
“To put it bluntly, we are simply not satisfied with the game’s current console performance,” the developer said on their official website earlier this month. “Especially so during tense moments of onscreen action.”
Patch 11 is now out and here is the breakdown of what it entails, according to the patch notes:
The servers will be in maintenance from 9PM KST / 1AM PDT / 9AM CET in preperation for the new patch. Maintenance will take about 30 minutes.
Please restart your Xbox after the patch goes live to get the update. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Performance / Optimization / Stability
- Implemented texture changes to improve graphical performance
- Optimized vehicle profiles to improve framerate
- Additional fixes to reduce crashes
UI/UX (Inventory)
- The layout of the inventory has been improved, adding focal points to identify selected areas, a clearer button guide and tooltips
- Improved selection of weapon slots and attachments – players can change the focus and selection by using the D-Pad
- Quick scrolling has been added by using LT/RT buttons
Gameplay
- A counter has been added to show the number of players remaining on the airplane
Cosmetic Items
- Reminder to the community that the Varsity Jacket (also known as the PUBG5 jacket) announced last week will be rewarded to players after March 22nd 12:01AM. Look for it in your in-game inventory from March 22nd, inside the customization tab of the menu.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue that caused players to hear footsteps when no other players were in the vicinity
- Fixed an issue that prevented the blue zone from being displayed correctly
Additionally, here is what is being targeted over the next few months:
- Current console performance is unsatisfactory and the team has identified some key areas to increase frame-rate. By making changes to building materials and reducing foliage composition, PUBG should run more consistently.
- Optimisation to game characters and their movements to increase frame-rate.
- Optimisation of the number of particle effects that are spawned by vehicles and grenades to increase frame-rate.
- Optimisation of object collision complexity to increase frame-rate.
- Balance the work across all CPU cores to reduce streaming hitches when moving.
- Better quality assets and the speed at which they load will improve in the future.
