The monthly update will be pushed to the Public Test Server in about 1 hour at 5PM KST / 8AM UTC, as we need some extra time to test the new 1st person view before updating the live servers later in the week.

Nice one Ninja, the update is live on the test server. And if all is well then it will be live tomorrow (thursday) on normal servers.
I played one round on the test server in first person. I did put the fov on max though as I think it suits me more. Standard is 90 and I did put it on 103 (?)

Do you find you have it on max because you are used to the wider viewing angle of TP?

It's been a while you guys. I see that you're also playing PUBG. I'll join TS tonight, maybe we can run a squad game.

There are usually more than enough people to do a few squad games.

@Zero try joining us in a squad game as well. It's way more interesting than the solo games (although solo can be fun too).

Do you guys get rubber banding since the last update? I guess the servers are overloaded.
LO Neon,

the rubber banding is server-side related. It's really bad and it's been caused by this update.

The dev's have picked up on it but from my understanding, they have stated that it's no easy fix.

@Aggrovan @Clown try joining us on ts (or on discord as there are a few playing on discord as well). Playing solo is fun as well, but playing this in a squad is more fun (at least that is my opinion).
