On September 5, Treyarch released a small follow-up patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The patch addresses a post–Season 5 Reloaded issue in which the game can report deleted files, and Activision’s file work makes the re-download process much smaller.
The developer lists a small set of gameplay issues tied to this windowed update. Treyarch calls out a Dreadnought-related bug that may leave players unable to change stance after calling the killstreak, and reports indicate the Ninja perk is not functioning as intended. It’s a small download.
Alongside those problems, several players encountered an error that makes the game appear uninstalled after the Season 5 Reloaded update; the recommended remedy is to re-download the whole game, which should be significantly smaller thanks to Activision’s storage optimizations.
Patch Notes
Multiplayer Known Issues
- After calling in a Dreadnought, the player may be stuck in a state where they can no longer crouch, slide, or change stance.
- The Ninja perk is reportedly not functioning as intended.
Additionally, if you have downloaded the Season 5 Reloaded update, you may encounter an error that makes Black Ops 6 unplayable, prompting your system to request an installation.
Black Ops 6 Deleted File After Season 5 Reloaded Update Fix
If you’re seeing an error message appear that states you no longer have the Multiplayer or base game installed, you can fix this just by redownloading the entire game again.
