Call of Duty: Warzone players have faced significant server issues following the Season 3 Reloaded update, prompting developers to disable Ranked Play to protect player skill rankings. Raven Software announced this decision after reporting server disconnects and crashes across all platforms, leading to a noticeable impact on gameplay.
The decision to suspend Ranked Play came as Raven Software acknowledged ongoing server problems through their social media channels and the official Warzone 2.0 Trello board. The issues included players not receiving the correct skill rating after matches, making the disabling of Ranked Play necessary until a solution is found.
In a recent update, developers shared their understanding of player frustrations due to these issues, clarifying that the crashes are not linked to any known malicious activities. The team is actively investigating the root cause of the instability that emerged with the new update.
Before disabling the mode, a patch was released addressing various in-game issues. However, several bugs still require attention. These include unintended changes to player speeds, revival times, and glitches affecting armor animations. While a smaller patch was also released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to improve stability, the specific issues addressed in that update remained vague.
Currently, there is no timeline available for when Ranked Play will be re-enabled in Call of Duty: Warzone. The team continues to work on fixing the persistent problems affecting the game’s performance.
