Screen to TV yeah, seem to have lost a small fraction of the screen on the left hand side - only for PUBG

Have you tried Calibrating the screen on the Xbox to see if it helps? Another thing you could do is try a different format on the tv itself, I had a problem with it before and used “screen fit” on tv and it worked out

I've had that problem too, try going into your TV settings and changing the aspect ratio to 'just scan'

I'm considering getting an external SSD to at least partiatlly solve the rendering issue on my One S. I'm constantly having to uninstall games to make room for others, so I need one anyway.

Just to follow up on this, I put PUBG on an external SSD connected to my One S, and no longer do I get stuck on top of buildings waiting for things to render. It has definitely made a difference.

I also got my first ever enforcement on Xbox live after donkeys years using the service. I can only guess it's for telling a couple of guys who team killed me to f*ck off.

That’s interesting, basil. Do you mind me asking which make/model?

I've noticed the game crashes a lot more since I switched the Xbox capture back on (so I can capture any team killing a-holes next time).

Anyone notice anything similar?

Just in case anyone else is experiencing game crashes, I can confirm that I'm not having any since switching off Xbox capture. I'm on Xbox One X.

I got this Crucial half gig SSD from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0784SLQM6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I put it into an enclosure similar to this one that I had at home:

http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/dynamode-25-usb-30-sata-hard-drive-enclosure/331997/403.4.5

You just need to make sure the enclosure is USB 3.0.

I've also read that if you use an external HDD that is 7200rpm you'll see significant improvements, as the internal one is only 5400rpm.

I wouldn't recommend doing this just for PUBG, unless the rendering really really annoys you. I'd been meaning to expand my storage for a while, so I decided to spend a bit extra on SSD instead of HDD.

I did similar with the standard xb1, there was night and day difference between load times in games like witcher 3, doom and battlefield 1.

16-04-2018 02:28PM

Crashed and died twice out of about 10 games last night.

Typically it was down to the final 20 or so, meaning there was no chance of getting back in alive.

The loading times coming out of a crash are ridiculous as well.

Games out months now it's getting a bit tedious.

See my post above on switching off the game capture. Made a world of difference for me to stop game crashes. Supposed to improve the game's performance too.

Realised yesterday that I actually have a 256GB samsung SSD in a workstation I was going to turn into a media centre. I also had an external enclosure I got to house the hard drive from a canon thing I bought from bargain alerts.

Slapped in onto the xbox last night and moved PUBG onto it. It seemed faster to load. Didn't notice much difference on the plane or dropping - maybe buildings popped in marginally faster. But definitely a difference on landing. It was the first time I've landed on the roof of the high rises and been able to move and pick up stuff instantly! The roof loaded in before I landed.

Wahey!

Only played one game but I look forward to giving it a proper whirl later this week.

Welcome to the banned club. It seems that team killing is still prevalent in squads. Lord forbid you have a better gun than your team mate.

Akrasia · 20-04-2018 12:31AM

Played the game today for the first time cause its free this weekend. Lads, you weren't joking about the performance issues. Awful lag altogether.

GottaGetGatt · 22-04-2018 02:53PM

Can anyone recommend a Pubg proof deodorant ?

dr.kenneth noisewater · 22-04-2018 05:57PM

Seem to be getting killed with headshots constantly over the past week

AllGunsBlazing · 23-04-2018 08:08AM

Been playing this all weekend with only the one instance of it crashing. Wouldn't buy it for the simple reason that I'm absolute muck at it. Can certainly see why it's so popular though.

Snakeweasel · 23-04-2018 10:39AM

Blew my first chance at a chicken dinner last night. In final 3, wearing ghillie suit, sniper rifle with 8x scope, had an eye on a guy near me.
Panicked and ran at him and was laced with bullets by a guy in a house. Dont know what came over me, they were in a fire fight so one of them would have killed the other eventually

There's a steep learning curve but it's worth it.

Don't run from fights. Land and fight. You might/will die quickly but you'll learn much, much faster.

The only reason I'm still playing is to get one, will retire at the top then!

Took a(n enforced) break as really had no time to play anything whatsoever, itching to get back on, is it true in thinking that the test servers for Miramar will be up sometime this week?

tomorrow if you believe the internet rumors.

23-04-2018 01:20PM

I don't know whether they've improved the time to get back into the game after a crash, or whether it's faster because I've started to completely kill the game and relaunch it.

Over the weekend I was down to the last 10, so one of the last few circles, and the blue was just about to catch me when it crashed. I got back into the game in time to have a first aid kit (although died just before I finished using it). In the past, I wouldn't have even bothered trying to get back into the game at that point.

Trigger · 23-04-2018 02:13PM

Looks like the times for the test server are up, starting download from tonight.

Starting later today, anyone who owns PUBG on Xbox One can download the Miramar test server (called “PUBG Test Server”), directly from the Microsoft Store.

As the map is in an early stage of development, some aspects may not function as expected. For matchmaking reasons, the test will be limited to TPP on NA servers. We might make adjustments to this depending on how the test goes.

During the test period and beyond, we will be actively listening to player feedback and using it to improve the build, so please be sure and share your comments, questions, and concerns in the thread below! There will also be “bug bounty” rewards: 150 players who help us find bugs will get some swaggy in-game items.

Test Server Downloadable Starting:

April 24th, 12am, your local timezone.

Full Test Schedule Below:

U.S. (PDT) SCHEDULE
4/25, 4/26, 4/27: Servers available 5pm PDT through 11pm PDT
4/28 & 4/29: Servers available 11am PDT through 11pm PDT

EUROPE (CEST) SCHEDULE
4/26, 4/27, 4/28: Servers available 2am CEST through 8am CEST
4/28 & 4/29: Servers available 8pm CEST through 8am CEST

Servers can go down for maintenance at any time. If that happens, check our help Twitter or this post for info. We’ll update this thread with more information on future testing windows as they become available.

Thanks for playing!

See you in the game,
PUBG Xbox Team

Yeah, 1am to 7am our time. I'd say most Europeans won't get a chance until 7pm Saturday.

It's also TPP only.
