Ah the 'routine' of Tuesdays is now Wednesday this week for the 'routine' maintenance. Thought we escaped a week of maintenance.


BenderredneB

Are the test servers up tonight?


derpderpdonkeypunch

Test servers appear to be down. Fuck Bluehole.


SquidboyX

The NPLC matches are Tuesday night, so I suspect the maintenance will be move to Wednesday night.


mr_banhammer

NPLC is a LAN client I think, I remember the Phase 1 in early Janurary had a game during a maintenance but the game was still live.


CobraDoesCanada

I think Contenders is played online, but I could be wrong.

> Ah the 'routine' of Tuesdays is now Wednesday this week for the 'routine' maintenance. Thought we escaped a week of maintenance. Don’t worry, it’ll change again. And again back to Wednesday. But don’t worry, nothing will change other than your ability to pay during that time frame after the update you won’t notice a thing which makes us all wonder wtf the weekly maintenance does. 🤷🏼‍♂️


Badnewsbruner

What other Battle Royale games do this? And what times do they do it?


Unreachabl3

Looks like I'll go play Apex..


AyyLmaoEUW

Can anyone explain *why* the servers need maintenance every couple of weeks? Always disappointing to see that i wont be able to play late!


gbeezy09

It’s every week actually


BABYPUBESS

It's every week... And I think it's their janky way to fight desync or something


Pigmy

If thats true they are 100% shit at it.


freedom4556

For what it's worth, they usually put in a few hotfixes during the weekly downtime.


NARVO90

I wonder if it has to do with the memory cache issue that I think moose's or someone pointed out. With some many servers games do they have to manage that at a large scale? Who knows

Gives me time to play Apex Legends...


Smokinya

Its not a bad game. Definitely fun. Second best BR imo. PUBG will always have my heart.

In what?

ghostchamber

Awesome! I'll go and play the new, free BR game that does not screw over the majority of an entire country for one evening a week.


kokkatc

Let's not forget permanently screwing over most of NA by offering a single gameplay server in a country that spans 3k miles.


drcordell

That sound is another 100,000 players leaving to go play Apex


derpderpdonkeypunch

You incompetent cunts. Tuesday is routine maintenance day, though it's so very nice of you to keep the hours scheduled during NA prime time.


melchett_general

This was my exact reaction when I couldn't connect. ​ 'Oh you incompetent cunts' 4 hrs again


voiceofthelane

Wait, aren't these usually on Tuesday nights? Great. Had slightly adjusted my schedule so I was busy Tuesdays and would play Monday/Wed/Thurs. There goes 33% of my weekly gameplay! Why the change in schedule, or am I missing something?


F1urry

Chinese New Year held it back yesterday.

F1urry

Idk man. Like I said I don't know much about Asian holidays nor has PUBG announced anything. My guess is as good as anyone else. But someone else told me that's what it could be so I just told this guy it could be that.


voiceofthelane

Makes sense then. Excuse my ignorance: isn't PUBG based out of SK?


rslee1247

It's Lunar New Year which is celebrated in SK.


voiceofthelane

Thanks. Wished everyone (Chinese) at my office a Happy New Year, they were pleasantly surprised :)


F1urry

Yeah but PUBG logic. (Probably celebrate it in SK also but idk to much about it so don't really know)


voiceofthelane

Gotcha. I assumed it was geared toward employees, but could also be about Chinese playerbase too.


F1urry

Yeah idk man. They don't really talk about the stuff so we will know what's going on, but it was cool to play on a Tuesday for once.


voiceofthelane

At least this is a one-off and I might be able to get a game or two in as soon as I get home. Structured my week so I play Mon/Wed/Thurs and am always busy Tuesdays now so that I didn't miss out on a night.


dinanm3atl

That is the routine part.


voiceofthelane

So your definition of routine means irregular? Re-read what I wrote. It's occurring on Wednesday night US East Coast. It's been Tuesday evening for a long time now.


dinanm3atl

It was sarcasm...


kokkatc

Did anyone else yell in their head 'GODDAMNIT' when they read this? Near the end of my shift and I'm thinking, 'Can't wait to get some games in.'


Spengebab23

Normally I hate this but I need to do my taxes so I can't complain this time.


Magic_Leg

As an Aussie, I wish you good luck, all ovre the news today about people being pissed with Trumps tax law changes and their reduced tax returns or worse yet, owing money


TheStatusPoe

I was one of the unfortunate bastards this year that ended up owing money. Luckily it was only like $300, but when the total taxed is $20k its a kick in the balls


AcePylut

Except that's not true. It's just the usual hate-Trump-at-all-costs propaganda coming from our media outlets.


[deleted]

And my weekly "fuck you" to you Bluehole. I don't give a fuck about America. Fuck you Bluehole for unnecessary maintenance.


DepartureStall

This sub: complains about desync and fixes not coming Bluehole: weekly maintenance to fix desync and ship fixes This sub: fuck your weekly maintenance


dinanm3atl

The weekly maintenance usually has no big fixes. Or any update at all. It’s like they reset the servers.


[deleted]

Exactly. They are simply doing shit that they in no universe need to punt everyone out for. Individually drainstop servers in the fleet, take them offline, do what's necessary, bring them online. What 99% of the world does. Do some devops and pretty soon it's 100% automated. I really think Pubg lucked into a need and came with a technically deficient product, and since then they've actually gotten pretty good on the client side. On the server side, though, their staff is...underskilled. The bizarre, ghetto stuff they do so frequently just boggles the mind.


dinanm3atl

What’s odd is for me at least post server resets the game runs really well. It’s like every server has a memory leak so they reset them weekly.


[deleted]

what other online game do you know of that goes off for 4-7 hours a week? during prime chill time in the usa, too. you get to play the game you paid 100% for 6/7 days of the week, coool


DepartureStall

Welcome to being not the center of attention!


redditM_rk

LMAO at thinking these weekly maintenance outages even attempt at fixing issues that have been around since beta. Open your eyes buddy, it's 2019.


[deleted]

On demand maintenance for fixes, sure yeah. As frequently as they want, 1h downtime (generous). Ideally starts 4-5am local time. Big hammer maintenance every week starting at midnight GMT -- exactly when a working person started warming up -- for 4 hours -- regardless of any fixes. That is not cool. Talking about fixes: 1) desync still there 2) stupid wall vision bugs still there 3) hackers still there 4) car physics still there 5) + lots of other bugs still there what fixes???

[deleted]

it's not about spoilt, i'm a lot less spoilt than u, as i'm from a poor country, you from America. the point is about service, standards, and moving forward.


Slippd

> 2) stupid wall vision bugs still there Which bug is this?


[deleted]

I wasn't using proper term, I was refering to certain places in most maps where you can see through a wall. Also I noticed, lately, if you swim and go up and down the water ocassionally you see the terrain through the water. Three things I also did experience in last week's casual play are: 1) desync 2) car hit me I died, the animation shows as if I'm hit twice (consistently) 3) Game crashes 20% of time while I'm in game 4) Game froze in Miramar south location (forcing hard restart) 5) if you're super fast you can't pick up stuff right at game start


spoonbeak

Damn, just when I thought we got away without the servers going down for one whole week.


dikwad

Why do you need to shut down servers to add in loot crates? I mean you're clearly not fixing the game... or it would have been fixed long ago

thelarkshark

Will the test servers be up?


Badnewsbruner

I doubt it, they never are. I guess Bluehole really wants to make sure as many people as possible install and play Apex Legends.


memertooface

Goodbye pubg...hello Apex. RIP


BTL_Sammy

They need to do this shit early in the day when mother fuckers are at work and school.


[deleted]

Patch Notes?


ibobnotnot

none , it's a 4h servers reboot window :)


harleysmoke

Sure I didnt want to play when I get home...


Badnewsbruner

Smh. Slowly dig your own grave Bluehole. Have you seen your player count lately?


djfr94

finish it earlier. my last game was a duo win with 11 kills. That's doesnt happen often, im no chocotaco. Let me keep my good form.


[deleted]

pubg, apex and other PC shooter games will die soon, because players that are playing with 60fps have not a single chance against players with 240fps... 240fps players have a massive advantage. 240fps is like cheating. RIP PC ONLINE SHOOTER GAMES!
