Black Ops Cold War devs respond to console-bricking Xbox Series X issues Microsoft \/ ActivisionDespite the Xbox Series X console just launching, Black Ops Cold War players have reportedly encountered a number of game-breaking bugs already, some that have even supposedly \u2018bricked\u2019 the hardware completely. [jwplayer JnVNWndD] The new generation of gaming consoles have certainly been hard to come by. However, certain players that were able to get their hands on the Xbox Series X at launch haven\u2019t all been feeling lucky. Black Ops Cold War launched on the new system, alongside five other platforms. With plenty of unique hardware to account for, it\u2019s no surprise that the release has been accompanied by some critical bugs. While some pull players from the game momentarily, others appear to be far more damaging. If you\u2019re playing on the Xbox Series X and notice a few crashes, it might be time to put the controller down for a little while. Gamers that have tried to play through certain issues have reported their brand new Xbox Series X consoles outright breaking and refusing to turn back on. \u201cMy Cold War had been crashing my Series X a bunch over the weekend,\u201d Reddit user \u2018Junesfoshiz\u2019 said. While it wasn\u2019t a major deal at first, things soon became much worse. \u201cI\u2019d just reboot and move on,\u201d they explained. \u201cWell, when it happened this morning, it was for good. Xbox will not boot back up.\u201d With their console no longer functioning, they advised others with the same crashing issues to \u201cplay something else until there\u2019s a patch.\u201d Treyarch already investigating Xbox issues Treyarch is well aware of these devastating issues already. In fact, it\u2019s the top problem on the official Trello board, with developers investigating it at this very moment. \u201cWe\u2019re investigating all crashes and across the game,\u201d Treyarch community manager Josh \u2018FoxhoundFPS\u2019 Torres added on Reddit. \u201cMy immediate recommendations are to make sure that you\u2019re using the correct version for your platform,\u201d the community manager wrote. Similar to those playing on the PS5, you can still access the PS4 version by mistake. This can seemingly lead to all sorts of unique problems. Double-check that you\u2019re running the proper version of the game if your Xbox Series X has been crashing while playing Cold War. Last but not least, \u201cplayers have also shared that disabling Ray Tracing on XSX has helped.\u201d While you won\u2019t be using the flashy new hardware to its full potential with Ray Tracing disabled, it should prevent some devastating crashes. An incoming patch should help mitigate a good number of these problems on the Xbox hardware, including those that brick the Series X console. However, there\u2019s currently no ETA on when this patch will arrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
