PUBG – offizieller Downgrade auf der Xbox One

Die Xbox One ist die bisher einzige Konsole, die in den Genuss von Playerunknown’s Battleground kommt. So wirklich rund lief es leider jedoch nie auf der Konsole. Mit einem Post wenden sich nun die Entwickler an die Spielerschaft und erläutern ihre Entscheidungen.

We wanted to let our players know that we are aware of framerate issues on the Xbox One X, and that this is a top priority for us. We understand the frustration that this is causing and we will be deploying a hotfix on September 18 to implement some changes that will help with this issue.

• Shadow Quality (Both Dynamic/Static) lowered
• Post Processing
  • Turn off Motion Blur
  • Decrease quality of Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
  • Turn off Depth of Field
  • Turn off Lens Flare
  • Decrease Eyes Adaption Quality
    • This is the time it takes for your eyes to adapt to the dark when you go from a bright to dark place.
• Effects
  • Turn off Screen Space Reflection (SSR)
    • This is the reflection from windows and such.
• Turn off Refraction
  • This is refracted light.
• Turn off Subsurface Scattering (SSS)
  • This is when there is light inside an object to make it look more real.
• Turn off Particle Light
  • This is dynamic light from different effects such as explosions.
• Lower the number of particles created

Auf lange Sicht ist es wahrscheinlich das zwei verschieden Modi Angeboten werden, wie bereits auch schon bei anderen Spielen. Zum einen ein Performance- und Qualitäts-Modus. Auf der offiziellen Website seht ihr das Statement ausführlich und bekommt zu dem Screenshots, die euch die Veränderungen zeigen. Nach dem Update am 18.09. erscheint am 21.09. der Kriegsmodus für PUBG.

War Mode will entail a new event with different settings. It is essentially a deathmatch-style game mode where players hunt each other in a static zone. If you are killed, you will respawn in planes that intermittently fly by. Teams get points for knockdowns, kills, and for reviving teammates, and the team that reaches the points goal, or has the highest points when the match timer ends, wins the battle.

War Mode will be available for everyone, at anytime, when the Custom Match feature is released in October.

We’ll have more details to share soon regarding the event mode starting on September 21. We’ll have a full set of rules and details on how to play, so stay tuned for details in the coming days.
