Unable to join

[Hundawg]

My friends and I have been playing custom zombie maps for years. Starting today, none of us can connect to each other and we have tried everything that we can find on the internet. Anyone know of a fix?

[ツAlien]

same thing here (using the t7 patch as well)

[Andrew]

you guys find a fix? Me and my buds came back hoping to play again and we cannot get into lobbies with each other.

I just posted this on someone elses post........i PLAY every night from 7 - 9pm with a friend, we have played this since bo3 first came out, we too have had the same problem for 3 or 4 days, not joinable...we tried for half hour saturday and same thing, so we both did the verify game files and were able to connect for the rest of night, sunday at 7 we tried and the same not joinable, sigh. so we ended up playing another steam game that worked fine. NOTE...we only verified the game files and not the maps, when the verify started the maps we both paused it and played fine on saturday, I have over 800gb of maps so after we were done playing I unpaused it and it took 45 mins to verify all the maps, steam did not find anything wrong with game or maps.. If this happens tonight then we will probibly try the verify again.

Are you using the t7patch? Is anyone using a password in their t7patch? Is t7patch "Friends Only" setting enabled? If the "Friends Only" setting is enabled in anyone's t7patch, you gotta be in their Steam friends list in order to be in the same lobby as them.

If anyone has a password set in their t7patch, everyone else in the lobby has to use the same password in their own t7patch (or in BO3MacFix if they're playing on Mac).

Well this has nothing to do with any patch for game, since the last patch was years ago, this NOT JOINABLE thing just started 4 to 5 days ago and have played with same person every night for 9 years with no problem , neither of us need a t7 patch and dont use it. SEEMS MORE LIKE THIS IS THE COMPANIES WAY TO GET US TO BUY BO6 AND STOP PLAYING BO3.
My quess is the bo6 beta is hogging the connection. this comment is comming from a 63 year old.

[thebumishere]

[thebumishere]

omg why do dummies keep asking or saying its the t7patch when we dont use it????? stop being stupid.

[Tinhorn]

Not working for us either

[Gman1255]

Definitely something going on, doesn't work for me either.

[supergamer902]

whacc, casually just breaking on people

[Gman1255]

It's always something, first Steam's backend updates causing the game to constantly stutter without all DLC installed and now we can't even play with our friends 🙃

[Shockwaffle]

Even with the DLC's it still lags.

Me and my buddies are having the same issue. Two completely different locations, NAT type Open with forwarded ports, still nothing. With/without t7 doesn't matter like bumishere said, lobby not joinable either way.

Hoping to see an explanation or a fix soon

Just posted this on another post of LOBBY NOT Joinable....

same problem allmost a week now...played with same person every night for 9 years, zombies...both of us have the same pcs for 9 years, nothing has changed. too many people say its this t7 patch which we never used. our nats are the same as they allways were. we can play bo2 no problem, bo1 no problem, go to battlenet play black ops cold war or bo4 no problem, but bo3, LOBBY NOT JOINABLE.....bo3 is the best of all cod games because of the workshop content for zombies, but for a week now its NOT joinable....its the game and not us......but no one has a answer...thats my story. what other info does a smart person need, yes
verified game
restarted both pcs
rebooted internet
uninstalled game and redownloaded it
removed all workshop content and tryed factory maps

my friend and I have lived in same houses a;; 9 years with same internet company
we live 5 miles apart
we are in ohio usa
all other games work fine co op
bo3 is the only game that says not joinable.
have had no updates to windows or any hardware past week
