PUBG on Xbox [preview program]

FAILSAFE 00

I thought it would be a good idea to have an Xbox specific Player Unknown's Battlegrounds thread.

Since PUBG on both Xbox and PC are in beta having one thread with multiple issues/feedback on 2 platforms could get messy. I hope the mods agree.

I have played the game for a few hours now. Mostly duo mode. The first thing I noticed was in my first game the graphics didn't look great. However from the 2nd game onwards it looked good. I am assuming there is probably some map content being cached so when you play it again it looks better.

The frame rate has been solid. I am playing on the OG Xbox One until I get back to my One X tomorrow.

It took a while to get my head around it after playing it on PC. There are a few short cuts on the D-pad that you should get used to.

I recommend upping the sensitivity to all the way to 10. It can feel sluggish until you do this.

*Be careful creating your character. If you back out of the character screen it saves the default as your character. You can then only change your character by using 3,000 BP to change it again. BP is the in-game currency. You can buy crates with it that award you with cosmetic items.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had savage elastic banding last night. It's a horrible sensation in any game.

Stone Deaf 4evr

have to say, I'm very impressed that they're patching already. I think the day before yesterday was my first time finding the framerate an issue, but that being said, there were 6 people in a house, shooting and a smoke grenade going off so to be expected.

Grahamer666

Aye, the frame rate is shocking. The anti aliasing improvements in this new patch are welcome too as viewing the horizon is horribly jaggy.
Also had to turn HDR off as the image was too dark. Hopefully they add an option menu as it needs it. Early versions of the test server on PC were too dark too but they have since fixed that.

So is the game really as bad as the reviews are saying? Tempted to pick it up as the hype from the PC version is insane, but most of the reviews are saying the game is a crap port for Xbox and the FPS really suffers.

Is that just PC diehards giving out about consoles or is it actually bad?

It's clunky, and the framerate is inconsistent, but it's terrific fun. If you go into it knowing that it's a very early preview, then you'll have a much better time with it.

For me, the main problems with it are the shonky framerate, texture pop-in, and a weird control scheme, but none of these have stopped me from really enjoying it.

Woohoo, got a chicken dinner, but I don't know how to screen grab on xbox...:o

Killed 3 people, one gave his position away when he started shooting a runner.

Got to the final 2/3 circles and there were six of us, 3 were driving around.
Was in a bush but then the next circle forced me to move, killed a player in a dacia and the other lad must have taken out the other driver.

I was in the tiniest of circles when I spotted the last guy stand up to move in - picked him off...:D

I know how to screen grab now though.

Nah it has plenty of issues, dashboarding, the lobby is brutal, the FPS can be as inconsistent as hell, matchmaking can sometimes show complete randomers in your team or the same player twice.

However it's also massive good craic if you're into this kind of game. My average game time on solo is about 25 minutes and that's when I generally start meeting other players so you have so much invested in the game at that point your heart is racing when you do get shooting.

For the price it's worth it. €25 is about half what a complete game would cost at launch so you take the bad with the good.
