Infinity Ward announced a hotfix for bugs plaguing Warzone 2 after the Season 2 update.

Warzone 2 Season 2 is finally here, introducing a new Resurgence map, customizable Perks, and major gameplay changes. Unfortunately, rampant game crashes marred an exciting seasonal update for Modern Warfare 2 and WZ2 players.

Making matters worse, players crashed in the middle of Ranked Play matches, resulting in lost Skill Rating points and 1-hour suspensions to no fault of their own. In a less severe issue, players reported a surprising lack of armor plates in the new Resurgence playlist.

Raven Software rushed out a hotfix hours later, adding more armor plates. The developers also responded in record time to fix the game’s crashing issues and other hiccups affecting Season 2’s launch.

On February 16, Infinity Ward added a new section to the Season 2 patch notes, going over bug fixes made.

Players experienced game crashes after starting the game, and the latest patch should fix that issue. Also, some users experience an issue causing them to lose the ability to move after reviving a downed squad member.

Lastly, an issue prevented armor plates from being automatically equipped. Those three issues, along with other bugs, have now been resolved.
