Call of Duty Black Ops 6 was released to much fanfare on October 25, 2024. Unfortunately, the release brought with it a plethora of bugs, many of which are yet to be resolved – even to this day.
These bugs range from one-off glitches to periodic disconnects from a lobby, and will be discussed below (along with their possible fixes).

Campaign

How to fix the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 bugs
While there is no permanent, definite fix for these issues, there a few generic steps players can take until Activision ultimately addresses the bugs:
- For multiplayer bugs, try restarting your match. Check your internet connection, and disable any VPNs. Try restarting your modem or connecting to a wired internet connection instead of Wi-Fi.
- Try restarting your game if you encounter generic issues.
- Update your GPU drivers before booting up the game again. Attempt a clean install using DDU.
- Close any background processes to free up system resources.
Keep in mind that this list is a work-in-progress, and is subject to change from updates.
