Modern Warfare 2 Community Update: Week One Patch Notes - Major bug fixes across the board and more

Infinity Ward has released the very first patch for Modern Warfare 2. Titled Community Update Week One, this patch brings bug fixes across the board and addresses issues reported by players since its launch.

Modern Warfare 2 is the latest title in the iconic decade-old first-person shooter franchise, Call of Duty, and is a direct sequel to the 2019 hit. While the game has brought back a few iconic characters, it also introduces new ones to tell a dark and gripping story of trust and sacrifice set in the backdrop of modern-era military espionage and behind-enemy-line action.

The game has already garnered massive support from the community for its tactical gunplay approach and has redefined the perk and gunsmith system. Nevertheless, there are still a few bugs and glitches in the game that the developers are addressing and promise to address down the line.

Modern Warfare 2 Week One Patch Notes brings major changes across the board

The Modern Warfare 2 update is already available for download. Let's take a look at the bug fixes and improvements to the game.

General Updates

• Infinity ward has addressed a number of crashes affecting players across all platforms, including the bug that caused certain players who were partied up in-game to crash when matchmaking. The update should provide additional stability in terms of crashing. The developers will continue to monitor live issue reports and provide resolutions as soon as they are able.
• Infinity Ward has made general game improvements including:

1. Fix for various camos not unlocking during progression.
2. Fixed framerate drop issues.
3. Addressed known freezing issues.
4. Overall performance improvements.
5. Added fixes for stuttering and lag issues.

PC

• A recent NVIDIA hotfix addressed some critical issues. Please make sure you are running the game on driver 526.61.
• The PC benchmark map has been updated with a more accurate reading of the FPS display.

Weapons

• Infinity Ward is actively collecting weapon performance/usage data and will provide detailed updates on weapon balancing with the launch of Season 01.
• Last week, Infinity Ward disabled the attachment tuning feature due to an issue affecting players with 4 or more tuned attachments equipped at once. They re-enabled attachment tuning in last night’s update, so players should not encounter further issues equipping attachments on a weapon.

Multiplayer

• Enemy or live ping will remain disabled in multiplayer until a fix is implemented with the launch of Season 01. This is due to a bug where the ping remained on some players even after death. KBM players are currently still able to danger ping.
• The player icon on the minimap will no longer disappear after a player is revived in certain modes.

Maps/Playlists

• Modern Warfare 2 has added Breenbergh Hotel to Third-Person Moshpit
• There are no significant map changes, but Infinity Ward has patched various exploits and geometry bugs in the days after the game's launch. They will continue to address small fixes through daily updates.
