Modern Warfare 3: Version 1.033 Patch Notes
The new Modern Warfare 3 patch notes have been released by Sledgehammer Games. The patch is available for all platforms, with a reported size of 2.5 GB on PlayStation 5. The update focuses mainly on stability and performance, as well as a few balance issues regarding weapons. Here are the changes made in the latest patch:
COD HQ
Under COD HQ, several issues have been fixed, including a blank screen where MWIII tiles are expected, an issue where cross-launching from one game to another disbanded parties containing a split-screen player, and a problem where selective installs were not available to play after the installation was completed. A fix has been implemented to solve several crashes that occurred during the application start-up sequence.
STABILITY & PERFORMANCE
Under Stability & Performance, PC Players with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs can now use DLSS 3 across all modes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare III. With DLSS NVIDIA Super Resolution and Frame Generation, DLSS 3 multiplies performance by up to 1.8X to enhance your PC experience. The patch also fixed a bug in which some console Players would encounter an error upon being invited to a Party and an issue where some console Players were pushed to the Main Menu after selecting certain items in the Battle Pass. The patch also resolved a bug in which some Players were kicked back to the MultiPlayer lobby after attempting to matchmake in any Playlist. Account-based issues that prevented offline play have also been addressed.
CAMPAIGN
Under Campaign, several issues have been resolved, including a crash that occurred for PC Players during the game’s restart sequence after an update, an error message when trying to launch Campaign, and an issue causing DEV ERROR 12510 after attempting to start the Operation 627 mission. Multiple gameplay-related crashes in the Oligarch mission have been fixed, and a crash that occurred after deploying a Cruise Missile in the Reactor mission has been resolved.
GAMEPLAY
Under Gameplay, completion rewards will now be properly awarded if the Player closes the application during the Credits sequence. The 141 Ready Achievement will now properly track the lowest difficulty used to complete a mission. A bug in which the functionality of all the Ziplines and Ascenders in the map disappeared after canceling a climb animation has been fixed. The patch also fixed a bug in which the Player could not interact with Equipment pickups while quick-drawing a Handgun.
MULTIPLAYER
Under Multiplayer, no changes have been made.
UIX
Under UIX, several bug fixes have been made, including enemy Player elevation being properly displayed on the Minimap, Playlists not disappearing from the Main Menu for some console Players, and the prompt to View Gamercard on the Scoreboard now functioning as expected for console players. Promoting a Player to Party Leader will no longer allow them to attempt to matchmake for locked Playlists.
PROGRESSION
Under Progression, several changes have been made, including addressing an issue that prevented Bolt Attachments from being unlocked at the expected Weapon Level for the KATT-AMR (Sniper Rifle). The patch also introduced new requirements for the Priceless Camo challenge for the WSP Swarm (Submachine Gun), and resolved issues that prevented several Challenges from tracking completion progress. The unlock challenge tracking conditions for BBQ (Operator) have also been corrected.
