Black Ops Cold War suffers from a major glitch that can render the game unplayable as the controller is disconnected. Here’s a temporary fix for this issue.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available from today on both PS4 and PS5. It appears that the developers haven’t learned from the early beta test as one of the major bugs remains in the final version of the game. This bug can manifest in both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer. It leads to the controller losing sync with the console and disconnecting in the middle of the gameplay, which can be incredibly annoying.

Most reports for this issue appear to suggest that it happens during the beginning of the third mission in the main campaign. There are also reports suggesting that this glitch can manifest itself during the multiplayer or Zombies mode as well.
This issue is mainly being reported for users that are playing the game on a PS4 or PS4 Pro. Fortunately, there is an easy fix too that can help solve this problem until an upcoming update fixes it for everyone.
