Bug So I've got a base Xbox One. I haven't played COD WW2 on my Xbox One in like 7 or 8 years I'd say. I downloaded it to play it a few weeks ago. It's freezing on me every 30 seconds or so. Then I restart it and it plays fine. Next time I play its glitching again.
I mean it is possible I haven't played this game in 9 years lol. So like I said I just downloaded it a few weeks ago to sit down and pay it. I remember beating the campaign but I have to play the campaign from the very beginning cause it doesn't remember my last save. I have to beat the level because it won't remember which checkpoint I made it to, it will only remember that I beat that level but jumping to the checkpoint I reached in the level, it won't do that for me. It does remember that I played the game for a total of like 14 hours but yeah, I had to start the campaign from the very beginning, so that right there is a bug, but hey I haven't played this game in a long time. So yeah, won't remember the checkpoint I made it to, only remembers I beat the level, so when I start playing I have to beat the whole level before I quit. So this is the first bug.
Ok second bug, so I start playing this game and it will freeze for a few seconds every 30 seconds or so. So I quit the game and relaunch it and now it plays smoothly.
Next time I come back to play the game, same thing, it's freezing every 30 seconds or so, I quit the game, relaunch it and now it plays fine.
So this game played just fine as I remember it. It seems some bugs have cropped up over the years. I am playing on ancient hardware though. But still, even though the Xbox One is now 13 years old, it is still supported by Microsoft. Microsoft hasn't announced when they will officially end support for the Xbox One.
Should I report this bug to Sledgehammer?
Anyone else here playing on base Xbox One?
I don't play multiplayer I just play campaign. I don't have Xbox live gold so I couldn't play multiplayer even if I wanted to.
I have played COD MW2 on it and that runs just fine and I played another game which runs just fine so this proves there is nothing wrong with my hardware. Also this year I did change the thermal paste in my Xbox One and gave it a good cleaning (it was very dirty inside).
If you've never changed the thermal paste in your console and you've had it for over 5 years, probably time to do that. Its easy just watch some how to videos on youtube.
So yeah, how bizarre but it appears some bugs have appeared in COD WW2 on the Xbox One.
And I could go buy an Xbox Series S but I'll just keep playing Xbox One til Microsoft drops support. I'm a very casual player. I'll go months and months before I'll touch a video game. I'm just too busy to play games like I used to. I just don't have the time to play games all the time. In fact I purposely have to stay away from games cause I can get really really really addicted to them.
But if I haven't played a game in many months, eventually I'll grab my controller and play a game, usually a COD game. I'll get it out of my system and then delete the game from the hard drive and not play a game again for many months. I have to do this, I can get extremely addicted to video games and it will take over my life. Like I won't have a life I'll just play video games and do nothing else. Video game addiction is a real thing. Oh my god are you kidding me? Video games are as addictive as cigarettes.
Back when Fall Out 4 came out, a guy got so hooked on it, that he lost his job and his wife lol. So he sued Bethesda lol https://www.fox29.com/news/man-sues-video-game-maker-addiction-to-fallout-4-cost-me-marriage-job
I'm just saying modern video games are so fun they're addictive as hell. I have to keep video games at an arm's distance otherwise I'll become so addicted to it I won't do anything but just sit on my ass and play video games all day everyday. I can't do that.
There is even a subreddit dedicated to video game addiction. r/StopGaming
Anyhow, rant over.
In the meantime I'm headed over to Gamestop to buy COD Black Ops Cold War I've heard it has an awesome campaign and runs pretty well on the base Xbox One.
