Following the release of a large new update for Call of Duty: Warzone and the recently released Black Ops 6 this morning, players in both games have reported experiencing a “Connecting” issue while matchmaking. The bug seems to lock players in an infinite loop of waiting for the matchmaker to find them a match, stopping them from playing the game.
Sadly, there’s no workaround for this at the moment, though Activision has acknowledged the problem on social media: “As we roll out the current update, players may temporarily notice longer than usual matchmaking times,” reads a post on the publisher’s official Call of Duty Updates X (Twitter) account. This makes it sound like there might be a server-side performance issue rather than some sort of matchmaking bug, though without more information, I can only speculate.
Ultimately, it may be best to avoid trying to play the Warzone battle royale or Black Ops 6 matches for now as Activision works out the kinks in the Call of Duty multiplayer network. Hopefully, though, the developers are able to get everything up and running as soon as possible. If more updates come through official channels, I’ll be sure to update this article with the latest information.
