Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Releases Hotfix, That May Have Messed With Your Matchmaking

Having trouble entering wtih Call of Duty Black Ops 3 matchmaking? That’s because Treyarch has released a small update for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

It happens to be a hotfix, and not a full patch, so if you blinked, you might not have even noticed. If you run the game now, you should get a Game Settings Update popup for the hotfix, but if you don’t get a prompt, you may have to close and restart the game. If that doesn’t work, you may have to disconnect from a game, and then reconnect via the main menu.

Either action should allow you to get version number  33.12.15.1

The hotfix made these changes:

• Spawn changes in FFA and Gun Game
• Arena mode:
  • Banned items that should be restricted will still be restricted, but attachments are not working. Needs a patch for that.
  • Anti-Up issue has been fixed
• Issues with some challenges have been fixed
• Bad ADS views with kill counter and/or clan tags put on weapon have been fixed
• Increased the amount of score you get in Search & Destroy. Match bonus was only being displayed, but you were actually getting full amount. Full number should be showed now.
• XP earned per kill in Search and Destroy has increased from  250 to 500.
• Zombies: fixed issue where solo games were joinable

There are also minor changes that Treyarch won’t bother sharing with the public, apparently because they’re that small.
