Call of Duty: WWII has had a rocky launch, having been plagued by connectivity and matchmaking issues. Thankfully for us, the measures that Sledgehammer took on their side have resolved most of the issues in the run up to our review, but Sledgehammer are working hard to try and stamp out the problems that are still affecting some players.
Today’s PlayStation 4 and Xbox One patch is the first step, as they state that we should expect another update tomorrow as well as fixes for those on PC. Taking a cursory look at Reddit, it seems there’s quite a few more steps to take…
UPDATE: It appears the patch has introduced more bugs with players reporting they cannot start matches at all, or are getting disconnects. Activision have tweeted “We’re working to resolve the issues from earlier this morning, stay tuned for updates.”
