New PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds update finally fixes the game’s most irritating bug

You know when there are those bugs in video games that just don’t get squashed with updates and patches? Well, the infamous stuttering plane in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of these. This bug saw the cargo plane stutter at the start of a new round which often led to it being immobile in the air. Luckily the guys over at Bluehole Studio have finally fixed this issue in this week’s latest update.

There is also a few new tweaks here and there in the week 16 patch, like the invisible doors, and the ability to fire a weapon while underwater is no longer a thing you can get away with. The patch notes also reveal that you will no longer need to press “F” to open doors that were previously destroyed by grenades and other explosives.

While there is no actual new content in this week’s patch, the bug fixes and tweaks are surely enough to make players happy. Take a look at the full patch notes below on all the client changes and bug fixes you will notice when the update goes live sometime today.
