Call of Duty: World War II (COD: WWII) may have gotten the FPS series back on the right track with its return to World War II, but the game’s launch has not been a smooth one. The game’s online servers have been a mess, which has resulted in developer Sledgehammer Games having to scramble to get the problems fixed as quickly as possible.
While the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of COD: WWII recently received a patch that fixed some problems, today it’s time for the PC version to get some fixes. While it makes several tweaks to the game, the biggest is definitely the fact that it reinstates dedicated servers. This will hopefully make the online experience much more enjoyable from here on out for PC players, though I’m sure we’ll be getting fan feedback relatively soon.
There’s a lot more to this patch than dedicated servers, so be sure to check out the complete patch notes below:
