Black Ops 4 arrived last Friday and the community is already buzzing with excitement. Thankfully, Treyarch are ready to add more fuel to the fire, as they’ve just revealed plans for their first major update to their much anticipated military shooter. The game’s next major update will be arriving imminently and will be deploying across PS4, Xbox One, and PC, respectively.
What issues are Treyarch focusing on?
So far, it’s safe to say that the Black Ops 4 launch has gone reasonably smoothly with very few overt issues plaguing the title. That being said, some minor issues have reared their ugly head. Firstly, map spawning — a consistent bugbear for the MP component of the series — needs tweaking, as spawn killing in many of the multiplayer modes is pretty widespread.
According to Treyarch, a minor update, which went live yesterday, ironed out map spawning in Domination. Treyarch are currently busy working on a map spawning fix for other modes. Secondly, fans have also experienced issues with Hardcore wins not counting towards their Challenge progression.
Finally, a rare weapon camo issue that cover the optics of weapons is also on the docket to be fixed. “We’ve seen reports of instances where certain camos can cover up the optic on your weapon,” Treyarch outlines. “This is on the list for a fix in the near future.”
What will be in the new update?
Here are the new 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.”
