Rubber bandingRubber banding in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS? Keep your character where you left it
Rubber banding is when you move forward and the game snaps you back a few steps. It happens when the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS server gets your data late or incomplete and corrects your position. GamesTC looks for a route with less loss and less fluctuation.

What causes rubber banding in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
The PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS server decides where every player is. When your packets arrive late, out of order or not at all, it puts you back at the last position it knows. If the server itself is overloaded, everyone gets it and no route can fix that.
Late data
Packets that arrive late or go missing make the server snap your position back.
When it's the server
If everyone is rubber banding at once, the server is the problem, not the route.
Fewer corrections
With less loss on the route, the server corrects your movement less often.
Smooth movement
More predictable movement, without getting yanked back.
Route under watch
Smart Route keeps measuring the route while you are connected.
