Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the refresh button on the friends list would take you to the team tab when players are in a team
Fixed an issue where when players leave the vehicle and the vehicle is positioned right next to the window of a building, players would go into the building through the window when getting out off the vehicle
Fixed an issue where during server instability, when exiting a slow-moving vehicle, the players would be treated as if they were hit by their own vehicle
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is now available for PC, mobile, and Xbox One through early access.
