PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds patch #5 now available on test servers, brings new anti-cheat system


As promised, Bluehole Studio has released the fifth update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on its test servers. This patch brings the new anti-cheat system and once the following changes – on the test servers – are evaluated to be stable, they will be applied to the live servers.

As said, this patch introduces the new anti-cheat system that Bluehole will be using. This system is not compatible with Reshade, meaning that players will have to uninstall it in order to play PUBG.

Moreover, this patch fixed the issue where the sound of explosions would become too loud when played simultaneously, balances the number of simultaneous explosion sounds, in order to optimize game performance and fixes the issue where the explosion sound wouldn’t play following the falling sound of a bomb.

Below you can find the complete changelog for this latest update.
