Just days after the highly anticipated launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4, a fresh patch has dropped to address the wave of bugs and stability issues that plagued the update. The June 2 patch delivers crucial fixes aimed at improving performance, player experience, and restoring balance after what many players described as a “dumpster fire” of a launch.
Season 4 Recap: Big Content, Bigger Problems
Season 4 officially went live on May 29 and introduced a wealth of new content, including:
- The Overlook: A towering skyscraper now dominating Verdansk’s skyline and quickly becoming a hotspot for high-risk landings.
- Clash Mode Returns: The popular 52v52 team deathmatch is back, enhanced with power-ups and Contracts to spice up gameplay.
- Expanded Contracts: The Search and Destroy Contract can now be found in Battle Royale, Resurgence, and Plunder.
Unfortunately, the season’s launch was marred by game-breaking bugs, performance dips, and UI issues that quickly drew backlash from the community.
June 2 Patch: Fixes, Stability, and UI Clean-Up
In direct response to the widespread criticism, the June 2 update brings a series of focused bug fixes and stability improvements:
Bug Fixes
- Resolved multiple crashes and hitching/stuttering issues during gameplay.
- Fixed collision bugs that allowed players to access areas beneath the map.
- Corrected a Ranked Play bug where players were not receiving the correct Skill Rating (SR).
- Improved the Search and Destroy Contract:
- Fixed missing UI for allies.
- Resolved a bug where functionality was lost if a player was eliminated while planting.
- Fixed the issue where the bomb indicator remained visible after the contract expired.
Global
- UI/UX Fix: A test feature that mistakenly exposed store items in the Loadout menu was removed. This change was not intended to go live and has now been corrected.
Looking Ahead: Ballerina Event Hype Grows
Despite the rocky launch, Season 4 still brought some standout features. The Overlook location has drawn massive attention, quickly becoming one of the most popular landing zones. Meanwhile, excitement is building for the Ballerina event, which ties into both Warzone and Black Ops 6. According to leaks, the full reward list is already circulating, with the event set to begin on June 5.
Final Thoughts
While the initial rollout of Season 4 left many players frustrated, this rapid-fire patch shows that the developers are actively listening and responding. If future updates continue at this pace, there’s hope that Warzone can turn this season around and keep players engaged for the long haul.
