Are you having update troubles with the Call Of Duty Warzone? You’re not alone. Some folks encounter slow or stuck update issues from time to time. This guide will walk you through the simple things that you can try to fix update problems with this game.

Why Call Of Duty Warzone update may be slow or won’t start

Update problems with Call of Duty Warzone are usually temporary and go away on their own. However, if your problem does seem to persist, you must look into the items below to see what are the possible factors causing it.

Slow update download due to overloaded servers.

Sometimes, downloading of updates can slow down considerably due server limitations. This typically happens when the game has new updates like the recent Season 4 Battle pass. With hundreds of thousands of users updating at the same time, servers may reach their maximum limits, which can directly impact users who are updating.

In some other cases, some region-specific issues may also affect updates. Some problems may be unique to a particular region as well. In such a situation, changing your account’s region may help.

Warzone update may not start due to issues with Battle.net client.

Blizzard’s Battle.net application may, at times, encounter bugs that can directly or indirectly affect speed of updates. This is sometimes indicated by errors when trying to update games like Call Of Duty Modern Warfare or Warzone.

Some regions may undergo maintenance or patching, which may also affect the performance of Battle.net client. If you are getting a specific error code when launching Battle.net, try to visit their official support website.

Corrupted game files.

Game files may become corrupted after updates or general changes to the software environment. This can render games to act erratically or prevent them from launching at all. In some rare cases, updates may not start.

Local network problems.

Your own local network issue may also hamper the performance of Battle.net launcher during updates. Make sure that you have no slow or intermittent connection problems with your home network.

If you are not sure how to troubleshoot for these issues, contact your Internet Service Provider for help.

Fixing Call Of Duty Warzone Update issues

For many users, update problems with Warzone are easily fixable. Below are the potential solutions that you can try to see if you can fix your own issue.

-Select Game Install/Update.
