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 the system mistakenly interprets as intentional quits. This results in automatic 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty for affected players.
The issue, highlighted by CharlieIntel and DougisRaw, is particularly damaging because SR directly impacts a player's competitive rank and end-of-season rewards. Players are reporting significant SR losses impacting their competitive standing and progress. The frustration is amplified by the fact that this glitch comes on the heels of a recent major update intended to address bugs and improve the game.
Player outrage is mounting, with many expressing anger over lost win streaks and demanding compensation for the SR losses incurred due to the unintentional suspensions. The general sentiment reflects a growing concern about the game's stability and the developers' responsiveness to ongoing issues.
This latest glitch underscores the broader problems facing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Recent months have seen persistent glitches, cheating concerns, and a reported near-50% player drop on platforms like Steam, despite new content releases. The developer's struggle to effectively address these issues is fueling player discontent and raises serious questions about the game's long-term health. Swift and decisive action is urgently needed to restore player confidence and address the ongoing instability.
