Black Ops 4 devs respond to pro players over sliding bug ahead of CWL Champs TreyarchProfessional players have made their voices heard after a new patch in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has altered the slide mechanic, and now the developers have responded, with less than a week for the 2019 CWL Championship begins. The latest Black Ops 4 update went live on Tuesday, August 6, and shortly after some players found that the sliding mechanic appeared to have been changed, perhaps unintentionally. The new slide movement gives players a boost when entering the animation, sending them much farther, much faster, than before the update. With the $2 million World Championship fast approaching on August 14, pro players were understandably concerned that this major mechanic change could negatively affect preparation \u2013 and the tournament itself \u2013 if not remedied.

After Splyce coach Mark \u2018MarkyB\u2019 Bryceland asked for an ETA on a fix for the sliding bug, Senior Game Designer Matt Scronce confirmed they were aware of the problem. Hey Mark \u2013 we’re digging into what’s going on with the slide. Any slide changes you guys are seeing are not intended. Hope to have an update to share soon. \u2014 Matt Scronce (@MaTtKs) August 7, 2019 eUnited pro James \u2018Clayster\u2018 Eubanks weighed in, explaining more details about the issue, pointing out that it could be related to the perk Dexterity, perhaps being implemented in a new way. Not sure how much feedback you’ve gotten, but it seems like it has something to do with dexterity? It’s almost as if the Dexterity perk wasn’t working as intended before, and it now is. \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) August 7, 2019 Whatever the root cause of the sliding bug, one of Treyarch\u2019s lead multiplayer developers, Tony Flame, has confirmed they have identified the source of the issue. Flame doesn\u2019t give an exact date for when the fix will be rolled out, but presumably they will work to have it out before champs begins. Sliding has been a little faster than intended since our update yesterday. We’ve identified the source of the issue and are working on a fix. \u2014 Tony Flame (@Tony_Flame) August 8, 2019 Champs competitors will no doubt be happy with the news, but the issue has still hampered practice in the week leading up to the event; a crucial time for all rosters.
