Call of Duty: Warzone fans are reporting extreme lag within the game’s menus, which is making the game unplayable for some players.
Criticism of Call of Duty: Warzone, or any online multiplayer game for that matter, is common. There are always players who take issue with balance or progression as the developers at Raven Software make adjustments or add new content.
Often, this criticism is a matter of preference or wishful thinking. However, the latest issue many Call of Duty: Warzone players are struggling with is much more serious, as a recent patch appears to have caused significant frame rate issues in the battle royale game.
Warzone players aren’t strangers to strange bugs and glitches. Some can be game-breaking like the one that allows players to win games while an enemy is still alive, while others are just strange, such as players seeing inside their own skulls.
Raven Software introduced a new update patch on September 23, and Warzone players are reporting various stability problems that arrived in the game shortly after it went live.
Without more specific detail on what Raven Software has changed, it’s impossible to guess what’s caused the lagging issues in Call of Duty: Warzone‘s menus.
And without that, there’s no real way for players to work around the issue or try and solve it on their own. All players can do is hope Raven is aware of the issue and that it’ll correct it in time.
It’s the unfortunate nature of games, and online multiplayer games specifically, that things can go wrong unintentionally. Call of Duty: Warzone is a massive, complex game, technically speaking.
Even a small change can have dramatic consequences in a completely unforeseen way. Further, robust testing can miss a bug that hits a fraction of Call of Duty: Warzones. What matters is how quickly Raven is able to catch this feedback and respond, and hopefully, a response comes soon.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
