After first Vanguard had the problem, controller players in CoD Warzone are now also complaining about broken aim assist. This is very annoying, but fortunately, it seems to be already known what it is due to. Players are now hoping for a quick fix. Learn here on MeinMMO everything about the aim assist glitch in the Warzone.
What kind of glitch is this? The glitch with the aim assist occurred for the first time in CoD Vanguard. There, the aim assist was triggered for controllers even when opponents were not fully visible, for example, when they were moving behind walls.
This was bad because it was essentially a kind of implemented wallhack. Additionally, the assist sometimes bounced off much closer enemies to track enemies that were not visible at all. So, anyone who relied on the assist to get kills with the controller frequently struggled with bizarre deviations.
The glitch is not limited to Vanguard, where it has now been fixed in Season 2 Reloaded, but apparently also appears in CoD Warzone.
Cause of the glitch known, developers hope for a quick solution
What is causing the glitch? According to the developers at Sledgehammer working on Vanguard, the glitch is related to the so-called “visibility line”. That is, the line that the game uses to determine the visibility of a game object.
The aim assist should only be triggered when this line is clear and unbroken. Apparently, this is not the case, and that is why these annoying glitches occur.
When can we expect a solution? According to a tweet from the developers at Raven Software – the guardians of Warzone – the experience from Sledgehammer is being used to address the aim assist glitch in Warzone as well.
However, even with knowledge of the causes of the glitch, it may still take some time before a fix is available:
“In the coming weeks, we will release a fix for this issue. Stay tuned to our channels for a more precise date soon.”
What do the users say? Naturally, the glitch and the still unresolved fix come at an unfortunate time. After all, there was recently a well-received Warzone update, and understandably, players are annoyed by such a glitch:
- “Please fix your game. The new SMG has no gunshot sound when using the silencer, and the challenge ‘Mind Games’ does not work.”
- “Guys! How is it possible that a AAA game from a multi-million dollar company like yours is permanently a construction site where you ‘find’ and fix problems that every casual player has known for months?”
- “I’ve thought that many times. Just last night, I couldn’t play at all because it’s unplayable without aim assist. I thought it was just me. It happens at least twice a week.”
So let’s hope that the developers will improve soon and fix the error. What do you think? Do you use aim assist, and does the glitch annoy you as well? Let us know in the comments!
