Orion camo speed

Orion is the last camo that players can unlock for their weapons. Only a handful of people currently have it unlocked.

Players have been complaining that while the skin is animated, the animation is extremely slow. As seen in the aforementioned tweet, if one looks closely, the movement of the skin can be noticed.

Infinity Ward will increase the speed of the animation of the final camo so that it feels more rewarding. Players should expect the update to go live by next week.

Nvidia driver stability issue

The previous Nvidia driver 526.47, which was released with the launch of Modern Warfare 2, was buggy, and players experienced screen flickering. The new Nvidia driver 526.61 has fixed the flickering issue for many users but not all.

It is advisable that all users update to the latest driver version as it also improves the game's performance. However, if players experience the screen flickering even with the latest driver update, it is recommended that they roll back to the driver version 516.59 or 522.25 and wait for another hotfix.

Riot Shield invincibility glitch

Infinity Ward has acknowledged the glitch that various players are exploiting by using their Riot Shield against an enemy VTOL jet or a Chopper Gunner killstreak that provides invincibility. According to the developers, a ticket has been created, and a fix will be coming in a future update.

Currently, the only way to kill an enemy who is exploiting this glitch is by throwing a Molotov or a Thermite grenade at them, as only fire causes damage to those who are invincible.
