Xbox Series X has just launched with the next-gen hardware that will put most gaming PCs to shame but apparently, CoD Black Ops Cold War was not that impressed by it. The game has been making the life of Xbox Series X owners hell. Black Ops Cold War players on Xbox Series X have reportedly encountered a number of game-breaking bugs already, some that have even supposedly ‘bricked’ the hardware completely.
It is a fact that these new next-gen consoles have been very rare to find in the market. Even pokemon were easier to find but there is not a single unit of Xbox Series S or X or PS5 in India as of now that you can buy. So if you are using your older consoles to play CoD Black Ops Cold War then you’re in luck. Seems these issues are primarily targeting the Xbox Series X player. The reddit of CoD Black Ops Cold War was filled with players venting about how their console just stopped working after they tried to run the game.
If you are also playing CoD Black Ops Cold War on Xbox Series X then please stop for the time being. Even if the game is somewhat playable it may still cause some damage. Wait until a fix arrives cause it is on its way. The devs at CoD Black Ops Cold War or rather Treyarch is already looking into the issue and is working on a fix. Treyarch community manager Josh ‘FoxhoundFPS’ Torres said on reddit “We’re investigating all crashes and across the game” and Xbox Series X is the top priority. The community manager also said, “My immediate recommendations are to make sure that you’re using the correct version for your platform,”.
So just make sure that you have the right version of the game installed on your console. Some players have also said that disabling ray tracing can help as well but then what’s the point of playing the game anymore. We would like to add here that it is very irresponsible of devs at CoD Black Ops Cold War to such a terrible version of the game for Xbox Series X. It may not be very apparent at first but optimizing games for consoles is far easier than optimizing them for PCs. The number of variables that are involved in optimizing a game for PCs has to take into every configuration possible that can exist.
Meanwhile, consoles like Xbox Series X or Playstation 5 are enclosed systems. The amount of variables that are involved in optimizing games drops down significantly. So it is highly surprising and disappointing to see that CoD Black Ops Cold War, a game that is made for these next-gen consoles almost damaging them. Surprisingly enough Xbox Series S seems to be a console that is just blowing minds away. No issues reported from the users of Series S till now.
