After the latest update of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), a lot of people reported that they’re stuck on the loading screen that doesn’t continue to the lobby. They also reported that, even verifying the integrity file on steam, it doesn’t fix the problem.
Most people reported the issue is coming from the Asian server, in which most of the ISP in these country has a low rate of crawling updated DNS directories. Since PUBG updated their server side and client side of the game, the update might include new sub domain pointing to a new IP address, resulting for the DNS server to still get the latest IP address, your IPS might one of those who still got the outdated DNS directory of PUBG Servers. That is why some people couldn’t connect to the PUBG server.
To fixed this issue, you need to use a fast updating DNS server like openDNS, Level3 DNS or Google DNS.
