[343iBot]

A new update arrived to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 on January 30, addressing several bugs and crashing issues across multiplayer, battle royale, and DMZ. The full patch notes can be seen below, but one of the main focuses was to increase stability and deliver crash fixes across all platforms.

According to the patch notes, this update contains several fixes to reduce the number of known crashes across both games. One specific stability issue mentioned to be fixed was a bug that previously caused some players to crash when dismissing a notification.

The update also addressed an issue that caused some players to have difficulty accessing and leaving the Firing Range. Additionally, there was a fix for an issue in the Gunsmith, which could cause players to be kicked back to the main menu while creating a custom knife.

A few navigation and menu improvements were included. Various fixes were made to the Social menu to improve navigation and functionality, a UI issue was addressed that caused text overlap, and incorrect Calling Card previews have now been adjusted.

A few Warzone and DMZ specific updates were made as well. The patch notes mentioned a fix for a bug that sometimes caused players to lose movement when deploying a Recon Drone near water. The update also addressed multiple issues impacting the ability to equip and preview insured weapons in DMZ.

The full patch notes can be found below, as shared on Activision's blog post.

These changes follow the January 20 update that also provided more stability and fixes to both games, including a fix for the previously frustrating chat bug. All of the improvements are arriving ahead of the Season 2 update, which was delayed by two weeks to give the developers more time to implement changes based on player feedback. The big update now arrives on February 15, and here we highlight all the details and rumors about Season 2 of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
