If you know anything at all about a battle royale game, you’ll know that the very first step of every match is to jump out of a plane (or another type of aerial vehicle such as the flying bus in Fortnite, but the idea is the same) and then use a parachute to land at a location of your own choosing. However, recently, many PUBG Mobile players have been encountering a glitch in which the plane was vanishing from their games, leaving them stranded directly in the middle of the sky and slowly falling down without even being to open their parachutes.
Needless to say, this is a pretty serious issue that has ended the match for many players before they can even do anything. A lot of people have taken to various social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to report this problem. Some also pointed out other in-game bugs such as lag upon exiting the vehicle, while others blamed the recent 0.12.0 update that just rolled out in PUBG Mobile a few days ago.
On Friday, PUBG Mobile posted on Twitter saying that it was aware of the glitch and promised to fix it as soon as possible.
“We are aware of the plane disappearing and parachuting issue. The cause is being investigated and it will be fixed as soon as possible. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused and would like to thank you for your continued support,” the tweet reads.
Launched on April 17, PUBG Mobile update 0.12.0 comes with a brand new zombie mode named ‘Darkest Night’ and also revamped the existing one Survive Till Dawn, making several changes such as allowing the stun grenade to stun zombies or adding new weapons. Other new features include a spectator mode, new theme, and new achievements.
