New stability issues arose from the campaign
Afew months back, PUBG Corp announced a bug fix campaign called “FixPUBG.” The goal was to identify problems with the once popularPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsand fix them in a timely manner. If you’ve playedPUBGrecently, you’ll know first hand that the campaign hasn’t done well. There are still issues with desync and stability and while the game is in a much better place than last year, it is still a far cry from what you’d call a finished product.
Oddly enough, the “FixPUBG” campaign is wrapping up now because of “several new stability issues that arose apart from FIXPUBG.'” You can’t make this stuff up. An initiative to improve a game has resulted in brand new issues for the game. Just let that info sink in.
Still, not everything is horrible. PUBG Corp has outlined a lot of the tweaks that have come toPUBGsince August and the results do show improvement. Average framerates are higher than months ago, server response time has been lowered and matchmaking has been hastened, getting players into games quicker.
Sadly, anti-cheat methods aren’t really touched upon. The Steam community post mostly reiterates that hackers have been arrested and that fighting this battle is going to be never-ending. More information will be coming in the future, but cheaters, griefers and hackers are stillPUBG’sbiggest problem and it sucks to not have any concrete information on what is happening.
The post ends with a promise fromPUBG’sexecutive producer Taeseok Jang: “Build stability and quality are now our most important value, and upon that base, we will build new Battle Royale gameplay and new content…While we cannot say how long this will take, we promise you that we will give our best efforts to reach this stage as quickly as possible.” For a lot of players, that isn’t going to be enough. I honestly can’t blame them.
