Yeah the crashes are pretty bad in squad mode. I barely had any in solo, about 3 in 50 matches--not bad. But I crashed that many times just on Friday night when we were playing squads. Not good. Not good at all. Haven't done much duo, so not too sure here.
That makes sense about squad mode. I play 100% solo and I've only had 1 crash ever. Granted I haven't been playing the latest updates very much.
Try closing and restarting the game after every match. It's a hassle but it seems to keep it from crashing (mostly).
Yeup!
Yeup!
How dare they show a video that runs nothing like the game. They have some ballz. I'll give them that.
Yeah that was some seriously deceptive s***e.
I was hoping they would specifically address performance issues but no, just adding new maps/modes to a game that runs at 20fps...
They addressed performance issues early last week. The next patch(June 26) is focused on crashes and performance. It isn't going to happen overnight, though.
No. The game has been in development for 6 months...and still has 6 months-ish of development to go.
Look at how far the game has come in those 6 months. Performance, input lag, quality of life, etc have all come a long way. Is it perfect, no. Will it be perfect when it fully releases, doubtful. Is just a shame that the last patch went a bit backwards.
Before this last hotfix, I'd say the crashes were as bad as when the game first came out. The game was better was better, but not the crashing situation.
It's better now, but not as good as I would have expected it to be. But at least now when we can restart the game every time and be mostly crash free.
That being said, I look forward to a COD and BF battle royale game. It'll be nice to play something polished, and to play something (presumably) not as intense. This game requires 100% focus to be good. I look forward to having a BR game that is more casual in between PUBG sessions. And hopefully this game will be better by then as well. I don't see BF or COD having such an intricate loot system.

I have faith in Treyarch. Skipped the last two cods, but the black ops series is usually solid. They're good about weapon and killstreak balance (typically) and are usually good at map design too. Looking forward to the arcadey aspects.
It's Battlefield for me that is usually good enough, but rampant with stupid decisions. But I think I just don't enjoy the whole vehicle thing.

Took a little week long hiatus, came back yesterday and eat well.
Xbox - Hotfix June 20th
Hello everyone,
Today we’re sending out a hotfix with the primary purpose of improving stability and reducing the number of crashes players experience. A major bug fix is also included in this update. We will continue to release the update in multiple parts to give our players a better experience as early as possible!
PATCH TIMING
June 20th 01:00 AM PDT / June 20th 10:00 AM CEST
PATCH CONTENT
Stability:
A memory leak was fixed regarding character renders, increasing efficiency of the process and reducing crashes.
This will help with reducing crashes when playing for a long duration.
To explain this in more detail, each time a scene was changed, (Start Screen ← → Lobby ← → Ingame) the memory being cached for character rendering was leaking. This means that the cached memory wasn’t being released, reducing the amount of available memory every time a scene was changed.
In game, the memory is cached for every character within a 1km radius around you. This meant that when you died, causing a scene change back to the lobby, the cached memory was leaked for all characters within the 1km radius around you and became unusable memory. When transitioning to different scenes to and from the lobby, cached memory for up to 4 characters was being leaked (depending on party size).
This means that upon entering a new game, returning to the lobby or start screen, each time the amount of available memory would be reduced until reaching the ‘out of memory’ phase, which increases the probability of crashing.
Simply put, character renders stored in cached memory weren’t being released from the cache correctly, causing large amounts of memory to become unusable. Over time, this would cause the game to enter the ‘out of memory’ phase unnecessarily, increasing the probability of crashes.
Stability - Level Streaming:
We’ve made improvements to level streaming logic which will reduce crashes. The process of loading resources while simultaneously offloading the oldest stored resources has been made more efficient. The total number of resources stored has been lowered.
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug where vehicles would sometimes lift off the ground and spin rapidly
Our number one priority is to improve performance and stability.
Today’s update brings meaningful improvements to stability, reducing crashes, especially over long gaming sessions.This doesn’t mean that all crashes will be gone, there are still many causes of crashes which we’re working hard to fix as soon as possible.
Performance improvements are still fully focused by our engineers and we hope to have it improved as soon as possible. Based on player feedback, we’re prioritizing improvements to increase performance at the start of the game when landing, as well as when driving vehicles.
We’ll keep you updated with our progress as we work towards the next patch/hotfix.
Going forward, we will be providing more frequent updates to improve performance, stability and to fix important bugs. We will be pushing these updates as soon as they’re ready to go, rather than waiting to include many different improvements in one major update.
Thanks

Not specifically xbox related but PUBG related....
This reminds me of something...
Hello PUBG Xbox Community,
Everybody knows the old “spray and pray” tactic. See enemy, fire at enemy until they stop moving. For our first ever Xbox Community Event however, we’re challenging players to refine their aim and work together to achieve the ultimate shooter targeting goal. In a couple words? Boom, Headshot.

We want to see our Community earn a collective 4,000,000 Headshots within a week. M24, Shotgun, Crossbow, the method is up to you, as long as the Community works together to achieve this grand goal!
How to participate?
Everyone who plays at least one round during the event period (and earns at least 1 BP) will be eligible for the prize, should the Community complete the task.

Gotta be the lamest rewards ever though.
Not even a tracker in game either.
