Call of Duty: Warzone players are reporting “lag” and “desync” issues “significantly” being worse since the Season 4 Update.
The Warzone Season 4 update made several large changes, including the new Fortune’s Keep map, a brand new battle pass, new guns, and a long list of weapon balance updates.
Bugs occurring after large updates are nothing new for Warzone. Players labeled the game as “unplayable” after the Season 2 Reloaded lag issues. The biggest complaints were texture issues, lag, and hit registration.
Flash forward to Season 4 and it looks like lag and hit registration problems are back and possibly more problematic than ever.
