Call of Duty WW2 Fans have been noticing issues popping up with spectator mode, something that has been highlighted as an issues for the past few weeks.
Sledgehammer Games have now released an update on the situation, confirming the work that has been done to remove the viewing issues and what more is being planned for the future.
“We wanted to update you on the work we’ve done to address the PC issue that some people were seeing where they initially spawned into a match in spectator mode.”
“This delayed spawn issue generally is uncommon and brief on consoles, but had the potential to be much longer for PC players.
“Over the holiday break, we made a update to the PC that prioritized the streaming of the critical blocking gun assets. The fix made a serious improvement to the issue on the PC platform.
“Since it went live, we’ve still seen it on rare occasions but the duration was very brief. Please let us know your experience, but we’re pretty confident that the issue has been virtually eliminated from impacting the quality of the match experience for PC players now.
“While this spectator issue generally does not impact console players, and when it does the duration is very short, we’ll be rolling the same streaming fix out to both consoles in the game update that comes out later this month.
“We’ll keep you posted on that in our patch notes when the update goes live.”
And Call of Duty WW2 fans have plenty to look forward to in 2018 – with the release of the game’s first DLC just round the corner.
Fans can also expect another brand new Call of Duty coming out this year on PS4 and Xbox One, with Activision set to follow their yearly release pattern.
And for Call of Duty WW2 fans, it looks like the next title in the COD series will be developed by Treyarch.
The Santa Monica based developer’s last COD game was Call of Duty Black Ops III, set almost 50 years in the future.
Call of Duty WW2’s success was arguably due – in part – to the decision to return to its roots and set the game during a real conflict of huge historical significance.
It remains to be seen whether the next Call of Duty game will stick to a real-world setting or go back to a fictional, futuristic one.
But one thing is for sure – Treyarch are looking to make the characters in their next Call of Duty game as lifelike as possible.
A new job advert posted on an Activision website shows Treyarch are on the hunt for a character artist to create “realistic characters”.
The job listing says: “Treyarch is looking for an incredibly passionate and talented temporary character artist with a focus on clothing and gear to help us create realistic characters.
“A successful candidate would need to understand the important nuances of how clothing of both soft and hard surfaces mold to the human form in a realistic way.
