Fixing Modern Warfare 2’s Connecting Forever Error

You might experience an error where the game seemingly takes forever to connect when you’re trying to hop in and out of a party or a match. The game will somehow just freeze, and nothing will happen for a long period of time.

When that happens, try the following methods:

  • Disband the party by having the host player leave, then re-host it.
  • Have a different player host the party.
  • Try queuing up in other game modes.
  • Reboot the game entirely.

This is a bug that’s been plaguing a large portion of the player base so you’re definitely not alone. Aside from these temporary workarounds, Infinity Ward has yet to issue a proper fix for it, so we’ll just have to be patient for now.

It’s worth noting that if you do get a Connection Failed error, this could indicate that there’s a server outage, or that it’s experiencing heavy load. When that happens, just wait a while before trying to queue up in a party again.

That’s all you need to know about how to fix MW2’s connecting forever error. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game, including how to fix the Goldflake error in Warzone 2.0, the most busted weapons for Warzone right now, and our take on the Revive Pistol.
