After making some more improvements to the Sanhok map, the team behind PUBG have decided to bring it back to the test servers for round 4 of testing. Players can take to the live server today through Monday afternoon to give the new map a test on the experimental servers for science, before they release it to the full version of the game this month. The purpose of the test is to ensure Sanhok is ready to hit the big leagues and have the weight of the player base thrown its way as fans duke it out for that chicken dinner.

The team at Bluehole Studios shared some details about latest PUBG test server update and look at what they have planned ahead:

Sanhok is coming back to the Experimental Server for one last round of testing before the map goes live later in June. We’ve shipped a ton of upgrades to the map since the last time we ran the test servers. Please let us know what’s working and what isn’t so we can make this round of testing count.”

Check out all the details on the new PUBG test server patch, via Steam:

Environmental Set Dressing

• Our towns are showing new signs of life! Towns now have been giving a new pass of environmental set dressing.

Cliffs

• Thai-style rock walls are now spread across the map. These aren’t the final, polished assets, but we wanted to get them in early. Try climbing up them and let us know how you feel about them!

Resort, Cave, and Ruins Improvements

• We’ve added additional set dressing and material work to these areas.

 

• Removed grenade cooking animation and sound when throwing apples in the starting area before match starts.

• Fixed an issue of infinite loading and stuck in black screen when entering the match

• When using the Death Cam, sometimes players disappear or weapons become invisible.
• Sometimes in spectate mode or Death Cam, scopes are visible, but scope mesh isn’t.
• Sometimes other players appear as zombies.
• Sometimes the bluezone indicator on the minimap gets temporarily out of sync.
