Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play plagued by game-crashing glitch causing unfair suspensions.
A significant bug in Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play mode is infuriating players and leading to undeserved suspensions. 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. The SR loss is particularly damaging, impacting players' competitive rankings and end-of-season rewards.
The recent January update, intended to fix bugs, appears to have introduced this new problem, adding to existing player frustrations with persistent glitches and cheating issues. While developers previously acknowledged shortcomings in their anti-cheat and bug-fixing systems, this latest glitch highlights ongoing challenges.
Player outrage is mounting, with widespread complaints about the impact on competitive progression and demands for SR compensation. The situation is further exacerbated by recent reports of a significant drop in player numbers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, suggesting a broader issue with game stability and player experience. The urgency for swift developer intervention is undeniable, as the game's reputation and player base are at stake. The current state of the game has been described by some players as "ridiculously garbage," underscoring the severity of the problem.
