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.

Speaking of spanners I got team killed by some clown for no reason. In my anger I messaged him back calling him a team killing so and so and am now voice chat banned by Xbox until tomorrow.

I thought our squad was going solid, i found a jeep, was taking us across one of the main bridges to military base as the circle closed. Someone is camping the bridge, teammate in the back seat tries to shoot him, pops me in the back of the head by accident, vehicle careens off into a wall and we all get ****ed.

Looks like you have time to shovel that driveway so :pac:

I'll just play solo until then ;P

Only got the game yesterday, but have just cooked up my second chicken dinner in solo.

Just a heads up for anyone playing squads, the revive action is currently bugged. If it's started, and then cancelled, it'll still go ahead, so make sure to properly down a person for now.

Apparently it's happening with medkits, bandages, etc too.

Won’t be playing again until they patch it.

Twice tonight killed cos when **** kicked off I couldn’t fire. My partner could see me firing but on my end I wasn’t firing (and certainly wasn’t doing any damage).

**** this ****!

My main gripes with the game so far are drop outs (just randomly disconnecting mid game), sound effects (horrible sounding footsteps etc) and hit rego (seems very inconsistent). Knocked up a couple of squad wins last night after finding a few blokes that had mics though.

The latest updates have definitely caused some issues. I'm also getting some random phantom footsteps near me occasionally, but there's nobody there. I can be in the wide open and it sounds like someone is running right near me.

It seems to be some sort of weird echo from your own footsteps. I've often found myself walking around an empty house and stop when i hear footsteps, end up chasing ghosts for a minute.

Fortnite is miles ahead in their engine at this point, but I have found PUBG far more satisfying still. Looking forward to where the game ends up.

I noticed the same in houses, always think someone is sneaking up on me. Have watched a bit of a stream of Fortnite, there is just something about it that doesnt appeal to me the same way as PUBG.

The building and breaking does my head in. I think PUBG could do with some proper explosive damage more akin to battlefield, but that is obviously not a priority atm.

Hit rego on fortnite is far better than PUBG, and thats the main attraction for me. But again, I'll still play PUBG as its better environment based play and the team work element is much better.

From the bug reports, it's playing both the normal shoe footfall sound, plus the barefoot footfall sound on every step. It's mental the amount of regressions that these guys are releasing

I had my first Squad chicken dinner over the weekend. I don't usually do squad, because you generally end up with eejits.

In any case, we lost 2 of our squad almost straight away, and I was going to give up....but it turned out my last squad member was Rambo. I swear, I did absolutely nothing, and he would have easily had over a dozen kills. When it came down to us 2 against the final 2 from another squad, I got knocked out from who knows where. He revived me, then i was immediately knocked out again with a frag. He went on to kill both of the other guys, and I got my chicken dinner while lying crawling around doing nothing :pac:

Must have forgotbto take out the actual shoe sounds too so there is a duplicate there

Watched a video of the 50 funniest moments on PUBG on youtube last night (granted they were on PC not Xbox) Wasnt expecting much but I was amazed how many I laughed out loud at. Even one that I was fairly certain was set up. If I wasnt at work I would share a link.

There are some classics, mostly involving proximity chat.

This happened to us the other night, wish you could record chat too

Spring Roadmap is up
https://www.playbattlegrounds.com/news/132.pu

short version: they're acutely aware of the poor performance and will be concentrating on that, patches moving to a 3-4 week schedule, test server to be launched for xbox, and Miramar (desert map) coming in spring.

The drop outs have been doing my head in atm.

Test server on console is unusual, can't think of any other games that have one?

Fortnite runs a PTR playlist for changes. Xbox is typically limited to introducing new characters and maps into separate playlsits until theyve been reasonably tested for competitive.

Battlefield 4 definitely had one. But that game was such a mess at launch that drastic actions were needed.

This is all good news and a positive step in the right direction. As it stands the initial investment has been repaid with the amount of hours spent and fun had, so anything to come is a major bonus imo

Agreed, Even though despite what I said last night. I did indeed rage quit. :pac:

I would say there is a very small percentile that did not get there money’s worth already.. I’m delighted with it tbh. with having a small child I’m only getting to game an hour here and there and it’s the absolute perfect game for it.

Really cannot wait to have both maps as options..

Also hope they bring the 4kmx4km map that’s going to the PC soon(likely a good while down the road on console though) as that looks like a deadly idea..
