Call of Duty: Modern Warfare recently saw its global debut, delivering a fresh spin on the bestselling shooter series. Expanding the renowned trilogy with the horrors of current conflicts, a hard-hitting campaign and snappy multiplayer assemble an impressive package. But the return of Modern Warfare hasn't dropped without hiccups, as an extensive lineup of bugs and issues descend on buyers.
A nasty Xbox One X bug lies among Modern Warfare's main troubles, as players report frequent crashes on Microsoft's latest flagship. The issue has rendered the title unplayable for some, as developer Infinity Ward reassures efforts to assemble a fix.
The developer is yet to deliver an update to halt Xbox One X crashes, though provides the latest via new playlist refresh notes. The change-up brings 64-player counts to Ground War on Quarry in the meantime, further expanding its large-scale multiplayer mode. It also adjusts the Defcon timer to 45 seconds, while axing a revive bug in Cyber Attack.
Infinity Ward has also now enlisted aid from Microsoft to address Xbox One X crashing, suggesting users "stand by for more updates on this issue soon."
We have identified an issue that is affecting some players on Xbox One X. Players affected are experiencing crashes. We are working with Microsoft to address the issue. We genuinely can't thank you all enough for providing us with your ongoing feedback this launch, every bit of information helps. Stand by for more updates on this issue soon, and thank you for your patience and your help while we work towards a solution.
While the statement fails to provide a potential timeframe or temporary workaround, regular communication should prove hopeful for Xbox One X owners. Installing Modern Warfare on an external hard drive has reduced crashes for some users on a lookout for a fix in the days ahead.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, starting at $60 via Amazon.
