PUBG New State was closed for maintenance for about 5 hours yesterday, resulting in a brand new update that fixes a ton of issues found in the latest patch. The update will be available for download from the Google Play Store for Android devices and the App Store for iOS devices when it becomes available for iOS.
The game will automatically prompt players to download the update at boot, but players can also download it manually beforehand. It looks like this new Essential Update is Android-only, as the development team notes that an iOS equivalent update is currently in development and will be available for download soon enough.
PUBG New State Essential Update for Android Devices
Update details:
- Rollback from the November 29th patch:
- We have discovered an issue where the autoplay feature was not properly applied when using control scheme options #1 and #2 after the November 29 patch. For now, we have rolled back the updates that caused this issue while we work on an improvement.
- Error correction:
- Fixed an issue with abnormal character launch animations and controls that started after the November 29 update.
- With the above fix, control sensitivity will now be shared. A fix for this will be applied in a future update.
- In the meantime, we recommend that you use the control scheme option #3 if you control your character with a joystick.
- Fixed an issue that caused some character animations such as ADS to be implemented faster than intended.
- Fixed an issue with abnormal character launch animations and controls that started after the November 29 update.
The update will show up as an optional update until 5:00 AM (UTC+0), that is, until 10:30 AM. The update will then show up as required, meaning that players will need to download the update in order to play PUBG New State. The update will be available on both the Google Play Store and the Samsung Galaxy Store.
