With Warzone, Call of Duty has already got its second Battle Royale mode after blackout. This time even as a standalone version, which is available free of charge alongside the main game. The release was also accompanied by an update for Modern Warfare. However, this may have caused some technical errors.
There are complaints in the official forums and on Reddit, some of which are quite violent. This primarily affects Warzone mode, but the main game is also affected in some areas.
Bugs in Warzone: These problems occur
Warzone was released on March 10th and still has some technical issues. However, the current version of the Battle Royale mode is still in a beta phase. Bugs can be expected. Nevertheless, some fans are loudly voicing their frustration on Reddit. We have compiled a few of the known current bugs for you here:
The black cloud:
One of the most annoying, but also most curious bugs is the so-called black cloud. This is a graphic error. This creates a huge black spot on your screen, which sometimes becomes larger and makes it impossible to play. The error probably occurs in most cases after you have killed an opponent.
Black Graphical Glitch Fills the Screen? Happening to anyone else? (I have the updated drivers) from r / COD war zone
Is there a solution? The bug is hotly debated on Reddit and there have been multiple reports from players with this issue. According to user Manirelli, it is a VRAM error. He suggests reducing the clock speed of the video memory. You can find tools for this online, one option would be the MSI Afterburner.
The contract bug:
In Warzone you can occasionally collect individual contracts that make it easier to earn money and experience. However, there still seems to be a significant drop in the frame rate. There are several threads on Reddit where games report this phenomenon. Everyone agrees that they were close to a contract.
Huge Warzone Bug I am running on normal ps4 not pro and I think the bug starts when I'm near a contract it has happened to me 4 out of my 5 games now plz fix asap from r / COD war zone
Is there a solution? So far there seems to be no real workaround for it. However, Infinity Ward has already shown that they are working on a solution. After all, most reports come from PS4 or Xbox One players.
Infinite loading bar:
Another problem that affects PC gamers in particular is a never ending loading bar. The problem with this is of course quickly explained: the players try to start a game and then get stuck in the loading bar for so long that it becomes impossible to play.
PC Loading Screen Bug // Can't play the game from r / COD war zone
Is there a solution? No concrete solution has yet been found here either. There is hope that the developers will have the problem on the screen and prepare a patch. A user claims to have solved the problem by editing the configuration file, but we could not find any confirmation for this solution.
Crashes in Modern Warfare
After Warzone's release, players also encountered a few issues in the main game. So there are apparently more crashes. Many players complain that their game simply shuts down without warning. The error does not only occur once, but repeatedly. As a result, some players are currently unable to actually play Warzone or Modern Warfare.
Is there a solution? Since a lot of players are affected by this annoying bug, many have already started looking for possible solutions. There is a whole thread on Reddit where players can post suggestions.
