PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is getting its second monthly update tomorrow, and in the forum post about the patch, PlayerUnknown commented on the server performance of the game, among other things.

"I have seen a lot of speculation about the cause of the lag some of you experience. One of the more popular theories is that we run our games on potato quality servers. I would like to put this theory to bed by telling you our servers run on the highest possible spec machines that AWS offer," the post explains. "We are currently in the middle of profiling the servers to attempt to track down the cause of the lag, but as I have said before, this will take us time to complete, so I ask for your patience while we work to improve server performance for all players."

"While next monthly update will be focused on improving server performance, the optimisation process won't stop there, and we will continue to improve performance of the servers all the way through Early Access."

The post then talks about the patch itself, which is coming at 09:00 BST tomorrow, and the main thing people will notice is the addition of the VSS, a suppressed sniper rifle with a 4x scope, and a motorbike. For full patch notes, though, head over to the Steam forums. Which is better - the motorbike or the sniper?
