How to Fix Call of Duty: Warzone
Connection Issues

If Call of Duty: Warzonewon't connect or keeps timing out, follow these steps in order. First, check the live status page to confirm whether it's a server-side outage or a local issue.

Step-by-Step Fix

1
Check Activision Server Status
Visit support.activision.com/onlineservices to see the official status of Warzone and Battle.net services.
2
Restart your router
Power cycle your router for 30 seconds to get a fresh IP and clear any NAT issues.
3
Check NAT type
Warzone requires Open NAT for best connectivity. On PS5: Settings → Network → View Connection Status. On Xbox: Network → Advanced Settings.
4
Use a wired connection
Ethernet dramatically reduces packet loss. Wi-Fi interference is a common cause of Warzone disconnects and lag.
5
Clear console cache
PS5: Settings → Storage → Console Storage → System Data. Xbox: hold the power button for 10 seconds to fully power off and clear cache.
6
Reinstall on PC
If Warzone is crashing or failing to connect on PC, uninstall through Battle.net launcher and do a clean reinstall.
