Krafton India has successfully completed the BGMI 4.2 update rollout after pausing it earlier today to fix a critical crash issue affecting both Android and iOS users.
The BGMI 4.2 Update rollout is now complete and available for download on both Android and iOS devices. After detecting a critical crash issue during the initial release, Krafton India temporarily paused the update to prevent players from experiencing game-breaking bugs. The development team worked quickly to patch the stability issue, and the fixed version is now live on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
BGMI 4.2 Update Crash Issue
Earlier today, Krafton announced on official social media channels that a technical crash issue was detected during the early rollout of version 4.2.0. To ensure players received a stable gaming experience and avoid widespread complaints about repeated crashes, the company made the decision to pause the update for both platforms immediately.
When such critical issues are discovered, it can take anywhere from several hours to a full day for developers to identify the bug, apply a fix, and re-upload the corrected version to app stores. In this case, Krafton managed to resolve the problem within hours, allowing the rollout to resume the same day.
What Changed in the Fixed Version?
The updated version includes:
- Crash Fix: The stability issue that caused the initial delay has been fully patched.
- Full Availability: The update is no longer being released in waves and should now be visible to all users immediately.
Players can now download the stable version without worrying about game crashes or performance issues.
