Eerder werd al bekend dat de Miramar-map, die eerder al op pc verscheen, deze maand naar de Xbox One-versie van PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds zou komen en sinds eind vorige maand is de map al te testen. Nu is het moment bijna aangebroken: morgen kunnen Xbox One-bezitters aan de slag met de definitieve versie van de woestijnmap.
Om 09:00 uur (Nederlandse tijd) gaat de map officieel live middels een update. Die voegt niet alleen Miramar toe, maar ook verschillende optimalisaties zodat de game (hopelijk) beter draait. De laadtijden moeten verbeterd worden, zodat gebouwen niet pas laden zodra spelers geland zijn. Dit veroorzaakte voorheen problemen, omdat spelers vast kwamen te zitten in objecten die pas inlaadden nadat ze geland waren. Het nieuwe laadsysteem wordt effectiever naarmate de tijd vordert en er prestatiedata worden vergaard.
Tot slot voegt de mei-update voor PUBG features toe aan de Xbox One-versie, die pc-gamers al een tijdje hebben. Het gaat onder meer om emotes en verbeterde scope rendering. Check hieronder de volledige patch notes:
Optimisation and stabilisationBoth Miramar and Erangel have significantly improved overall game performance on the Xbox One/S/X and stability has also been improved. Optimisation and stabilisation is still the dev team’s top priority. Our goal is to deliver constant improvements. The free-fall and parachuting process has been optimized, leading to performance improvements during the initial stages of each game. The world loading process has been optimized, allowing buildings and their interiors to load simultaneously and reducing the overall rendering time. The handling of resources for unseen nearby characters’ movements has been optimized to improve performance of the game. Handling resources of equipping and unequipping items of unseen nearby characters have been optimized to improve performance during the early game and to reduce the likelihood of crashes Character inventory loading has been optimized, improving response time when opening inventory and reducing crashing. Unoccupied vehicles/boats have been optimized to increase the overall performance of the game. Gameplay
