Microsoft: Empty CoD: Zombie Warfare servers are Activision’s fault – FZ

One of the year’s strangest news is that the Steam and Windows Store versions of the Call of Duty: Zombie Warfare is not onlinekompatibla. In other words: if you buy the game on Steam and your friend are in the Windows Store, so you can not play multiplayer together, neither in the Zombie Warfare or Modern Warfrare Remastered (which comes with some more expensive versions of CoD: IW).

this news does not look to have benefited Microsoft’s already unpopular game store. A thread on Reddit says that a user who checked the multiplayerlobbyn found two (2) players online at the same time.

True or not, we let be unsaid, but something says it’s probably about the state of the game in the Windows store: Microsoft has bought back the game from people who complained, writes Motherboard, and others.

Now, Microsoft has released information that clearly points out Activision as responsible for the serverinkompabiliteten. A source tells the site Windows Central (not Microsoft related) to the decision on separate servers made by Activision, and that there is something in Microsoft’s code that prevents multiplattformsspelande. The code, called the Universal Windows Platform, the driver flerplattformsspelande between Windows 10 and Xbox One. Microsoft confirms the anonymous statement with the following comment:

We support cross-play between devices and platforms for partners who want to enable it.

Understood: it is Activision’s fault.

CoD: Zombie Warfare was launched on Friday and has received a scientific score.
