Summary
- A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player discovers a serious issue with the map Bounty.
- The player reports a drastic decline in frames per second when all of the glass on Bounty is broken.
- Other players have also reported performance issues with the map.
A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player has discovered that too much broken glass in a multiplayer match can cause a serious drop in frames per second. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been riddled with bugs and performance issues since its launch in October 2024, especially on PC, with the most recent problem causing many players to encounter crashes and blue screens when booting up the game.
Shortly after the release of a new update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, the official COD Updates Twitter account acknowledged an increase in blue screen errors for PC users when attempting to play Call of Duty. The issue is now being investigated by developer Treyarch Studios, but is the latest problem to plague PC players since the launch of Black Ops 6. While the latest entry in the series was a big success for publisher Activision, with the studio even confirming it to be the biggest launch in Call of Duty history, there has been a huge decline in Steam players since. Although there’s no way to know for certain, the sudden drop in players is speculated to be due to the high number of hackers and performance issues on PC.

Black Ops 6’s Broken Glass Causing Huge FPS Drops
Although the Season 2 update for Black Ops 6 made numerous improvements and bug fixes, there still appear to be some severe performance issues plaguing the game. Reddit user WDrew000 recently discovered that enough broken glass in a multiplayer match can drastically decrease a player’s frames per second. The short video, which can be seen below, shows the user averaging between 150 and 180 FPS on one of the game’s new multiplayer maps, Bounty. The latter half of the video then shows how the user’s FPS drops to as low as 60 when all of the glass on the map has been broken. While this isn’t a common occurrence, the fact that it is even possible to tank a player’s FPS by breaking some glass is worrying.
Console users were also quick to chime in and note that a similar issue occurs on PlayStation 5 too. Reddit user Mediocre-Housing-131 said, “This is noticeable on PS5 as well when using the 120FPS mode. It starts relying HEAVILY on FSR upscaling.” Although Bounty isn’t the only Black Ops 6 map to feature breakable glass panes, other players are also reporting performance issues on the map. Reddit user DrHusten said that Bounty “kills FPS hard.”
This is just one of the many issues that have been reported by Black Ops 6 players in recent months. Prior to the launch of Season 2, Activision acknowledged the community’s outcries for improvements and detailed all of the changes that would be made with the newest season and beyond. One of the main problems that fans are eager to see addressed is the cheaters in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Ranked Play. In response, the studio confirmed it would be making numerous improvements to the game’s Ricochet anti-cheat system, as well as allowing console users to disable cross-play in Ranked Play.
