    I've since got a refunded so waiting to see if it improves.
    The fps was dropping to as low as 15 during action and running around.
    I'm really not sure how you are not experiencing these regular drops.

    Didn't you get an X? You might be able to claim a free copy.

    How do you know it was 15 FPS?

    For me I would say it is low 20's but its still shocking especially when I am running it on an xbox one x which in theory can handle 4k at 30/60fps.

    It can but the game is only in Game Preview and only out a week so we are very early days. When Ark was out first it ran even worse I think.

    I think a lot of people were expecting a nearly finished product whereas I expected it to be dog crap. It's running better than dog crap so I've been pleasantly surprised.

    No matter how it's running it is good fun and that's what keeps me coming back.

    With my eyes
    There is no way it's running at a steady 30
    The dips and choppiness are extremely noticeably, it crawled to a snail in some cases
    Been playing games long enough to know this

    Its not running at 30, that has been confirmed. Digital Foundry did a detailed review. The game drops to low 20's on the Xbox one x.

    Take a read here http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-pubg-xbox-one-and-xbox-one-x-performance.

    You are right, it runs poorly but still manages to be alot of fun.

    I thought I heard people were getting it through ms support. Don't quote me on that though, I could be wrong.

    Oh yea, I'm not doubting that as I didn't mention anything about gameplay. Simply asked if the performance had improved with the patch but having to justify its known poor performance for some reason.

    I may get myself a set of eyes that can count FPS so ;) Nobody said it's running at a steady 30 either.

    lol, my sentiments exactly, I'd been following it for a good while with streamers on twitch and they have no end to issues too, so I figured the XB version was going to be fairly dumbed down. To their credit, for better or worse, its essentially the same game.

    If I was to list my own thoughts on stuff that needs improvement, Id say:

    1. Optimization, the plane is muck, and anytime action kicks off, it can be hit or miss on how the engine is going to react.
    2. Inventory, we need shortcuts to rapidly apply attachments - pick up stuff - for example - pressing Y to pick up all healing items, pressing B to pick up all ammo compatible with your current weapons
    3. Inputs - for some reason (and I know its a preview) using medkits etc is hit and miss for me, i'll hold down on the pad and nothing happens, or else the healing item flashes briefly and then goes back to the gun.
    4. Gunplay / Feedback - personally I could do with some feedback on when hits are landing, have had several gunfights where I believed I peppered the target only for me to lose, and have had fights where It looks like no hits land yet the target drops like he had a heart attack out of nowhere. - the blood mist cloud is inconsistent.


    otherwise, the heart and soul of the game is definitely intact.

    Have you shares in PUBG? :confused::pac:

    Ya I'm having problem with x input especially for healing someone in my team. A fee nights ago I shot one of my mates for the craic and downed him but I wasn't able to revive him. As you can imagine he was none too amused.

    oh, I'd also like the option to configure the views this way

    Left trigger - straight to first person
    Left bumper - tight aim on third person - this is unused in general movement so could be implemented, and still be used to hold breath when in first person.

    It was a rough guess and I'd say I'm not that far off.
    Odd that you are focusing on this. I think you know it runs poorly but for some reason it's bothering you!

    I'll stick to fortnite until they sort there game out I think!

    Hopefully they do though, the battle royale concept is brilliant.

    If you read my previous posts Mick they explain it.

    I expected something very basic when it launched and I got a bit more than I was expecting so I'm not complaining about it because I had low expectations.

    I was aware of the PC problems and thought the Xbox version would be an earlier build than that so was always going to be well behind that in refinement (even though that version doesn't run great either).

    I didn't like the building bit in Fortnight but I did have fun playing it.

    I wasn't actually here to discuss what you were expecting from the game. I haven't read any of those posts.

    I expected something much better from Pubg on the X1X. Particularly the way it was being hyped for the system.
    It's shoddy in it's current state.

    Anyway as I said ultimately all I wanted to know was if the patch addressed any of the performance issues and it evolved to this!

    Is there any ETA for new maps on xbox?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,437 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    I've never experienced anything near 15FPS on the ground. I've been playing since day 1 on both OG Xbox One and Xbox One X.

    Disregard lobby performance. This is horrendous. Even on my powerful gaming PC its all over the place due to what's happening at that stage. The map and loot is being rendered as well as matchmaking. It's meant to just be a fun area rather than looking at a loading screen.

    Parachuting is where the frame rate dramatically dips but is fine on the ground.




  • Might be focusing on the 15fps number. Again it's a guess.
    Its dips down to 20s and definitely dips lower in some cases.
    Again as stated multiple times, nothing got to do with the lobby or dropping in. This happens during game-play.

    In terms of feedback on shots landing, if you don't see a cloud of blood you didn't hit them.

    I haven't experienced it at those levels. I wouldn't play it at those frame rates. I'd still play it on the PC if that was the case. I have 34hrs clocked on PUBG on Xbox so far.

    You can only heal up a certain amount with bandages then they won't work anymore. You need painkillers or energy drink to begin recovery on the rest of your health.

    if you were to follow the PC deployment, i'd say you're looking at six months or more away at best.

    that explains it so, I was on the edge of one of the final circles and my plan was to heal to max, let the forcefield come in then take a little damage as I ran the last bit, to try and be the last man into the safe zone. I had a big medkit and about 80% health but it wouldn't let me use it.

    Also - does the forcefield get stronger, the closer it gets to the final circle? I died in the above scenario, even though I had a relatively short distance to travel. The night before in squads, we got caught outside early in the game but we seemed to last for ages
