How To Fix Call of Duty Mobile Won’t Connect Issue

You can just patiently wait for the problem to disappear and return to the game later on.

However, if the issue seems to be taking its sweet time, there are a number of possible solutions that you can try too. Follow our suggestions below on what to do.

Causes why Call of Duty Mobile may fail to start

Call of Duty Mobile may not connect or launch due to a number of factors. Oftentimes, game issues may go away on their own due to server-side lag, network errors, coding problems, or temporary glitches.

Server issue.

Since Call of Duty Mobile was launched in 2019, there had been intermittent server-side issues for this game. It’s for the publisher’s (Activision) own interests to fix server problems right away so these types of problems are usually fixed. As a gamer, all you need to do when this happens is to either wait for a resolution or install a game update.

Weak internet connection.

Call of Duty Mobile may not work properly when internet connection is intermittent or weak. Make sure that your 4G LTE or wifi is stable when gaming.

Also, you might want to consider the possibility of an network connection issue. If you rely on cellular or mobile data connection while playing, try to monitor if the signal bars fluctuate to indicate a possibility of a network issue.
