PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out

That's the loot gods for you. Can go one game finding everything and the next nothing.
Has anyone done the PC to Xbox One X jump? How did it go? I'm thinking about doing it myself, as my rig is lower end and performance in it is really, really bad.
Always been hard wired, and certainly not having the problems others have mentioned. A buddy who was having problems switched to hard wired and fixed "the lag" issues he was having.
Issue isn't just boats, driving a car in places with low levels of water will cause the vehicle to also make the shotgun sounds. I'll upload a video later to show.
About 5 days of playtime and only 3 dinners to show for it, still loving this game.
Not sure if this is what the PUBG devs had in mind when they ported this game to xbox, but holy hell I've ben playing this game on my Xbox S for a few weeks now and the frame rate and overall graphical issues are making this game borderline unbearable (even though i freaking love the core gameplay) and the game really makes me want to upgrade to an Xbox one X so my eyes don't bleed out on me. Well played Microsoft, well played indeed. Sneaky sneaky.
Yes. It drains more health as the game goes on. The last ring is brutal if you end up even outside of it for a few seconds.
i feel like this game has been running worse, after running better the last 2 months or so
So frustrating. Longer load times to the point that spawn island is skipped and Im on the plane with low framerate... And since they removed reshade, I have to suffer worse visuals to maintain 60 FPS
Its completely made me avoid playing for weeks.

They've been pretty good with updates, weekly for the most part. They had a little snafu with patch 7 and 8, and it seems like they have slowed for patch 9. What we've heard in bits and pieces is that the dev team is having trouble narrowing down the issues because not everyone is seeing the same issues. It really sounds like it's network dependent.
That being said the S and OG have a texture/asset
loading issue because of how slow the Hdds are, etc . An external ssd reportedly helps with that.
I have great internet and have never had issues with gaming through my Nighthawk router, low ping (30s and 300mb down/ 30 up). I bought a 50ft Ethernet cord and wired up this weekend, and my game play is really close to being perfect on the X.
I purchased the 1tb PUBG bundle that released yesterday, still havent jumped into a game yet though as I am a bit nervous. Played a lot of fortnite battle royale but I expect the experience to be very different.
I was about to say, it's been a while since the game has gotten a solid update.
Got my first Duo win today with 8 kills. Yesterday a my first solo with 7 kills. Both games had pretty crazy starts with me scraping by. Love his game.
Any one playing with an elite controller? Just picked one and would appreciate any tips.
Also what are people using paddles for? To replace face buttons or leaning, crouching and vaulting?
Also what are people using paddles for? To replace face buttons or leaning, crouching and vaulting?
I'm using the top paddles for "thumbstick pushes", so leaning. I'm using the bottom paddles for the bumpers so that I don't have to take my fingers off of the triggers.
Works pretty well for me and this is the first game I actually started using the paddles.
Use controller type 2, and I use one paddle. Top right paddle is set to LB. This allows you to traditionally ADS with left trigger and you can still access the zoom or breath hold with the paddle simultaneously. This also puts the enhanced third person in a quick to access place.
I also universally have the Elite Controller's paddles set to duplicate the thumbstick presses - it makes running, leaning, and functions in most other games so much more pleasant.
I wish I could pull that off. Even though I've been gaming for 20 yrs, and consider myself above average, I can't get the multiple paddles down. I think it's how I have to hold the controller. The quick, semi controlled panic of PUBg makes that worse. I like using the top paddles because they fit naturally under my fingers, and the simpler I approach this game the better for me in quick reaction scenarios.
I never got used to using all four paddles. Two of them just go unused completely. But just using two of them for the thumbstick presses is manageable for me.
How do you use the ADS with the zoom/breath hold? Or are you using control layout A?
I had the hardest time getting used to it. In fact, when I first got the Elite controller I tried using the paddles for Halo 5, which is a lot less complicated control wise than PUBG and I gave up on because it just didn't feel right to me.
I tried it again with PUBG and although I struggled at first, I kept with it. Now it feels natural and I don't have to think about it. I definitely lost a lot of gun fights at first as I struggled to get used to the controls, but it's worth it now.
Update on the next patch. Source:https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBGXboxOne/comments/7zpa5z/update_on_our_next_patch/
"Hey everyone! Over the last few days, we've seen
some frustration from you as we haven't provided an update on the next patch. We truly understand your frustration but please know that our dev team has been working on it everyday in the last few weeks!
We plan to deploy the patch in the next couple of weeks. As you may know, we still need to go through cert after development for this patch is done. And there might be delays if we run into any unexpected issues but we are doing our best to meet this deadline.
Our number one priority is optimization and improving stability of PUBG on Xbox Game Preview. So you will see some meaningful improvements along with some quality of life fixes in the next patch.
We understand that it can be frustrating to not get a patch or an update for over two weeks when we used to do weekly patches. But we want to make sure that we release a stable patch and make sure it improves your PUBG experience.
SO please stay tuned and continue to give us your feedback!
Our team will be addressing some of the important questions in our forum soon. So please stay tuned for that as well
We will also update the FAQ and known issues list next week.
Thank you for playing our game!!!
P.S. I WANT TO CLARIFY A SILLY RUMOR: there are only 3-4 people in PUBG Corp. working on Xbox?!! C'mon guys. This game throws ONE HUNDRED people into an EIGHT BY EIGHT KILOMETER map... that is impossible

Booted up the game again after another 10 days or so. Lost my settings again, framerate is still bad, had multiple network lag detected messages and some rubberbanding here and there, and got killed through a tree in the top 10. Oh well. Network seems a tiny bit better, but it doesn't look like any improvement was made since December basically. I love the game when it works, far more than Fortnite for one, but such jank (even in Game Preview) after 2 and a half months is worrying. ARK was kinda like that for the entirety of the Game Preview, and then the full game wasn't smooth either. Here's hoping this game will reach a solid framerate and netcode one day, because right now the frustration outweighs the fun.
Joined the resetera club, will probably be looking for groups to play with semi-sporadically. End up in top 10 about 45% of the time, win 5-10%% of the time depending on solo/doubles/squad. Not the greatest player ever but I do alright.
I will probably be on tonight after about 830 Central US time if anybody is looking to play.

That's all well and good poopieQueen but Fortnite dropped a pretty solid 60fps update. Your game drops under 15.Update on the next patch. Source:https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBGXboxOne/comments/7zpa5z/update_on_our_next_patch/

After 2 and a half months I expected to get closer to 30fps, not farther away from it... not sure about the technical reasons but the progress seems incredibly slow so far. After the first 2 patches or so I legit thought we could have fixed 30fps at least and 2 maps by the summer or so, but now I ain't so sure...
I'm glad I stopped into this thread and saw some of your insight into Elite controller set up. I generally only use the "A" button paddle in most games to jump. Seeing some of you reference peeking with them is a great idea. I might have to tinker with my set up now.
Fortnite is built on top of a game that was already running well on consoles and had a full release. It's also run by an extremely experienced team. Not to mention it has less complexity as a game. It's an apple and oranges comparison.

Whenever that happens I have to unplug my xbox for about a minute and it'll be fine.
Yeha, I am going to take a break from this game until they patch it. The game, somehow, has gotten worse without any patches. The lag is worse, the framerate is worse, my Xbox is suddenly crashing constantly, an even sound direction/location is off. This is getting really tiresome
Had a game last night. I spot someone and hold down the left trigger to look through my sites (control type B). Nope. It zooms in from the third person perspective...what? How do I go first person again I've completely forgot??? Oh, no worries they've seen me and I'm dead.
Check my settings. Everything has been set back to default. And I'm done for the night.
Cheers, game.

It happens to me literally every time I open this game, everything resets back to default. Six patches and they still haven't fixed it
Damn. Luckily it's the first time it's ever happened for me and hopefully the last. But I guess I'll have to keep checking every time I load it up now.
Ya, happens to me all the one also. Made it a habit to check controls before entering the game while in the lobby.
Too bad I wasn't able to record the last 5 mins. Got super lucky with the circle stopping where it did too. Fuck this game was intense. Except for that one guy laying down in the grass all other kills were 1on1 fights. The last guy I killed actually shot at me first that's how I knew where he was. The one in the grass was crawling before and I saw him while I was being shot lol.
This game is getting worse! Even the main menu is glitching! WTF. This next update cannot come soon enough.
That was nice, lol at the circle stopping right there. There has to be something off in the netcode or hit detection as there is no way those shots would have landed for me with a UMP9, I frequently miss half the shots straight on at closer distances than that despite supposedly aiming at the enemy :\
And I'm "glad" that I'm not the only one who noticed the performance is getting worse. I complained about losing the settings, shooting getting weirder, lower framerate, etc. etc. as time goes on, but judging by the posts above it seems that this has been happening to a lot of people. I really don't understand, I was one of the first to defend the state the game launched in: it was janky, framerate tanked during parachuting, but other than that it was definitely playable. Ironically I never even had crashes up until the 3rd patch or so, and the first weeks where when I played the most, too. They really need to step up their game, because if the game keeps on getting less fun to play, Fortnite and possible other BR games might steal its launch fairly quick. Fortnite in 60fps feels smooth as shit, and while I don't like it as much as PUBG so I won't switch to that, it's a simple scenario: there's a game that just works, and another one that crashes, doesn't register hits, tanks to 10-15fps, etc.. They better have some good patches up their sleeves sooner rather than later.

I got my best finish ever yesterday and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I decided that I was going to drop out of the plane as quickly as I possibly could. Jumped out and landed next to two houses. I gathered an energy drink, a shotgun and a crow bar. I got the notification that I needed to make my way to the circle. Pop open my map and I realized that I would probably need a vehicle to make it in time. I start running anyway.
I start sprinting. Looking left and right signs of other players and vehicles, I see a couple of people fighting each other. I sneak around the building and see a guy but I missed him. He runs off and I lose track of him. The guy he was fighting is still in the building. I decided that I probably wasn't going to make the circle in time so I jump in there and got my first kill. I didn't even try to loot the guy because I still needed to make the circle. I ran outside and I see the other player fleeing in a dune buggy.
I decided to keep on moving. I'm running up the side of a mountain and the map begins to shrink. The blue bar keeps on creeping up on me and eventually overtakes me and my health begins to drain. When it gets about half way down, I drink the energy drink and keep on moving. By the time I reach the edge of the circle, I only have enough health for one hit.
A new circle pops up, I check the map and it's about as far away from me as the space allows. What can I do? I keep running. Off to my right, I see a guy in the same position as me but I don't think he has seen me running. I veer off to give him chase becasue the only way I don't die in this situation is to kill him and get to the circle. He drops to his knee and starts firing at someone off to my left and I seen a death notification pop up on my HUD. He still hasn't seen me. He runs off to gather what gear is left and stops to give me enough time to catch him. Bam: drop him in one shot!
I loot his AR and keep on running. At this point, I realized that I had enough time to loot a building or two before I had to get back at it. I duck into a building and hear a car pull up. The guy gets out and heads in to the building next door. I make a break for his car. Get in and drove off.
I encountered another player near the end of the second to last circle and was able to sneak up on him with the AR and got his only health item. Healed up and headed in the last circle. I hid in the tall grass while I saw the player count drop from 15 to 3. Suddenly, this guy runs right in front of me and settles behind a rock. I took aim and hit him four times before he scurried away. I know where he is but I made a critical mistake. I got up from my hiding spot and he got me with a head shot!
Argh. So close.

I think its because of the number of games you play. The xbox only keeps the last 4 (i think) in this cache. So if you only play pubg, you wont have issues. But If you play a lot of games to the point where your 4 cached games change, then you lose your settings.
Oh yeah I've had that happen before. But the ump is still my go to for close to mid range fights. There's definitely some lag because last night I got killed by a guy before I even saw him poke and shoot. It was instantaneous.
Also remember if you sneak up behind someone don't use single shot.. Use full auto or else this happens!
And now I aim the weapon and it doesn't shoot. I press it twice, nothing. I die like an idiot. Whew, guess I'll take another break from this mess.
#metoo, glad I am not the only one! I figured is the drop in frames. Say, you press the shoot button in the exact time where the game misses a frame, then the gun won't shoot. That's my theory, but I don't have anything to back it up.
A game I'm reviewing (embargo and all so I'm not going to say the name) has a glitch that can happen in very specific scenarios that tanks to framerate. If it happens once it goes to 10fps or so, if it happens again after that it goes to about 1.5fps. At that point good luck going back to the menu, I get to press the button like 15 times to get there lol. So it's possible you're up to something, lower framerate: higher chance to not get your action registered. When a battle tanks to 10-15fps I'm not shocked that many bullets (or in some cases shots) don't register.
