Quote:Update: Brendan Greene, PlayerUnknown himself, has confirmed dedicated first-person servers for PUBG's next monthly update, despite prior reservations voiced earlier this week.

Following the publication of our original story this morning (featured below), Greene subsequently tweeted this:

A follow-up tweet reads: "We will bring 1st person only to EU/NA SOLO & DUO games first, and once we have polished the system, we will expand to other regions."

Which is good news for all you first-person fanatics.  

Original story:

Since its Early Access launch in March, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has focused its monthly updates on improving server performance, adding new weapons, motorcycle physics, and destructible environments among other things. One feature that's sought after from players is the introduction of an FOV slider, which it seems is en route in the via its incoming July patch.

As spotted by VG24/7, Smookie, one of the game's developers, made the announcement via Twitter in the wake of a recent livestream—suggesting FOV slider functionality has already been implemented internally. Due in two weeks, this feature will be specifically tied to the game's first-person view.

A dedicated first-person mode for PUBG may be a ways away, however. VG24/7 again reports that Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, addressed this very point via the game's official Discord forums.

He said: "Dedicated first-person servers will take some time as it requires a lot of work from all teams, [it’s] not as easy as just flipping a switch. Our game, platform, engineering, and gameplay teams all need to do work to make it happen, and they are all quite busy with optimisation work at the moment!"[/q]
En de patch voor deze week:

Quote:The latest weekly patch for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is live now on the game's test servers, and is due to launch in full tomorrow, July 13.

Focusing on bugs and UI tweaks for the most part, the Week 16 patch has finally fixed the irritating stutter suffered by the pre-fight care package plane. Players can also no longer shoot underwater from submerged vehicles, and are no longer required to press 'F' when opening doors that've been wrecked by red zone and/or player-fired grenade explosions.

A number of other adjustments have been applied—such as now being able to "always spectate your teammate's screen in colour".

Here's the list in its entirety:

Client performance

   Optimized Care Package airplane.
   Improved UI performance.

Bug fixes

   Fixed an issue where the starting airplane became immobile in sky at the very start of a round.
   Fixed inventory display issue on 4:3 resolution.
   You can always spectate your teammate's screen in colour now.
   You can no longer fire weapons in a vehicle from underwater.
   Fixed an issue when you could not pick up mags from some areas of the lobby (starting island).
   You no longer have to press the F key to pass through doors destroyed by grenades or Red Zone bombs.
   Fixed an issue whereby if you got knocked out while zooming in with a scope, you won't be zooming in when revived.
   Fixed an issue when grenades were not available to throw periodically.
   Fixed an issue of armed weapon not getting displayed on HUD UI, when switching weapons with number keys while having inventory open.

PUBG's Week 16 Update is live as of tomorrow, July 13.
