Call of Duty Black Ops 4 developer Treyarch has revealed more about the game’s next major update on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
While the Black Ops 4 launch has been relatively smooth so far, there are one or two issues that need to be fixed.
Fortunately Treyarch is on the case, and early patch notes for incoming updates have been revealed.
Treyarch is looking at map spawning issues that have cropped up in various multiplayer modes.
The studio has already fixed the issue in Domination, so expect this problem to be resolved very soon.
Fans have also complained about Hardcore wins not counting towards Challenge progression. Stats have also temporarily disappeared for some users.
The problem is high on the studio’s priority list, so a PS4, Xbox One and PC fix should be imminent.
According to the early patch notes, partner studio Beenox is working on a fix for game crashes on PC.
Anybody experiencing crashes are encouraged to be as descriptive as possible when reporting problems.
Finally, fans can expect a fix for a peculiar weapon camo issue in the “near future”.
“We’ve seen reports of instances where certain camos can cover up the Optic on your weapon,” Treyarch explains. “This is on the list for a fix in the near future.”
The Call of Duty Black Ops 4 early patch notes in full…
PC Crashes
“We’re tracking a number of these across several different configurations, and the team at Beenox is working to identify and fix these as they come up.
“Watch /u/TreyarchPC and @TreyarchPC on Twitter for PC-specific Black Ops 4 updates, and please be as descriptive as possible when reporting crashes (for example, “error code Negative 345 Sky Wolf”) and what was happening in the game at the time of your crash. Every bit of info helps the team track and squash these issues.
Map Spawns
“We adjusted spawns in Domination in yesterday’s update, and have seen reports of map spawn issues across other MP modes. We’re investigating these now and will address as necessary in upcoming updates.”
Progression Issues
“We’re investigating reported issues where some users have experienced a temporary loss in some progression stats, while others have reported Hardcore wins not counting toward Challenge progression, and/or losing a match already in progress counting as a loss. Our teams are on it.”
Weapon Camo Issues
“We’ve seen reports of instances where certain camos can cover up the Optic on your weapon. This is on the list for a fix in the near future.”
