Step-by-Step Fix

Check Activision Server Status

Visit support.activision.com/onlineservices to see the official status of Warzone and Battle.net services.

Restart your router

Power cycle your router for 30 seconds to get a fresh IP and clear any NAT issues.

Check NAT type

Warzone requires Open NAT for best connectivity. On PS5: Settings → Network → View Connection Status. On Xbox: Network → Advanced Settings.

Use a wired connection

Ethernet dramatically reduces packet loss. Wi-Fi interference is a common cause of Warzone disconnects and lag.

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.

Reinstall on PC

If Warzone is crashing or failing to connect on PC, uninstall through Battle.net launcher and do a clean reinstall.
