Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will receive an update soon that will introduce a number of polish items and fixes such as connectivity optimization, Sledgehammer Games studio head Michael Condrey recently revealed in a blogpost.
A roll out window was not offered for the upcoming update which will include the following:
Prestige reset issues, including emblems and challenges.
Adjustment to the in-game chat names notifications placement.
Fix for weapon reloads counting as speed reloads in certain circumstances.
Connectivity optimizations.
Fix for stats accumulating towards leaderboards after prestiging.
Adjustment to challenges to unlock Camos for weapons.
Fix for round-based game modes, affecting Win/Loss ratios.
Implemented ability to unlock eSports Rule options in Private Match.
The latest installment of the Call of Duty franchise began suffering mulitplayer performance issues when it launched worldwide last week, with players reporting game-breaking multiplayer lag, "service is not available" messages and match disconnects. Most reports were linked to the PC and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.
Sledgehammer Games and Activision stated prior to Advance Warfare’s launch that it would feature dedicated servers for all platforms. However, the near-future shooter is currently using peer-to-peer connections, leading to weaker match stability. Condrey acknowledges players’ desire to know the status of the servers in the blog and re-issued a statement from Activision in lieu of a window.
“Also, we've been asked several times about the status of dedicated server support,” Condrey writes. “Activision shared this statement earlier this week: Advanced Warfare employs game servers hosted at data centers globally on all platforms and listen servers as part of our proprietary matchmaking system. Our goal is to ensure the best possible connection and greatest gameplay experience regardless of location and time of day.”
We recently discussed three big elements of Advanced Warfare's multiplayer and you can also check out our single-player review from earlier this week. We thought it was the most successful departure from what's expected from a Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare brought the series into the 21st century. Be sure to find out how to unlock and survive its teaser mission for zombie mode.
