The latest patch for the PC version of the popular Battle Royale game, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), will be rolling out on test servers soon and hopes to bring a few cool new features for players in addition to the usual bug fixes.

UI fixes, a detailed flight path, new crates, and more are all lined up for the upcoming patch. To check out what's on the way, here are the detailed patch notes courtesy of the team via their Steam page:

UI/UX

A marker has been added to the map that allows players to check the flight path of the plane.

  • The path is visible from when players are at the waiting lobby up until the point when they fall down to their final drop destination.

Bug Fixes

  • There should no longer be excessive blood effects when you're getting shot in FPP mode or while aiming down sights.
  • Fixed issue that sometimes caused blood effects to not show up when shooting other players.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing character silhouettes to remain visible while inside smoke
  • Switching weapons while prone should no longer cause certain animations to break

Custom Game Real-Time Spectating

  • In the lobby's custom match list, you can select an ongoing game and watch it in real time.*
    • Games that have the Public Spectating option set to "On" can be watched in Custom Match.
    • For private matches, you can spectate the game by entering a given password.

* The custom game real-time spectating function is still in an early development stage, and some functions may be unstable. We appreciate your patience while we work out the kinks.

New Crates
