Anyone tried the new hot fix. Once again I am hearing mixed reviews on this.
This update did some good but there is one thing that is a major problem. There is a bug where the game wont ready up and players have to dashboard out.
Hmmm...another solo dinner.
That was in the last update. Had that happen so much in squads.
Only done Solo on the new patch thus far and it was fine, then again, it was not too bad pre-hotfix either.

Finally got my 5peat (9 dinners for the night), and ended rank #345 in squads.
Felt worse off for me.
I want running into the 'memory leak crash' anymore though!
Except the reason why is because I couldn't make it to 4-5 games in a row because I kept getting plane crashes, 4 games in a row. Lol.
Two games in a row that didn't crash was my max and the previous patch i only crashed due to the memory leak crash, so I'm currently reinstalling to see if that helps.
I don’t think I’ve ever crashed in solo. It happens in squads. I’ve only seen it happen twice in duos to my partner.
Odd. I played 6 or 7(about 4 hours worth) squad matches on Friday night and not single crash for me or the 2 buddies I played with. Our only issue was the menu disappearing and not allowing us to ready up.
Hopefully reinstalling fixes it for me, it fixed issues I had with a previous patch so maybe that is the problem again.
Man, this game is frustrating sometimes in terms of consistency. Wearing a level 3 helmet, some dude one shot head shot me with m416 when other times I’ve taken a shot to the head by the Kar while wearing the level 3 helmet and survived.
You can't OHK a level 3 helmet with an assault rifle. So it is either a bug, some kind of latency issue and he hit you 3 or 4 times, or he somehow cheated. The latter seems unlikely on console.
Yeah I think it is just netcode. I get insta-killed sometimes but that happens in other games too. My ISP just upgraded me to even higher speed, but in games I don't even notice a difference.
I don't think very many people would risk their Xbox account by cheating.

Speed is largely irrelevant in gaming. All these 30, 60, 100MB speeds don't really do anything. Not entirely sure why you need nowadays but it will be 5MB or less. Upload speed is a bit more important but still, it has finite amount of impact once you get to a certain speed.
If anything, ping is the daddy when it comes to online gaming, and that is more about ISP and home networking quality, as well as distance.
Yep, sadly I went up from 30 to 100 and didn't even notice a difference in any online game I play. Only nice thing is downloads come way faster, but the lag is all about ping and other factors anyway.
Plus I know in many games, better connections get punished with lag comp. COD has done it for years. Destiny 2 is getting really bad too.
I was upgraded to 200 months ago. Only benefit I got was really fast downloads. MP gaming is still hit or miss on some games.
The new patch is 7.2 GB in size.
I played a few matches, 2 Erengal and 1 Mirimar and all seemed fine. Only played Solo.

Hello everyone,
This is our promised June 26 patch. The entire focus of this patch is optimization and stabilization, to improve the player experience. No additional content is being introduced with this patch.
Recently, we released two hotfixes with improvements originally planned to be included in this patch, as they were ready earlier than expected and we wanted to get them to you as soon as possible.
The hotfix addressed a memory leak issue and this hotfix reduced the number of crashes remarkably. Our matchmaking hotfix improved matchmaking logic, to reduce instances of players being stuck in queues for a very long time. Some players are expressing concern that they’re still having issues with lengthy matchmaking times, we plan to release a dev letter later in the week to address this.
Now let’s get into the improvements we’ve made this patch!
PATCH TIMING
June 26th 01:00 AM PDT / June 26th 10:00 AM CEST
Stability
Two changes have been made to reduce crashes related to being “out of memory”.
There are still crashes to fix. Our goal is to prevent crashes entirely, for all our players. We will continue to work as hard we can to improve stability.
Optimization
As we’ve mentioned in previous dev letters, our team is prioritizing making improvements which will increase performance at the start of the game when landing, as well as when driving vehicles, as these have been the most common areas of performance related complaints from our players.
PUBG tries to load all resources within a 1km radius of your player to ensure you’re seeing everything you need to see, to properly enjoy the Battle Royale experience. Although, loading all resources within that radius is negatively impacting performance. We’re continually making improvements to the way resources are handled to improve optimization.
We’ve already implemented prediction-based level streaming and elastic control for characters, which are two examples of systems which reduce the loading of unnecessary resources. We will continue to work on and improve the efficiency of these systems, to improve performance.
Below are all the performance related improvements we’ve made this patch.
Thanks

Two changes have been made to reduce crashes related to being “out of memory”.
- We’ve optimized the total memory required by both maps, with a significant reduction in total memory required for Miramar.
- The UI has been optimized to use less resources.

Below are all the performance related improvements we’ve made this patch.
- Character movement has been optimized to use less resources and improve performance.
- In our patch preview, we said that we’re aiming to reduce the total resources required to render characters by 50%. This is still our goal, but requires further testing to ensure stability. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.
- Vehicle location updates have been made more efficient for stationary vehicles to improve performance.
- The position of every vehicle in a 1km of your player is updated very frequently, to ensure vehicle movement is as smooth as possible. Prior to this patch, frequent vehicle location updates were also being requested for every stationary vehicle in a 1km radius of your player, negatively impacting performance. We’ve changed the way locations are updated for stationary vehicles, which will improve performance.
- Vehicle effects have been optimized to improve performance, without affecting visual quality.
- When vehicles were moving, many resources were being used to generate visual effects. We’ve optimized the effects without diminishing their visual quality, to improve overall game performance.
- Bullet impact effects will no-longer consume resources if they aren’t seen by the player.
- When bullets impact any surface, an effect is displayed. Previously, all bullet impact effects within a 1km radius of the player were consuming resources, even if the effect wasn’t directly seen by the player. Due to the sheer number of bullet impacts that can occur in a 1km radius of the player, having all of these effects consume resources was negatively impacting performance. Now, bullet impacts not directly seen by the player will not consume resources, improving performance, especially in close quarters combat.
- Character shadow rendering has been optimized to improve performance.
- While we’ve tried to have each character shadow be an entirely accurate representation of the player, both in shape and movement, this was having a negative impact on performance. We have changed the shape and movement of character shadows to significantly reduce their impact on performance.
- Terrain and grass have been optimized on both maps (Miramar/Erangel) to increase performance.
- Parachutes have been optimized, they now use less resources.
- The physics while free falling have been optimized.
- The efficiency of the physics used while free falling upon exiting the plane has been improved. With this change, bullets will no longer be able to impact players in free fall. Players can still be shot while parachuting, this change only applies to free falling players, prior to opening their parachute. As it’s almost impossible to get to the ground, pick up a gun, and shoot someone who is free falling through the air, this change will not negatively impact gameplay, but will improve world loading times when landing.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes footsteps weren’t heard during or after ADS.
- Fixed a bug where the position of teammates sometimes wouldn’t display correctly on the minimap.
Thanks
Got that dinner on the first match on the new build. Yay.
I don't know if any of you guys play the PC version, but the update they had a few days ago... man, PUBG actually looks like a finished product now.

Played a bunch last night with some buddies on squads. It ran great and no one ever crashed. We got 1 chicken dinner on the new map. Only problem we had was the ready up screen. Some of us would lose the option to ready up and have to back out to the title screen or dashboard to restart the game.
I had a match pre patch and post match. You can feel the product in place.
My fire fight has been really good and truly white knuckles.
Much props to the developers on this update.
