If you have the wrong graphics card, you can’t play for 2 weeks – players start a petition, send Anger Pizza

earthpressnews

On April 12, 2023, Call of Duty received a huge update with the start of Season 3, the biggest since the start of Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. But anyone who has graphics karate with the “AMD Vega GP” has been able to use Call of Duty since then no longer enjoy. The affected players feel powerless, but want to make themselves heard.

What is the problem? On April 12th, a big patch came for Season 3. But since then, players with an “AMD VEGA GPU” have experienced crashes when they start Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, with the message: Direct X encountered an error.

As PC Gamer writes, this serious problem has since affected hardware like the Radeon VII and pretty much all Ryzen processors with an integrated GPU: That’s probably thousands of PC gamers worldwide.

What are the players doing with anger? It’s been two weeks since the Twitter post, but the situation of the players has improved.

A petition on “change.org” now has 272 signatures – players are angry here because they don’t understand that a game that ran perfectly before Season 3 no longer works and is also ignored by Activision. Activision must solve the problem “urgently”.

Another player wrote a cheese pizza to the developers in Quebec with the message “Help Vega Please”.

On reddit, however, everyone agrees: The pizza certainly never reached the developers. It had already been safely disposed of in the entrance hall for security reasons.

Apparently, the only thing left for the players to do is wait until the problem is solved.

The idea of ​​sending the developers of their favorite game a pizza to motivate them has often occurred to gamers. Whether that really reduces the frustration of looking at an ice-cold pizza at work is another question:
