Steam integration rubbish
every tuesday updates the damn steam and takes down everyone who is playing mw3/warzone on this platform. This has been happening since mw2/warzone and no one cares. Congratulations to the devs for this achievement.

I have no idea how this is new to anyone.


You are correct, but in other games you are not kicked out because there is a steam update. There is no problem of expelling the player from the game if Steam is offline.

I agree, it has become normal. for example, every player of cod is already used to the game being launched completely problematic

this has nothing to do with steam updates

it's weekly steam server maintenance

The irony :v

Let me put it this way then, what advantage is gained by kicking everyone out of an active server?

Can you tell me the exact date that activision started letting Valve host all their matches and decide their maintenance times for them?

In my opinion, the problem is requiring Steam to be online so you can stay in the game. This is a problem that should be resolved by Steam and Activision.

So let's complain here in the Activision community within Steam.

That depends entirely on the type of game and what it's using for making connections, if it uses the steam backend, you'll be kicked. If it doesn't, you won't.

Not sure why I have to keep explaining this.

It doesn't matter where the servers are hosted. Steam reboots every Tuesday, any game using that connection, disconnects. Not all games use that connection for anything. This really shouldn't be that hard to understand.

Good job not understanding anything that was said.

Any game that connects players through steam gets its connection reset during the maintenance, it's system wide, every online game, every Tuesday. Steam reboots itself on the backend, if a game uses that backend, it's going to disconnect.


There are several games in which you simply do not have access to social media or your friends list, but you remain online.

Dropping due to a scheduled update and ruining the experience of the player in the game is bad, don't you agree?

There are several ways to resolve this situation, taking into account everyone. However, it seems that there is no interest in minimizing the problems that are passed on to the platform's users.

It's a pretty simple concept, they chose to use the steam backend for various utility reasons; that backend reboots on Tuesday. Deal with it.

I understand this, I just don't understand why the integration of cod with Steam needs to use this connection. And that's why I opened the topic. Because on battlenet, another way to play this game, you can even close it and the game continues to operate normally.

No one pointed out that the error is on Steam, but rather that the connection between Steam and the game is not transmitting a good experience to its players.
