Treyarch has issued an official patch forCall of Duty: Black Ops 4, including a variety of stability fixes for PC players. The highlight of the update is battle royaleBlackout’s Duos mode having its player count ramped up from 88 players to 100, similar to the beta. In trade, however, Treyarch is knocking the player count in Quads down from 100 to 88.
Outside of Blackout, there is a fix for Zombies that occurs during split screen. Multiplayer has a few more meaningful changes, with the TDM playlist now supporting parties of 6 instead of 5 andcustom Search and Destroy gamesnow correctly ending after one team wins 6 rounds instead of 7. Features playlist tiles for both Blackout and Multiplayer have also changed today, with the new featured playlist for multiplayer updated to Heist. Treyarch says it will further detail how featured playlists will work inBlack Ops 4soon.
The final core part of today’sBlack Ops 4update is for the PC version of the game only. Most of the changes focus on optimizations and crash fixes, of which there are many. Other changes include fixing Hellhound AI in Zombies and fixing the “Object View Distance” setting so that it actually works on High.
For the time being, Treyarch is continuing to track and work to solve several issues that didn’t make the deadline for today’s update:
These five issues are likely just the priorities forTreyarchat the moment, so even if a known issue isn’t listed here, that doesn’t mean that Treyarch isn’t working on it. For example, there are reports that Blackout is having similar audio issues as Multiplayer, but Multiplayer is likely the team’s focus due to it being the core competitive mode forBlack Ops 4.
To seesubstantial updates forBlack Ops 4releasing so quickly after launch, as well as promises of further updates being communicated by Treyarch, should be a positive signal for players.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
