A new update in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is supposed to fix serious problems. This includes increased pings, which caused frustration.

The last days were not easy for PUBG tournaments players, because a new update caused strong problems with the matchmaking. It was about a kind of region lock that should automatically assign players to the servers of their region. This resulted in malfunctions with high pings.

PUBG tournaments apologizes for the problems and has a first solution ready.

Ping problems in PUBG tournaments hopefully fixed

What was the problem? For PUBG there was a patch as hotfix a few hours ago, which should fix the ping problems. Players often talked about these problems in the last days, because the latest update #22 didn’t work as it should.

PUBG says sorry: In addition there is an apology to the many players whose matches were negatively influenced. The team addressed the problem on Twitter on October 8th, after many annoyed fans came forward.

PC Players: We’re aware of an issue where players are entered into matches where they have an excessively high ping. Our teams are investigating the cause of this and we will update you once we have more information to share. — PUBG Help (@PUBG_help) October 8, 2018

The solution: In the statement of October 12th, the team explains that within the last 24 hours they have released a hotfix to fix the ping problems. So players should be assigned to the right region in PUBG mobile.

Further problems are now being worked on. The fix for this will come next week. For PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds the FIX-PUBG campaign is currently running. A faster and better matchmaking is one of the goals.

That’s what they’re trying to do with the changes: The goal of these fixes is that PUBG mobile India now prioritizes sending players in matches to servers in their region. If the waiting times become too long, players will be sent to the servers closest to their region. This is to prevent players from having unnecessarily long waiting times.

Solution seems to work: On Reddit some players report that they have less problems playing PUBG mobile tournament since the hotfix. For them, the matchmaking correction worked. Have you noticed any changes in the last few hours?

Ping problems really don’t help PUBG mobile solo tournament players when this winter map is released soon.
