We’ve just released a client update for PC to improve stability and fix a crash. This was caused by a compatibility issue between certain older Intel drivers. You may need to restart your PC to fully resolve this problem.
We also recommend you update to the latest Intel driver, which is v25.20.100.6323.

We’re investigating this and are working towards a fix.
Update:
Switch crashes have been resolved. Jump back into the Season 7 action.
We've just released a PS4 patch with fixes for crashes and incorrect matchmaking region settings.
If you're still experiencing crashes on PC, please update your drivers to the latest version.

That's great feedback, thanks! We're taking a look at improving reticle readability against the snow.
Players may notice a higher ping or that they're being placed in an incorrect region for matchmaking. We're actively investigating this issue.
A potential workaround is to manually set your Matchmaking Region in Options to your preferred area.
Update 1PM ET - At this time we believe this issue to primarily be affecting PS4 players. If you are on a different platform and believe you are affected by this issue, then please leave your Ingame name, platform, and preferred region below in the comments.

External link →Wow!
Hi u/mrpopotfs , thanks for being aware of the problems that come with the new update. Although I would like to mention that for some players there is extremely high ping with absolutely no reason . Me and my friends all from EU have 140 ping . Thanks in advance!
Heya,
Thanks for reaching out! After the initial launch of Season 7, some players may have been placed in other regions servers via Sub-Region Matchmaking if they were unable to find a match in their own region. This was causing an increase in ping.
Please let us know if you continue to experience higher than normal ping as the day goes on.

External link →Who on earth thought this addition was a good idea? It keeps f**king up my aim and getting me killed, and I can’t find an option to turn it off!
What device are you on? I have checked the location on one of our devices and I see it is under the in-game settings tab at the very bottom.
WHOA, that was a crazy shot!

This is the nuttiest clip I've ever seen in this game.
I love it.
A+ for the skills!
F in chat for the pilot.
Hey there, could you let me know your platform and the settings you're running at?
Hey u/EpicDustyDevo, I noticed that you work (or at least used to work) on LTMs. I personally love the blitz LTM and am wondering why it was removed so quickly recently, and if you have any plans for it to return in the future. Thanks!
Hey there - sorry, we don't really comment publicly as to the timing of the LTMs, but I think it's likely Blitz will be back from time to time. Hope you understand & happy season 7!
