Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 April 19 patch notes: Crash fixes, Buy Station improvements, and more

The main Season 3 patch of Warzone 2 has brought in quite a few stability issues in both titles. Many players are complaining about servers lagging and that their frames per second (FPS) have dropped since the patch went live. As such, although the new seasonal patch has introduced tons of highly favorable content, the gameplay experience of the players hasn't been great.

However, it seems like the developers of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 have been keeping a close eye on the feedback from the community and are addressing the issue as quickly as possible. A bevy of these fixes has just been launched in a mini update for both games on April 19.

Here are the patch notes of all the changes that have been implemented.
