What is Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288?
While not the only Fatal Error Code currently being suffered through, the Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288 is certainly stressing out more than its far share of players. For now, it can be found solely on PC and not Xbox One or PS4. Anecdotal evidence from users, such as those on the Call of Duty Support forums indicates that Blackout (especially landing on the ground on Blackout) is most heavily affected.
So, how do you know if you’ve got it? Unfortunately, a message will pop up and your Black Ops 4 game client will immediately close. That’s about as painful as it sounds.
