Extremely strange that the crossplay enable/disable setting is just not present on the other platforms. Couldn't join on PC after wracking my brain, even did the port forwarding and got to OPEN NAT in game, turns out it was because of this. The kicker is I only played a bit on ps5, so I had to wait for an entire download of MW2 JUST to toggle this setting, so I could then get on with playing it on PC. Mind boggling incompetence from these developers, kudos for figuring this one out!
Hi. Yes, it really odd. All the different platforms should have the option for switching off crossplay. PC players sometimes don’t like playing with console players, keyboard/mouse vs controller etc. and visa versa. Then some platforms are more susceptible to hacks and cheats etc. For whatever reason, the choice should be down to the player if they want crossplay or not. I mean, how hard can it really be to implement that option for everyone? What’s even more perplexing is why the PS5 is screwing up the ability to join a game for the same account on PC or Xbox. As you say, “ Mind boggling incompetence from these developers ”. 👍 Cheers, Dave.
Yup that was the problem on PlayStation as well. I have 2 PlayStations and I switched cross play off on one of them and all of a sudden I couldn’t play online. After I switched it back it worked. 👍🏽
I have this problem. I had a PS5 but traded it for an Xbox Series X a few months ago. When I had a PS5 I had the crossplay turned off. Now that I'm on Xbox I can't matchmake in Warzone no matter what. I can wait forever and it won't matchmake. The problem is that I no longer have the PS5 to be able to change the crossplay setting. So I'm stuck.
I tried contacting Activision but they were not able to figure out what was the reason of this behavior, in my case I was able to fix this situation by following this video, I have PS5, Xbox and Rog Ally, Cant join any match in my Rog Ally and it is because my PS5 has the crossover OFF, last time I buy this game in two different platforms. Thanks a lot David!
Hi. That’s terrible, how can Activision not know what problems their own software is causing. There are many gamers out there who simply like to game and aren’t tied to just one platform, who could quite easily run into this problem and the solution just isn’t obvious. Anyway, I’m glad the video was of some help to you and thank you for your comment 👍 Cheers, Dave.
wait so i dont play my ps4 anymore.. i used to play mw2 there.. but i have a pc now, and just got the new mw3.. ive been having the 200ms ping problem not being able to load into a game.. but theres no option to turn crossplay on or off on the pc.. so if i dont have access to my ps4 to turn this on, am i technically fucked?
I don’t know any other way. Are you saying that you did have a PS5 and it had crossplay switched off and now you don’t have the PS5 but because it had crossplay switched off when you had it, you can no longer enter a game on PC using the same Battle.net/CoD account that was used on the PS5? If so, this is a massive problem that Activision must be aware of and it would seem that they are doing nothing about it. I would have thought that Activision could have reset this setting from a players request. Or at least they should have a remote setting within a player’s Battle.net/Cod account to change this. looks like I was actually really lucky to work this out. As I sold my PS5 a few weeks after making this video and my Warzone account would have been stuck if my last game on the PS5 before resetting and selling had not have had crossplay switched on. This whole thing sounds like an absolute mess. Cheers, Dave.
@@DavidHarry exactly this I switched from PS5 to PC and sold the PS5 however cross play is turned off. Activision seem clueless about it despite telling them the problem and asking if they can switch it off.
cant find a game on pc and i dont have the crossplay option for some reason? i swear i saw it when i first installed the game like a few days ago. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it just wont find a game.
It doesn't work for me, I also have to enter my password every time before I can play and the game reminds me that crossplay is off. I haven't had a PS4 for a long time and I followed your fix but no one can find it in the lobby. The ping goes up to a maximum of 60ms but I can't find a lobby because I live in Germany?
i got my shadow ban removed brother and the way to do it is just wait a week something like that they are seeing footage of your gameplay even if you are a new player they just want to make sure that you are not cheating or smurfing as an old player to ruin the fun for newer players that is just it dont worry they will undo the shadow ban to you just like me, hope this is helpful ! @@Tofast4thots567
I’m having this issue on warzone 3. I will find lobbies with cross play turned off but only 30-40 to start game on solos. When I turn on I get full lobbies but I don’t want to play against pc players. Any ideas? I only have ps5 and ps4
Hi. I don't think this "fix" would help you as I was not able to get into any modes and it was definitely the PS5 setting for crossplay that was the cause. Cheers, Dave.
Alright, Tone. Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been off the boil the last week or so and am just playing catchup. This is something I worked out after about a day of going mad 😂 It was basically trial and error. Cheers, Dave.
I'm playing Warzone 2.0 on pc but used to play briefly on PS5. I've been playing with my two friends (one on ps4 one on ps5) and we've played near to 50 matches with crossplay. No issues. Suddenly, I can't get into a game with them but they can without me. After 10 minutes of queueing, we once got into a game with only 27 players and took 20 minutes for the pre game to put us into the actual game. I went onto my PS5 and crossplay was on and I couldnt load into a game on there either. Help please.
@@DavidHarryTurns out i was mass reported for “cheating”. I’ve never cheated or anything like that. My friend said it happened to him when he got a game where he managed to get 15+ kills compared to his average 3-5. But for me i average about 8-10 kills and had a game nothing out of the ordinary with 12 and got kicked out of the game which then started the problem.Activision auto suspension system is messed up. I’ve logged into the ban appeal website and it says my account is under review for a “possible violation”. Absolute rubbish. Cheers anyways
@@ItzMimikyu Hi. That’s an absolute joke, what are Activision up to? What I don’t get is that there are obvious cheaters and hackers who get away with murder. Yet, when a genuine legit player is using the functions that Activision have in the game, they are treated as cheaters. That’s absolutely disgusting. I hope they sort this soon. Cheers, Dave.
Hi. This video is only to help people who have a PS5 that's blocking their PC and Xbox games. Outside of that, I'm not sure what else will block PC gameplay or entering a game. Sorry. Cheers, Dave.
Why I am only seeing this video now? Since Warzone 2.0 I was searching for any explanation or what to do about Xbox not being allowed to find a match if Cross-play Off. Im here in Cambodia, I do not own PC or Playstation, I onky have Series X and I want to play Warzone exclusively on my Xbox. Because 90% of my lobby are cheaters
guys if you played on PS4 bevore set "cross play" on, i dont konw why but this fcks your lobby serach on xbox (i downloaded 60 GB update just to set this one klick it works)
@@DavidHarry nothing is explained. Crossplay is about the platform and has nothing to do with the Activision account.
