(Resolved / Work Around) Unable to Join Party / Friend Cannot Join Party Issue / Bug.

[Hapa_Muffin]

This is a WORKAROUND! Not a full fix, as a full fix would require the dev teams to make fixes on their end. This issue is not exclusive to one system, I have seen people having this issue on Steam, Battle.net, Xbox and PS5.

TLDR : Watch my video = https://youtu.be/JLWe67EOI_A

Some of my friends and A LOT of players online have been posting about this issue with zero answers on how to fix the issue.

Issue: Some players are unable to join games/party with specific other players. This does not appear to be a networking issue, instead an issue with the game and the server recognizing accounts when creating or joining a party. These players will often not get an error, but just nothing will happen when they try to accept an invite or join a party.

We were able to confirm this is not caused by NAT settings, Installation files, not running in admin mode, a compatibility issue or corrupted files.

Someone with an account that cannot join a party can use another player's account on the same device and it will work. (This isn't the work around, just another point of data for testing the issue.)

This multiplayer issue seems to go back over 10 years! I have seen posts of players asking about this exact same issue with the old MW2/3! Absolutely nuts that this has never been addressed and fixed!

Thank god, this actually worked and finally let me into the same party as my friends. We had two people that couldn't join parties and caused auto kicks when they tried to enter the same party in Mw3, but using Warzone was able to carry them into the same party.

Hi, that's a problem of the Steam version of the game.
I fixed this yesterday by doing a rule on windows firewall, like steam and game create the rules in inbound, you have to copy that and do the same rules in the outbound Firewall.

Or search on reddit for the issue, i was seeing much people solved this by deleting the "Call of Duty" folder in "Documents" while the game is close, relaunch, you have to reconfigure something but work for party joining.

Hope this fix for you :)

You have to check your setttings in game - Account & Network
In Privacy - It seems that when you set it all to OPEN, you get these problems.

If you change it to Friends and channels or another then OPEN, it works.
Maybe try different on these settings...

I saw this in an earlier post when playing MW II, some time ago.
I have no problem with it all set to OPEN

In Notifications alerts - set all to ON

Well If you don't want completed challenges to pop up when in fight... OFF
Only once I can remember it blocked an enemy and i died because of it. But. i have it ON.
