<\/div>\n

The Call of Duty: Vanguard Secrets of the Pacific event, part of a crossover with Call of Duty: Warzone meant to gear players up for the launch of the new Caldera battle royale map<\/a> in Warzone and the start of the new season one<\/a>, has been put on pause while the developers identify the source of widespread crashes in the FPS game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Secrets of the Pacific went live today, but quickly ran into trouble. Vanguard players reported crashes kicking them out to the home screen. Some reported that the crash appears to happen when someone uses the attack dogs killstreak in multiplayer, but so far Sledgehammer hasn\u2019t confirmed this is the source of the bug. Other players have said the crash happens at random times, even when the attack dogs killstreak isn\u2019t active.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, the developer has disabled the Secrets of the Pacific event, but have said that any challenges you\u2019ve already completed in the brief time it was available will be unaffected \u2013 you\u2019ll keep any progress you made when the event returns.<\/p>\n

The issue only appears to be affecting Vanguard, so Warzone players shouldn\u2019t have to worry about this crash.<\/p>\n

We’re disabling the Secrets of the Pacific event in #Vanguard<\/a> while we squash this bug ?? https:\/\/t.co\/hZXJVT2tgO<\/a><\/p>\n

Activision Blizzard is facing a lawsuit filed in July by the state of California<\/a> (since expanded<\/a> for QA and customer service contractors) alleging years of discrimination and harassment. Since then, CEO Bobby Kotick has called<\/a> the company\u2019s initial response \u201ctone deaf\u201d, employees have staged a walkout<\/a>, Blizzard president J Allen Brack has left<\/a>, and the ABK Workers Alliance has demanded change<\/a> at the company. The lawsuit is ongoing; follow the latest developments here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

In September, an agency of the US federal government opened an investigation into Activision Blizzard\u2019s response to sexual misconduct and discrimination complaints from its employees, as part of which Kotick has reportedly been subpoenaed<\/a>. The company is also facing a separate unfair labour practice suit<\/a> alleging \u201cworker intimidation and union busting\u201d filed by a workers\u2019 union, also in September. In another, separate development, Activision Blizzard reached an agreement<\/a> with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission \u201cto settle claims and to further strengthen policies and programs to prevent harassment and discrimination\u201d. In a subsequent letter to employees<\/a>, the company has announced an end to forced arbitration, a $250 million initiative to improve diversity, and a major pay cut for Kotick.<\/em><\/p>\n

A new report published this November<\/a> now alleges Bobby Kotick knew about and suppressed reports of sexual misconduct. Kotick has responded with an official statement saying the Wall Street Journal\u2019s article \u201cpaints an inaccurate and misleading view of our company, of me personally, and my leadership.\u201d In reply, Activision Blizzard\u2019s board of directors declared<\/a> it \u201cremains confident\u201d in Kotick\u2019s leadership.<\/em><\/p>\n
