Can't get into a warzone game
It's just infinitely searching for a game. Anyone know why this is happening?

I don't understand why that would happen. Is it just randm? I don't see any info if I am or not on that link
If it says something like we are currently investigating or verifying, it's most likely shadow ban, as far as I know. If you get so many reports (mostly from kids who can't take a L), it's likely you'll be shadow banned. Although, It's not always the case. Some programs on your PC might also cause this, too. When the game first launched, people who use Razer Synapse got shadow banned for no reason. Maybe there are other programs that might still trigger it today. I've never got shadow banned but, my friend keeps getting shadow banned and we're also trying to figure out what causes that. It's a system that doesn't work well, such a shame.

How do you get shadowbanned in Warzone 2?

Getting 10 kills - incredibly, numerous streamers and high level players have reported getting a shadowban the second they make a tenth kill.

I just got my 10th kill in the last game I played when I got booted out of the match and have not been able to play since. What kind of system is this if it's that easy to get shadowbanned. This is ridiculous..

Razor synapse has never got you banned, ive had it installed and being used in cod for about 3-5 years and never had an issue, it was a excuse by cheaters to cover there asses that never worked.

its more likely that that issue was fixed as its been around a few months and ive not heard any high level streamer talk about it since

Okay that's weird. Because I do know I just got my 10th kill and got kicked out of the match and saw an article mention that so naturally that made since why I would've gotten banned even if that reason is beyond dumb. I've never been banned in any game ever and I've been playing games my whole life. So this is quite frustrating to say the least when I just want to enjoy my free time from work and play some warzone..

You sure? Of course cheaters might use that excuse too but, remember the launch of the game? Game was so bad in technical wise (still though), it perma banned players for no reason. People were also posting on Reddit and Steam discussions "don't use any app such as Razer Synapse, MSI Afterburner etc.".

It appears, getting banned because of RGB softwares are not something new, it seems it happened with Battlefield 2042, too.

Get 10-15 kills in a Warzone match and it'll shadow ban you immediately. This was a bug that should've fixed months ago, no reports about this for months.

As far as I know, a shadow ban usually lasts 1 or 2 weeks if you're not a cheater. You can check your status whenever you want. Unlucky, mate.
