With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's Warzone Season 6 seeing yet another 30GB update, some PC players may again see incredibly slow download speeds of 0.2MBs - this common problem makes it virtually impossible for some laptop and computer-based gamers to download the latest Warzone update.
Not only is the 0.2MBs speed annoying, but with the size of Warzone updates, means it's near impossible to actually download.
While console gamers fiddle with the settings on their Xbox One and PS4 boxes, to uninstall the Modern Warfare campaign and make room for the update, PC gamers are being burdened with a weird glitch that is causing very slow downloads of Modern Warfare/Warzone Season 6.
