New Call of Duty: Warzone Update Reportedly Causing Big Problems

Warzone's Latest Update: A Mixed Bag of Fixes and New Issues

The newest Call of Duty: Warzone update boasts some fixes, but unfortunately introduces new problems, particularly impacting Ranked Play. While the patch successfully addressed the frustrating loading screen crashes, it seems to have inadvertently caused matchmaking difficulties and significant glitches within the Ranked Play mode.

Warzone, a popular battle royale title since its 2020 launch, has experienced its share of both lauded and controversial updates. Past updates have seen the removal of the Verdansk map (a divisive decision), the integration of Black Ops 6 movement mechanics (a point of contention among players), and the addition of features like Resurgence mode and new maps (generally well-received).

This latest patch aimed to resolve existing bugs, including loading screen freezes and minor glitches. However, reports from CharlieIntel on Twitter indicate a new set of problems. Ranked Play, the competitive mode, is now experiencing issues such as players phasing under the map and malfunctions at Buy Stations. These issues are particularly concerning given the competitive nature of Ranked Play.

While Activision hasn't publicly acknowledged these problems yet, it's highly likely they are aware and working on a solution. Given Warzone's frequent update schedule, a fix should arrive relatively soon.

Warzone's Steam player count has recently declined due to competition, cheating issues, and unpopular decisions like the premium Squid Game Battle Pass. Addressing these current glitches, coupled with potential future additions like the return of Verdansk, could revitalize the game's popularity.
