Bluehole has finally got rid of the known server performance issues causing a drastic dropping in certain circumstances. Besides the server sided fixes, the new Week 13 patch offers an improved Client Performance as well as some Bug Fixes. Do not worry, the rendering performance of other characters is improved too.
This week’s patch is already deployed and should be live, fixing a client crash that occurred while changing the character’s appearance. A lot of people reported strange issues, including our close friends which are actually in love with the game. They said that from time to time, something really weird happens during ranged combat. Thanks to this patch, that issue should be gone for good too, together with the improved rendering of bikes, vehicles, motorbikes and boats.
The most important in this patch is the already known and annoying bugs that people may have ran into. Enough wasting time, below you can find the full changelog of the Early Access Week 13 Update. Overall, it seems like each fix in this patch is good for the game. However, Bluehole needs to focus a bit more on the loot, because a close friend of mine had 5 buildings fully examined and found literally the same loot in all of them.
