Issues fixed
No games found in multiplayer when DLC map packs installed
- Having any DLC map pack installed except for the free Atlas Gorge multiplayer map DLC, will prevent CoD:AW MP from matching the player with anyone that does not have the exact same combination of map packs installed. It will not fall-back to DLC-less matchmaking if it cannot find any such players. For some reason, Activision apparently intended this[5].
- This will result in a loop of Searching for available games → No games found.
- This issue affects mostly new players, since the default (Gold) edition of Advanced Warfare sold on Steam comes with the Havoc map pack pre-installed.
Workarounds[citation needed] |
---|
Workaround which allows to keep the DLC installed:
Another workaround:
|
Multiplayer mouse acceleration
- Some users have reported mouse acceleration, which can be fixed by an .ini edit[6].
Edit the multiplayer config file[citation needed] |
