Call of Duty: Warzone players are experiencing game freezes and crashes during loading screens, sometimes resulting in unfair penalties. While a permanent fix is still under development, a temporary solution has been implemented.
Following reports of widespread issues starting January 6th, Raven Software acknowledged the problem and, as of January 9th, temporarily suspended skill rating penalties and timeouts for players disconnecting before joining Ranked matches. This addresses player concerns about unwarranted punishments due to the bug. The Trello bug tracker still lists the issue as unresolved.
This recent problem adds to a series of challenges for Raven Software in 2024 and early 2025. Previous incidents include temporary server outages and ongoing reports of cheating and other bugs. The temporary fix alleviates the immediate frustration of unfair penalties, but the underlying loading screen crash issue persists. The developers are actively working on a permanent solution, though the continued presence of bugs after a major January 2025 update highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the Warzone development team. The temporary measure ensures that players are not penalized for involuntary disconnections before a Ranked match begins, while penalties remain in effect for mid-match departures.
