We have steadily been adding more queues over the years and now support the most amount of queues in any Battle Royale game – a genre that sometimes requires over 100 players per match,” Choi admits. “We support many queues in PUBG – too many. In the third to last paragraph of the letter, Choi finally gets to the crux of PUBG’s problem – if you ignore all the cheaters and stability issues, of course. It has to concentrate on the core experience first and foremost. Choi suggested that the best solution might be to “funnel players into less queues” and is “exploring the idea of closing some down”, but nothing concrete seems to be decided. Still, Choi notes that bots can still fill up the majority of a lobby depending on the queue times, but he's seemingly out of ideas on how to fix this issue. But worringly, there’s no mention on how the bots will be improved mechanically, because they’re comically bad as it stands. Choi has said that the developer's data has shown a positive change in making sure lobbies aren't primarily full of the AI invaders. Like them or loathe them, PUBG is staying resolute on its decision to keep them in the game. Glossing over the fact that PUBG now apparently crashes less than it ever has on console (congrats, I guess?) the developer of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has tackled the hot topic that continues to leave the community in uproar: the bothersome bots. But perhaps somewhat predictably, PUBG Corp doesn’t know when it will come or how it will be implemented. The good news is that SMS authentication might come to consoles to help combat cheaters and dodgy accounts from playing the game. That’s a funny thing to say, when he literally just discussed a game-breaking hack which works on consoles. Speaking of cheats, what about SMS authentication for ranked mode? It’s already a requirement on PC if you want to play, but Choi said the developer believed it wasn’t required on console, as cheating is a lot harder to do. And while they do expect to see a drastic reduction in radar hack usage (note: not a permanent end to the problem), Choi signs off with the confidence boosting promise that he’s keeping his “fingers crossed”. Despite promising some sort of “packet encryption” measure against radar cheats, PUBG Corp won’t explain how it will work exactly, just in case they “give out information that baddies could use against us”. Choi bravely admits that radar hacks have been “a huge thorn in the side for us for a looooong time” – you can tell he understands because he’s used five zeros in the word long.
