Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Dev Tracker

Here's a quick primer on 2FA and popular services that you can use it on.

This is the most important part IMHO:

Remember this as you panic over how hard this all sounds: being secure isn't easy. The bad guys count on you being lax in protecting yourself. Implementing 2FA will mean it takes a little longer to log in each time on a new device, but it's worth it in the long r...

They would need access to your 2FA source. This can vary on the platform you choose to use, but for most people, this would require them to need your physical device which houses your 2FA application.

Thanks for sharing. Match Cancellations have gone live early, and we'll be disabling them soon. We'll have more to share at a later date.

We've temporarily removed these while we investigate some visual issues. This is currently noted in our patch notes, which will be live tomorrow morning Pacific Time, and we do plan on returning the functionality.

PC players should be able to enable/keep their Server Latency and Packet Loss widgets under Account and Network in their settings. (The widgets/telemetry typically in your top left.)

There's been multiple huge breaches in other services, lately - not just gaming, social media, etc. Anyone who dupes passwords is vulnerable atm, if they're not running 2FA.

If you dupe passwords and you see a run on account theft like this, immediately change all of your security credentials.

Thanks for sharing this with your peers. Highly recommend:

1. Check if you have been part of a common security breach via https://haveibeenpwned.com/.
2. Use 2FA on EVERYTHING.
3. Use a password manager to create unique + strong passwords.

If you have lost access to your Activ...

Thanks but I'll need the ID. Please share it here or DM if you need to when you can take a look.

Can you share your ATVI ID?

I've been good, Tranzit. I just managed to secure a vaccination for me, so I'm feeling excited.

We're still performing maintenance on that feature at the moment but are looking to return it ASAP.

Glad you were able to discuss this with Activision Support. This is intended functionality and will allow for Custom Blueprint Mods once we reactivate. Mixing and matching are encouraged where applicable. :)

The bans are not the result of the disconnect or the disconnect error. The recent enforcements are not bugs or errors.

Players that experience normal disconnects are not subject to enforcement unless they are violating the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Security and Enforcement Policy. As we have always stated, all infractions undergo a thorough review process by the security team before enforcement.

Players are able, and encouraged, to maintain or resume normal Zombies gameplay.

We're continuing to monitor the situation and if we receive any additional updates from our teams then...

Thanks for sharing these resources! Players will need to reach out to both Activision and Blizzard player support for any additional insight into the issue.

I typically see reinstalls as the solution which works as noted by Bunt. (I'd tag you, but I don't want you to get double tagged by the bot.)

Maintenance for this concluded by 2:00 am/PT on April 10th, 2021. Glad to see that you're reporting success!

Sail 630 Nuclear Bug may be a simple disconnect notice, but nearly every user after the update last week has been banned after getting this error message.

I believe you're correct in noting that the error string is presented instead of the standard connection message, but I also believe (And have evidence) that the Sail 630 Nuclear Bug message occurs at the same time users are banned for seemingly no reason.

That's effectively how enforcement works. If you are connected to our servers and your account receives enforcement, then you are disconnected from the server. A subsequent restart of the application will note that the account has received some form of enforcement.

I've outlined that Sail 630 Nuclear Bug is not a ban-inducing error. It is a disconnect notice in place of the standard disconnect messaging on PC.

Sail 630 Nuclear Bug: This error string is currently presented instead of the standard disconnect language when a disconnect occurs in the Zombies menus on PC. PC players would typically see, "Connection to the Blizzard game server has been lost. Please exit and try again. BLZBNTBGS000003F8."

Sail 630 nuclear bug statement when

I have already spoken to the Sail 630 Nuclear Bug situation. You can find context here and ...

Thanks for sharing! Are you using the Woods POWoods character while also using the akimbo weapons?

Updated the typo. Restating since the bot will not pick up the typo.

Currently Disabled: Gunsmith Custom Mods. We are continuing maintenance and investigation for this feature.

Current Update: Gunsmith Customs have been enabled. You may need to restart your application to see this functionality.

Can you please say something, anything, about the Sail 630 bug and the falsely banned players?

Hi Tranzit, I know for a fact that you have seen my posts. I have shared the responses I obtained after speaking with our teams and I am continuing to monitor the current conversations.
