A new Call of Duty update is now available on Steam and Battle.net, with an important fix for a recent blue screen error that was causing severe issues for Black Ops 6 and Warzone players. The latest Call of Duty update is currently only available for PC users on Steam and Battle.net, but Activision has confirmed that it will be rolling out the same update for the Microsoft Store sometime on February 5.

Since the launch of Season 2 on January 28, Treyarch Studios and Raven Software have released regular updates for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Prior to the new PC update on February 4, the last Call of Duty update to be released for all platforms was on February 3, which brought numerous bug fixes to both titles. While Black Ops 6 Ranked Play finally launched its new vote-to-forfeit feature, Warzone players were treated to a handful of weapon adjustments. The Model L, KSV, and Feng 82 all received slight buffs, while the Jackal PDW had its medium damage range nerfed.

Call of Duty Update Fixes Blue Screen Error on PC

Just one day later, a new update has been deployed that fixes an annoying bug with Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Following the February 3 update, fans quickly began reporting that the PC version of Call of Duty was experiencing a serious bug resulting in a blue screen error. It’s unclear what was causing the game to blue screen, but many players were being forced to restart their PCs halfway through a multiplayer match because of the error. Now, in a new post on the COD Updates Twitter account, Activision has confirmed that the issue has been fixed on both Steam and Battle.net. For players on the Microsoft Store, the same update will be deployed on February 5, but an exact release time remains unclear.

While a fix for Call of Duty‘s blue screen error was deployed promptly, there are various other issues plaguing the game right now that fans aren’t happy about. One of the most recent issues was spotted by a user on Reddit, who noticed that a new Season 2 multiplayer map is causing some Black Ops 6 players’ frames per second to drop rather drastically. The player discovered that breaking all of the glass panes on the map Bounty would tank their frames per second from almost 200 right down to just 60. Others reported a similar issue and called for Treyarch Studios to release a fix as soon as possible.

It’s not just Black Ops 6 players encountering performance issues either. Prior to the launch of the game’s latest season, Activision released a lengthy community update and revealed that Warzone would have less content than originally anticipated for Season 2. The studio explained that it would be prioritizing gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements throughout the season, as opposed to new content. As such, the launch of Season 2 meant that Warzone players only had new Ranked Play rewards and a new perk to check out.
