New Call of Duty: Warzone Update Reportedly Causing Big Problems

Warzone's Latest Update: A Fix That Introduced New Problems

The newest Call of Duty: Warzone update aimed to resolve several bugs, primarily addressing game-freezing loading screens. However, this patch appears to have inadvertently introduced new issues, particularly impacting matchmaking and Ranked Play.

Warzone, a hugely popular battle royale game since its 2020 launch, has seen its share of both lauded and controversial updates. Past updates have included the divisive removal of the Verdansk map and the integration of Black Ops 6 movement mechanics, alongside positive additions like Resurgence mode and new maps.

While the recent update successfully fixed loading screen crashes and minor glitches, reports from CharlieIntel on Twitter indicate significant problems with matchmaking. More critically, Ranked Play is experiencing major disruptions, including players phasing under the map and Buy Station malfunctions. These issues are particularly concerning given the competitive nature of Ranked Play.

Although Activision hasn't yet publicly acknowledged these problems, a swift resolution is anticipated given the frequency of Warzone updates. The developer's responsiveness to player concerns is crucial, especially considering recent challenges impacting player counts on Steam, including competition, cheating issues, and the less-than-well-received Squid Game premium Battle Pass. Addressing these current glitches, alongside potential future additions like the return of Verdansk, could revitalize Warzone's player base.
