New Call of Duty: Warzone Update Reportedly Causing Big Problems

Warzone's Latest Update: Bug Fixes Create 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 introduced new challenges, notably impacting matchmaking and Ranked Play.

Warzone, a popular battle royale title since its 2020 launch, has seen its share of both lauded and controversial updates. The removal of the Verdansk map and the integration of Black Ops 6 mechanics sparked significant player debate. Despite these controversies, the game retains a substantial player base thanks to consistent updates and additions like Resurgence mode and new maps.

This latest update, intended to squash existing bugs, has unfortunately created new ones. Reports from CharlieIntel on Twitter indicate widespread matchmaking difficulties. More critically, Ranked Play is experiencing severe issues, including players phasing under the map and Buy Station malfunctions. These problems are particularly concerning given the competitive nature of Ranked Play.

While Activision hasn't publicly acknowledged these issues yet, a swift resolution is anticipated given the frequency of Warzone updates. The game's recent Steam player count decline, attributed to competition, cheating, and unpopular choices like the Squid Game Battle Pass, highlights the urgency of addressing these technical problems. Resolving these bugs, potentially alongside the return of Verdansk, could revitalize Warzone's popularity.
