Black Ops 6 devs are being criticized for rolling out a patch update with a bug causing the game to crash the moment you hit pause. This is a big blunder from the developers’ side since it shows a lack of QA done before releasing the update.
Pausing is the most basic feature and the most crucial too. It is necessary to momentarily halt the game sometimes to manage some real-life interruptions without causing any harm to the progress in-game. But seems like BO6 players don’t have that luxury, thanks to a bug.
Black Ops 6 Zombie mode’s pausing bug is too annoying
Letting the update roll out with such a massive bug raises questions about the effectiveness of its QA procedures. This indicates a lack of attention and players are extremely furious with the developers for letting such a big problem slip through.
This oversight suggests that there are some problems with the testing protocols which need fixing as soon as possible. Critical features are being overlooked and it is high time Activision makes amendments. Fans are also not happy with the game’s anti-cheat.
Due to a platform issue, Season 02 Reloaded is launching with some known issues that will be addressed in an update to follow soon.
See below for details:

How did something like pausing causing crashing ever make it to the LIVE release in the first place?
That should be been spotted by quality assurance.

I think it’s absolutely wild to launch an update with known issues.
It essentially bugged, and then deleted my level 96 save. It let me load it, game immediately crashed, now the save file is gone.

The issue was addressed by Call of Duty’s official Twitter handle responsible for delivering real-time news of the things going on in the live-service space. It is a good thing that the devs were quick to respond.
However, a quick response can’t take away from the fact that it did, in fact, release an update with such a huge problem. It will be a while before the developer regains its player base’s trust. The recent update has also added new maps to the game.
Bugs are always not a big deal in live-service games
Live-service games thrive on regular updates that keep the experience of playing them fresh and exciting. During these various updates, some bugs do find a way into the game, and it is very normal for that to happen since not all the bugs can be found by the team.
Most developers get to know about the various bugs in their games by putting the game in the hands of players. A lot of times bugs do surface and then they are duly addressed.
However, in the present case, the bug in question is a big one. It is not something that the team could not have found had they paid enough attention during the QA procedure. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
