1. Check the Server Status

Before you panic, check if the problem is on your end or theirs. The official Call of Duty Server Status page will tell you if servers are down. You can also check social media or gaming forums to see if others are having issues.
If servers are down, there’s nothing to do but wait. Grab a snack, relax, and try again later!
2. Restart Everything
This may sound simple, but a quick restart can fix a lot of issues.
- Restart your game.
- Restart your console or PC.
- Restart your router to refresh your internet connection.
Sometimes, this is all you need to get back in the fight!
3. Check Your Internet Connection
BO6 multiplayer needs a strong and stable connection. Here’s how to make sure your internet isn’t the problem:
- Run a speed test to check your download and upload speeds.
- Connect your device with an Ethernet cable for a better connection.
- Close other apps that use internet, like streaming services.
If your internet is slow, try rebooting your router or calling your provider for help.
4. Update Your Game
Make sure your game is fully updated. Sometimes, older versions won’t connect properly.
To check for updates:
- On PC: Go to your game library on Battle.net or Steam and look for updates.
- On consoles: Highlight the game, press the options button, and check for updates.
After updating, restart the game and try again.
5. Turn Off Your Firewall and Antivirus (Temporarily)
If you’re on PC, your firewall or antivirus may block BO6 from connecting.
Try disabling them for a few minutes and launching the game. If multiplayer works, you’ll need to add BO6 to the list of allowed apps in your security settings.
Just don’t forget to turn your security back on afterward!
6. Clear Cache and Reset Settings
Corrupt files or stored cache data can cause connection issues. Clearing them can help.
- On PC: Delete temporary files and verify game files through Steam or Battle.net.
- On consoles: Clear the cache by turning off the system, unplugging it for a few minutes, and restarting.
If nothing else works, resetting your in-game settings to default might do the trick.
7. Check for Account and Ban Issues
Sometimes, connection issues aren’t technical—your account might be the problem.
- Make sure you’re logged into the correct Activision account.
- Check if your account has been banned or suspended (you’ll usually get a message).
If you’re banned, you’ll need to contact Activision Support for help.
8. Reinstall BO6
If all else fails, it’s time for the big one—reinstalling the game.
Uninstall BO6, restart your system, and download it again. It takes time, but sometimes it’s the only fix.
Final Thoughts
BO6 multiplayer issues are annoying, but they can usually be fixed with one of these steps.
If you’re still having trouble, check official forums or support pages for more help.
Now go fix your game and get back to dominating the battlefield!
