PUBG Lost Connection to Host Instances Down 90%

PUBG Corp updated players on the status of PUBG Console's most infamous bug Friday, reporting a 90% decrease in the "Lost Connection to Host" bug's frequency.

'The Lost Connection to Host' phenomenon occurs when a load of resources that are supposed to load when a player joins a match fail to do so correctly. The problem has persisted with fluctuating pervasiveness for years.

PUBG Lost Connection to Host Instances Down 90%

In the past, Lost Connection to Host was typically caused by garbage collection malfunctioning when loading map data to get into the match. Loading a map would occasionally take too long, leading to garbage collection dumping necessary resources in trying to make space for new resources.

PUBG Corp solved that problem by increasing the interval between garbage collection instances.

More recently, Lost Connection to Host failures were caused by the sheer volume of resources needed to load in each game. PUBG Corp has ultimately addressed the problem by reorganizing the loading logic to reduce the occurrence rate of Lost Connection to Host failures by more than 90%.

"We understand this was a frustrating issue to deal with," wrote senior console contents engineer Sangki Kim in a blog post, "and we thank everyone for their patience while we worked on a fix."
