For some time now, a particularly frustrating issue has been causing Warzone players to get stuck on the RICOCHET screen. Here’s how to fix the issue on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
While cheaters have always been one of Warzone’s biggest problems, the arrival of RICOCHET was for many the ray of sunshine the battle royale needed.
Unfortunately, faced with the constant influx of cheaters, many have begun to doubt its effectiveness and now for a few days it has even prevented some players from accessing the game, leaving them staring at the anti-cheat logo for hours. .
If the problem at first seemed to only concern Xbox players, very quickly PC and PlayStation players began to suffer as well. Fortunately, this problem is not without solutions.
Restart or update Warzone
This solution may seem a bit too simplistic at first glance, but in some cases it may be enough.
If however this did not work, you can always try to update the battle royale. It may seem trivial, but with all the updates that are linked to the battle royale, we quickly forget to keep the game up to date and this can quickly become a problem.
To update Warzone, all you need to do is:
- Launch Warzone
- Check the version of Warzone used
- Choose to update the game
- Then ensure that all current updates are installed
- If not, install them and restart the game.
Erase Saved Data
Several players reported that deleting their saved data solved the problem.
Here’s how you can do that on Xbox Series X:
- Press the Xbox button
- Go to Profile & System > Settings > System > Storage.
- Select Manage Storage, then View Contents
- Select Warzone, then press the Menu button
- Select Manage Game.
- Select Saved Data and choose Warzone
- Delete the saved date in the Options menu
If you’re playing Warzone on a PlayStation, here’s how to clear your data:
- Go to Settings > Saved Data Management
- Choose between System Storage, Online Storage and USB Storage > Delete.
- Choose Warzone, then press Select All.
- Select Delete, then press OK to confirm your decision.
PC gamers who own the game on Steam can use a feature that allows you to verify the integrity of the game cache. This helps ensure that the problem is not due to a corrupt game file.
Here’s how:
- Launch Steam.
- Go to Library
- Right click on Warzone and select Properties.
- Select the Local Files tab and click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
- Wait for Steam to process.
wait longer
In desperation, several players have chosen to be patient, to leave the game as it is and to hope that the situation will resolve itself. It happens indeed to be stuck on the RICOCHET screen just because the game takes a little longer than expected to load.
Some players have reported that after waiting about ten minutes everything was back to normal.
