CoD: Cold War – Players suffer from a lot of issues after a major patch

Activision’s Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War hasn’t been on the market in that long and has already received a lot of criticism. The main problem here is Update 1.06, which was recently released by the development studio and which brings numerous issues into play. In various forums, the community complains that these errors seem to have been overlooked before the patch was implemented.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War – What are the problems?

First, there are four different problems:

1. Crashes: Since the release of Update 1.06, many games have complained of sporadic crashes or disconnections while playing.
2. Graphics errors: Many players report problems with the lighting engine, which lead to colorful and neon-lit characters and objects in the game. This basically makes the game unplayable.
3. Hitbox: In a multiplayer game there have recently been errors while recording hits. In some cases, some hits would simply no longer be counted, which causes a lot of frustration in a multiplayer title.
4. Netcode: The last problem is basically the opposite of problem number three. For example, hits in the box are sometimes counted as hits from an opponent, which seems completely unrealistic. You can see an example of this below:

It remains to be seen how far the development studio will react to community criticism. One thing is certain, however: Activision will have to come up with a new update in the near future to neutralize the tense mood.
