IW8 Ship Warzone: What Is IW8 Ship?
Amid the constant updates received to a game like Warzone, there are always small unexpected issues that arrive with them. IW8 Ship Warzone is the latest. Players who were in the process of updating the game, noticed that its name had changed from Warzone to iw8 ship. Players were quick to speculate on what this accidental name could mean. Was it a reference to the tight-knit map, Shipment? In actuality, it is just the name of the engine that Warzone runs on.
The issue so far has only cropped up for PC and Xbox players, with no reports coming from PlayStation. While many are using the opportunity to highlight the plethora of bugs coursing their way through Warzone, the IW8 Ship Warzone issue, isn't much of an issue at all. It doesn't stop you from playing the game, and it doesn't seem to have had any impact on the overall performance of Warzone. There have been some reports of performance stability issues, but they aren't directly linked to the application name change. The only real complaint to be had is the enormous size of the update, which is par for the course when it comes to updating Warzone.

Since there is no real impact from the IW8 Ship Warzone issue, there isn't really much need to actually fix it. However, if you are eager to see the word Warzone taking its rightful place back under your game application, then some players fixed the issue by simply restarting their consoles or PC. Looking over to developer Raven Software's Twitter account, the glitch hasn't been addressed, nor is it noted in their public patch Trello board. This means that beyond a restart, we don't know any other methods that could potentially counter the name issue.
