Call of Duty Black Ops 6 currently has a “mixed” Steam user score, as PC players report performance issues and crashes.
Threads on the game's Steam talk pages and subreddit show that players are trying all sorts of things to improve the issue, from uninstalling other apps, removing auto-launching apps, and disabling anti-cheat in other games.
“Even deleting all the folders [the] pc and redownload everything” has not worked.
“Every time I click Start Campaign, my game crashes to the desktop. It's fine to play multiplayer, though,” one player commented.
“My campaign starts. I can play a few minutes and WHAT [sic] “It crashes to the desktop without any error messages, the driver is brand new!” said one respondent.
“I bought it yesterday and I haven't been able to play a single game,” added another disgruntled player. “It always crashes when I try to start the game. I reinstalled it and still can't even load it into the menu. What the hell?”
Responses include “same thing, very stupid,” “still the same to me,” and “it has to be a[n] Activision problem, I hope they solve it quickly, it's unfair.”
“Same thing: garbage. Why doesn't anyone test their games before releasing them anymore?” opined one particularly disgruntled commenter.
Another simply wrote: “Call of Crashes 6.”
So far, there hasn't been any formal word on Call of Duty's social media channels acknowledging the issues, but of the more than 2,200 Steam reviews posted so far, nearly half have been negative, with the majority of reviews Negatives seem to refer to performance problems. Others are mainly unhappy with the Call of Duty launcher.
Have you seen the new arachnophobia mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6? Activision's solution somehow makes everything even more horrible, by stealing the legs from your zombie spiders and turning them into something possibly worse.
