The development team confirmed earlier today that a new PUBG update would be deployed.
The small patch looks to have gone live on Battlegrounds servers, although some players have revealed issues.
Connection Closed error messages have been popping up for some who have patched their game
It’s unclear what might be causing the error and how long it may last, hopefully it won’t affect too many hours of gameplay for those who affected.
The official PUBG patch notes shared by Bluehole Inc. can be found below and mainly include tweaks and bug fixes.
PATCH NOTES:
Gameplay
- Decreased the Starting Island item spawn levels in order to adjust the item balance on the Northeast side of Erangel
Bug Fixes
- Eliminated the fire animation and effect that occurred in the Starting Airplane when a player was on fire from a molotov cocktail
- Fixed a bug that enabled a character to hold a main weapon and frying pan simultaneously
- Fixed a spectator mode bug of flickering weapon UI icons
As mentioned above, this will be the last PUBG update for sometime as the development team are now looking to build the full launch version in the coming weeks.
“Our development team is heavily focusing on developing the builds for PC 1.0 and Xbox Game Preview,” a message from Bluehole explains.
“For PC, we will be only focusing on doing our best to stabilize the launch build and we don’t have any plans to deploy patches to live servers except for this week. However, there will be features like vaulting and climbing which will have a huge impact on the game and need to be tested for at least a month.
“We will be running test servers at least three times in preparation for that.
“Through these test servers, we would like to conduct large scale tests for the content and features that are not in the live build and create a foundation for a very stable official launch.”
In terms of the usual leaderboard season start date, Bluehole have revealed they have had to delay their initial plans as they look to provide a better experience for players.
“We have been working on leaderboard optimization to ensure their stable operation,” Bluehole adds.
“It took us longer than expected to work on updating leaderboard systems so we need to delay the start of the new season to October 20th. We apologize for this change in the starting date for the new season. We will make an announcement on when the new season will begin later this week.
“We added KR/JP servers and all modes were added to the servers. In addition, we will be adding First-Person Squad modes to SA, SEA and OCE.
“FPP Squad mode was played the most everywhere so we decided to add Squad mode first.
“FPP Squad will be added later this week after we update our leaderboard systems.
“We will continue to monitor player numbers and provide updates when necessary.”
