Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play plagued by game-crashing glitch, leading to unfair suspensions.
A critical bug in Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play mode is causing widespread frustration among players. A developer error triggers game crashes, which are mistakenly flagged as intentional quits, resulting in automatic 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty. This is particularly damaging as SR directly impacts player rank and end-of-season rewards.
The issue follows a recent major update intended to address bugs and improve the anti-cheat system. However, this update appears to have introduced new problems, adding to existing player concerns about persistent glitches and cheating within the Call of Duty franchise. The recent collaboration with Netflix's Squid Game hasn't been enough to stem the tide, with Black Ops 6 reportedly experiencing a near 50% player drop on platforms like Steam.
Player outrage is mounting, with many expressing anger over lost win streaks and demanding SR compensation. The severity of the situation underscores the urgent need for immediate developer intervention to resolve this glitch and restore player confidence. The current state of the game, characterized by frequent issues and a declining player base, highlights the need for more robust quality assurance and faster response times to critical bugs.
