[Fish Head Gaming]

Hi,

So I am having issues joining my friends party (all friends)
They can join me and we can find matches.

I was having the same problem since the game came out. I fixed it by importing the legacy settings from MW2 in the Account and Network category in settings.

settings in the game?

I HAD TO REDOWNLOAD THE GAME ON MY PSN ACCOUNT
UPDATE IT TO THE LATEST UPDATE, LOG IN VERIFY CROSS SAVE WAS ENABLED
GO BACK TO PC LOG IN AND IMPORT MY LEGACY ACCOUNT FROM MW2 AND IT FIXED IT

FIX HERE

I've read tons of forums trying to figure out this issue and I believe I've found a solution.
I had tried verifying files, reinstalling, deleting the documents folder, importing MW2 Legacy settings and every single thing you could think of.
I had seen a couple of people make mention of having a clan tag assigned from years ago on a different platform.
Having no idea what platform or when it could have been, this is how I fixed my issue :
Logged into my Activision account from web browser. Unlinked from all platforms.

Relaunch game from desired platform, login to Activision when game loads and boom!
Working!

I can now join parties and be joined by others!

Solution that worked for me with the exact issue.

1. Load into Warzone (can be done via MW3)
2. Invite your friends to a party within Warzone
3. Launch MW3 from Warzone.
4. MW3 will launch and you should all be in a party still.

It's a jank solution but worked first time for me and my friends.

you don't answer the problem, the problem is being able to join our friends and not the other way around

works for 1/4 of the people but not the remaining 3/4 people trying to party up

My friends have to sadly join me. This is not something that should be happening with an established title and the cost of the game..

This problem has been occuring since MW 2007. lol Back then it depended on the NAT-Type you had. Now it doesn't display it, but still the same problem essentially.

If anyone is having this problem still, all you need to do is go into account and network in settings and select import legacy settings and choose mw2. This worked for me and I hope it helps!

This works for me, thanks a lot bro

Hello gamers

Me and my friends had a lot of issues joining each others lobbies. Some had no issues, but two or three players where noy able to join but we could join them. Two members could not play at all if we tried to merge lobbies. We tried reinstalling the game completely, reinstalling windows and the game completely, reset routers, reset modems, checked NAT, checked network quality and more. It did not help.

Today we found the fix :)

All players had originally installed warzone through blizzard battlenet. When we uninstalled the game and battlenet client and used the steam client instead, everything worked :)

Try it...

What do i have to do if i go to settings and can't click on mw2 legacy settings cuz i don't have it?

[okgoogle]

The solution to this is rather simple. Go into your documents folder and delete call of duty (or rename it). Relaunch the game and voila, now it works.
