PUBG: Θα "τρέχει" καλύτερα σε low-end PCs με το επόμενο update

To επόμενο μεγάλο update του Σεπτεμβρίου για το PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds βρήκε το δρόμο του, επιτέλους, στους test servers και φέρνει πάμπολλες αλλαγές, όπως θα δείτε και στο τεράστιο changelog παρακάτω. Οι βελτιώσεις που θα μονοπωλήσουν το ενδιαφέρον των παικτών είναι πως θα προστεθεί ομίχλη στον χάρτη, μια νέα πόλη ονόματι East of Stalber και ένα νέο 5.56mm Mini-14 όπλο, καθώς και μερικές όμορφες αλλαγές και προσθήκες στο UI όπως το μαρκάρισμα χωρίς να πηγαίνετε στον χάρτη.

Το πιο σημαντικό όμως που αποκαλύφθηκε από το changelog και αφορά τη συντριπτική πλειοψηφία όσων παίζουν το PUBG είναι πως θα γίνουν βελτιώσεις στα κτήρια ώστε να "τρέχει" καλύτερα και ομαλότερα σε αδύναμα low-end PCs.
