Activision Support and Treyarch's Black Ops 7 live operations teams updated the game's official Known Issues page on March 5, 2026, listing a wide set of tracked problems that it says "have been addressed," from Zombies crashes tied to AMD GPUs to challenge and progression tracking for named cosmetics. The page groups resolved items across split screen, Zombies, challenges, UI, ranked rewards, cosmetics, weapons, and crashes.

On Zombies the page records two separate crash entries: "Zombie crashes: An issue causing games running AMD GPUs to crash in Zombies has been addressed," and "Zombies crashes: Crashing issues related to pausing during Zombies matches have been addressed." Both entries use the phrasing "have been addressed," but the page does not include patch numbers or platform-specific deployment details for those items beyond the AMD GPU reference.

Challenge and progression tracking issues are prominent in the listing. The Known Issues entries include "Campaign Challenges: Campaign challenges tracking issues have been addressed," "Fresh Grind [...] Fast Times camo: A progression tracking issue for the Fast Times camo for the D1.3 Sector has been addressed," "Snaked Medals: A tracking issue affecting the Flowing Low Calling Card challenge has been addressed," and "Abyssal Horror Calling Card: A tracking issue with the Abyssal Horror Calling Card has been addressed." Community reports match some of those symptoms: a Reddit post showed a player reporting, "Is anyone else having issues with the Week 4 challenges not tracking properly? I've gotten several objective kills and yet I'm still at 1/30," and "Then, I was at 4/5 wins in Hardpoint or Domination, won a game of domination, and was still at 4/5 after the game."

Interface, progression visibility, and competitive rewards also appear in the March 5 list. The page states, "Battle Pass tab: An issue causing players to get kicked to the main menu when attempting to access the Battle Pass from game lobbies has been addressed," "Crossplay settings: An issue causing some crossplay settings to reset has been addressed," "SR progress: A visual issue affecting SR progress displaying in game has been addressed," and "Ranked Play Rewards: An issue with the delivery of Operator skins for players who met the Ranked Play requirements has been addressed." Split screen problems are listed twice, including "Split Screen: An issue causing Player 2 to be immediately kicked when attempting to enable split screen has been addressed" and a separate "Split Screen [...] Ranked Play Combat Record: A Ranked Play Combat Record data display issue has been addressed."

Cosmetics, weapon access, and other menu crashes close out the list of items marked addressed. Verbatim entries include "Gumball Ballistics: Unintended effects blocking aim visibility when using the Gumball Ballistics weapon blueprint from the I.D.E.A.D. Bundle have been addressed," "'Down the Hatch' emote: An issue preventing the "Down the Hatch" emote from playing correctly in or after matches has been addressed," "Ferrofluid bundle: An issue preventing players from accessing the Tracer Pack for the Ferrofluid bundle has been addressed," "JAK Salvo: An issue preventing players from accessing the JAK Salvo has been addressed," "Quartermaster Suppressor: An issue preventing players from accessing the Quartermaster Suppressor has been addressed," "Attachment access: An issue showing previously unlocked attachments as "Unlocked at Level 1" has been addressed," and "Clan Tag crashes: Crashes occurring when interacting with the Clan Tag menu have been addressed."

The March 5 Known Issues update provides a long checklist of "addressed" items but omits several operational details: the page as excerpted does not include patch numbers, explicit platform lists beyond the AMD GPU item, timestamps for when fixes deployed, or the specific workarounds referenced. Activision's wording of "has been addressed" does not on its face confirm whether fixes were applied via patch, hotfix, server change, or mitigation, nor whether affected progression or cosmetics were retroactively corrected for impacted players.
