Tips
Can confirm the Reddit post about improving frame rate by turning off DvR capture in settings under preferences. It feels like a solid 30 now. Playing on One S.

Patch 2 - 22 Dec 2017

Xbox players,
Sincere thanks for your continued feedback, and as usual please direct your thoughts and issues to: https://forums.playbattlegrounds.com/forum/178-xbox/
The team will continue to evaluate areas for improvement, whether its client and server optimizations or monitoring the current ”Car Meta". Our second patch is focused on quality of life fixes (weapon recoil for example) as well as trying to resolve some of the stability issues that have been brought to our attention.

We expect to release our next patch at the beginning of the year, but we will monitor player feedback carefully and will address critical items over the holiday break as needed.

Thanks again for your support.

This patch will be live at 1AM PST / 10AM CET / 6PM KST.
Please restart your Xbox after the patch goes live to get the update.

Optimization
Continued performance optimizations

In-game
The tuning range for the general sensitivity option has been expanded
Weapon recoil reduced across the board (Xbox Only)
Team UI will now correctly display voice chat status
Additional Localization updates

Bug
A variety of crash fixes
Fixed an issue where casting bar UI remains onscreen when spectating a target who died while using an item from their inventory

See you in-game,
The PUBG Development and Community Team

PUBG is a heart attack simulator. Consider it the deep end of anxiety-inducing PvP games.

I find playing with a group on voice chat helps, solo matches are far more tense and stressful in my experience.

Don't know how I feel about the Fire Weapon mapping also being for Grenade, especially the hold thing. I mean, what if your holding down for an automatic and accidentally do something to throw a grenade by mistake.

Yeah i was thinking that coop mp like dm was a little less fucking rage inducing.
but as you name it i think i am left out of this boat.

I am fine with racing games battling lap times. strangely

Is that Xbox Store link for a digital version? I didn't think you could pre-order game preview games...

So I picked up a code from one of the other key sites. Played a few matches. Definitely need to at least pair up for this.
 
Got a code from cdkeys last night. Game played really well i thought.
Res on the X is definitely higher than the 1440p i play at on pc, but the detail levels seems like low with some medium and high settings turned on.
Not to bothered by that though it looks good enough and game play is fun, more enjoyable than PC i think, but maybe because people haven't learnt to play it properly yet so i was bumping into alot of people just running around rather than being sneaky.
We'll worth a buy anyway

The impression from the other site seems quite positive considering this is an preview edition.
Will get this and renew my gold membership.
Wish PUBG have success on Xbox One.

It's pubg so you can't really go wrong. People can choose to bitch about all that's wrong with it, or enjoy whats good. I enjoy what's good and look forward to the future patches and improvements.

Renewing my xbox live gold for the first time in ages for this game, really looking forward to try it out tonight. Btw the game looked pretty nice to me on some streams yesterday, but I dont know what to expect on xbox one vanilla performance-wise. Any infos there?

Its only a game.
Just think how insignificant video games are compared to real life things.
It does not matter if you die in a game, just have fun 😀

Coming from the PC.....damn this is rough! It's hard playing at 15fps on Xbox X

Yeah this is really, really rough. I'm honestly shocked Microsoft are giving it such promotion knowing it's in this state. The framerate is constantly all over the place, and plummets during close-mid range firefights causing serious input lag. It's just not fun to play in this state. Many won't understand what's going on, but they will feel it when it happens - I've already noticed many blaming a lack of aim assist but that's only a small factor, the input latency is the real issue here. Plenty of shooters have had no aim assist and still been fine.

30 is a shame for a game like this but I'm fine with it if it's mostly locked - dips during spawn island etc are all fine. But when you're dipping constantly and fluctuating all over the place below 30 during key moments it just ends up being a mess. Firefights become laughable as people spray all over the place and empty clips missing most their shots.

Sidenote - the inventory management is reallllyyy bad too, but I'm not actually sure the best way to handle that using a gamepad.

Besides the opening section where everyone just crowds around in a small area waiting for the game to start I've not really run into any performance issues

Game is fun and will be interesting to see future iterations as it's currently in game preview

I'm having a blast with this game! The intro spawn area + parachute drop sequence sure runs like garbage, but once you're on ground it's fine. I just hope they keep optimizing it, to make it run smoother.
