Xbox One Game Preview Hotfix Improvements

Patch
Quick Take4 changes

PUBG Xbox One Game Preview hotfix (August 7, 2018) widens diagonal sprint angles for analog movement and repackages files for faster match loading.

  • Updated: Analog character movement — widened diagonal sprint angle so the character holds full speed at a wider range
  • Fixed: Load time improvements via repackaged files for entering matches
  • Note: Patch size is larger than typical for a hotfix because of the file repackaging
  • Fixed: Matchmaking and loading issues from the previous hotfix addressed

Analog Character Movement

With the previous hotfix which introduced analog movement, sprinting diagonally using L-stick became much more difficult. To address this, we’ve widened the angle of movement for sprinting diagonally. Now the character will be able to sprint at a wider angle before having their speed reduced. Sudden hard changes in direction will still slow the player down (as it will break your tendons in real life).

Loading

Files have been repackaged to load more efficiently. Now, the time it takes to load into a game will be quicker. After our previous hotfix, players had reported experiencing a number of issues while trying to load into matches and this hotfix addresses those issues.

Because we’ve repackaged the files to improve load times, the patch size will be quite large, despite this being a hotfix. We will continue to work on desync, sound issues and of course continue fixing bugs as well.
