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.

That’s because just talking x lets you do the interact action.
Can you imagine holding x for opening doors, picking up stuff etc?

Also Xbox users love their cars, at the 2nd last circle I counted 5 cars all circling each other out of 10 users.
On Pc that would be a death sentence for all of them

Yeah it's hilarious how people are driving around in the last few circles where that just doesn't happen on pc, I think it's because it's so much harder to shoot people out of them with a controller.

I find it near impossible to hit someone from further than ten feet away, so the chances of hitting someone in a car are infinitesimal.

While it's effective, I just couldn't bring myself to do it, kinda defeats the purpose of the game for me

the cars dont take that much punishment, its also more about positioning with rocks or trees, but thats not really any help if the circle ends in a wide open field.

I really want to like this game but the controls are the most awkward almost impossible to figure out in any game I know. Why is it you have to pull the trigger twice to ads? I'm loosing 1v1 all the bloody time cannot for the life of me get a handle of it.

I think you just tap the trigger once to ads. I usually only use ads when they are in the distance. Maybe try changing your senstivity as well a youtuber called The Average Sniper has a video up off his settings they are suppose to be better then the default ones I havnt had the chance to try them yet.

Raging here. Most annoying game ever. Landed on the big mountain at the north east and was raiding away. Seen where the circle was at the south west and started running. It's a bit stupid that you have no chance of getting back in the circle. Spend ten minutes running the length of the map to die.

Its all in the game yo. Landing on one end of the island and the circle appears far away means you have to get a vehicle quick smart. Looting can wait

Its just so hard to gauge whats lag and whats the game engine chugging. we were playing last night and there seemed to a fair old bit of rubberbanding. and Anytime I crossed the threshold of a warehouse it would happen.

I would have to say that I've been lucky when it comes to bugs, other people report lots of problems but for me, by and large its been pretty good.

We start calling out when we get a bit of lag. For us it seems to be across the board so all of us getting it at the exact same time so I'd say thats possibly a server related issue.

That looks a bit better on the One S at least

oh yeah...and if its a bike I shoot out my cars tyres and take the bike instead

[Deleted User]

I tried it on one occasion but didn't notice the tyres "losing pressure" so wasn't sure how much of my ammo I'd need to waste or could I take it that one shot to each was enough.

Considering only one can win, it's fair game really.

Might try it again.

I always shoot out the tires, didn't realise other people did it too.

I saw a fella streaming the other night and if he came across a car or bike in the wild that he didnt need, he'd shoot the tires so no one else could use it.

thats just feckin mean!

I do that too. Takes them longer to get out of the blue zone that way

Picked this up as it was cheap on CDKeys. Turning off game recording DVR and streaming in the settings helps loads with stuttering / lower FPS and I had to crank up all the sensitivity options, but totally playable bar the odd game crash.

Best tips for winning!? My biggest downfall seems to be jumping to a location where everywhere goes to, or spending to long looting and then spend 90% of the map trying to outrun the restricted field and then get popped off by room campers in the last 20.

There are many things but one I can think of is when you approach a location like buildings look around for signs of looting like open doors. If they are open redirect to some where else. Even when the doors are closed I move next to a window for a peek inside to see if there is still loot inside indicating that it could be safe to enter.

That tends to avoid many of the nasty surprises while looting.

Try to loot off the flight path. So if the flight path is north to south consider far east or west. This will give you time to do a good loot while many players are killed in the meantime.

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.

If you want to use HDR with the game just go to an area that's dark and increase your TVs brightness.

Most games that use HDR have an in-game adjustable brightness slider to help you get just the right brightness level for the HDR to be effective.

Unfortunately this one doesn't yet have a brightness setting so to counter it the TV brightness level needs to be increased.

Ya at a pinch it'll do till you get the turtles sorted.

Directly into the controller or using the wee thing you plug in with the volume control?

Both. I had one of the old headset adapter things. They both worked. I wouldn't recommend it but just thought that it was interesting.

Yeah big time. You can use a mobile phone headphones for comms, but directional headset is a must have for this type of game anyway as otherwise you have zero idea where people are coming from.
