The latest PUBG Mobile update is going live today and will include a range of modest changes for the game on iOS and Android.
Fans are reporting the patch going live, although this has led to some issues. According to those affected, some players are not available.
The game is available and should be sorted when today's download is reached.
As confirmed by Tencent earlier this week, the new update does not require the servers to go offline for downtime.
"We will be updating the game on October 9th, but the servers will stay online during the update!" The Tencent message reads.
"The download is about 143 MB, so please make sure you have enough storage space on your device, and maybe download via WiFi instead of mobile data."
This is the best news for fans, as it never leaves the game for hours on end.
As mentioned above, the new PUBG Mobile update is around 143MB to download, depending on what platform you are playing on, so it should take longer download.
From the past, the fans will expect a little disruption.
When it comes to the new patch, Tencent has confirmed a list of patch notes.
This includes new outfits that come with emotes, as well as "improved" daily rewards and tweaks to when packs can open.
It's mostly minor bug fixes, though some fans are also waiting for some performance improvements.
According to feedback left on the PUBG Mobile Reddit page, some players have been hit by issues, following the release of PUBG Mobile update 0.8.0.
One good thing that has been noticed is the changes in hacking rates, which has dropped from the last patching process.
"We have recently expanded our cheating detection library and will be able to identify more types of cheats and hacks," a message from Tencent added.
"We will continue to apply a zero-tolerance policy against such behaviors. Our players provide more ways to report cheaters, at the same time, we have also added reporting buttons on multiple locations ("Spectate Friend", "Basic Info" and "Statistics"). "
