PUBG’s War Mode Weekend Event Shuttered After Server Load Woes

4.3

Only a day into the Weekend Special Event, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds new War Mode had been taken down the following day after being the cause to the game’s server instability.

For those out of the loop, the new gameplay in War Mode over the weekend event would have offered players a fresh take on PvP action with team deathmatch rules, respawning included. The rules behind the event were simple: earn 200 points before the other team does through killing anybody on the opposite team. Unfortunately, War Mode was taken down after PUBG Corp. discovered that the weekend event was the cause of their server problems. Servers were shut down for around an hour, and PUBG was up and running again with War Mode disabled.

PC Players: The emergency maintenance is now complete.

Unfortunately, we've had to prematurely end this week's event mode, as it was found to be the cause of recent server instability. Our engineers are working hard to ensure this problem doesn't occur in the future.

This isn’t the only thing that has been pulled from PUBG recently. We also reported on player-to-player transactions being disabled, but the PUBG Corp. has yet to state when that function will be up and running again.

XeCookie_ So much for a "week-end event" didnt even last the entire week end and this is one of the reasons why Fortnite is blowing them out of the water (I know fortnite also has a lot of down time as well)

Fortnite is more appealing to the younger audience as well. Me personally it's not for me. I play PUBG but it's all preference.

Plus is free, i realise that's legit the main reason a lot of my cousins play it, it's because it's optimised and free, it really does work on some shit computers.

If you announce your doing something u should stick to it. You have to fix the servers before trying to do these events!

Damn what a shame. Wonder if they have any ideas to make up for this.
