So, it doesn’t seem to be a top-priority issue to fix for developers at the moment. ( Source)ġ0:47 am (IST): More than a month after the issue was escalated to the dev team, many players are still facing the ‘Failed to host lobby’ error message ( 1, 2, 3).Īlso, the issue has not yet been added to the official Treyarch Trello board. You don’t have to finish test, only start it. Moreover, some players say that running a speed test instead of restarting the game also works.ĭo a speed test instead of restarting game, forces you off server and you have to reconnect when you go back to game. Best way to avoid it is have everyone and yourself relaunch before even inviting and or never leave each other’s party because it seems to start happening after a rejoin etc.

the only way to fix it is exactly what you already said relaunching which is really bleh if you’re on ps4 or Xbox one because of the really slow load in times.

#CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS UPDATE#
We will update this story as events unfold.Ġ1:08 pm (IST): While the community manager has escalated this issue to the team for further investigation, Activision hasn’t yet acknowledged it on its official known issues page. If I receive any updates or questions from our team about it I’ll reach out again. I’ve shared the “Failed to host lobby” information with our team which is a separate discussion. However, there are no details on an ETA for a fix yet. The Treyarch team is already aware of the issue in question and is investigating. I own the game, my card wasn’t canceled nor was my purchase canceled but now it’s unplayable. So I restarted Cold War and now it says I don’t own the game at all. I tried to play zombies or multiplayer solo or with friends it says “failed to host lobby” every time. Source Sourceįor some players, the problem has even caused the system to think that they have not purchased the game. However, this is only a temporary fix, as the error message will appear again, and you will have to reboot each time it occurs. It seems that the only way to solve the problem is to restart the game. And it really sucks cause it’s the only game I wanna play. I’m really close to just putting away Cold War for good.

Have 6 friends who play Cold War, we all want to play together but every time we all get into a lobby we are disconnected with the error “Failed to host lobby” it’s been days and we’ve spent over 45 minutes just sitting in lobby trying to sort it out multiple times, each time we just get fed up and don’t even end up playing. Last update was a week ago and it’s still acting like this. Even after everyone in the party restarts the app, it still boots the leader!Ĭan’t hardly play for long with a party and enjoy the damn game.

In some cases, the error message even kicks players out of matches.
