PUBG - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Dev Tracker

Have passed this on to the platform team and will get them to have a look into it.

it shouldn't be so loud that players want to do that, yeah :)

Hey all, I just spoke to the creative team (who actually had already seen this post and were discussing it) and the videos should be ingame with a reduction in volume compared to the original.

This is either not working as intended, or may need to have the volume reduced further. The team is following up on this as we speak.

I know this has been an issue in past videos as well (last season we reduced the volume on live ASAP a week after release). Sorry!

It shouldn't come to players wanting to do that, but if they do, no you of course won't be banned for it

If you could elaborate on the pro player point which you raised, and I disputed, that would be appreciated.

If I find it is a fault of ours I will make sure it's heard by the relevant team.

I understand the word foresight, but thank you for the clarification.

I just thought you may be interested in discussing the points you raised further, my mistake. :)

Coding the game in such a way that a gun's rate of fire is dictated by client-side FPS

This is pretty common in a lot of games, but we fixed this in PUBG over a year ago. https://www.pubg.com/en-us/2019/02/20/test-server-update-26/

Adding in-transit healing which may be canceled by vehicle movement.

This was an intentional balance consideration when we first introduced healing in vehicles, but you're right, we should look at changing this now that players can move and heal. F to suicide is an issue, for sure.

Requiring professional players to rename their accounts without providing the a...

Fair point, thanks taking the time to share your thoughts :)

Spike Traps and Sitcky Bombs both have their own bindings in the settings. Admittedly they weren't there initially for the first release, but they have been added after.

There are still snow covered areas on Vikendi, and other variants of the Ghillie are still available.

Do you think we should remove the white Ghillie entirely?

Not sure if that's possible technically with the way Steam API works, but it's something we can look into. I like the idea!

I spoke to the team about this and there are no plans to bring back trading. The temporary removal should now be seen as permanent, as we were unable to find a solution to the issues mentioned in the original announcement.

The main issues mentioned in the original post mostly hold strong still to this day, with additional issues of the impact to players who have their account compromised and items stolen. While the account is often recovered, it's less common to get items recovered.

This is something I'm going to discuss with the team further, especially as we look to enable 2 factor auth with SMS in the near future, but the expectation should be that it will not return.

Some went live April 9 and we plan to keep introducing more incremental improvements, although can't speak of an ETA right now!

I'm sure you've all got many more questions on some of the details we touched upon in the letter, so please drop them here and I'll do my best to answer!

Shared your feedback directly with the gameplay team who handle weapons

Any revenue a game company inadvertently receives from malicious players who purchase game copies to cheat is heavily outweighed by revenue lost from players who stop playing because they feel they've been pit against cheaters and their experience has been impacted.

As a game that has been around for many years and plans to be around for many to come, cheaters can be a major factor contributing to player churn, which of course loses us revenue.

It's in our best interest to do everything we can to prevent cheaters. They us money and they cost us fans and we'll continue to put everything we can towards getting them out of our game.

Cheaters make our life harder and hurt the experience of our players. That is not good for business, and it's not fun for our players - we're here to make a fun game and of course, like any business be sustainable at the same time.

Cheaters hurt all of our goals and it's why we'll continue to invest in anti-cheat heavily. T...

We're working to implement another authentication layer (SMS auth) to enhance account security, to help prevent account hijacking. On top of that, it'll also be a requirement for our upcoming ranked mode, as another hoop cheaters need to jump through.

every single anti-cheat update is instantly leaked to cheat makers.

Can you explain this a bit more? I don't think anything nefarious is happening here.

Cheat developers generally disable cheats temporarily after anti-cheat updates are deployed to assess what changes have been made. Updates to Steam requiring client-updates are easily and automatically detected, so it's expected cheat developers try to stay on top of this and dig into what changes we've made.

There are many resources which allow you to view and compare game builds and of course, these cheat makers create programs which automatically identify what has been changed, added or removed.

Server-side logic and tech updates (both internal, and external through services like BattlEye) often catch cheat devs off-guard and is a reason we often have humongous ban waves and consistently ban 100k+ accounts per week. (No it isn't enough when your matches are still impacte...

G'day! While I know our team have taken legal action against cheat developers in the past, I'm unsure if we've worked directly with payment processors or merchants such as Paypal. Will look into this.

I'll send an email to the legal team, appreciate you sharing this information and links!

Appreciate the ping! Sound team is already looking into this

HAHAHAHA I've listened to this like 7 times already, that laugh easily makes up for the gameplay.
